In this episode of The Non-Prophets, the panel reacts to the alarming halt in CDC communications, with the U.S. now flying blind on public health threats. Budget cuts, mass firings, and political meddling have silenced disease alerts that once informed doctors, hospitals, and the public. The team dives into how dismantling the CDC's outreach endangers lives, erodes trust in science, and shows contempt for evidence-based governance. It's not about public safety—it's about control.NPR, “CDC's public health warnings go dark after staff firings, media freeze”By Elijah Nouvelage, May 21, 2025https://www.npr.org/2025/05/21/nx-s1-5387723/cdc-communications-cuts-social-media-public-healthThe Non-Prophets 24.23.1 with Eli Slack, Kelley Laughlin, and AJAmerica's Disease Watchdog Has Gone Silent

CME credits: 0.25 Valid until: 16-04-2026 Claim your CME credit at https://reachmd.com/programs/cme/first-line-chemotherapy-options-in-metastatic-pdac/33135/ Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, also known as PDAC, is a lethal disease that is usually diagnosed at an advanced stage with an extremely poor prognosis. Advancements in treatment regimens have improved survival rates, but early diagnosis is crucial for improving outcomes, and awareness of risk factors is vital for early diagnosis. Cytotoxic chemotherapy is the cornerstone of treatment for advanced or metastatic cases, although molecularly targeted therapies and immunotherapies may benefit select patients. Treatment selection depends on several factors, including patients' performance status and comorbidities, which should be considered alongside the efficacy and safety profiles of the different chemotherapy regimens. This two-part programme provides an overview of the different first- and second-line chemotherapy options. Complete both modules, answer pre- and post-test questions and start earning CME credits.

To close out this series on prayer, we delve into the raw honesty of Jeremiah's lament in Lamentations 3 and Jesus' anguish in Gethsemane. These biblical accounts reveal that it's okay to struggle with God's will and express our pain to Him. We learn that being godly doesn't mean always feeling okay or having a positive attitude. Instead, true faith allows us to bring our burdens, confusion, and even anger to God. The message emphasizes the difference between isolation and solitude in our spiritual journey. While isolation can be dangerous, solitude with God can be transformative. This teaching encourages us to run to the Father with our problems rather than away from them. Ultimately, we're reminded that God's love is steadfast, His mercies are new every morning, and His faithfulness endures even in our darkest valleys. This message challenges us to be honest in our prayers and to cling to hope, even when we can't feel or see God's presence.

“Primary care physicians are your first line of defense against cancer,” said Matthew Farrell, M.D., an Ohio State Wexner Medical Center primary care physician and a clinical associate professor of family and community medicine. Prevention, screenings and early detection are crucial and begins with a patient's family history with cancer and other medical issues. “We are thorough and ask about their first-degree relatives, their parents, siblings and children, and their secondary relatives, such as grandparents and aunts and uncles,” Farrell said. “If I see a pattern, a certain number of relatives with the same cancer, especially at an early age, there could be a genetic factor.” A patient with an inherited genetic mutation will then be screened at an earlier age and more often. Dr. Farrell also talked about the importance of children receiving the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine that prevents certain types of cancer. He examines patients to detect skin cancer and melanoma in the early stages. “Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer and it's personal for me; my mother was diagnosed with melanoma three times … and she's doing fine.” Breast cancer and prostate cancer are two of the most common forms of cancer. Dr. Farrell discussed when women should begin getting yearly mammograms, and why and when men should begin to undergo regular Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) tests. Men and women without a family history of colorectal cancer should get their first colonoscopy at 45. “My brother-in-law was 52 when he had his first colonoscopy,” Dr. Farrell said. “They found a large tumor in his colon; it was removed, and he's been cancer free for 20 years now.” Lung cancer screenings are relatively new and recommended for long-time smokers. They are vital because “if you wait until there are symptoms it's very hard to treat and cure,” Dr. Farrell said, adding “I'm fortunate to be part of the Ohio State system and the James where we have experts and specialists for every type of cancer and medical issue my patients have.”

Summary: In this conversation, Dave Quick shares his experiences as a firefighter and company officer, reflecting on a close call during a fire incident and the lessons learned from it. He discusses the importance of mentorship, the challenges of transitioning to an officer role, and the critical responsibilities of the second due engine. Quick emphasizes the need for effective training and preparation, particularly in handling emergencies like burst lines. He also highlights the significance of learning from mistakes and fostering a culture of growth within the fire service. The discussion culminates in an overview of Quick's Engine Boss presentation, aimed at equipping aspiring officers with the necessary skills and mindset for effective leadership in firefighting. Takeaways: The importance of doing a 360 at a fire scene. Mentorship can significantly impact a firefighter's development. Promoting to officer requires a different skill set than being a firefighter. The second due engine plays a crucial role in fire response. Effective communication is vital during emergencies. Training and preparation are key to successful firefighting. Learning from mistakes is essential for growth in the fire service. Company officers need to be prepared for unexpected situations. A culture of accountability and support enhances team performance. Continuous learning and reflection are necessary for effective leadership.
