Author: Julia Brunet and Yvette Gonzalez, D.O. June 10, 2026 Duration: 54:39

Ever wondered what your child's doctor REALLY thinks during your appointment? Board-certified pediatrician Dr. Yvy sits down with co-host Julie in this unfiltered, zero-notes, totally impromptu conversation that every parent NEEDS to hear before their next pediatric visit. 🩺👶 From the ideal patient vs. the nightmare one, to parents showing up with AI-generated lab requests from ChatGPT and Claude — this episode covers it ALL. We're talking well-child checks, vaccine questions, Munchausen by proxy, real hospital stories, and the raw truth about what it's like to see 40+ patients in a single day.

🔥 IN THIS EPISODE:

✅ What makes an ideal pediatric patient (hint: come PREPARED)

✅ Why skipping well-child checks is a bigger deal than you think

✅ The truth about AI-generated doctor visit lists 🤖

✅ Real Munchausen by proxy cases — and how doctors catch them

✅ What happens when patients knock on the door mid-appointment

✅ Hospital vs. clinic life: which is better for doctors AND families?

✅ The broken insurance system and prior authorizations explained

✅ Why your pediatrician may have "let you go" (and it's not personal)
