Episode Information

Urologist Dr. Dana C. Rice talks about misconceptions related to UTIs, developing her UTI Tracker App, Kidney Stones, and more.

Topics Include:

  • Growing up on Cape Cod
  • How sibling rivalry caused her to be extremely competitive
  • Playing lots of different sports as a child and the importance of always being the best
  • How she initially wanted to be the doctor that would save the world but how she discovered her interest in surgery and urology
  • Her own childhood experiences with vesicoureteral reflux and her journey to becoming a urologist
  • The app she created  (UTI Tracker)  and her partnership with UTIVA
  • A bit about kidney stones and UTIS
  • How with women, UTIs are thought of as being caused by sex, but how they are actually often caused by hormone-based change like pregnancy, periods and menopause
  • How drinking enough water, losing weight (or maintaining a decent weight) and keeping fit can help to prevent kidney stones
  • How kidney stones can be caused by not drinking enough water but also how they have a genetic component
  • The similarity between pearls and kidney stones
  • Why she likes Doctorpedia and how it will become a one stop website for all things medical

I am a firm believer that too much information is overwhelming and confusing and too little information can be dangerous because you could hear only one side of a story and be fixated on that. And that may not be the right treatment.
