    What happens when three family physicians sit down and get honest about what's missing in the care we provide? On this episode host Raj Sundar is joined by Dr. Rachel Weiner and Dr. Sophia Malik to explore why so many patients are carrying unprocessed trauma in their bodies — and why most of us were never given the tools to address it. They talk about Somatic Experiencing® (SE™), Compassionate Inquiry®, the nervous system, and what it actually looks like to bring body-based awareness into a 15-minute primary care visit. They also get personal about our own journeys with embodiment, dissociation, therapy, and the uncomfortable question of why we became physicians in the first place. This conversation is for any clinician who has ever sat with a patient and felt like something deeper was going on, but didn't know what to do next.

Continuing our focus on data integrity, Beth Friedman, Senior Partner at FINN Partners, met with Diana Sage, Director of Portfolio Management at MURJ, live at HIMSS'26 to discuss the evolving landscape of clinical information.

    On this special LIVE from HIMSS 2026 Gil is joined on the conference floor for a conversation that cuts against the conference's AI hype cycle. His guests Cheryl Pammer, Head of Insights, and Mikhail Golovnya, Senior Advisory Data Scientist, both of Minitab, bring something rare to a floor dominated by new entrants: fifty years of institutional memory in applied analytics. From their origins powering the Six Sigma quality revolution at GE and Motorola, to their 2017 acquisition of Salford Systems and its machine learning expertise, Minitab has been doing what the industry just started calling AI long before the term took hold. The conversation covers how the same disciplined, data-first thinking that optimized turbines and financial services workflows is now being applied to hospital operations, predicting patient falls, ranking post-surgical care providers, modeling ER throughput, and reducing readmissions. The throughline is a warning as much as a promise: the tools are mature, the opportunity is enormous, and the single biggest obstacle remains what it has always been, organizations that collect the wrong data, for the wrong reasons, before they have ever defined the problem they are trying to solve.
