In Episode 103, Quinn & Brian ask: Why do so many more Black people die after heart transplants than everybody else? Our guests are: Dr. Hasina Maredia and Dr. Errol Bush, who recently published a paper in the American Heart Association’s journal, “Circulation: Heart Failure.” https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.1161/CIRCHEARTFAILURE.119.006107 (Their paper) concludes that “young Black recipients have a high risk of mortality in the first year after heart transplant, which has been masked in decades of research looking at disparities in aggregate.” Sorry for the spoilers, but that’s really just the beginning. The decades of systemic failures that allowed this to happen — and, most importantly, the steps we can take right now to improve these wildly disparate healthcare outcomes for young Black people — are the real meat of this story, told by two incredibly inspiring people.

Meet Dr. Ray Wurapa, orthopedic surgeon and co-owner of TruColourBandages.com.  I absolutely LOVE this episode.  Dr. Wurapa has an amazing approach to life; one that is refreshingly positive.  As an accomplished orthopedic surgeon, he could be boastful and arrogant, but rather he is humble and kind.  This comes across in a genuine manner throughout his podcast episode.  If more docs had this same approach, medicine would be a much better field.   CLICK HERE TO SUBSCRIBE TO THIS PODCAST ON ITUNES!   Premeds, Medical Students, and Doctors, Join Diverse Medicine Recruitment Center at www.DiverseMedicine.com!  We’re Bringing Diversity to Medicine!   If you’re a black male clinician with a great journey to share, we’d love to have you on the podcast.

The starting point to success is having mental clarity. We all get distracted from the billions of things in our day to day lives. These distractions cause a haziness in our minds.

Meet Student Doctor Foreman.  This is one excellent guy!  I've had the honor of getting to know him a little when he shadowed me in the hospital.  I love a lot of things about this episode, but what stands out most is Justin's humility.  He comes across as a very humble young man with tons of wisdom to share.  These are the type of role models with want to promote on Black Men In White Coats and the type of doctors we hope to see in the medical field.  Another thing I truly appreciate about his story is his desire to continually improve.  As Justin puts it, he's not competing against others, he's just trying to get better day by day!

Meet Dr. B.K. Edmond, a cardiac anesthesiologist on a mission to get more black male doctors.  This is a GREAT episode.  Listen to it twice.  Dr. Edmond and I chat via phone every so often and his enthusiasm never ceases to excite me.  This doc is on fire for the mission. In this episode, he drops gems of wisdom about what it takes to be successful.  More meaningful to me is his emphasis on what it means to give back. **Tune in to 3rd Hour of NBC’s The Today Show on Thursday June 27th as they feature Black Men In White Coats.  Please mark your calendars to watch! **We’re making a feature length documentary that will inspire generations to come!  Support our Kickstarter campaign starting Thursday June 27th!  We need your help. **Stay updated by getting on our mailing list at www.BlackMenInWhiteCoats.org **CLICK HERE TO SUBSCRIBE TO THIS PODCAST ON ITUNES! **Premeds, Medical Students, and Doctors, Join Diverse Medicine Recruitment Center at www.DiverseMedicine.com!  We’re Bringing Diversity to Medicine! **If you’re a black male clinician with a great journey to share, we’d love to have you on the podcast.

What is up family!  This week, I'm excited to feature Dr. Lamar Hasbrouck on Black Men In White Coats.  As he puts it, Dr. Hasbrouck was raised in a "deficit" environment and had to fight his way to success.  In the end, he came out on top.  This man is a LEADER!  He's done it all.  He's been a professor, researcher, Director of a state health department, author, etc.  To learn more about him and his book (G Street Lion), visits www.drlamarmd.org.   Subscribe to this podcast on Google or iTunes. **Sign up for our podcast extra credit worksheets at: www.BlackMenInWhiteCoats.org/worksheets **If you’re a black male clinician/scientist, we’d love to hear your story.  Email us at Podcast@BlackMenInWhiteCoats.org
