Comedicine

Our guest on this episode is the inimitable, incomparable, incredible Dr. Janet McMordie. She is a fellowship-trained sports medicine physician who also does surgical assist and mass gathering medicine. During the pandemic, she made a hard pivot to improv comedy. For her second act, she is an improv performer, actor in film and TV, voiceover artist, stunt performer and podcaster. She is also a medical consultant for film and TV where she tries really hard to make art medically accurate, but that’s hard because sometimes medically accurate doesn’t look good on TV. She is going to tell us about how she does all of this. It’s an amazing and fun and cool chat!!
