Texas Family Doc Talk

A podcast by the Texas Academy of Family Physicians

Episode 5 — May 6, 2020

Tim Martindale, MD, of the Martindale Family Medicine Clinic in Waco, Texas, became ill with COVID-19 on April 5, 2020, and when the symptoms started, they hit fast. "It was not a light thing. It was a powerful anvil knocking me down," he says. Dr. Martindale describes his battle with the disease, several techniques and activities that probably kept him out of the hospital, and what his return to practice has been like.
