Keen On Democracy
Episode 2480: Dr Andy Lazris on how Big Pharma controls the American healthcare system

Keen On Democracy

This isn't exactly the radical message one would expect from a primary physician from Columbia, Maryland. But according to Dr Andy Lazris, co-author of A Return to Healing, Big Pharma wields an iron grip on the American healthcare system. And it's only by aggressively challenging the control of the pharmaceutical industry, Lazris says, that we can begin to reform the system. Lazris discusses how pharmaceutical companies heavily influence healthcare through funding medical organizations, research, and federal agencies like the CDC and FDA. He advocates for a return to patient-centered medicine with longer appointment times and less emphasis on unnecessary tests and medications. He suggests three core reforms: removing pharmaceutical influence from federal agencies, changing Medicare reimbursement to favor primary care over procedures, and increasing Medicare funding for primary care residency programs. Interestingly, Lazris views RFK Jr.'s health agency cuts as chaotic, but potentially beneficial.Five Key Takeaways from Andy Lazris's Interview* Pharmaceutical Industry Influence: The pharmaceutical industry has excessive influence over healthcare, including federal agencies (CDC, FDA), medical associations, academic research, and treatment protocols, prioritizing profit over patient wellbeing.* Primary Care Crisis: Primary care physicians are a "dying breed" despite their importance, as they face burnout from administrative burdens, quality metrics, protocol constraints, and insufficient time with patients.* Protocol-Driven Medicine: Doctors are increasingly forced to follow standardized protocols and quality indicators rather than providing individualized care, with financial penalties for not adhering to these guidelines.* Patient-Centered Reform: Lazris advocates for a return to healing through longer patient visits (40 minutes), focusing on lifestyle factors like diet and exercise (duh), and reducing unnecessary testing and medication.* Actionable Reforms: Lazris proposes three immediate reforms: eliminating pharmaceutical influence in federal agencies, restructuring Medicare reimbursement to favor primary care over procedures, and increasing Medicare funding for primary care residency programs.Dr. Andy Lazris is a physician Board Certified in Internal Medicine. He has practiced both primary care Internal Medicine and Geriatrics for the past 30 years. In addition to Internal Medicine board certification, he has a Certified Medical Director (CMD) degree and is the director of several long term care facilities in Howard County and beyond. He also is a certified wound specialist physician with a CWSP degree. Dr. Lazris is a Magna Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Brown University. He received a full merit scholarship to Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York and completed his Internal Medicine training at University of Virginia Hospital. In 2021 and 2022 Dr. Lazris received the prestigious Top-Doc recognition in Geriatrics for the Baltimore region. In 2022 he was named one of America's most honored doctors. He has received numerous accolades and awards for his practice of medicine, his writing, and his work to reform health care.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting the daily KEEN ON show, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy interview series. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE.

Dean's Chat host, Dr. Jeffrey Jensen, is joined by Leland Jaffe, DPM, FACFAS, CWSP who currently is an Associate Professor and Associate Dean at the Dr. William M. Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine at Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine. (SCPM) Dr. Jaffe has been a faculty member at the SCPM since 2015 after practicing in the St. Louis area after completing his residency.  Dr. Jaffe is also the Director of Social Media and has an educational website - lelandjaffedpm.com - for students and practitioners alike. Dr. Jaffe did his undergraduate studies at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and attended podiatric medical school at the William M. Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine. Dr. Jaffe completed his residency at the North Chicago VA and Ascension St. Joseph's Hospital in Chicago. Dr. Jaffe is board-certified by the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery.  In the episode, Dr. Jaffe discusses the benefits of virtual settings, such as Zoom, for various educational activities. While he acknowledges the challenges of engaging and challenging students in a virtual environment, he emphasizes the advantages of individualized support. For instance, virtual settings are particularly useful for one-on-one tutoring and exam preparation, allowing students to receive personalized assistance when studying or reviewing material.  Additionally, Dr. Jaffe highlights the effectiveness of Zoom in certain courses on campus, specifically for activities like annotating and analyzing medical images such as X-rays and MRIs. By utilizing individual screens, participants can mark up the images and collaborate more efficiently compared to traditional methods involving a shared projector. Overall, Dr. Jaffe recognizes the value of virtual settings in facilitating educational activities that require individual attention or collaborative analysis of visual materials. In the episode, Dr. Jaffe and Dr. Jensen discuss the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of virtual interviews in student recruitment. They note that virtual interviews have become a valuable alternative to in-person interviews, saving time and money. This benefits both prospective students and universities.  Prospective students no longer need to bear the burden of expensive travel expenses, while universities can conduct interviews more efficiently without requiring physical presence. Dr. Jensen mentions that while they encourage students to visit in person to gain a better understanding of the profession and the school, virtual interviews still play a crucial role in the recruitment process. Overall, virtual interviews are seen as a helpful tool in student recruitment, providing convenience and cost savings.   www.lelandjaffedpm.com https://explorepodmed.org/ Dean's Chat Website Dean's Chat Episodes Dean's Chat Blog Why Podiatric Medicine?  Become a Podiatric Physician

The Chinese were prepared, but their antiquated defences were no match for the British. Their static canons and armada of war junks were destroyed in just five and a half hours. Over the next two years the British navy travelled up the coast towards Shanghai. Chinese troops, many of whom were addicted to opium, were overwhelmed at every stage. The British bombardments resulted in a considerable loss of life - between 20,000 and 25,000 Chinese were killed. Britain lost just 69 men.           Heroin Diacetylmorphine was first synthesized in 1874 by C. R. Alder Wright, an English chemist working at St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in London. He had been experimenting with combining morphine with various acids. He boiled anhydrous morphine alkaloid with acetic anhydride for several hours and produced a more potent, acetylated form of morphine, now called diacetylmorphine or morphine diacetate. The compound was sent to F. M. Pierce of Owens College in Manchester for analysis. Pierce told Wright: Wright's invention did not lead to any further developments, and diacetylmorphine became popular only after it was independently re-synthesized 23 years later by another chemist,Felix Hoffmann.
