Dr. Shenkin on Humanistic Pediatrics, Health Policy, and Fixing Incentives in U.S. HealthcareOn The Pediatric Lounge, the hosts interview Dr. Shenkin, a Harvard-trained pediatrician, physician leader, and health policy expert who founded Bayside Medical Group in Oakland and grew it to a 35-physician, 10-office organization later sold to Stanford/Children's Hospital. He describes choosing pediatrics as “falling in love,” shaped by a neurosurgeon father, and recounts work in the Public Health Service during the Vietnam era, including leading and reshaping migrant health into early regional rural health centers and studying health systems and policy in Stockholm and Yale. The conversation critiques U.S. insurance, fee-for-service/RBRVS, RVUs, networks, PBMs, and administrative waste, arguing costs stem from high prices and bureaucracy, not patient overuse. They emphasize restoring humanistic care—patients feeling “cared for and cared about”—through values, systems, mentorship, and better measurement, while criticizing hierarchical training, Epic-driven box-checking, and misaligned incentives that prioritize revenue over care.00:00 Welcome to the Lounge00:30 Meet Dr. Bud Shenkin01:18 Why Pediatrics Chose Him01:34 Family Roots in Medicine05:13 Policy Path and Vietnam Era06:48 Training Abroad and Independence07:47 Great Profession, Bad Job09:40 Residency Mentors and Customer Service12:06 Why He Rejected Academia13:32 Insurance and Fee-for-Service Critique15:02 Catastrophic Coverage Debate17:15 Humanistic Care Without Money Anxiety18:58 Where Healthcare Overspends20:15 Hospital Pricing and System Power21:27 PBMs and Pharma Incentives24:45 Leading While Still Seeing Patients26:17 Hospitality Lessons for Healthcare29:07 Systems Thinking and Safety Design31:33 Building Humanistic Relationships32:49 Name Tags and Respect33:58 Selling to Big Systems36:27 Training and Hierarchy37:41 Epic and Box Checking38:14 Humanistic Exam Room40:27 Mentorship and Great Practices43:46 Networks vs Fiduciary Duty44:55 Falling in Love with Pediatrics48:36 Paying for Humanistic Care53:06 Trust, Dissent, and Leadership54:34 Becoming a Great Clinician01:00:08 Keeping Idealism Alive01:01:08 Closing and CreditsSupport the show

Send us Fan MailEste podcast es una grabación de un proyecto de DNP sobre educación para cuidadores acerca de la vacuna contra la gripe 2026-2027. Alexanda Barrow, estudiante de DNP en la Universidad de Florida, y su mentor académico, Michael Maymi, DNP, analizan educación basada en evidencia sobre la vacuna de este año. A continuación se presenta la lista de referencias utilizada para brindar la educación.No es solo un resfriadoProteja a su hijo en esta temporada de gripe Guion del podcast para padresBienvenida y presentaciónHola a todos. Me gustaría darles la bienvenida a nuestro podcast para padres sobre la vacuna contra la gripe: No es solo un resfriado, proteja a su hijo en esta temporada de gripe.Mi nombre es Alexandra. Soy estudiante de enfermería pediátrica de práctica avanzada en la Universidad de Florida y enfermera registrada local. He vivido en Lakeland toda mi vida y he trabajado en el sector de la salud en esta comunidad durante los últimos cuatro años.Y mi nombre es Michael. Soy profesor asociado clínico aquí en la Universidad de Florida y enseño en los programas de atención primaria y de cuidados agudos pediátricos. Tengo más de 30 años de experiencia pediátrica como enfermero y más de 15 años como enfermero de práctica avanzada en pediatría.Así que la temporada de gripe puede ser muy difícil para los niños y ya está a la vuelta de la esquina. Queremos trabajar con ustedes para mantener a sus hijos saludables este invierno. Este breve podcast responde a algunas preguntas comunes que las familias hacen sobre la gripe y la vacuna contra la gripe.Importancia de la vacuna contra la gripeEntonces, dime, Alexandra, ¿por qué es importante la vacuna contra la gripe?La gripe puede causar fiebre alta, tos, dolores corporales, vómitos, diarrea, deshidratación y problemas respiratorios en niños y adolescentes. Puede hacer que los niños falten a la escuela. Puede hacer que los padres falten al trabajo. Y los síntomas pueden durar varias semanas.Algunos niños y adolescentes necesitarán venir al consultorio para una visita por enfermedad. Es posible que necesiten atención en la sala de emergencias o incluso ser admitidos en el hospital debido a las complicaciones de la gripe, como deshidratación, lesiones musculares u otras complicaciones respiratorias.Vacunación cada añoEntonces, ¿por qué necesitamos ponernos esta vacuna cada año?Bueno, la vacuna en sí se basa en proyecciones y los virus de la gripe cambian. Por lo tanto, la vacuna se actualiza anualmente para brindarle la mejor protección contra la versión actual del virus.Mitos comunes sobre la vacunaAhora vamos a repasar algunos mitos comunes sobre la vacuna contra la gripe. Muchas personas creen que la vacuna contra la gripe te da gripe. ¿Y qué piensas de eso, Alexandra?Así es, la vacuna contra la gripe no puede darle gripe a su hijo. Ahora, algunos niños pueden presentar dolor en el brazo, fiebre leve o cansancio a medida que su sistema inmunitario responde a la vacuna. Actualmente, la Academia Americana de Pediatría recomienda recibir la vacuna contra la gripe lo antes posible cuando su proveedor se la ofrezca.Mi hijo está sano. ¿Por qué la necesita?Otro mito común es: Mi hijo está sano. ¿Por qué la necesita?Los niños sanos también pueden enfermarse gravemente a causa de la gripe. Y la vacunación evita que las personas sanas transmitan la gripe a personas con sistemas inmunitarios más débiles, como bebés, hermanos, abuelos y otras personas con enfermedades crónicas.¿Por qué no simplemente la tratamos?Otro mito es: ¿Por qué no simplemente la tratamos cuando ocurra?El tratamiento funciona, pero no reemplaza la prevención. La vacuna ayuda a reducir el riesgo incluso antes de que su hijo esté expuesto, y si se infecta, puede presentar un caso de gripe más leve. Incluso un caso leve de gripe puede mantener a su hijo fuera de la escuela durante una semana o más mientras se recupera.Seguridad y efectos secundariosLa vacuna contra la gripe se ha estudiado durante muchos años y se recomienda para niños de 6 meses en adelante en cada temporada de gripe. Los efectos secundarios más comunes son leves, como dolor en el lugar donde se aplicó la inyección, cansancio y fiebre baja. Las reacciones graves son raras.Pregúntele hoy mismo al proveedor que atiende a su hijo qué medicamento y qué dosis puede darle para ayudar con el dolor y la fiebre.Recomendación para las familiasRecomendamos que su hijo reciba la vacuna contra la gripe hoy mismo. Es una de las mejores formas de reducir el riesgo de una enfermedad grave por gripe, días perdidos de escuela, días perdidos de trabajo y visitas al hospital. Si tiene alguna pregunta, por favor pregúntele al proveedor de su hijo.Cierre y recursos adicionalesQueremos agradecerle por escuchar nuestro podcast. Tenemos notas del podcast en nuestra descripción que proporcionan artículos e información basados en evidencia sobre la vacuna contra la gripe. Y si tiene alguna pregunta adicional, nuevamente, por favor comuníquese con su proveedor. Gracias. ReferencesAmerican Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Infectious Diseases. (2025).

Eileen Budd comes from a long line of Scottish storytellers. Her grandfather came home from the war with shrapnel in his legs, took a job driving a tour bus, and out-earned every other driver in Scotland — because he told stories while he drove. Nobody discovered Eileen was legally blind until she was eight, so she learned the world by ear: story by story, told out loud, passed down. In this episode she tells three complete folk tales on air — including the three rules for surviving the Queen of the Fairies — opens her Travelling Folk Museum of donated, two-hundred-year-old objects, and makes the case that the stories of the village, not the castle or the church, are the ones that bring people together. Plus: why we've outsourced our imaginations to our phones, what a story did to a $30 compass on eBay, the folk tale that is secretly about postnatal depression, and how to find the story only you can tell. Your imagination: use it or lose it. How to Tell a Story People Can't Stop Repeating — with Scottish Storyteller Eileen Budd Some stories disappear almost as soon as they're told. Others survive for hundreds of years. They cross villages, families, kitchens, campfires, churches, pubs and generations without ever needing an algorithm to carry them. That is the kind of story Eileen Budd knows how to tell. Eileen comes from a long line of Scottish storytellers, and she learned the world by listening. Nobody discovered she was legally blind until she was eight, so while other children were reading the room visually, Eileen was absorbing voices, details, rhythms and stories. And in this conversation, she reminded me of something I think many of us are losing: storytelling is not the same thing as content. A story asks something of your imagination. It leaves space. It lets you see something that is not physically in front of you. And the best stories become portable. Someone hears them, carries them away, and tells them again. That is what this episode is really about. Eileen tells three complete folk tales on the podcast, including the story of a midwife summoned to the Queen of the Fairies, the rules she must follow to survive, and a changeling story that carries an unexpectedly compassionate understanding of postnatal depression. But we also talk about what happens to imagination when we fill every empty moment with scrolling, why an ordinary $30 compass became worth $1,000 when it had a story attached to it, and why the stories of ordinary people — the stories of the village — may be the ones that connect us most deeply. One of my favorite things Eileen says is that we have started to outsource our imaginations. And I haven't stopped thinking about that. Because imagination requires empty space. Daydreaming. Wondering. Following an image somewhere without immediately needing it to become useful. And if you are an artist, photographer, writer, entrepreneur or simply a person trying to live a more creative life, I think this conversation will make you want some of that space back. Inside the episode We talk about Eileen's grandfather, who returned from war with shrapnel in his legs and became a Scottish tour-bus driver — eventually earning more than the other drivers because he told stories while he drove. Eileen explains the difference between stories of the castle, stories of the church and stories of the village, and why the stories of ordinary people are often the ones that bring us together. She shares why she resisted writing oral stories down for years, what changed her mind, and what can be lost when a living story gets trapped on a page. We talk about daydreaming, imagination and the way constant scrolling can crowd out the inner world. You'll hear the story of a $30 compass whose value changed completely once a story was attached to it, a 200-year-old willow rattle filled with quartz, the full tale of the midwife and the Queen of the Fairies, and Eileen's beautifully simple way of teaching someone how to become a storyteller. And we end with a Scottish origin story about the giants of day and night. If you make anything for a living, I especially want you to listen to the distinction running underneath this whole conversation: People may consume information. But they carry stories.

How will artificial intelligence impact jobs, workforce development, and the future of American manufacturing? In this episode of the Optimistic Outlook, Siemens USA CEO Ann Fairchild sits down with U.S. Senator Ted Budd of North Carolina to discuss the future of work in the age of AI. Building on insights from a recent U.S. Senate hearing focused on artificial intelligence and workforce transformation, they explore how AI is reshaping industries, creating new opportunities for workers, and driving innovation across the U.S. economy. Senator Budd shares why concerns about widespread job displacement are increasingly being replaced by conversations about productivity, workforce augmentation, and the growing demand for AI skills. Together, he and Ann examine the role of industrial AI, workforce training, public-private partnerships, and education in preparing Americans for the jobs of the future. The conversation also explores how AI can help strengthen U.S. manufacturing, accelerate reshoring efforts, improve competitiveness, and support responsible innovation. Rather than replacing people, they argue that AI has the potential to empower workers, enhance human capabilities, and unlock new economic opportunities. Whether you're interested in artificial intelligence, workforce development, manufacturing, economic policy, or the future of jobs, this episode offers an optimistic perspective on how technology can help build a stronger future for American industry and the people who power it. Topics discussed: Artificial intelligence and the future of work AI workforce development and job creation Industrial AI and manufacturing innovation Workforce training and AI skills Reshoring and strengthening U.S. manufacturing Responsible AI adoption Public-private partnerships and economic competitiveness Show Notes: Siemens VP Addresses Congress on Industrial AI: https://www.siemens.com/en-us/company/insights/us-stories/siemens-vp-addresses-congress-on-industrial-ai/

Especial #KillBill: The Whole Bloody Affair Dediquem el programa a la versió definitiva de l'obra més desfermada de Quentin Tarantino: el muntatge que uneix Vol. 1 i Vol. 2 en una sola pel·lícula tal com va ser concebuda originalment. Repassem la gestació del projecte, la complicitat creativa entre Tarantino i Uma Thurman, el càsting amb noms com David Carradine, Lucy Liu, Daryl Hannah, Michael Madsen o Sonny Chiba, i un rodatge tant exigent com llegendari. Comentem què fa especial aquesta versió: la lluita de la Casa de les Fulles Blaves completament en color, material ampliat, un nou ritme narratiu i una experiència diferent per redescobrir la història de Beatrix Kiddo. També analitzem les influències del cinema de kungfu, samurais, western i exploitation dels 70, el curt de Fortnite i les seqüeles que mai van arribar. I, com sempre, recorrem la pel·lícula capítol a capítol: Vernita Green, O-Ren Ishii, Hattori Hanzo, Crazy 88, Pai Mei, Budd, Elle Driver i el cara a cara final amb Bill. Un especial carregat de venjança, estil i amor absolut per Tarantino. Us acompanyen l'Ignasi Arbat i en Jacint Casademont.

Rep. Stephen Ross is wrapping up an incredible political career that began in Burlington, where he served on the City Council, led as Mayor, and eventually was persuaded to run for the NC House. The Alamance County Republican shares how he worked alongside a fellow mayor from another county (and another political party) to deliver results not just for their hometowns, but for North Carolina politics as a whole. But the most powerful moment comes when Rep. Ross reflects on his late mother. After his father died of a stroke while Rep. Ross was still in high school, she found herself rebuilding a family from the ground up after the family business was lost. Her determination didn't just keep the family afloat, it inspired achievement, resilience, and purpose for Rep. Ross and his siblings. It's a moving conversation ahead of Mother's Day weekend. Plus, Skye and Brian break down the week in #ncpol, including a property tax bill on the move, two members of Congress land in hot water, Rep. Budd battles breast cancer, and North Carolina loses a former lawmaker.

In 1927, four year old Billy Gaffney disappeared from his New York City apartment building while playing in the hallway. When questioned, the only other child present gave a chilling response, saying “the boogeyman took him.” Billy was never seen again, and at the time, no one understood what those words truly meant.A year later, a man using the name Frank Howard gained the trust of the Budd family after responding to a job advertisement. Presenting himself as a harmless farmer, he convinced them to let their ten year old daughter, Gracie Budd, accompany him to what he claimed was a birthday gathering. She never returned.Years later, a letter sent to Gracie's mother revealed disturbing details that only the person responsible could have known. The correspondence led authorities to Albert Fish, a man already linked to multiple child disappearances across the country.At trial, Fish confessed to numerous crimes. His insanity defense was rejected, and in 1936 he was executed at Sing Sing Prison. Nearly a century later, the Albert Fish case remains one of the most unsettling chapters in American criminal history.Follow True Crime Recaps for weekly cases that explore the darkest corners of history and the justice system.

I've been speaking with Jenn Budd for years about Border Patrol crimes, impunity and how the agency could be (and should be reformed.) But both Democrats and Republicans have refused to demand oversight and accountability for the highly politicized agency.Border Patrol and its paramilitary culture are now very much in control of the ICE & Border Patrol occupations in various cities in America. We talk about what this means for the investigation of Renee Good's murder in Minneapolis by an ICE agent, and what that means for Americans as these occupations continue. We also talk about the many years of fatal shootings at the southern border, and the fact that not a single agent has been successfully prosecuted for lethal force.We also discuss previous efforts at reform and what can be done to hold the agents accountable for their crimes.You can learn more about Jenn's work in this important documentary “Critical Incident: Death at the Border” which is out now on HBO Max. You can also listen to our 2022 podcast with Jenn about her memoir “Against the Wall: My Journey from Border Patrol Agent to Immigrant Rights Activist” about her time as an agent in the Border Patrol and her transformation into an activist and one of the fiercest critics against the agency.Additional context mentioned in our discussion:How Many People Have Been Shot in ICE Raids?

So many young people from divorced or dysfunctional families assume their story is unique — or worse, that they're destined to repeat the same patterns. But the truth is, family brokenness is far more common than anyone talks about. And God has been dealing with messy family dynamics since the beginning of time.In this episode, Deacon Ryan Budd, who served as Dr. Scott Hahn's research assistant, reveals how the Bible is full of families just as complicated, chaotic, and wounded as ours. He explains why God doesn't simply “fix” things instantly, how healing actually unfolds, and what Scripture shows us about breaking cycles and building something new.We cover:Why broken families are more common than you thinkThe surprising dysfunction hidden in biblical storiesHow God works through pain instead of erasing itDavid's family drama — and what it shows us about redemptionPractical steps to begin healing and avoid repeating the pastIf you've ever feared that your future family is doomed by your past, or you're searching for hope in the mess you come from, this episode is for you.Buy the Book: Salvation Stories: Family, Failure, and God's Saving Work in ScriptureGet the Guide: 5 Tips to Navigate the Holidays in a Broken FamilyWatch the Documentary: KennyWatch the Trailer: Kenny (3:31 min)Get Dakota's FREE Guide, The Biggest Fitness Mistakes to AvoidShownotesQuestion for Joey or our guests?

On the evening of November 30, 1989, Linda Napolitano awoke in her lower Manhattan apartment to find herself unable to move. She felt as though she was in the presence of other individuals, then she began to lift off her bed and was transported, as though by unseen hands, out her bedroom window several floors up, before being abducted into an unidentified aircraft. Linda Napolitano is one of countless people who claim to have been abducted and experimented on by extraterrestrials; however, she is one of very few whose abduction was witnessed by nearly two dozen strangers in one of the busiest cities in the world. According to ufologist Budd Hopkins, Napolitano's abduction has produced irrefutable evidence of extraterrestrial life, but more importantly, he believes Linda's case is proof of a larger and more insidious plan to eradicate humanity altogether.The Manhattan Alien Abduction case is among a small number of heavily researched and well-documented cases of supposed alien abduction in American history, but it is not without its critics. In the years following Linda's abduction, a dramatic story has unfolded, pitting skeptics and believers against one another in surprising and deeply personal ways.Thank you to the Amazing Dave White (of BRING ME THE AXE PODCAST) for research and writing assistance!ReferencesHopkins, Budd. 1996.

Throwbacks are where I re-release old episodes from the archives. So don't worry if you have heard it already, as 'New episodes' will continue to come out on Sundays. To get some of the old episodes heard.~~~Tonight we are joined by the wonderful Debbie Kauble from Indiana, Debbie was the central figure in Budd Hopkins classic book Intruders: The Incredible Visitations at Copley Woods, as well as its 1992 TV miniseries adaptation, Intruders. Budd gave Debbie the pseudonym "Kathie Davis" to protect her and her family. In 1983, Debbie Kauble was a young mom in rural Indiana, and she faced terrifying abductions. Floated from her bed, subjected to alien exams, she endured missing time & trauma. A burned circle in her garden and neighbors' reports of odd lights backed her story. Hypnosis uncovered lifelong experiences, possibly tied to alien experiments.More information on this episode on the podcast website:https://ufochroniclespodcast.com/ep-119-extraordinary-contact/Link to Debbie Kauble:www.debshome.comWant to share your encounter on the show?Email: UFOChronicles@gmail.comOr Fill out Guest Form:https://forms.gle/uGQ8PTVRkcjy4nxS7Podcast Merchandise:https://www.teepublic.com/user/ufo-chronicles-podcastHelp Support UFO CHRONICLES by becoming a Patron:https://patreon.com/UFOChroniclespodcastX: https://twitter.com/UFOchronpodcastThank you for listening!Like share and subscribe it really helps me when people share the show on social media, it means we can reach more people and more witnesses and without your amazing support, it wouldn't be possible.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ufo-chronicles-podcast--3395068/support.
