Who is Sickboy Podcast?

Sickboy Podcast is hilarious, ridiculously insightful and absolutely determined to break down the stigma associated with illness and disease! The show started with three best friends who recognized that when faced with difficult situations, illnesses and diseases, people tighten up, they get awkward, and they simply don't know what to say. Taking the lead from Jeremie's life long battle with Cystic Fibrosis, the boys help people understand that sometimes the best way to deal with illness, disease and life is simply to laugh. Join the conversation every Monday over on iTunes, Soundcloud, Google Play or wherever you get your podcast fixin's

Today I get poked and prodded at least once every two weeks, sit through a several hour infusion, have breathing tests, muscle tests, dietary restrictions, a genetics team… and this list could go on for a while.

We have come a long way in reducing the public’s perception of mental illness and stigma, and while there are miles to go, we don’t seem to extend that same compassion to our peers in medicine.
