  • Sawbones 214: Dr. Joycelyn Elders Published 31St July 2020 Listen Here on Themcelroy.Family
    Sawbones 214: Dr. Joycelyn Elders Published 31st July 2020 Listen here on themcelroy.family Intro (Clint McElroy): Sawbones is a show about medical history, and nothing the hosts say should be taken as medical advice or opinion. It‟s for fun. Can‟t you just have fun for an hour and not try to diagnose your mystery boil? We think you‟ve earned it. Just sit back, relax and enjoy a moment of distraction from that weird growth. You‟re worth it. [theme music plays] Justin: Hello everybody, and welcome once again to Sawbones: a marital tour of misguided medicine. I‟m your cohost, Justin McElroy. It is— Sydnee: I— I‟m Sydnee McElroy. Justin: It‟s such a thrill to be here, Sydnee. Sydnee: You tried to cut me off before I got to introduce myself. Justin: Do you know what‟s sad? Do you know what‟s actually sad? Do you know why I did that? Sydnee: Why? Justin: In my head, I was thinking, “This is sounding good.” That‟s what I was thinking to myself, like, “I‟m in fine voice today.” That‟s what I was thinking, and that kept me from letting you introduce yourself. And I feel guilty about it. Sydnee: Maybe you need to think a little bit more of others than yourself. Justin: You know, this is a great time to be thinking of others, Sydnee, and one of the great ways that people can do that is by thinking of the others that make the podcasts that they love. It‟s Max Fun Drive right now.

On behalf of Macedonia 2025, our sponsors and supporters, I would like to thank you for your attendance and participation in this valuable, professional Summit. Globally, we are experiencing many economic challenges and unfortunately it does not look like a quick turnaround for Europe. Many economists believe this crisis will take years to work out. However, I still believe that it is very possible for developing countries like Macedonia to grow faster than the global or Euro economies. The realities of the country’s situation of low cost, available employees, strategic location, attractive tax INVESTMENT SUMMIT GLOBAL MACEDONIA rates and incentives for investment should be a competitive advantage for growth. But it will require confidence, urgency and resolve to move the country forward by all the stakeholders (employers, employees, the government, the education system, and the Diaspora). Because of this, we believe that it is a perfect time to explore the potential opportunities and strengthen the platform to build future partnerships and relationships.
