    Thanks to our Partners, Pico Technology, Autel, and Independent Wrench JobsWatch Full Video EpisodeShow NotesIn this episode, Matt builds on a thought that has been bothering him for a while: the automotive repair industry has done a pretty terrible job defining what we mean by diagnosis, diagnostic, analysis, and even something as simple as a code scan.The spark for the conversation comes from seeing a vehicle owner buy their own scan tool after being told a dealership wanted $190 “to scan codes.” That raises the real question: was the shop selling a code scan... or were they selling a diagnostic process? Because those are not the same thing, and pretending they are creates confusion for customers and devalues the work of actual technical specialists.Matt argues that a diagnosis is the conclusion you arrive at, while a diagnostic is the process used to get there. A code scan might be one piece of that process, but it is not the whole thing. And a good diagnostic process does not always immediately hand you the answer. Sometimes it gives you something better: more precise questions, better direction, and a narrower path to the root cause.That leads into a bigger point about communication, economics, and trust. Auto repair is a classic credence good, where the customer often cannot accurately judge the quality of the service they received. That creates information asymmetry—the shop knows far more than the client does. Which means language matters. Definitions matter. Expectations matter. If the industry wants to separate itself from guesswork, parts-changing, and pseudo-diagnostics, it has to become far more disciplined in how it describes the work being sold.Matt also reflects on confidence, competence, and what actually drives improvement. Sometimes a little lack of confidence—the kind that makes you run one more test, read one more article, attend one more class, or call one more sharp friend—can be a strength rather than a weakness. It can push real learning. But like most things, it cuts both ways.This episode is a call for more precise language, more honest communication, and a stronger defense of the real value behind analysis, testing, and arriving at an actual diagnosis.In This EpisodeWhy a code scan is not the same thing as a diagnosisThe difference between a diagnostic process and a diagnostic resultWhy a good process does not always produce an immediate answerHow testing should often remain at the specialist's discretionWhy rigid test lists can break down from vehicle to vehicleThe danger of selling customers a result instead of a processInformation asymmetry and why auto repair is a credence goodWhy precise language helps distinguish real specialists from guessersThe double-edged sword of confidence in technical workWhy continual learning often comes from knowing how much you do not knowKey TakeawaysThis episode is really about reclaiming the value of professional analysis.A shop can offer a code scan. That is fine. A shop can refuse to offer a code scan and only sell deeper diagnostic work. That is also fine. What matters is being honest and clear about the difference.Customers need better explanations. Shops need better language. And the industry needs to stop using words like diagnosis, diagnostic, and code scan as if they are interchangeable, because they are not.Quotable Moments“Diagnosis isn't the end. Diagnosis is the beginning of practice.”“A diagnosis is something that you arrive at. A diagnostic is a process.”“A very successful process may not lead to the answer right away. It may lead to a better question.”“We have done a horrific job when it comes to definitions or standards.”“The customer cannot differentiate the quality of our services versus another. They have to take our word for it.”“That lack of confidence is what drove me to do one more test.”Sponsor ThanksThanks to:AutelPico TechnologyIndependent Wrench JobsAlso thanks to the Automotive Repair Podcast Network.Contact / Call to ActionWhat do you think?

    This interview is brought to you in partnership with Eisai and is part of the Journey to Diagnosis series.Eisai: https://www.eisai.com/index.htmlJourney to Diagnosis: https://beingpatient.com/journey-to-diagnosis/Andrew Reid was 56 when he was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's after unexplained changes that affected his work, driving, and daily functioning. He lives with a rare form of the disease called Posterior Cortical Atrophy (PCA), which primarily affects visual processing. Before his diagnosis, Andrew built a career in management and leadership as the founder and CEO of Big Fish Interactive, a leadership training firm focused on guiding organizations through positive change. He's also a gold medalist in the European Dragon Boat Championships. Andrew and his wife, Karina, are committed to sharing their story to educate others about early-onset Alzheimer's, reduce stigma, and amplify the voices of young families facing the disease. Andrew has found strength in an improv acting group and has become a passionate advocate for others living with young-onset Alzheimer's.In this conversation with Being Patient's Mark Niu, Andrew and Karina describe the emotional toll of uncertainty and the importance of getting the right diagnosis. They discuss the realities of living with PCA and strategies to make daily life safer and more manageable, from visual cues in the home to finding new forms of connection through humor, community, and creative outlets like improv. Together, they exemplify how resilience and support can help families keep moving forward even as the disease changes everyday life.------If you loved watching this Live Talk, visit our website to find more of our Alzheimer's coverage and subscribe to our newsletter: https://www.beingpatient.com/Follow Being Patient: Twitter: https://twitter.com/Being_Patient_Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beingpatientvoices/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/beingpatientalzheimersLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/being-patientBeing Patient is an editorially independent journalism outlet for news and reporting about brain health, cognitive science, and neurodegenerative diseases.

    BrainStorm wants to hear from you! Send us a text.Host Meryl Comer continues her conversation with Dr. Jason Karlawish, professor of medicine, medical ethics, and neurology at the University of Pennsylvania, about the evolving landscape of Alzheimer's disease. Drawing on his book The Problem with Alzheimer's, Dr. Karlawish explores the promise of early detection, the ethical complexities of disclosing uncertain diagnoses, and why he remains skeptical that an outright cure is on the near horizon — famously comparing it to planning retirement with a lottery ticket. The conversation moves into the deeply human side of the disease, touching on caregiving as a form of "mind support," the role families play in both enabling and delaying diagnosis, and the exciting potential of smartphones and smart home technologies to transform care. Dr. Karlawish shares a candid reflection on what gives him hope and what keeps him up at night. This episode is a thoughtful, unflinching look at a disease that is best understood as a "complex tragedy."Support the show

    If you've been told your diagnosis determines what happens next, this episode will help you understand what actually shapes outcomes, and where your biology may still be more responsive than you've been led to believe.In this episode of Renegade Remission, we explore the difference between a medical label and living, adaptive biology.You'll hear a real survival story from someone who chose to see his diagnosis as information rather than identity — and whose long-term outcome extended well beyond expected statistics. From there, we break down what diagnoses measure, what prognosis models actually predict, and what they cannot account for.We look at how internal terrain - including inflammation, metabolic health, nervous system regulation, immune balance, and environmental load - influences how disease behaves over time. And we explore why two people with the same diagnosis can follow dramatically different trajectories.In this episode, you'll understand:Why a diagnosis describes a current state, not your full adaptive capacityHow internal biology — not labels alone — shapes disease behaviorWhat prognosis statistics are based on, and what variables they cannot captureWhy biology remains dynamic even during serious illnessHow to shift your focus toward factors that meaningfully influence resilienceInstead of feeling defined by a label, you'll begin to see where your energy can be directed more strategically.Listen now to understand what your diagnosis can and cannot predict, and identify one area of your internal environment you can begin supporting this week.DisclaimerThis podcast is for educational purposes only and does not offer medical advice.

    In this meeting of The Late Diagnosis Club, Dr Angela Kingdon welcomes Jenna Goldstein, a late-diagnosed Autistic school psychologist who left the public education system after recognising its incompatibility with neurodiversity-affirming practice.Jenna first recognised her own autism after her three-year-old daughter was identified. As she turned to Autistic voices for understanding, what began as advocacy for her child became a deeper self-recognition. Within months, she self-identified, and years later sought a formal diagnosis from an Autistic evaluator to connect more dots and model an Autistic identity for her children.This is a conversation about human rights, blueprint-building, leaving systems that harm, and crafting lives that actually work for autistic nervous systems.

    Text Dr. Lenz any feedback or questions Should You Accept a Fibromyalgia Diagnosis? Evidence-Based Response to “Don't Accept Fibro” ClaimsDr. Michael Lenz reacts to a naturopath's claim that fibromyalgia is “not an acceptable diagnosis,” acknowledging that patients often feel invisible and that fibromyalgia is diagnosed by symptoms after ruling out other conditions, but arguing this does not make it illegitimate. He explains fibromyalgia as a nociplastic/central sensitization pain syndrome supported by evidence such as amplified pain signaling on functional neuroimaging, disrupted deep sleep, neurotransmitter differences, and overlap with conditions like IBS, chronic fatigue, migraines, and TMJ. He critiques functional-medicine claims that fibro is primarily due to mold toxicity, food sensitivities, adrenal fatigue, leaky gut, or mitochondrial dysfunction, noting limited or debunked evidence and potential harm from chasing costly “root causes.” He outlines evidence-based, multimodal management: restorative sleep, gentle aerobic exercise and pacing, CBT/pain reprocessing and neuroscience education, addressing ADHD/autism/anxiety, and medications such as SNRIs and gabapentinoids.00:00 Why This Reaction01:04 Naturopath Claim Setup02:07 Invisible Illness Explained03:12 What She Gets Right07:31 Why Rejecting Is Harmful07:49 Real Science Of Fibro08:39 Functional Triggers List09:04 Gut Microbiome Claims13:39 Debunking Pseudodiagnoses15:05 Evidence Based Treatment Plan17:46 Should You Accept Diagnosis18:50 Closing Takeaways Support the showWhen I started this podcast and YouTube Channel—and the book that came before it—I had my patients in mind.

    Have you been diagnosed with chronic prostatitis, but rounds of antibiotics like Cipro or Levoquin haven't touched the pain? You aren't alone. Statistics show that up to 95% of prostatitis cases are non-bacterial, meaning the root cause isn't an infection it's pelvic floor dysfunction.In this episode, Dr. Geo sits down with Dr. Adam Gvili, a leading male pelvic floor specialist and founder of Pelvis NYC. Dr. Gvili shares his personal six-year journey through pelvic pain and explains why the traditional medical model often fails men suffering from pelvic tension, urinary frequency, and sexual symptoms.Whether you are dealing with "Hard Flaccid," "Headache in the Pelvis," or chronic discomfort, this conversation provides a roadmap for what real healing looks like through nervous system retraining and specialized physical therapy.In This Episode, You'll Discover:The Prostatitis Myth: Why the diagnosis is often a "label of exclusion" when doctors can't find anything else.The 95% Rule: Why most pelvic pain is musculoskeletal, not bacterial.The Danger of "Floxing": Why you should be cautious of fluoroquinolone antibiotics (Cipro/Levoquin).Hypertonicity Explained: How "tight asses" and chronic guarding lead to urinary and sexual dysfunction.The Hard Flaccid Phenomenon: What is happening to the fascia and blood flow of the penis under chronic stress.Beyond Kegels: Why strengthening isn't always the answer—and why learning to relax the pelvic floor is the key to recovery.Episode Timestamps:00:00 Is Prostatitis even a real diagnosis?02:45 Dr. Gvili's 6year personal battle with pelvic dysfunction.06:30 Why 95-98% of cases show an absence of bacteria.08:10 The danger of missing a true bacterial infection.10:45 How "Prostatitis" labels mislead men over 50.13:00 Case Study: When a "prostate" issue was actually a urinary stricture.20:30 The Black Box warning: Cipro, Levoquin, and tendon health.26:45 What a "Hypertonic" pelvic floor actually feels like.29:00 The difference between a Urologist's DRE and a Pelvic PT exam.38:30 Can you really isolate pelvic muscles?43:00 Calming the nervous system: How to unlearn the pain response.50:15 "Hard Flaccid" and the role of Buck's Fascia in erections.52:00 Where to find Dr. Gvili and Pelvis NYC.

    In this episode of The Healers Cafe Manon speaks with Dayna Wylder, an energy healing practitioner and author, discusses her journey from being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) to reconnecting with her body and innate healing capacity. For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/dayna-wilder     Highlights from today's episode include:  Gratitude as medicine: She chose to be "grateful before there was anything to be grateful for," using gratitude and mindset as active healing tools. Frequency and choice: We are "antennas to the field," and what we broadcast—fear or love—shapes our health, relationships, and reality. Refusing limiting narratives: You chose to step away from fear-based MS support groups and not identify with a doom-and-gloom prognosis, protecting your mindset and healing path.   ABOUT DAYNA WYLDER: Dayna Wylder is an energy healing practitioner, author, and guide devoted to helping people reconnect with their bodies and rediscover their innate capacity for healing. After years of living in a state of disconnection shaped by trauma, chronic stress, and nervous system dysregulation, she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis — a moment that became not an ending, but an awakening. Unwilling to accept a life defined solely by symptoms or limitations, she began a deep exploration into the mind–body connection, subtle energy, and ancient healing systems. Through this journey, she discovered the profound wisdom of the five koshas — the layers of the human experience described in yogic philosophy — and began to understand that true healing must occur not just in the physical body, but across the energetic, emotional, mental, and spiritual dimensions of being. Her work now blends modern neuroscience, frequency and sound healing, somatic awareness, and biofield tuning with Eastern and Western wisdom traditions. She draws inspiration from pioneers in the fields of longevity, nervous system regulation, and consciousness studies, while grounding her approach in lived experience, intuition, and compassion. Dayna is the author of an upcoming book - Unlearn Dis-ease Relearn Well-being - that shares both her deeply personal story and the practical, integrative tools she used to change her relationship with her body and her diagnosis. Her message is not about "fixing" what is broken, but about restoring communication between the body, mind, and soul. Through private sessions, group sound baths, healing circles, and online teachings, she empowers others to shift from fear into curiosity, from resistance into listening, and from survival into wholeness. Her work is an invitation: to soften, to reconnect, and to awaken the healer within. Core purpose/passion: I am here to offer hope and shift what people believe is possible. My work moves beyond treating illness and into restoring alignment between body, mind, and spirit. Through energy medicine, sound, and conscious living, I support those who feel sick or disconnected in reconnecting with their natural intelligence. Aligned living then becomes the path not just to healing, but to preventing future suffering and expanding human potential. This is not about fixing what's broken — it's about remembering what has always been whole.

    Dr. Lisa Sanders on Diagnosis, Cognitive Bias, and Making Time to ListenChristine interviews Dr. Lisa Sanders, Yale School of Medicine professor and Medical Director of Yale's Long COVID Multidisciplinary Care Center, known for the New York Times “Diagnosis” column and consulting on House. Sanders describes switching from Emmy-winning CBS News producer to physician after seeing a sports medicine doctor perform CPR and save a drowning woman, and realizing she wanted to save lives. She discusses avoiding diagnostic cognitive bias by staying aware you can be wrong, keeping a differential diagnosis, and “trust but verify,” sharing a case where she accepted a patient's self-reported POTS diagnosis and later found hyperthyroidism. Sanders argues diagnostic errors often stem from rushed visits and urges physicians to demand more time, noting she secured hour-long new-patient visits and 30-minute follow-ups. She addresses patients not being believed, especially with post-infectious syndromes like long COVID, POTS, MECFS, and fatigue, and advises support for non-linear career paths.00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro01:00 From TV News to Medicine01:31 The CPR Moment That Changed Everything03:42 Fighting Diagnostic Bias04:45 Trust but Verify POTS Mix Up06:49 Reclaiming Time With Patients10:45 Why Patients Aren't Believed12:11 Fatigue and Post Infectious Syndromes13:45 Advice for Nonlinear Careers14:43 Final Thoughts and Farewell

    What does the rise of AI mean for technical programs? Surprisingly, it's not a new concept to CTE fields. It is embedded in robotics, automation, diagnostics, and data modeling across modern manufacturing facilities today.In this episode of The TechEd Podcast, Matt Kirchner sits down with Dr. Andrew Neuendorf, Associate Dean of Manufacturing, Engineering, Trades, and Transportation at Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC), to explore what applied AI actually means inside CTE programs and why education must move beyond generative AI.With a background in English and the humanities, Andrew offers a rare perspective on how artificial intelligence is perceived differently across academic disciplines. From robotics labs to industrial technician programs, he explains where AI has already been embedded for years, where disruption is coming next, and how community colleges can respond with clarity rather than panic.From design software disruption to AI-assisted troubleshooting and entry-level data modeling skills, this conversation will help technical educators think about applied artificial intelligence in their programs.In this episode:Why robotics and automation programs have been teaching AI longer than they realizeThe hidden risk inside CAD and design-heavy technical pathwaysHow students are using AI to troubleshoot equipment faster than faculty expectWhy the “trades are safe from AI” narrative may be dangerously simplisticWhy competency-based education might be a better model in this AI-driven world3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. Applied AI has already been embedded in CTE for years. Robotics vision systems, PLC-driven automation, driver-assist sensors, and predictive maintenance models have quietly trained students in machine intelligence long before generative AI dominated headlines. The difference today is scale and accessibility, not the existence of AI itself.2. The future disruption isn't blue collar versus white collar — it's discipline by discipline. Andrew argues that assuming the trades are immune to AI disruption is a strategic mistake, particularly in design-heavy roles like CAD and digital modeling. Education must evaluate AI's impact at the skill level rather than rely on outdated workforce categories.3. Students may lead the applied AI shift inside technical programs. From uploading robot manuals into NotebookLM to accelerating troubleshooting in automation labs, students are modeling AI-assisted problem solving in real time. Institutions that recognize this and structure learning around it will move faster than those focused solely on policing its use.Resources in this Episode:Connect with Andrew on LinkedInOther resources:"Something Big is Happening" by Matt SchumerJensen Huang (NVIDIA) CES KeynoteSix Days in China: The Speed, Scale and Strategy Outpacing U.S. Innovation - Todd Wanek, CEO of Ashley FurnitureTry Google's NotWe want to hear from you!

    Occlusion cases stall when dentists focus only on how the teeth fit, instead of why the bite doesn't fit in the first place. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt brings back Dr. Jim McKee to explain the #1 thing dentists get wrong about occlusion—and why it's not the teeth. You'll learn how to redefine occlusion beyond tooth contacts, how disc displacement changes the bite, why many “malocclusions” should be considered joint-driven until proven otherwise, and how better diagnosis can create a restorative diagnostic practice model that attracts the right patients. listen to Episode 1017 of The Best Practices Show!Main TakeawaysOcclusion must be defined as both how the teeth fit together and how the joints fit together, because joint position drives tooth position.Many cases that stall in treatment planning stall because the dentist doesn't know how to manage occlusion and TMD variables.Clicking and popping joints are most often ligament tears that create a disc displacement, not “stretching” that resolves on its own.Instead of asking how to remove a posterior interference, the better question is why the interference exists in the first place.Class II malocclusions are often related to joint conditions, and the disc-condyle relationship can explain why the mandible isn't forward enough.If you wait for TMJ pain to appear, you are often late, because many adult TMD presentations started during growth years.Diagnosis requires appropriate imaging, and evaluating only hard tissue can miss the disc-condyle interface that drives growth and occlusal change.Snippets:00:00 Podcast Welcome01:10 Meet Dr Jim McKee02:25 Young Dentist Challenges04:17 Why Occlusion Stalls Cases07:02 Redefining Occlusion08:26 Class Two Joint Clues11:34 Disc Displacement Basics13:25 Injury Causes Clicking14:47 Gasket Analogy Explained17:39 Posterior Interference Rethink21:00 Reading Patient Red Flags22:53 Growth Airway MRI Debate26:16 Supporting Orthodontists Better27:21 Malocclusion Is Joint Driven28:02 Prevalence And Planting Seeds30:29 Diagnostic Records Practice Model31:50 Fees And Low Stress Workflow33:15 Rethinking Orofacial Pain36:40 Bruxism And Sympathetic Drive38:50 Patients Are Not Crazy40:01 Imaging Before Appliances41:37 TMD As Practice Growth Engine43:19 Referrals And Study Clubs44:33 Chicago Study Club And Courses47:52 Wrap Up And ResourcesGuest Bio/Guest Resource:Dr. Jim McKee is a restorative dentist and educator focused on occlusion, TMD, and restorative diagnosis.

    This inaugural episode of the CardioNerds Pulmonary Embolism (PE) Series explores the evolution of acute PE care. Dr. Ibrahim Zahid, Dr. Dinu Balanescu, and Dr. Billy Joe Mullinax join guest expert Dr. Kenneth Rosenfield to discuss the shifting landscape of PE management. Pulmonary embolism (PE) remains a leading cause of cardiovascular mortality and a frequent diagnostic challenge, often masquerading as myocardial infarction or a benign illness. Over the past decade, PE care has evolved from anticoagulation-only strategies to nuanced, risk-stratified, multidisciplinary management. Modern approaches integrate hemodynamics, biomarkers, and advanced imaging to guide therapy, including catheter-directed interventions and large-bore thrombectomy. The Pulmonary Embolism Response Team (PERT) model addresses historical gaps by coordinating rapid, multispecialty decision-making and standardizing care pathways. The PERT Consortium further advances PE care through education, research, and the world's largest PE registry, while fostering leadership and research opportunities for trainees. Despite advances, long-term outcomes and post-PE syndromes remain important areas for future investigation. Audio editing by CardioNerds Academy intern, student doctor, Pace Wetstein.

Pearls PE is a “master masquerader”—maintain suspicion for atypical presentations like myocardial infarction, heart failure, flu, or anxiety. Multidisciplinary management mediated through pulmonary embolism response teams improves outcomes and standardizes care. Risk stratification integrates hemodynamics, biomarkers, and imaging. Advanced therapies have expanded beyond anticoagulation. Long‑term follow‑up and post‑PE syndrome need more research. Notes Notes: Notes drafted by Dr. Ibrahim Zahid. 1. How has the clinical approach to PE changed over the past decade? PE is the third leading cause of cardiovascular death and historically under‑recognized. Symptoms mimic MI, HF, asthma, syncope, and more.PE is a silent killer, and it should be recognized more as a cause of spontaneous cardiac arrest. Where life threatening disease like stroke which is owned by neurological specialists and MI is primarily managed by cardiac specialists, PE is an entity without a professional home. The PERT Consortium brings the specialties together for PE care. 2. Ten years ago, a 58-year-old patient with a large bilateral PE, RV dilation, and positive biomarkers might have been managed with anticoagulation and close observation alone. Today, with evolving—but still uneven—data on advanced therapies, PE care feels far more nuanced and highly dependent on where you practice. What are the major gaps in traditional PE management that clinicians should recognize, and what care pathways should they be aware of across different hospital systems? Care has shifted from anticoagulation‑only to multidisciplinary approaches like catheter directed thrombectomy. Risk‑based pathways and the use of CT angiogram has improved early recognition. Risk stratification tools must be used as tools for early recognition of intermediate risk PE. Untreated PE leads to chronic complications like chronic thromboembolic disease and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, which requires long term clinic follow up. 3. What is the role of risk stratification tools such as PeSI, sPeSI scores, cardiac biomarkers, and imaging findings in PE, and how do they guide treatment decisions in real world practice? Integrate vitals (blood pressure and heart rate), biomarkers (troponin, pro-BNP), RV/LV ratio assessment, acid‑base status, and scores. Tools include PESI, sPESI, BOVA, HESTIA, FAST, Geneva, NEWS, shock index. Vitals, lactate, acid-base status, and tools like NEWS or shock index track clinical evolution. PESI/sPESI estimate 30-day mortality and help identify low-risk patients who may be candidates for early discharge or outpatient therapy. Clinical judgment matters—scores don't fully capture clot burden, trajectory, or bleeding risk. 4. How was the pulmonary embolism response team created, and since its creation, what evidence or outcome data became available to support the PERT model? Originated after a sentinel case at MGH: A young, pregnant woman in her 30s, who collapsed at home, underwent thrombectomy, and had to be on ECMO for a few days. The case brought cardiology, cardiac surgeons and critical care physicians together for planning and improvement in her health, which was rewarding. Thereby, it was decided to bring specialties involved in PE care together to create a response team. The name of the team, Pulmonary Embolism Response Team (PERT), was coined by Richard Channick in the first meeting. Posters were set up all over the hospital to call a centralized line when an acute PE is recognized A meeting was held to present the concept of putting together a consortium, with development of action items and a PERT database. Enabled rapid multidisciplinary input using early teleconferencing tools. 5. Given concerns about having too many ‘cooks in the kitchen' during the initial PE call—especially with rotating teams—how can institutions reconcile workflow complexity with standardized pathways in a way that meaningfully supports and justifies the added burden on frontline clinicians? Every hospital's PERT is different, catering to their needs and workflow At least two disciplines are needed to make a PERTData is currently being collected to guide further on how the workflow can be standardized Most importantly, the team brings in resources that were not available prior to PERT formation. 6. What are the main goals of the PERT consortium, and how does it support clinicians and institutions involved? To improve care and improve outcomes for patients with PE Expand education, refine algorithms, standardize care with Centers of Excellence. Maintain the largest PE registry for research and outcomes improvement. 7. Beyond global networking, shared learning from successful systems, and the pathway toward Center of Excellence designation, what additional benefits can clinicians and health systems gain by participating in the PERT Consortium? The ability to learn from other systems, the ability to share experiences. Allow people to develop their professional careers like leadership experience, becoming a member of the trainee council Initiate projects and receive funding for your ideas 8. For trainees interested in pulmonary embolism care, how can a trainee be a champion at their institution? Does PERT provide assistance and how can they really contribute meaningfully even before becoming a fellow/attending? Medical students and residents interested in PE should reach out to the consortium and the consortium will hook you up with the correct mentors who can nurture you along. Listen to the podcasts. Participate with your local PERT team PERT wants involvement of people who are social media savvy to help spread the word on PE. Top three take-away points from this episode Acute PE care has advanced and multiple treatment modalities for acute PE including catheter directed therapy, large bore thrombectomy, are becoming standard of care. Multidisciplinary models like PERT improve coordination and outcomes.

    When a doctor hands your child a diagnosis, it can be a relief - finally, an explanation for their behavior! But sociologist Dr. Allan Horwitz has spent decades studying how psychiatric diagnoses are made, and what he's found raises serious questions about how much weight that label should carry. In this episode, Dr. Horwitz walks through how the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) - the manual that defines every mental health diagnosis - was built less on scientific research than on professional politics, institutional pressure, and the practical needs of insurance companies.  He traces how depression went from a diagnosis given to a small fraction of the population to one of the most common diagnoses in the world, and explains exactly what happened to reliability when the DSM-5 was tested in real clinical conditions.  He also looks at how the same behaviors get labeled very differently depending on a child's age, race, class, and cultural background - and why that matters for every parent trying to figure out whether a diagnosis is actually helping their child. This episode won't tell you to reject diagnosis outright. But it will give you the critical knowledge to ask better questions when a label is offered for your child. Questions This Episode Will Answer What is the DSM and why does it matter for my child?  The DSM is the manual psychiatrists and psychologists use to diagnose every mental health condition. It determines what insurance will cover, what services your child can access, and what label follows them through school and into treatment. Who created the DSM and who controls it?  The American Psychiatric Association publishes the DSM, but its diagnostic criteria were largely shaped by a small group of people - predominantly white men with ties to pharmaceutical companies - whose process looked more like sausage-making than science. Why is DSM-5 criticized by researchers?  Field trials for DSM-5 showed reliability had actually declined from earlier editions. For some of the most common diagnoses, including major depression and generalized anxiety, agreement between clinicians was barely better than chance. Is a psychiatric diagnosis actually reliable?  Reliability means two different clinicians would give the same patient the same diagnosis. Research on the DSM-5 shows this is far less consistent than most parents assume - and a reliable diagnosis still isn't necessarily a correct one. Are children being overdiagnosed with mental health conditions?  Research shows that the youngest children in a classroom are significantly more likely to receive a psychiatric diagnosis than their older classmates, especially for ADHD - suggesting that what's being measured is developmental maturity, not a mental disorder. Does the DSM apply equally to children from different cultural backgrounds?  The DSM was built on a Euro-centric framework, and critics argue it pathologizes behaviors that are normal or valued in many Global Majority cultures. This has real consequences for how children from different backgrounds get diagnosed and treated. Why do mental health diagnoses focus on the individual instead of their circumstances?  The DSM is deliberately designed to identify disorders within a person rather than look at the conditions around them. It makes sense that a person going through a relationship breakup might feel sad, angry, and/or uncertain about the future.  That doesn't mean they're ‘depressed.'  Dr. Horwitz explains what that choice costs - and who pays the most. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why diagnosis serves the psychiatric profession and the insurance system in ways that don't always help the person being diagnosedHow the shift from psychoanalysis to the DSM-3 in 1980 dramatically expanded who could be diagnosed with depression - and why that shift was driven by professional rivalry, not new scienceWhat reliability and validity actually mean in psychiatric diagnosis, and why the numbers from DSM-5 field trials alarmed even people inside the systemHow the people who built the DSM criteria handled disagreements - and why the process Dr. Horwitz describes is so different from what most parents imagineWhy a child's birthdate relative to their classmates can predict their likelihood of receiving a psychiatric diagnosisHow socioeconomic status shapes not just whether a child gets diagnosed, but when they take their medication and whyWhat the removal of the bereavement exclusion in DSM-5 tells us about the direction the system is headingWhy the same behaviors that get a child diagnosed with ADHD in the US might get that child's family into therapy in the UK insteadWhat Dr. Horwitz thinks would actually make a difference for children's mental health - and why the most effective interventions are rarely the ones being offered Your Triggers Aren't a Diagnosis. But They're Worth Understanding. This episode makes the case that the mental health system focuses on only what's happening inside a person instead of looking at the broader circumstances around them - mostly to sell us more drugs.  In reality, our struggles are a combination of the challenges we've experienced in the past (and how we've learned to handle them), and our situation today.  We have to see both pieces to make sense of where we've been, and learn new tools for what's happening now. When your child's behavior sends you into a reaction you regret later, a diagnosis or prescription may not help as much as understanding what's underneath that reaction and where it came from.  That's exactly what the Taming Your Triggers workshop is built to help you do. In 10 weeks, you'll learn why you react the way you do, how to meet your own needs so you have more capacity for your kids, and how to respond from your values instead of your history.

Dr. Allan Horwitz explains that diagnoses maintain psychiatry's legitimacy and prestige as a medical profession, regardless of the knowledge behind each diagnosis. 05:10 Patients now often expect specific diagnoses before treatment even begins. 14:27 People experiencing sadness from job loss or relationship endings can benefit from medication, but to get prescriptions, you need a diagnosis of a disorder, even when the response is completely expectable given the circumstances. 15:39 The DSM locates suffering within individuals rather than examining broader social circumstances. 19:00 Wrapping up. 21:25 An open invitation to join the Parenting Membership.

    Multiple sclerosis resilience isn't about pretending everything is fine. It's about choosing strength when your body forces change.In this episode of Men Talking Mindfulness, Jim shares how a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis shattered his identity — and rebuilt it stronger. Multiple sclerosis resilience became the framework that helped him drop ego, reject victim mentality, and push his physical and mental limits in ways he never imagined.Instead of collapsing into “why me,” Jim chose discipline. Instead of clinging to status or past success, he chose growth. This conversation explores how multiple sclerosis resilience is forged through ownership, endurance training, and a refusal to let suffering define you.You'll hear:• How ego amplifies suffering• Why victim mentality quietly destroys potential• The difference between pain and identity• How endurance challenges reveal hidden strength• Why pushing limits develops clarity and purpose• How chronic illness can deepen self-understandingThis episode is for the man who feels knocked down — by illness, career, or circumstance — and wants to rebuild without self-pity.Learn more from Jim Perona:• Website: https://www.jimperona.com/ • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jimperonaofficial/ • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jimperonaofficial/ • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jimperonaofficial/ • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@jimperonaofficial Subscribe to Your Thursday Three Things — practical focus tools connected to each week's episode.Free and deep-dive versions available:https://newsletter.focusnowtraining.comOr text MTM to 33777 and we'll send the link straight to you.Join the Men Talking Mindfulness team at the 2026 Spartan Race and take mindfulness into real-world challenge.

    In part two of this series, Dr. Justin Abbatemarco, Dr. Marjo S. van der Knaap, and Romy J. van Voorst discuss the patient management card and how patients should use it.  Show citation: and Clinical Management of Vanishing White Matter. Neurology. 2025;105(11):e214320. doi:10.1212/WNL.0000000000214320  Show transcript:  Dr. Justin Abbatemarco: Hello and welcome back. This is Justin Abbatemarco here with Romy J. van Voorst and Dr. Marjo S. van der Knaap. After discussing her article, Published Neurology Consensus Base Expert Recommendation for Diagnosis and Clinical Management of Vanishing White Matter Disease. Romy, I really want to talk with you about the patient management card. What inspired you to create that in this publication, and how should patients use that? Romy J. van Voorst:  So what the main motivation was of the study was actually a previous study that we did before. And in this study, we looked at the impact of any short matter on unaffected family members. And we found out that actually many family members encountered clinicians that were unfamiliar with its disease or disease-specific management. And during interviews, we saw that there was an urgent need for moral harmonization of care and also symptom management because families felt like they are left alone with just their child and no guidance on how to go further. And we wrote these recommendations to help families better understand the diagnostic and care process so they can also participate in informed decision-making. So they can understand what kind of preventive measures they can take and whether or not this interferes, for example, with quality of life goals. So there are a lot of different recommendations families can take home with. Dr. Justin Abbatemarco:  Marjo, anything else you want to add there? Dr. Marjo S. van der Knaap:  Yeah, I think the management card also helps because they have a physical card when they go to consultation or to emergency room that they can hand over. It's an official publication. It's developed by the Finishing WebMetter Expert Consortium in combination with other experts in combination with patient advocates and representatives. And so it's really a sort of a guidance that cannot be denied. So it has some authority to it. Dr. Justin Abbatemarco:  But I think it's a theme that applies to many neurological diseases, and addressing that. You do it really practically. And I agree, giving something more tangible for patients to present, especially to non-neurologists to help them give some guidance. It's an idea that we need to think about in clinic all the time on how we're interacting and supporting caregivers and when they're interfacing with the medical community at large. So I love what you guys have done here and to make us think about this more broadly. Thanks again for all your time and your work on this topic. Dr. Marjo S. van der Knaap:  Thank you for having us.
