📄 Therapists & Medical Professionals: Are You Documenting with Client Safety in Mind?
In this episode of TwoX Labs Podcast, Dr. Erika Miley sits down with Cairn Yakey, MA to discuss a critical yet often overlooked aspect of care—how we document our clients' information and the potential risks it carries.
For trans individuals, LGBTQIA2S+ clients, immigrants, neurodivergent individuals, and other marginalized populations, traditional documentation practices can create barriers, increase exposure to harm, or even put them at legal risk. This conversation explores how therapists and healthcare providers can rethink their approach to clinical and medical documentation to ensure safety, protect access to care, and minimize harm.
💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode: ✅ Why traditional documentation methods can be risky for marginalized communities ✅ How coded language can be used to protect rather than out clients ✅ Strategies for writing therapy and medical notes with safety and advocacy in mind ✅ How to reframe diagnosis, travel letters, and medical necessity to avoid unnecessary risks
🎧 Whether you're a therapist, social worker, medical provider, or advocate, this episode is essential for ensuring your documentation aligns with client protection and well-being.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
