It’s shaking us out of our complacency. Financial Residency talks about surviving quarantine, pandemic, and a market crash.
- Dr. Dave from Doctors Unbound Podcast received many inquiries about COVID-19. Everybody’s been impacted by this. As an anesthesiologist, who must intubate patients, Dr. Dave is at high risk. He's also a business owner who is taking a hit, so he can relate to fears on both health and financial fronts. This episode with Dr. Kevin Cuccaro, talks about how they’re dealing with this crisis and what they’re seeing in the medical community. Take a look at his message of hope.
