Podcasts about family doctor

Rural America has lost more than 10% of its family physicians since 2017, according to a report published late last year. What does that mean for patients and communities? On today's episode, host J. Carlisle Larsen speaks with Colleen Fogarty, M.D., the William Rocktaschel Professor and Chair of the Department of Family Medicine at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry and lead author of the national study, about what the data reveals — and what happens when even one doctor leaves town. Next week, we listen to the second part of their conversation where they look at the forces driving this decline. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ever wonder what really happens behind the scenes in your family doctor's practice? In this raw, unfiltered episode, I open up about the everyday realities of primary care medicine that patients rarely get to see.The morning starts in my surgical clinic with a challenging decision – accommodate an anxious young patient by performing procedures on both ingrown toenails instead of one, knowing it will delay every appointment afterward. This everyday scenario reveals a fundamental difference between medicine and other professions. While lawyers and accountants end appointments precisely on time, doctors constantly stretch themselves thin because we know the alternative for patients is often waiting months for the next available slot.The most heartbreaking revelation comes when reviewing test results and seeing x-ray appointments scheduled for July 2026 – fifteen months away for patients with painful, potentially serious conditions. This isn't the fault of radiologists or technicians but reflects a healthcare system where resources haven't kept pace with demand. The frustration compounds when seeing patients repeatedly miss appointments without notice, wasting precious slots while others desperately wait for care.These challenges explain why I've pivoted increasingly toward preventative medicine. So many conditions I treat daily – from vitamin deficiencies to chronic diseases – could be prevented or minimized through lifestyle interventions. When healthcare resources are this stretched, prevention becomes not just personal health insurance but a civic responsibility.Next time you're frustrated by a delay in your doctor's office, remember there's likely someone before you who needed extra time, just as you might someday. We're all stakeholders in this shared healthcare system.

On the phone-in: Lawyer Jessica Lyle from Touchstone Legal gives advice to listeners on wills and estate planning. And off the top of the show, we speak with Dr. Irina Ghenea. She has signed an open letter along with more than 160 other health professionals, proposing a ban on the use of processed meats at hospitals and schools.

A stronger primary care relationship can be the difference between constant crisis and steady health. That's the throughline of our conversation with Dr. Detwiler, the incoming Director of Osteopathic Medicine at the CMG Lynchburg Family Medicine Residency. Dr. Detwiler brings rural roots, 25 years of family practice and a clear mission, to train physicians who treat mind, body and spirit while delivering measurable results for communities that need care the most.We dig into what actually sets osteopathic medicine apart. It's not a split from modern medicine. DOs are fully trained in the same diagnostics, procedures and specialties as MDs. The distinction is a disciplined focus on human connection, structure and function and the body's capacity to heal with proper support. That lens changes the clinic room. Conversations include stress, sleep, work, beliefs and budget, because those factors drive adherence and outcomes. We also clear up misconceptions about OMT. Osteopathic manipulative treatment is a practical, hands-on tool for musculoskeletal issues, designed to complement medications and therapy, not replace them. At LFMR, we're building a curriculum that helps residents provide OMT efficiently within standard visits.There's a bigger system story too. Healthcare is shifting toward value-based care, where metrics like blood pressure control, A1C levels, and vaccination rates matter. LFMR's team-based model with residents, faculty, imaging, lab, OB care and social work under one roof makes it easier to close loops and lift those numbers. And the pipeline is real. By partnering with LUCOM and integrating trainees with local surgeons, hospitalists and specialists, we're creating the relationships that encourage physicians to stay at Centra for their care. That means more access, shorter waits and care that feels personal and effective.We're also launching an OMT clinic at LFMR for patients seeking targeted help with back and musculoskeletal pain from an osteopathic perspective. If you've struggled to find a primary care provider who listens and coordinates, we'd love to meet you. Subscribe, share this episode with someone who needs a steady healthcare home, and leave a review to help more people discover whole-person primary care in Lynchburg.For more content from Centra Health check us out on the following channels.YouTubeFacebookInstagramTwitter

Your stories in the wake of the Auditor General's report suggesting the online service aimed at connecting you to a doctor takes too long. Our guest is Dr. Tara Kiran, a family doctor and research scientist at St. Michael's Hospital and we hear from Jess Rogers, CEO of the Association of Family Health Teams of Ontario.

The Quebec government is locked in a heated dispute with doctors over its new law that changes how doctors are paid and how they take on patients. The province says the goal is to improve access to care, but doctors say it will do the opposite. So how do we make sure people can see a doctor when they need one?

From walk-ins to ER lines, millions of Canadians are navigating life without primary care. PEI is feeling it most — with more than one in four residents still waiting for a doctor, the lowest access rate in the country. A new medical school may help, but burnout is rising and Canada needs 23,000 more family doctors to close the gap. Our question: How are you coping without a family doctor, and what impact has it had on your health?

Family Doctor 32-xx-xx 05 Once to Every Boy

Attracting a family doctor to work in a community is challenging, with fewer physicians choosing family medicine. That's why Cheryl Gnyp, the recruiter for Castlegar, B.C., needs to stand out. She uses the board game Operation and specialized coffee as part of her 10-minute sales pitch to potential recruits at conferences. It can take years before a doctor starts working in the community, but she's in it for the long haul.

Guest: Dr. David Barber, Chair OMA's General and Family Practice Two million people in Ontario do not have access to a family physician, and that number is expected to more than double by 2026. At the same time, many doctors are stepping away from comprehensive care, citing burnout, bureaucracy, and financial strain. In this episode, Dr. David Barber shares what is happening inside the system through his own lived experience. He is a family physician in Kingston and chair of the Ontario Medical Association's Section on General and Family Practice. He explains what it looks like to stay in the profession as the pressures mount, why so many of his colleagues are walking away, and what it means for patients who are being left behind. Produced by Saba Eitizaz, Paulo Marques and Sean Pattendon

Nesting by Roisin O'Donnell On a bright spring afternoon in Dublin, Ciara Fay makes a split-second decision that will change her life. Grabbing an armful of clothes from the washing line, Ciara straps her two young daughters into her car and drives away. Head spinning, all she knows for certain is that home is no longer safe. It was meant to be an escape. But with dwindling savings, no job, and her family across the sea, Ciara finds herself adrift, facing a broken housing system and the voice of her own demons. As summer passes and winter closes in, she must navigate raising her children in a hotel room, searching for a new home and dealing with her husband Ryan's relentless campaign to get her to come back. Because leaving is one thing, but staying away is another. One Hundred Years of Betty by Debra Oswald Meet Betty: storyteller, feminist, eternally curious and phenomenally old. On the eve of her hundredth birthday party, Betty tells us her story. Born into poverty in pre-war London, and growing up fast during the Blitz, Betty grabs the chance at a bigger life by migrating to Australia. On board the SS Asturias she meets three people who will influence the course of her life—Pearl, a good-hearted party girl; Athena, a Greek woman on her way to marry a man she has never met; and Leo, a German Jew who lost his family in the war. In Sydney, Betty is making ends meet as a waitress at the famous Trocadero dance hall when she stumbles into a rushed courtship with Donald, a wealthy businessman, and dedicates herself to being the ideal 1950s suburban housewife. But life has other plans for Betty, and soon she must find a way to do more than survive. Set against a century of world events and social upheavals, Betty takes us to the frontlines of the anti-war protests and the women's liberation movement of the 1970s, to the AIDS crisis during the 1980s, to Mexico and eventually becomes a TV screenwriter. Even in her nineties, Betty is still passionately engaged with the world, still surprising us. From the creator of Offspring and bestselling author of The Family Doctor, One Hundred Years of Betty is the saga of a strong, intelligent woman born too early in time to make the most of her talents without having to fight for everything. It's about the defining force of motherhood, the family we make, and how the determination to live to the hilt, with all the joy and sorrow that entails, can lead to a life beyond one's wildest imaginings.

While most physicians receive only two weeks of nutrition education focused mainly on vitamin deficiencies, Dr. Reller's early exposure to nutrition came from her mother's college nutrition background, which helped shape her eventual path toward metabolic health despite traditional medical training.Dr. Kerry Reller, a board-certified family and obesity medicine physician, shares her transition from electrical engineering to medicine and her approach to incorporating metabolic health principles into a traditional insurance-based practice. She explains how she navigates insurance requirements while still providing comprehensive care, including longer appointment times and detailed lab work analysis. The discussion highlights the challenges of working within the traditional medical system while addressing root causes of metabolic dysfunction. Dr. Reller emphasizes the importance of taking time to understand patient habits, from coffee additives to daily routines, that impact metabolic health. She addresses the concerning rise in childhood metabolic issues, sharing personal experiences as both a physician and parent dealing with school nutrition challenges. The conversation explores the barriers preventing more doctors from adopting metabolic health approaches, including limited awareness and medical education focused primarily on medication-based solutions rather than prevention.NOTABLE QUOTE"If I don't take the time to ask these questions, I mean, I probe and I probe.

Research shows that 2.5 million people in Ontario don't have access to a family doctor. This number is expected to nearly double in two years. Last year, Queen's University partnered with Lakeridge Health to create a new family medicine program and help train Ontario's next generation of family physicians.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jane Philpott says every Canadian should have a legal right to a family doctor and primary health care, in the same way that every Canadian child has a right to an education. In an interview from April, the physician and former health minister tells Matt Galloway about her pitch for a Primary Care Act, and what's stopping politicians from rebuilding a health-care system that Canadians can be proud of. 

When it comes to choosing care during your pregnancy, the options (at least where I live) are midwife, OB (obstetrician) or family doctor. So which to choose? In this episode, I explain how I came to choose a midwife, why I like the midwifery model of care and how my first appointment at my midwife clinic went. I also dispel some common myths about midwives! Ultimately, you should choose a healthcare practitioner who makes you feel safe and comfortable.

Attracting a family doctor to work in a community is challenging, with fewer physicians choosing family medicine. That's why Cheryl Gnyp, the recruiter for Castlegar, B.C., needs to stand out. She uses the board game Operation and specialized coffee as part of her 10-minute sales pitch to potential recruits at conferences. It can take years before a doctor actually starts working in the community, but she's in it for the long haul.

An alumni of CCOM and SCP returns to prove: you can do it! MD/PhD student Miranda Schene, M2 Jeff Goddard, and M1 Fallon Jung visit with alumni Teneme Konne, MD, now a second-year resident. They start by smacking their foreheads over AI-generated images in a recent medical journal, unpacking the rigorous demands of peer review and its pivotal role in scientific accuracy. The conversation then shifts to Dr. Konne's journey in medicine, and the broad responsibilities of family medicine practitioners beyond clinical care. The resilience and growth he achieved during residency offer a comprehensive insight into the realities of becoming a doctor. Key moments include discussions on medical misinformation, the integral role of primary care physicians, and the personal and professional evolution experienced through residency. It wasn't completely smooth, but he did it! And the crew discusses Medscape's Physician Lifestyle & Happiness Report 2024.

We've heard a lot about the dangers of social media.  And a lot of it is qualitative data.  Anecdotal stories that really hit us in our feels.  But I want to show you guys the real life stuff.  And so I connected with a Physician in Canada who sees meidcally just how dangerous social media can be for young kids.  So I brought her here on the show today!   Dr. Alison Yeung is a practicing family physician from Ontario, Canada. She has been practicing for the past 11 years, and over that time has becoming increasingly aware of the mental health crisis facing children and teens. After speaking with patients, and examining the research, it's become clear that social media and video games are causing a significant deterioration in their mental health. She is hoping to raise awareness about this topic by educating parents, and providing strategies to reduce the harm caused by these devices@thesmartphoneeffectIf you want a speaker to come to your community, email heynate@savethekids.org OR fill out the form below.Link to speaker form@savethekidsinc@bulliesbe.goneSupport the showenter BULLIES for a month free at vidangel.com or anywhere you use the serviceSupport the show

Today, some pro-life advocates believe that abortion is acceptable if the woman has been victimized by rape or incest. On today's edition of Family Talk, Dr. Robert Jackson, Jr., author of The Family Doctor Speaks: The Truth About Life, declares that it is morally wrong to kill an unborn child for a misdeed or even a tragic event that has occurred in the mother's life. All unborn children are created in the image of God! Learn more as we are joined by Dr. Jackson's wife, Carlotta, as she shares how their two special needs children teach them how to be more like Christ.

While Dr. Robert Jackson, Jr., was a second-year medical resident, he was asked to administer a drug to induce premature labor on a woman who was carrying a special needs baby in order to abort the pregnancy. He refused, but another doctor did so, prompting the woman to deliver a 22-week-old infant. On today's edition of Family Talk, Dr. Jackson recounts that the patient's little baby, born alive, was wrapped in a cold, wet towel, and abandoned to die in a metal basin. Since that horrific moment, Dr. Jackson has been a passionate and staunch defender of pre-born children. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/707/29
