In 2000, the United States declared that measles had been eliminated. But just 15 years later, the disease made a comeback—and it hasn't gone away since. In this episode, Dr. Adam Ratner, director of the Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases at NYU and author of Booster Shots: The Urgent Lessons of Measles and the Uncertain Future of Children's Health, explains why measles outbreaks are occurring again—as vaccine hesitancy and the antivax movement is on the rise—and what this means for the future of children's health.Ratner describes why measles is the most contagious disease we know of, and why it can be particularly harmful to children. As vaccination rates for children and adults continue to decrease in the U.S., are we at risk of undoing decades of medical progress? And what can we do to stop it?

January is National Blood Donor Month, a time set aside to raise awareness for the cause of blood donation because typically in January, there are fewer donors after the winter holidays, even though blood is still critically needed. If you want to know about blood, spend some time with the man who literally wrote the book on blood - Professor Douglas Starr.

Karen Bloom Gevirtz – The Apothecary's Wife: The hidden history of Medicine and how it became a commodity...with TRE's Hannah Murray

Despite advances in scientific research, the stomach remains a subject of mystery and intrigue. After all, it's nearly impossible to ignore its gurgles and growls. Some cultural understanding of the gut has changed too—from an unruly being that must be fed and placated, to a garden ecosystem that is to be nourished in order to flourish.And if you're a frequent listener of Science Friday, you're familiar with the gut's microbiome—the constellation of trillions of microbes thriving in our bodies. And that the stomach has some of the same neuroreceptors as the brain, which has earned it the nickname of the “second brain.”Ira talks with Dr. Elsa Richardson, author of Rumbles: A Curious History of the Gut and co-director of the Centre for the Social History of Health and Healthcare at University of Strathclyde in Scotland. They discuss the changing cultural and scientific understanding of the gut, including the discovery of the enteric nervous system and Victorian-era physician Sir William Arbuthnot Lane's obsession with curing constipation.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Modern medicine is rapidly evolving, but in order to appreciate what we have today, we must look back at how we got here. There were various methods battling for recognition – traditional, folk, homeopathy, herbal, and many more. Our experts explain exactly how scientific medicine came out on top.

In this episode Kate interviewed not one, but three authors: Robert Alpert, Merle Eisenberg, and Lee Mordechai. Together, Robert, Merle, and Lee are the co-authors of a new book, Diseased Cinema: Plagues, Pandemics, and Zombies in American Movies. Robert Alpert is a lawyer and film scholar who teaches at Fordham University and has written extensively about film following his career as a practicing attorney. Merle Eisenberg is a historian of late antiquity and the early middle ages and a professor at Oklahoma State University. Lee Mordechai is a historian of the eastern Roman Empire and a professor at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Together, Merle and Lee also host a podcast called Infectious Historians, all about the history of disease, pandemics, and medicine. Kate talked with all three about what it was like to write a book together, which comes with one more wrinkle: Robert and Lee are also father and son!

Modern medicine owes a lot of its development to the Ancient civilizations of Greece, India and China. Modern medicine took off after the Industrial Revolution because of faster spread of disease and infection within large industrial communities. The medical professionals were able to understand bacterial diseases way before they understood viruses. But the electron microscope took medical research to the next level.

Modern medicine is fatphobic AF. Last week I talked about how we pathologized fat. This week I will bridge the gap between history and our present reality.  We'll cover the impact of:

How did we get “here” when it comes to our perspective on the mind, body and the evidence-based practices that – at least I hope – guide our daily choices and the guidance provided by physicians, coaches and others? How did healthcare and medicine grow from speculative and metaphysical practices to that of reason and empirical observation? Today's guest, esteemed psychiatrist, and best-selling author of Soul Machine (among many others), Dr. George Makari will open our eyes to the intriguing path of modernity, stemming from the crisis in religious authority and the scientific revolution. Along the way, we'll learn why the concept of the “mind” supplied a possible answer, representing “part soul and part machine but fully neither.”Learn more about Dr. Makari and his best-selling books here.Looking for weekly tips, tricks and turbo boosts to enhance your life?

This bedtime story is about medicine and healing since the Neolithic. I will tell you about Ancient Mesopotamia and the first diagnosis and prescriptions, Ancient Egypt and the figure of Imhotep, India, and the principles of Ayurveda, or Chinese Medicine including Moxibustion and Acupuncture. We also take a look at medicine in Ancient Greece and Rome, including important figures like Hippocrates and Galen, and how this legacy passed on and was further developed in the Islamic World, Byzantium, and Medieval Europe. Then we reach the Renaissance and the steps that would lead to an increasingly scientific approach to medicine and the many discoveries of the 19th and 20th centuries, that came with important social change and professionalization (I tell you at the end about scientists like Pasteur or Koch, and Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing).

How do doctors actually think? And if we can answer that, can we train a computer to do a better job? In the post-WW2 period, a group of iconoclastic physicians set about to redefine the nature and structure of clinical reasoning and tried to build a diagnostic machine. Though they would ultimately fail, their failure set the stage for the birth of the electronic health records, formalized the review of systems, and set up a metacognitive conflict that remains unresolved to this day. This episode, entitled “The Database,” is the second part of this on the history of diagnosis with Gurpreet Dhaliwal.

At the turn of the 20th Century, many in the West were quite confident that they were living in the most civilized era in history. Progress had at last won out over barbarism – or so it seemed. Then the battlefields of World War I quickly proved a charnel house – challenging not just the belief in man's progress, but the limits of modern medicine. And yet, the horrors of the battlefield prompted a wave of medical innovations that form the basis of modern medicine today. To discuss this evolution in medicine, the World War I podcast interviewed Dr. Thomas Helling, a Professor of Surgery and head of General Surgery at the University of Mississippi in Jackson. He is an expert on military medicine, trauma and critical care, and the author of The Great War and the Birth of Modern Medicine. 

This is not a full scale history of medicine - more a look at some of the wild medical practices and old-timey treatments performed by our “doctor” forefathers. How about: cocaine for hay fever, treating malaria with a magic word, using mercury on syphilis, using vinegar soaked rags to stop heart palpitations, curing a hangover with shit and owl eggs mixed together, or sticking smoke up your arse as a remedy for cholera. https://bit.ly/WTMbutcher (David Cox Butchers) is, literally, the best butchers in Glasgow (Scottish Business Awards 2021).

Understanding how our medical culture formed is an important step in unraveling the toxicity that has led to burnout and dissatisfaction, and toward building a sustainable, fulfilling, and joyful profession we can be proud to practice. Using some of the information in this paper on the historical perspective on obstacles to physicians' emotional health, this week's podcast episode takes a deep dive into the origins of some of our problems, and some possible solutions.The paper's authors propose three main categories of obstacles that have arisen as part of medical culture:Medical exceptionalism: the idea that being a physician is so special that WE have to lose ourselves.Medicalization of mental health issues: the idea that physicians with any mental health issues are “sick” and “impaired.”Individual responsibility: the idea that the responsibility for dealing with mental  or physical health problems, or one's own wellbeing, resides solely with the individual, and not the institution. You can get on my email list here .  You'll  get a free copy of my book, regular updates on the podcast,  as well as the link to the private physician-only facebook group!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/womenphysiciansflourish)

Show NotesAugust 16, 2021I was honored today to speak with Edward Halperin, MD, a pediatric radiation oncologist, and Chancellor and Chief Executive Officer of New York Medical College, Valhalla, NY. Dr. Halperin is an erudite student of medical history and authored the recent article, ‘“We do not want him because he is a Jew:” The Montreal Interns' Strike of 1934,' published in the Annals of Internal Medicine (1). The story resonated with me for several reasons, one of which is because I was a neurology resident and epilepsy fellow in Montreal from 1985-1989. Dr. Halperin's research puts the current discussion of institutional racism in medicine into relevant historical context.During this 25-minute interview, Dr. Halperin relates the almost forgotten story of Samuel Rabinovitch, MD, the top medical student at the University of Montreal and Jewish intern (briefly!) at the Montreal Notre-Dame Hospital. To protest the hiring of a Jew, 75 French Canadian Roman Catholic interns from multiple hospitals chose to disregard their patient responsibilities and leave Dr. Rabinovitch as the sole intern on duty. Concerned that the strike deprived so many patients of medical care, Dr. Rabinovitch took the high road and resigned. Dr. Halperin also discussed his research regarding quotas that limited Jews and other ethnic groups from entering medical and dental school from the 1920s to the 1960s. Specifically, he investigated why some hospitals defied this policy and integrated their classes. To learn what happened to Dr. Rabinovitch and gain more insight into discrimination in medicine, please take time out of your day to listen to Dr. Halperin!For more fascinating discussions, please subscribe to “The Art of Medicine with Dr. Andrew Wilner” www.youtube.com/c/andrewwilnermdauthorAlso available on your favorite podcast player.PS: Now available on Alexa!

So, this week we start an extended series about the history of medicine. We start in Ancient Egypt and move around the Mediterranean finally ending up in Colonial America.

The Science History Institute has launched a second podcast! We've teamed up with New York Times best-selling author Sam Kean to bring you even more stories from our scientific past. Don't worry, Distillations podcast isn't going anywhere; we're still producing the in-depth narrative-style episodes you know and love! We've just doubled your history of science listening pleasure. For the next 10 weeks we'll bring you stories from the footnotes of the history of science, from the saga of the male birth control pill to this inaugural episode: how the smallpox vaccine made its way around the world before refrigeration. Amid all the logistical headaches of the COVID-19 vaccine rollout, one huge challenge involves the cold chain. The cold chain is a network of freezers and refrigerators that keep vaccine doses at the consistently cold temperatures they need to stay viable. Though complicated, this is all doable in the 21st century. But how did the world's very first vaccine, created for smallpox in 1796, make it around the world? Live carriers—specifically, orphan boys.
