Boone Health is the sixth-largest employer in Columbia/Boone County, according to the latest statistics from Columbia Regional Economic Development Incorporated (REDI). REDI says Boone currently has 1,581 employees. Brady Dubois is celebrating his six-month anniversary this weekend as Boone Health's chief executive officer and president. Mr. Dubois joined host Fred Parry in-studio for the hour Saturday morning on 939 the Eagle's “CEO Roundtable” program. Mr. Dubois grew up in southeast Texas and south central Louisiana and worked on his grandmother's farm. He tells listeners he learned the value of hard work and family while growing up there. He graduated from Southwest Texas State in San Marcos and provided bedside care for five years before joining the U.S. Navy for eight years from 2000-2008. He later worked at northwest Missouri's Mosaic Life Care in St. Joseph, serving on the Jefferson City-based Missouri Hospital Association's board at that time. Mr. Dubois later worked in Detroit before the Boone opportunity came up. His children were attending school at Mizzou and he tells listeners that Columbia “felt like home.” Mr. Parry describes Brady Dubois as decisive and transparent. One of the main issues discussed during the interview was the non-disclosure agreement (NDA) that Boone Health signed with officials in mid-Missouri's Mexico and Audrain County this month. Boone Health says the NDA's purpose is to allow for a full review of hospital service needs for Audrain County and the co-development of a master health plan to meet the needs of residents and businesses in Audrain County. Noble closed the doors on its Mexico hospital in March 2022. Mr. Dubois says they all agree that Mexico/Audrain County needs to have 24-7 emergency care, which means a hospital. They're working on details. He also updated Mr. Parry about efforts to create a network of Boone-affiliated physicians in the market:

https://302.buzz/PM-WhatAreYourThoughtsJoin your host, Dr. Lia Gaggino, on this episode of Pediatric Meltdown as she chats with Dr. Danny Mallen, a pediatric gastroenterologist and medical educator at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Center. Dr. Mallen talks about his interest in nutrition, the puzzle that is the gut, and his passion for helping children with celiac disease. He also discusses his article on finding your “One Thing” and how mentors and opportunities play a role in one's career. Burnout is real. We look to physicians to take care of us, but let's make sure that your doctor is getting everything they need for their own wellness. Dr. Mallen's insights on the importance of finding joy in your work will ring true for every profession and he continues his efforts to improve medical education for general pediatricians and fellows. Don't miss this fascinating conversation about the challenges and rewards of physician's wellness! [00:33 -12:42] Daniel's Journey to Pediatrics and Interest in WellnessDuring his training, he found himself happiest and smiling more when working with children, ultimately leading him to specialize in pediatric gastroenterology.Daniel is passionate about medical education and mentoring trainees, recognizing the importance of wellness in the medical profession. Through his own experiences in training and becoming a parent, Daniel recognized the need for addressing physician burnout and is involved in research on the topic.His interest in wellness came about through his own experiences with stress and recognizing the importance of self-care in the medical field[12:43 - 24:32] Addressing Burnout in Medical Professionals: Insights from a Pediatrician The culture of overworking and sleep deprivation has been prevalent in the medical field for a long time, with long shifts and being on call for extended periods being seen as a "badge of honor."Institutional changes such as shorter shifts and better work-life balance policies are being implemented. However, progress is slow, and more needs to be done to sustain a healthy work environment for medical professionals.Burnout is a real issue that can impact the quality of care medical professionals provide and their well-being. It is important for medical professionals to recognize the signs of burnout and take steps to address it, seeking taking time off to recharge, and finding hobbies or activities outside of work can all contribute to a healthier work life balance. Personal experiences with burnout and overwhelm are common among pediatricians, and recovery often involves taking time off, seeking support from colleagues and loved ones, and practicing self-care.[24:33 -40:17] Strategies for a Work-Life Balance in Academic Medicine: The Eisenhower's Box MethodImportance and urgency are the key factors to consider while managing tasksUrgent tasks with low importance can be delegated or automatedRestorative activities, even if they are not productive, can help reduce burnoutTasks that are not important and not urgent can be avoided to reduce unnecessary stress.[40:18 - 51:46] Creating a Supportive Environment for Healthcare Professionals: Strategies and Best PracticesProviding anonymous peer-to-peer support can make a significant difference in mental health for healthcare workers.Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) teams can be instrumental in helping individuals process traumatic events and feel less isolated in their experiences.It's important

More than two years into the COVID-19 pandemic, there are still many questions that we sort of think we know the answers to, and many others we don't. We do know vaccine effectiveness wanes, and that vaccines need to be updated to keep pace with an evolving virus. We don't know if next-generation vaccines will be as effective against current variants as the original shots were against COVID Classic. We do know that the virus is substantially less deadly now that we've built up a big wall of immunity, but it still manages to infect most people, sometimes even multiple times a year. Is this a level of disruption we're just going to have to tolerate indefinitely? Would anyone really be satisfied with the existing level of COVID risk continuing in perpetuity? And is our healthcare equipped to deal with the ongoing and compounding effects of long COVID? Dr. Peter Hotez, professor of pediatrics and molecular biology at Baylor College of Medicine and co-director of Texas Children's Hospital Center for Vaccine Development, joins Brian to discuss the known knowns, known unknowns, and the unknown unknowns of COVID—and whether ongoing research can provide the answers we need.

Join us for a deeper dive into the COVID-19 bivalent booster including discussion around immune response, insights for patients on when to get boosted, the outlook for fall/winter, and whether we may eventually have an annual booster in the future.

Dr. Peter Hotez joins CareTalk to discuss the anti-science culture that has developed in recent years and how it's impacting our response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Hotez explains how the anti-vaccine movement is based on misinformation and fearmongering.

As temperatures rise across the country, infectious diseases, experts say it's a tale to COVID nations as we head into the summer. On one hand, we have some states with high vaccination rates and where people are still practicing mask wearing even after they've gotten the shot. On the other hand, we have stagnating vaccination rates in the south, especially among adolescents and anti-vaccine movements, bring in the Delta COVID variant and it might be a lot of trouble across the South in the months ahead.  Connect with Lisa on Facebook or Twitter.

On today's episode, let's take a dive into the world of mental health. It's a discussion that is beginning to enter more circles, a trend that must continue to save lives. Part of that discussion involves the exploration of mental health medications and how they play a role in healing for some. "What are the side effects? What do they mean? How do I know?" These are all questions that we explore with someone who has played a key role in my mental health journey. His name is Dr. Theodore Osuala. "Dr. Osuala graduated from the University of Port Harcourt College of Health Sciences in 1989. He works in Lanham, MD and 4 other locations and specializes in Neurology, Psychology and Psychiatry. Dr. Osuala is affiliated with Washington Adventist Hospital and Prince George's Hospital Center," says Web MD. He joins us today for a discussion on psychiatric medications and various mental health topics. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/livebw/support

At the beginning of the U.S. COVID outbreak, Peter Hotez was carefully nonpartisan, appearing on both Fox News and MSNBC. But as his horror grew about the lack of a national response to the pandemic, he sharply criticized the Trump administration. Now, it's the Biden administration's turn. In a Tuesday op-ed in the Washington Post, Hotez explained why new variants of SARS-COV-2 require Biden to radically step up his vaccine game. Here Hotez explains how we could do that — and what he believes the U.S. must do to get vaccine into more arms. Peter Hotez is a professor and dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine, and co-director of the Texas Children's Hospital Center for Vaccine Development.

In a strange sort of way, a recent Sky News story reminded me of Luke 11. That's where Jesus asks whether, if your child asked for a fish, you'd give them a snake? Or if they asked for an egg, would you hand them a scorpion? Here's the article's headline: “Hundreds of young trans people seeking help to return to original sex.” The story featured a woman who, after publicly admitting regret over her so-called “surgical transition,” was contacted by hundreds of people in her part of England who felt the same way. One of those people, “Ruby,” also struggled with eating disorders. One would think that the combination of gender dysphoria and eating disorders would suggest to medical professionals that Ruby was suffering from body image issues. But, as she told Sky News, the doctors never even suggested there might be a connection there worth exploring. Instead, it was “Here's your hormones, here's your surgery, off you go.” Or, to borrow Jesus' words, “Here's your scorpion, here's your snake.” This story is far from uncommon. Young people in emotional pain and distress are asking adults for help. But, because of our ideological blind spots, we give them serpents and scorpions instead of what they really need. Just consider the name given to a new children's pediatric clinic at Akron Children's Hospital: “Center for Gender Affirming Medicine.”  Since the fundamental connection between gender and biological reality has already been severed by our ideological commitments, it's safe to assume that doctors there will “affirm,” both in their diagnoses and with their prescribed treatments, whatever gender a child claims they are. But what about the Ruby's of the world? What about the hundreds of people in that one part of England that were given the wrong treatment for their psychological issues? They are victims of our bad ideas, and our blind spots. Too often, they are forced to be invisible victims, ignored because their very existence challenges the new sexual orthodoxy. Many physicians today simply ignore that up to 80 percent of the children who suffer from gender dysphoria will eventually outgrow those feelings. Even worse, they fail to connect the dots between gender dysphoria and potentially serious mental illnesses that often accompany it—like depression and generalized anxiety disorder. Or, in Ruby's case, a severe eating disorder. Multiple issues like this spark the “chicken and egg” questions. Does gender dysphoria cause depression and anxiety? Or is gender dysphoria a symptom of depression and anxiety?  The truth is that no one knows with any certainty. But, the new gender ideology is leading many professionals to proceed with treatment as if gender dysphoria is no disorder at all. So, the best “treatment” (the theory goes) is to affirm the young person's belief that they are transgender and initiate the transition process as soon as possible. This will supposedly reduce the inner conflict, and in turn help with their other disorders. This neat and tidy theory has one big problem: There's no evidence it works. In fact, evidence points the other way. A 2011 study that followed 324 Swedish men who had undergone sexual reassignment surgery found that 10-15 years later, their suicide rate was 20 times higher than that of their peers. An earlier study in Britain commissioned by the Guardian newspaper found that “There is no conclusive evidence that sex change operations improve the lives of transsexuals, with many people remaining severely distressed and even suicidal after the operation . . .” Today, affirmation passes for “care,” not because it is, but because it affirms gender ideology, even if it leads to life-altering surgery or hormonal treatments. If the patient later regrets it, or hurt themselves, or are miserable, we'll just blame it on “transphobia.” Ideas have consequences. Bad ideas have victims. We need to ensure that the victims of bad gender ideology are no longer invisible. Their stories must be heard.
