A Deep Dive into Primary Care Medicine: A Conversation with Dr. John Mendelson, an Addiction Researcher and Physician, Startup Co-founder, and Primary Care Doctor for 30 Years.

June 01, 2022 16:32 - 29 minutes - 40.9 MB

Medicine is more of a team sport than we might like to admit, and yet the romance of one-on-one care glorified in TV shows like Marcus Welby, M.D. continue to be mythologized. Airing from 1969-1976, the show starred Robert Young as the title character, a family practitioner with a kind bedside manner, who was on a first-name basis with many of his patients (and who also made house calls).  There have been tectonic shifts in medicine both in terms of treatments and the delivery of care ...

Psychedelics as Agents of Transformation: A Conversation with Psychiatrist Dr. Jennifer Guo, Director of Psychedelic Medicine at Mindful Health Solutions

December 31, 2021 07:00 - 34 minutes - 47.9 MB

There has been a renaissance of interest in the boundary-pushing, consciousness-altering medications for alleviation of suffering in psychiatric patients. Bipartisan in nature, and with a growing public interest from politicians and donors, this movement is spurred by a cultural shift away from the War on Drugs.

December 01, 2021 17:29 - 30 minutes - 41.2 MB

The ravages and toll of the Covid pandemic with its associated breakdown in civility, complicated by a flawed pipeline in Nursing education, define the current challenges facing our beleaguered Nursing workforce in the U.S. An insufficient investment of both time and money, a misplaced hero worship, disinformation, and an unrealistic expectation for sustained effort in the face of perpetual tragedy contribute to a slow but steady erosion of the foundation of Nursing. Dr. Sharon Goldfarb...

November 01, 2021 05:40 - 32 minutes - 44 MB

When it comes to treating depression, it's the rest of the world that is delivering health care innovations to the United States. The global burden of unrecognized and untreated depression in terms of suffering and lost productivity is staggering. This is not just true in economically developing countries, but in the United States as well. A lack of broad access to affordable, effective, quality-based mental health care is a universal problem. In recent years, innovative research has dr...

October 01, 2021 15:56 - 34 minutes - 47.6 MB

‘If America catches a cold, black folks get pneumonia’ is a common phrase in the African-American community, and we have seen the suffering during Covid fall disproportionately on communities of color. Thirty years ago, Dr. Scott Cook wrote his thesis on “The Public Health Implications of Institutional Racism and how it Affects the Health of African American Males”.

September 01, 2021 20:10 - 38 minutes - 52.5 MB

The Covid pandemic has starkly demonstrated the reality that those individuals experiencing poverty and social inequality get sick and die at higher rates than the general population. This is also true with other illnesses. Inflammation is the body’s response to infectious agents and environmental toxins but also to chronic stress and suffering inflicted by things like poverty and structural racism. It is not hyperbolic to say at this juncture that we are an ‘inflamed’ society and plane...

October 30, 2020 17:48 - 29 minutes - 40.5 MB

Our healthcare system was already on the ropes pre-Coronavirus pandemic, as our country creeped towards some kind of national health coverage.
