HealthNewsReview.org evaluates health care journalism, advertising, marketing, public relations and other messages that may influence consumers and provides criteria that consumers can use to evaluate these messages themselves”.

For more information and related links visit: https://www.healthnewsreview.org/podcastmedia/podcast-the-top-ten-quotes-of-2018/ ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ This 50th podcast is most likely our last. In it we take a look back at some of the more memorable conversations of the past year. There's quite a mix of insights here on everything from what it means to 'cure' Alzheimer's and 'survive' cancer, to 'science-ploitation' and cutting through the hype surrounding precision medicine and the microbiome.

In this podcast, the seven members of the staff take a look back and share what they've learned from the experience.

That contamination is something we document every day at HealthNewsReview.org: imbalanced, inaccurate media messages that mislead consumers about health care. But who is polluting our health care information? And how? In this podcast we speak with four people intimately involved in understanding and explaining not only how this happens, but what we can do about it. These experts will address topics such as the influence of promotional news releases, the impact of financial conflicts of interest, and the role of patient advocacy groups who don't always advocate in patients' best interests.

For related links and more information visit: https://www.healthnewsreview.org/podcastmedia/podcast-the-language-of-cancer/ ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* The words we use to talk about cancer - they matter. They not only reveal our values and beliefs, but they have a certain power to them … ranging from the power to inform and inspire, to the potential to misinform and cause harm. In this podcast you'll hear five powerful perspectives on concerns regarding how our cancer vernacular has the potential to harm people. Katherine O'Brien (9 years with metastatic breast cancer); Mandy Stahre (diagnosed with cancer at age 31); Ellen Miller-Sonet (former marketing executive for a renowned cancer center, now a cancer advocate); Vinay Prasad (oncologist and evidence-based medicine specialist); and Christine Norton (28 years with Stage I breast cancer and co-founder of the Minnesota Breast Cancer Coalition).

This comes less than 18 years after the announcement that the human genome had been fully sequenced. It was a milestone wrapped in a promise; a promise that became known as "precision medicine." But has that promise become reality? In this podcast we turn to five leaders in their respective fields who've been intimately involved with this emerging technology. We ask them them to not only contrast what precision medicine is and may become, but also to help us clarify what holds promise and what's just hype.

Do we really need over 500 psychiatric diagnoses? What do the changes in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (or 'DSM' for short) over the past 60+ years say about psychiatry? The influence of industry? Us? This conversation with renowned psychiatrist, Allen Frances MD, although just over 10 minutes long, touches on all the above and much more. Trust me, he's not shy.

To read the blog -- and background resources -- associated with this podcast visit: https://www.healthnewsreview.org/2017/09/podcast-34-clear-health-costs/ ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Why are health care costs so opaque? And medical bills so hard to understand? When you buy a car, book a flight, or put things in your grocery cart, you not only know the price in advance, but you can also shop around for the best price. But for most health care services you can't. And former New York Times editor and reporter, Jeanne Pinder, thinks that makes no sense at all. So much so that she started ClearHealthCosts.com. This is her story, and the story of those who have joined her, to challenge what she calls "a problem hiding in plain sight."

And hurting people. How can patients protect themselves in a marketplace where the Food & Drug Administration (FDA), Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and state medical boards have been ineffectual? In this podcast you'll hear from George Gibson (a patient left blind after a dubious stem cell intervention), Leigh Turner PhD (a bioethicist who's been following the stem cell marketplace closely), and Drs. Jeanne Loring and Paul Knoepfler - two PhD stem cell researchers from California.

Is it an incidental abnormality that only came into existence as screening mammography became more widespread and sophisticated? Or is it a pre-cancer that affords surgeons a head start in treating breast cancer before it spreads? These are questions that nearly 60-thousand women are faced with each year in this country. The answers to these questions have changed considerably over the past few years. In this podcast you'll hear the voices of: • a health care journalist who has covered DCIS • a patient whose journey with DCIS affected her so deeply she decided to become an advocate • two breast surgeons who are at the forefront of redefining what DCIS is and how it can be treated.

Dr. Julie Switzer is one of them. In this podcast we touch on gender, but we mostly address two other topics. First, is Switzer's passion for caring for the elderly who sustain fractures. Second, the emerging sports focus in how orthopedics is covered by the media, and marketed to the public. Does this sports medicine framing reflect what orthopedics is really about? Is there more to this specialty than the jock-centric image we often associate with it? Switzer has a unique perspective on these and other important questions.

However, nearly half of us over the age of 65 will spend some time in a nursing home at some point in our life. When it comes to news stories about nursing homes and the elderly the most common tend to be about abuse and neglect, delivery of medical care, financial and reimbursement issues, and staffing challenges. But for many who live in nursing homes -- or have loved ones who live there -- the most important issues have to do with quality of life. Things like: privacy, dignity, food, activities, autonomy, security, relationships and comfort. These are things Tetyana Shippee knows about first hand ... even though she is only in her thirties ... and this is her story.

• Aired on HealthNewsReview.org on April 20th, 2017 ~ you can link to that blog and more resources here: https://www.healthnewsreview.org/2017/04/podcast-wellness-programs-do-they-work/ ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Wellness programs in the United States are an $8 billion industry. Over 50 million Americans are enrolled in such programs. They are as variable in size and quality as the companies and organizations that use them. In this podcast you'll hear 3 voices. First, a skeptic who thinks the vast majority of these programs don't work and may even be harmful. Second, a professor who helped bring down a program that illustrated what a wellness program should not be. Finally, a health policy specialist who explains why it's so difficult to gauge whether wellness programs are actually working or not.

[from www.HealthNewsReview.org] One week after the inauguration of President Donald Trump we sat down with one of the most knowledgeable politicians regarding health care to serve in the US Senate over the past half century. David Durenberger served as a Republican senator for Minnesota from 1978 to 1995. He was frequently labeled as either a “moderate” or “progressive” and is the only Republican senator from Minnesota to serve three terms. He was a chairman of the Select Committee on Intelligence as well as the Health Subcommittee of the Senate Finance Committee. He’s also a former chair of the National Institute on Health Policy at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota. But through the years — much like his contemporary Senator Ted Kennedy — Durenberger became best known for his intrepid commitment to healthcare reform. Like Kennedy, he also has endured his share of scandal. He pleaded guilty in 1995 to misuse of public funds and asked for (and got) the unanimous censure of his colleagues. Now, at age 82, Durenberger continues to be sought out for his counsel on healthcare reform. It's probably not just his wisdom that people are after, but also his candor and passion, which are in full display in this interview. A broader blog post about the interview appears on our site: http://www.healthnewsreview.org/2017/02/two-veteran-views-on-health-care-reform-a-politician-a-journalist/

HealthNewsReview.org is the only watchdog that regularly reviews health care news releases. The report card is poor.
