Thomas Lo, M.D., D.ABA, aka "Chef Dr. Lo," is a board-certified Anesthesiologist, Chef, CEO, and Entrepreneur. After graduating from Yale University with a degree in Molecular Biology, Dr. Chef Lo began his professional culinary career studying at the French Culinary Institute in New York. With a strong background in fundamental culinary techniques, Thomas interned at Veritas and Lupa Osteria and then joined the opening team of Virot restaurant at the Dylan Hotel in New York. Chef Dr. Lo is also the owner and culinary director of Spy C Cuisine restaurant in Forest Hills, New York. Spy C Cuisine has quickly gained critical accolades from the New York Times and received its first Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2020. With the understanding of the molecular physiology of taste, Chef Dr. Lo enjoys playing with the palate by synergistically combining flavor combinations and balancing the harmonies of sweet, salty, bitter, and sour. By contrasting various textures of his dishes, Chef Dr. Lo attempts to introduce the complexities and subtleties of food to you. As a Chef Physician, he is able to educate his customers, patients, and fellow colleagues on the medicinal aspects of haute cuisine. As a chef anesthesiologist, Chef Dr. Lo is known for his Sichuan Mind-Numbing Sauce, which must be properly prepared and used for dishes to provide the perfect balanced flavor profile. When given in the proper amount, harmony is achieved; but when too much is given, the flavors are overpowering. Although this would not be like a true overdose that Chef Dr. Lo sees in the operating room, the taste of the dish becomes acrimonious.

Anesthesiologist and psychotherapist Maire Daugharty discusses her article, "Why real therapy isn't just about crisis." She challenges the common misconception that therapy is only necessary or effective during acute crises ("crisis-hopping"), explaining that this view can lead to premature termination—a "flight to health"—when underlying work remains. Maire emphasizes that periods of calm in therapy are essential for integrating positive changes, processing accomplishments, and solidifying shifts in perspective and self-structure. The conversation also explores the critical importance of respecting patient autonomy and boundaries in both therapeutic and medical settings, acknowledging that clinicians cannot fully know a patient's inner world. Furthermore, Maire clearly distinguishes the deep, exploratory work of psychotherapy, which often involves confronting difficult truths ("approaching the shattered mirror") and altering implicit assumptions, from the explicit skill-building and goal-oriented approach of coaching, which works with the existing self-structure.

This week on SUPERWOMEN, I'm joined by Dr. Tiffany Moon, board-certified anesthesiologist, entrepreneur, author, and former cast member of “The Real Housewives of Dallas,” for an honest conversation about finding perspective and building self-worth. In this episode, Tiffany shares some of the lessons that shaped her new book, “Joy Prescriptions,” and opens up about the power of letting go, saying no, and finding confidence outside of achievement. We discuss her incredible journey, from her unexpected leap into reality TV to launching multiple businesses. Tiffany opens up about the moment she realized success wasn't synonymous with joy, and how that realization led her to reimagine her life. The accolades, the titles, and the “dream job” just weren't filling up her cup the way she had imagined they would. Between launching a summit for professional women and juggling multiple businesses, she lets us in the power of using joy, not perfection, as a metric of success.Whether she's in the operating room, onstage at her LeadHer Summit, or at home with her twin daughters, Tiffany's story is a reminder that life doesn't start after reaching your professional goals—it begins when you “find worth in just being you.”Thank you for listening!

In this episode of Bioethics in the Margins, we delve into the topic of capital punishment by nitrogen gas. Dr. Robert Glatter is Editor at Large for Medscape Emergency Medicine and Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine at Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell. Dr. Peter Papadakos is Professor of Anesthesiology, Surgery, Neurology and Neurosurgery at the University of Rochester, and a Professor of Internal Medicine at Mercer University School of Medicine. Drs. Papadakos and Glatter dissect the harsh realities of suffering and injustice surrounding the execution of Kenneth Smith in Alabama, the first person executed using nitrogen gas. They explore what nitrogen is and its physiological effects and reflect on the inhumane nature of nitrogen hypoxia. The conversation also touches upon the broader issues of botched executions, delayed executions as psychological torture, the absence of definitive DNA evidence in some death row cases. They highlight the point that both the American Medical Association and the American Society of Anesthesiologists as well as many nursing associations state that participating in executions is not the practice of medicine and is prohibited by their members. This means that executions are conducted by non-medical personnel. They also point out that delaying executions, sometimes for decades, falls under the definition of torture under the Geneva conventions. This conversation poses the question; if our society continues to condone these practices, are we civilized?The JAMA editorial mentioned during the podcast can be found here: Evidence Against Use of Nitrogen for the Death Penalty | Neurology | JAMA | JAMA Network

Timestamps: (11:10) - Anesthesiologist Cases Anesthesiologist Gerhardt Konig and his nuclear engineer wife Arielle had been having marital issues.   Gerhardt suggested a weekend away on Oahu in an attempt to repair the relationship.   While they were taking photos at a lookout, Gerhardt allegedly turned violent.  Arielle has said that he tried to push her off a cliff before beating her with a rock.   She also said that he produced two syringes filled with an unknown substance and attempted to poke her with them.  Gerhardt has been charged with attempted murder. Texas anesthesiologist Raynaldo Riviera Ortiz Jr seemed to have it all.   He owned a multi-million dollar contracting business.   He purchased a mansion and multiple luxury vehicles.  The reality of his life was very different - Raynaldo owed millions of dollars to the IRS.   In 2022, numerous patients at the hospital where Raynaldo worked suffered unusual medical emergencies.  Raynaldo was investigated and it was determined that he had tampered with IV bags.  He has been dubbed a medical terrorist and has recently been sentenced to 190 years in prison.

“Facing Denial, Embracing Vulnerability” Join me and my guest Dr. Andrew G. Kadar. Dr. Kadar, is a renowned physician at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and was used to taking care of patients—not being one himself. But just as he was embarking on a new marriage, a few episodes of minor chest pain sent this healthy, successful anesthesiologist to his doctor's office, where he received a shocking diagnosis: he had severe heart disease and required immediate open-heart surgery. With extraordinary wisdom and unflinching candor Dr. Kadar describes his unexpected journey as a man in seemingly excellent health into the dire realm of illness and subsequent recovery. Dr. Kadar is a physician at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, a Diplomate of the American Board of Anesthesiology, and a Fellow of the American Society of Anesthesiologists. He graduated from the Yale University School of Medicine and completed his residency at Stanford and Harvard Universities (Massachusetts General Hospital). He has served on the faculties of the UCLA School of Medicine, Charles Drew University, and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. He has appeared on Good Morning America and NBC Nightly News, as well as Air Talk with Larry Mantle and The Dennis Prager Show. Summary In this episode, Dr. Andrew Kadar shares his unexpected journey through a significant health challenge, exploring themes of denial, vulnerability, and the importance of communication. He reflects on the lessons learned from his experience as both a doctor and a patient, emphasizing the need for connection, appreciation, and a positive impact on others. The discussion also touches on the role of caregivers and the shift in perspective regarding life and mortality. Takeaways Denial can hinder our ability to face health challenges. Vulnerability fosters connection and understanding. Communication is key in patient-caregiver relationships. Health challenges can lead to personal growth and self-discovery. It's important to appreciate the support of caregivers. Life's unexpected events can be viewed as opportunities. A positive mindset can influence recovery and resilience. We should strive to make a positive impact on others. Understanding mortality can shift our life priorities. Everything in life eventually needs to be shared and distributed.

if you have any feedback, please send us a text! Thank you!Host: Rita Agarwal, MD, FAAP, FASAGuests: Rakhi Dayal, MD, and Amber Borucki, MDWelcome to another episode of Vital Times, the California Society of Anesthesiologists' Podcast with your host Dr. Rita Agarwal.Pain is the most common reason that people seek medical care and since the beginning of time, we have searched for better ways to treat pain. For many years opium and its derivatives were the mainstay of pain management, with local anesthetics making an appearance in this country in the past century or so. While scientists, physicians, researchers, and industry have sought to find better medications and approaches, the onset of the opioid crises in early 2000s really sped up that mandate. The FDA has committed resources and funding to help these new treatments and as a result there are now several new drugs on the market.Joining me today to explore these new modalities are Dr. Rahki Dayal who is a Professor at the University of California, Irvine, double board-certified in anesthesiology and pain medicine. She chairs the Pain Committee for the California Society of Anesthesiologists and is the Program Director of Pain Medicine at UCI. Dr. Amber Borucki is an Associate Professor of Anesthesiology at Stanford University and a pediatric anesthesiologist and pain specialist from Stanford School of Medicine. She is also the newly elected Sectrtary/Treasurer of the Society for Pediatric Pain Medicine.On January 30 the FDA approved a new non-opioid pan medication for moderate to severe pain. In the past few years several new classes and types of medications have also been approved for use. These include Zynrelef-a combination of bupivacaine ( a long acting local anesthesthetic ) and meloxicam ( a long lasting NSAID), and Vocacapsacian a prodrug to capasacian that in at ;east one study has been shown to provide up to 96 hours of pain relief , when injected locally after bunionectomy surgery.Join us as we explore these medications and the newly released suzetrigine (Journavx) with our 2 experts. ReferencesNewly Approved Painkiller Provides Relief Without Addictionhttps://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-approves-novel-non-opioid-treatment-moderate-severe-acute-pain A new long-acting analgesic formulation for postoperative pain management.Zhang W, Wu M, Shen C, Wang Z, Zhou X, Guo R, Yang Y, Zhang Z, Sun X, Gong T.Int J Pharm. 2024 Oct 25;664:124599. doi: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2024.124599.

In this episode we look through the lens of some of my iconic characters. What happens when the Neurologist tries to fix an internet outage or when the Anesthesiologist tackles modern math homework? How would the Internal Medicine Doctor handle a clogged toilet? We explore these hilariously relatable scenarios while sharing their real-life experiences as parents navigating daily chaos. Takeaways: Carpool eavesdropping is a surprising parenting hack that offers insights into preteen lives without intruding on their space. Parenting challenges don't stop at work, as balancing medical careers and family life requires creativity, humor, and patience. Everyday challenges like internet outages and math homework can be hilariously reframed when imagined through the lens of medical characters. Listening is key to parenting, especially during the preteen years when kids may be reluctant to share openly. Doctors are just as human as anyone else, finding ways to laugh and learn through parenting mishaps and wins. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live  We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

The more we learn about the alleged killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, the more his digital footprint falls into the Offline wheelhouse. Luigi Mangione has posted about Jonathan Haidt and Catherine Price; on Twitter he follows everyone from AOC to Ezra Klein to Joe Rogan. And don't get us started on his Goodreads profile! Jon and Max talk through the internet's embrace of a suspected murderer, and whether the edgelords really believe what they're posting. But first! The DC Circuit Court of Appeals rejected TikTok's attempt to overturn an impending ban, which is scheduled to take effect next month—unless Trump or SCOTUS intervene. Plus, Max rants about the American Society of Anesthesiologists and Jon talks about what drove him to write an article for The Atlantic. 

Ralph welcomes retired diplomat Ambassador Chas Freeman to discuss the United States' disregard for international law, the incoming Trump administration's approach to foreign policy, and the decline of the American Empire (among other topics).Ambassador Chas Freeman is a retired career diplomat who has negotiated on behalf of the United States with over 100 foreign governments in East and South Asia, Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, and both Western and Eastern Europe. Ambassador Freeman was previously a Senior Fellow at Brown University's Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs, and served as U.S. Assistant Secretary of Defense, U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia, acting Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, and Deputy Chief of Mission and Chargé d'Affaires in the American embassies at both Bangkok and Beijing. He was Director for Chinese Affairs at the U.S. Department of State from 1979-1981. He was the principal American interpreter during the late President Nixon's historic visit to China in 1972. In addition to Chinese, Ambassador Freeman speaks French and Spanish at the professional level and can converse in Arabic and several other languages.He concluded his thirty years in public service as Assistant Secretary of Defense, responsible for managing defense relations with all regions of the world except the countries of the former Soviet Union. Ambassador Freeman is the author of several well-received books on statecraft and diplomacy, including The Diplomat's Dictionary, America's Misadventures in the Middle East, and America's Continuing Misadventures in the Middle East.I think it's fair to say that our country led the drive for international law, a world order that was based on rules established by consensus and legitimized at the United Nations. But we have also led the drive away from the rule of law, both internationally and domestically. And I think the connection is contempt for procedural justice or due process.Chas FreemanThat whole area of international law—which was a stabilizing force in the world—has gone [when Trump removed us from the Intermediate Nuclear Forces Agreement in Europe.] And the UN Charter is disrespected—not just the US Constitution is—in its fundamentals. We invade the sovereignty of other countries with no serious regard for the legal prohibitions against that. And in fact, those legal prohibitions—which once were something that smaller countries could rely upon when they confronted the great powers—are no longer effective. Therefore, we see at the local level, the regional level, a proliferation of weapons designed to counter and defend against attack by greater powers. So the whole world is in effect arming itself. This is very good for arms manufacturers, but it's very bad for the prospects for our species.Chas FreemanThere are no realistic threats against the United States—except those that we are provoking. Our view seems to be that the best way to deal with the hornet's nest—I'm speaking of West Asia, the Middle East here—is to go and poke the hornets in their nest.Chas FreemanThe real risk now…is Israel has so much power in the US that it could create incidents which would flip the United States into a blazing barrage of empire expansion— and suppression in the United States domestically. And they have an incoming president who is ripe for that kind of manipulation to begin with.Ralph NaderIn Case You Haven't Heard with Francesco DeSantisNews 12/11/241. On December 4th, UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was assassinated in broad daylight in Midtown Manhattan. Clues indicated that the killing was political; most notably, the words “delay,” “deny” and “depose” were each written on one of the three bullets fired at the scene. As AP notes, “The messages mirror the phrase ‘delay, deny, defend,' which is commonly used by lawyers and critics about insurers that delay payments, deny claims and defend their actions.” Following nearly two full days of nescience, authorities turned up a suspect – Luigi Mangione, the Ivy League-educated scion of an established Baltimore family who had shown signs of increasingly erratic behavior in recent months, perhaps related to ever-worsening back pain. When Mangione was apprehended in an Altoona, Pennsylvania McDonald's, he was found with “a three-page handwritten document that indicated ‘motivation and mindset,'” the BBC reports, however authorities have not released this manifesto. Perhaps unsurprisingly, ABC 7 New York reports that Mangione's actions have unleashed a torrent of “‘volcanic' anger,” toward health insurance agencies, which many regard as capricious and cruel. It remains to be seen how this public sentiment will factor into what is sure to be a highly-publicized criminal trial.2. The reverberations of Mangione's actions are already being felt. Back in November, the American Society of Anesthesiologists issued a statement decrying Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield's unilateral declaration that it would refuse to “pay for anesthesia care if [a] surgery or procedure goes beyond an arbitrary time limit, regardless of how long the surgical procedure takes.” The ASA called on Anthem to reverse that proposal, but their pleas were ignored. That is until December 5th – just one day after the UnitedHealthcare shooting – when the company abruptly reversed themselves and even scrubbed the announcement of the policy from their website. Of course, Anthem insists that the outcry was based on “misinformation” and denies any correlation between the assassination and their decision, per NBC, but the timing frankly makes that difficult to believe.3. Another New York City killing also made the news last week: the trial of Daniel Penny, a former U.S. Marine on trial for strangling Jordan Neely to death in a New York subway car. Neely was an African-American street artist who had been experiencing homelessness. CNN reports Penny was found not guilty of criminally negligent homicide, already a lesser charge than the original second-degree manslaughter allegation, which Judge Maxwell Wiley dismissed Friday after jurors “twice told the court they could not come to a verdict on the count.” Neely's father, Andre Zachary, is quoted saying “I miss my son. My son didn't have to go through this. I didn't have to go through this either…What's going to happen to us now? I've had enough of this. The system is rigged.”4. Turning to the Middle East, the regime of Bashar al-Assad in Syria has fallen. Assad, with help from Russia, has clung to power since the country descended into civil war in 2011, beating back all manner of rival forces ranging from U.S.-backed rebels to left-wing Kurdish militias to ISIS. The faction that finally did wrest power from Assad is called Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham or HTS, which splintered from Al-Qaeda but is now engaging in a so-called “charm offensive” per France24, and promoting itself as a tolerant faction that will not subjugate women or oppress ethnic and religious minorities such as Syrian Christians, Druze, and Kurds. In a statement, the group told the Kurds of Aleppo “You have the right to live freely … Diversity is a strength of which we are proud…We denounce the actions of the Islamic State group against the Kurds, including the enslavement of women … We are with the Kurds to build the Syria of tomorrow.” ABC reports the U.S. will “recognize and support a new Syrian government that renounces terrorism, destroys chemical weapons stocks and protects the rights of minorities and women.” So far HTS seems to fit the bill. And if this all wasn't enough, the Syrian situation is further complicated by Israel using this moment to expand its foothold in the country. CNN reports Israel has “launched airstrikes at military targets across Syria and deployed ground troops both into and beyond a demilitarized buffer zone for the first time in 50 years,” setting the stage for a possible new front in Netanyahu's ongoing regional war.5. In Palestine, the Intercept reports five Palestinians in the West Bank, along with the councils of the three villages they hail from have filed “a formal regulatory complaint in Germany accusing the media giant Axel Springer of contributing to human rights abuses in Palestine.” Specifically, the complaint concerns Yad2, a classified ads platform and subsidiary of Axel Springer that has been compared to Craigslist, which the plaintiffs allege enables illegal settlements. According to the complaint filed by Jerusalem Legal Aid and Human Rights Centre, Yad2's facilitation of settler activity violates Germany's Supply Chain Due Diligence Act, which “requires German companies to identify and mitigate human rights risks within their global supply chains, including in subsidiaries which they control.”6. In more Israel/Palestine news, the student body at Yale has “overwhelmingly,” passed three pro-Palestine referenda, including two demanding that the university “disclose and divest from its holdings in military weapons manufacturers, ‘including those arming Israel,'” per Yale Daily News. These measures passed with around 80% of the vote. Han Pimental-Hayes, an organizer with the pro-Palestine Sumud Coalition, is quoted saying “University leaders have long tried to paint pro-Palestine and pro-divestment students as a fringe minority. The results of this referendum demonstrate that in reality, the movement for a free Palestine and a more ethical endowment is overwhelmingly popular.” Yale Friends of Israel however expressed that they are “certain” Yale will not change its investment policy regarding Israel's weapons of war.7. Looking to Africa, Semafor reports that the incoming Trump White House appears set to recognize the breakaway state of Somaliland, spurred on by right-wing elements who wish to use the unrecognized country as a base for anti-China intelligence operations. This piece highlights that this move would rattle the governments of East Africa and draw the ire of the African Union, but Trump's China hawks see it as a critical element of countering Chinese influence in the region and particularly in Djibouti where the People's Liberation Army has set up one of its handful of foreign military bases. Even if Trump does not recognize Somaliland however, and instead hews to the traditional American “One Somalia” policy, Republicans are calling for Trump to take an approach akin to Taiwan – treating it as independent without formal recognition.8. Turning to domestic politics, POLITICO reports Democrats are staging a “mutiny” against the old guard who have monopolized power in the House. This report focuses on Rep. Jerry Nadler, 77, who will vacate his position as the top Democrat on Judiciary to clear the way for Jamie Raskin, Rep. Raul Grijalva, 76, who announced he would step down as the top Dem on the Natural Resources Committee, and David Scott of Georgia, 79, who is looking down the barrel at multiple challenges for his spot on the Agriculture Committee. Since this piece was published, another major challenge has emerged – NBC reports AOC is gunning for the top Democratic spot on the Oversight Committee. The POLITICO piece emphasizes Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries' approach of letting the challenges “speak for themselves,” as an indication that he will not fight this wave of challenges.9. Washington Post labor reporter Lauren Kaori Gurley reports the Teamsters are demanding Amazon agree to bargaining dates by December 15. In a statement, Teamsters President Sean O'Brien writes “The Teamsters are done asking nicely for Amazon to stop breaking the law. Amazon must commit to come to the table and bargain a Teamsters contract with its workers — or face the consequences of its inaction.” This gambit by the Teamsters comes just as the winter holiday gift deliveries are getting into full swing, maximizing the union's leverage. Moreover, the Teamster's Faustian bargain with the Trump administration may yield results for them, as the normally business friendly Republicans may be inclined to put the screws to Amazon on behalf of this particular union. Whatever the circumstances, the Amazon Teamsters deserve a contract and it is heartening that O'Brien is fighting for his members.10. In decidedly worse Trump news, the president-elect has announced former Missouri Republican Congressman Billy Long as his pick to lead the IRS. A story by the Lever sounds the alarm on how he might use the “non-profit killer” bill to pursue political vendettas against tax-exempt organizations he dislikes. This piece exposes Long's role in trying to pressure the IRS to launch a probe into, of all things, the Humane Society following their support of a Missouri ballot measure strengthening dog breeder regulations. Put another way, if Long was ready to use the long-arm of the IRS to crack down on an organization whose sole political goal is the protection of animals, what might he do to organizations devoted to civil rights or social justice?This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

A Texas anesthesiologist, Dr. Raynaldo Ortiz Jr., 61, has been sentenced to 190 years in federal prison for injecting drugs into patients' IV bags, resulting in at least one death and causing multiple cardiac emergencies. Northern District of Texas Chief Judge David C. Godbey described Ortiz's actions as "tantamount to attempted murder.” During the sentencing hearing, emotional testimonies were presented. One victim's son told the court that his 10-year-old child no longer trusts doctors because "a doctor tried to kill Pops." Another family member recalled the horror of seeing Ortiz's "dead fish stare" on surveillance video. In April, Ortiz was convicted on multiple counts, including four counts of tampering with consumer products resulting in serious bodily injury, one count of tampering with a consumer product, and five counts of intentional adulteration of a drug. "Dr. Ortiz cloaked himself in the white coat of a healer, but instead of curing pain, he inflicted it," U.S. Attorney Leigha Simonton said in a statement following the conviction. "He assembled ticking time bombs, then sat in wait as those medical time bombs went off one by one, toxic cocktails flowing into the veins of patients who were often at their most vulnerable, lying unconscious on the operating table. We saw the patients testify. Their pain, their fear, and their trauma were palpable in that courtroom." The unexplained medical emergencies began in 2022 at Baylor Scott & White Surgicare North Dallas, just two days after Ortiz was notified of a disciplinary inquiry stemming from an incident where he allegedly deviated from the standard of care, according to the criminal complaint. Ortiz, who had a history of disciplinary actions, reportedly complained to colleagues that the center was trying to "crucify" him. Surveillance footage presented during the trial showed Ortiz repeatedly retrieving IV bags from a warming bin and then returning them shortly after. The videos also depicted him mixing vials of medication and observing as emergency responders assisted the victims. Doctors testified about their confusion when patients' blood pressure suddenly skyrocketed after new IV bags were administered. Upon reviewing medical records, they noticed a pattern: all the emergencies occurred immediately after hanging new IV bags. Patients recounted waking up unexpectedly intubated in intensive care units, experiencing pain and fear for their lives. The surgical center reported five emergency transfers in August 2022 alone, matching the facility's total for the entire previous year. Approximately a month after the unexplained emergencies began, a fellow anesthesiologist at the facility died while treating herself for dehydration using an IV bag. This incident heightened suspicions about the IV bags being tampered with. In August 2022, suspicions were further raised when an 18-year-old patient undergoing sinus surgery experienced severe symptoms, including high blood pressure, cardiac dysfunction, and pulmonary edema. She was rushed to the intensive care unit in critical condition. Tests on her IV bag fluid revealed a dangerous mix of bupivacaine (a nerve-blocking agent), epinephrine (a stimulant), and lidocaine (an anesthetic). Authorities also found a puncture in the bag. Investigations concluded that Ortiz had injected drugs into the IV bags, placed them back into the warming bin, and waited for them to be used in surgeries conducted by his colleagues. Surveillance footage corroborated these findings, showing Ortiz manipulating the IV bags and observing as patients suffered complications. Citing records from the Texas Medical Board, Ortiz had also been arrested on allegations of abusing women and shooting a pet dog. Additionally, local NBC affiliate KXAS reported that he owed millions of dollars to the IRS. His defense attorney, John Nicholson, argued that prosecutors had targeted the most convenient person without thoroughly investigating other medical staff who handled the IV bags. Despite the defense's claims, the jury found Ortiz guilty on all charges. TOrtiz's sentencing brings a measure of closure to the victims and their families, but the trauma inflicted remains. As U.S. Attorney Simonton emphasized, "He exploited his position to harm patients at their most vulnerable moments. Today's sentence ensures he will never harm another patient again."

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.politix.fmLast week, a big public uproar forced the health-insurance carrier Anthem to backtrack on a plan to cut reimbursements for anesthesia. Then, an assassin—suspected to be a 26 year old ivy league graduate named Luigi Mangiano—murdered Brian Thompson, the CEO of United Healthcare.In this episode, Matt and Brian discuss:* Why there such widespread progressive interest in both of these stories;* How the progressive backlash against Anthem, driven by the American Society of Anesthesiologists, underscores just how thorny the politics of Medicare for all would be in practice;* Whether either of these developments would have played out differently under a better-conceived health-care finance system.Then, behind the paywall, why the differences between public and private health insurance really do matter, both in policy terms and as lightning rods for public anger. Would people left of center have been angry at Medicare for cutting payments to anesthesiologists? (Spoiler: Medicare already did this.) How badly do the profit and brand-management motives private insurers operate under warp patient care, relative to public payers like Medicare? Is it fair to be angrier at private health insurance companies than public providers for rationing services?All that, plus the full Politix archive are available to paid subscribers—just upgrade your subscription and pipe full episodes directly to your favorite podcast app via your own private feed. Further reading:* Lisa Beutler, from the archive, on the solidarity-based case for Medicare for all. * Matt Bruenig on why private health insurers actually are the worst bad guys in the health-care system, despite being middle men. * Noah Smith on why, actually, no, it's the doctors and hospitals and such.

Well, in the last 4 weeks there have some interesting developments in the sphere of OBGYN medical news. In October 2024, out of the American Society of Anesthesiologists, came a study on the possibility of using serum FAR to predict preeclampsia with severe features in admitted patients (don't worry, we'll discuss what FAR is!). PLUS, some exciting, although preliminary, data has been published out of Baylor College of Medicine raising the possibility of a non-invasive test for endometriosis using…POOP! Yep, poop. And on October 31, 2024 a new clinical perspectives article was published in the Green Journal “CHALLANGING” the recent ACOG's Clinical Practice Update regarding screening for pregestational DM in early pregnancy. Intrigued? You should be….we will cover these 3 tidbits of OBGYN news in this episode!
