Welcome to this episode of Physician's Weekly podcast. I am your host, Dr. Rachel Giles, from Medicom Medical Publishers, in collaboration with Physician's Weekly. In this episode, we have two fascinating interviews. Physician's Weekly's Editorial Board Member Alex McDonald, MD, interviews Kavita Arora, MD, Division Director of General Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of North Carolina School of Medicine  (https://www.med.unc.edu/obgyn/directory/kavita-aurora-md-mbe-ms/) about how to flip the narrative that providing abortion service *is* healthcare. In this interview Dr. Arora is “Not sure that I would agree that the measures are well-intended; I think they are misogynistic and controlling of women. They invade patient-clinician privacy and the sacred relationship that happens in my exam room.”But first,  Physician's Weekly's senior editor Martta Kelly speaks with Dr. Osama Amro, Director of Swedish Polycystic Kidney Disease Center in Seattle, WA, about their multidisciplinary patient-centered approach to pain management strategies in the management of autosomal dominant polycystic disease (ADPKD). ADPKD is one of the most common genetic diseases in humans, affecting 1 in 400 individuals, and is the fourth most common cause of renal failure worldwide.  If one parent has ADPKD, the children have a 50% chance of inheriting the gene (though up to 10% of patients don't have a family history and have de novo mutations). Pain management is central to progressive ADPKD, as the cysts grow, the weight of the kidneys can affect other systems. Dr. Amro provides practical tips on both pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches.Enjoy listening!

Host: Patrice L Basanta-Henry, MD, MHSc, FACOG Advances in technology have resulted in increased information being available for pregnant woman. With this increased information has come a rise in the number of requests for termination of pregnancy for fetal indications. However, termination of pregnancy remains a controversial issue in the area of women’s health. Women requesting second trimester terminations may face significant legal barriers as well as poor access to providers and/or facilities that are able to provide the procedure. Host Dr. Patrice Basanta-Henry chats with Dr. Reagan Theiler, Division Director for General Obstetrics and Gynecology and Director of Ryan Residency Training Program at the Dartmouth Hitchcock Center and the controversy surrounding second trimester termination.

This service from July 31, 2016 was presented by members of the UTUUC Reproductive Justice Committee along with Dr. Cassing Hammond. Dr. Hammond, who delivers the sermon, practices General Obstetrics and Gynecology and also directs the Section and Fellowship in Family Planning & Contraception at Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine where he is an Associate Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology.  In 2002, Dr. Hammond launched Northwestern’s Fellowship in Family Planning & Contraception - one of more than 30 fellowship programs throughout the United States and Canada that train physician scientists in complex abortion and contraception care and research. An ardent proponent of reproductive justice, Dr. Hammond chaired the board of directors of the National Abortion Federation (NAF), the nation’s largest professional association of abortion providers. He is one of fifteen founding members of the Society of Family Planning and currently a member of the board of directors of Physicians for Reproductive Health (PRH), the nation’s largest physician-led reproductive rights organization. In 2005 he received NAF’s C. Lalor Burdick Award, given to “Unsung Heroes” of abortion rights. He has also received special recognition for community service from both PRH, Personal PAC Illinois and the Illinois House of Representatives. Dr. Hammond's current research focuses on how contraceptives modify transmission of HIV virus. Cassing and his husband, Scott Fehlan, became members of the Unity Temple Unitarian Universalist Congregation in 2011. Following Dr. Hammond's remarks, the letters of real women expressing their thoughts and feelings around reproduction and abortion are read anonymously by members of the Reproductive Justice Committee. They are Beth Dowell, Jan Johnston, Shirley Lundin, Merritt Kanan and Jen Packhauser. Duane Dowell gives the UU perspective and history on reproductive rights. The theme for July is how to take a path of growth. To read about our theme-based ministry, please visit http://www.unitytemple.org/faith-development/soul-connections on our website.
