Annie Nalepa comes back to the Podcast Lounge with Dr. Nicole Wilkins to discuss what they are seeing in Quidditch.  Yes the broomstick flying, snitch chasing, Harry Potter fanatic game.  Lots of injuries with little follow up care as this is a club sport at best for most schools.
We are broadcasting live from the 2018 NATA expo in New Orleans.
We used Facebook live to stream as many of the NATA 2018 Expo Interviews as possible.
Thanks Frio Hydration and DragonFly MAX for your hospitality.

Houston is home to one the leading medical centers in the world.  There is a doctor, neighborhood ER, Physical Therapist and every kind of specialist you can think of within 45 minutes (half of that is time is due to traffic and lights)
