The Injector Diaries (Chapter 16) with Julie Bass Kaplan

About this episode

The Injector Diaries feature in-depth conversations with injectors from around the globe, from newcomers to masters. We explore how and why they started injecting, the products they favour and what happens under the hood of their clinics.

In Chapter 16, California nurse practitioner Julie Bass Kaplan shares her origin story, starting a business, finding her voice online and handling trolls.

We discuss her early injecting days and her first vascular occlusion, recovery and how it changed her practice, discovering cannulas and whether they can occlude, how ultrasound changes everything, spasm versus occlusion, life as an educator, regenerative medicine, mentors and pharma training, advanced injector training, why weekend courses fail, her hiring and training philosophy, and trainer pay inequality.
