Then, they pivot to a vastly different kind of casework: foreign objects found inside the human body. From surgical tools accidentally left behind to items inserted for sexual pleasure or criminal intent, Dr. Priya shares unforgettable autopsy findings and the often-overlooked forensic clues they offer.

The Reel Eyes Podcast takes a sharp, entertaining turn into suspense cinema with Holland—a small-town thriller where an eye doctor sits at the center of the plot. Hosts Dr. Jacobi Cleaver and Dr. Jacob Wilson blend movie breakdown with clinical reality, exploring how optometry in film can play surprisingly well on screen while offering teachable moments about contact lens safety, after-hours triage, and patient communication. For eye care professionals, this isn't just a movie review—it's a case study in how pop culture reflects (and sometimes distorts) life in the exam lane.

The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode 407 HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden and Dr. Craig Spodak DESCRIPTION In this episode of the Bulletproof Dental Practice Podcast,  Craig and Peter celebrate Craig's birthday while delving into the importance of team dynamics and relationships in the dental business. They discuss the common misconceptions about needing the right team to succeed and emphasize that great people are created through effective leadership. The conversation explores the challenges of managing a dental practice, the significance of time and freedom, and the realities of selling a practice to a DSO. They provide pragmatic steps for overwhelmed dentists looking to improve their business and work-life balance.  TAKEAWAYS The importance of celebrating milestones in life and business. Great people in business are created, not just found. Building strong relationships is key to business success. Leadership growth is crucial for organizational success. Managing the urgent versus the quiet important tasks is essential. More money does not equate to more freedom. Understanding the value of time is critical for dentists. The DSO model can be misleading for practice owners. Creating a business that works for you is vital for long-term success. Pragmatic steps can help overwhelmed dentists regain control of their practices. Maximizing productivity can be achieved with a three-day work week. Clarity in goals is essential for success. Reverse engineering helps in creating actionable plans. Effective communication aligns the team with the vision. Delegation empowers team members and fosters growth. Dentists need to adopt a business mindset for freedom. Clarity reduces confusion and enhances team performance. Your dental license is a valuable asset for business.

Many veterinary teams have one: the colleague who runs to management about every minor mistake or late trash bag. But when does necessary reporting turn into destructive tattling? This week on The Veterinary Viewfinder, Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, MPA, RVT, unpack one of the profession's most frustrating dynamics: coworkers who undermine team culture by excessive fault-finding. Hosts Dr. Ward and vet tech Beckie Mossor examine how tattletale behavior often stems from insecurity, perfectionism, or even underlying issues like OCD, yet still chips away at psychological safety and trust. They discuss the difference between legitimate reporting and gossip, and why managers must address patterns early before morale collapses. Ignoring the issue doesn't make it go away; it drives good employees out while problem behavior festers. Listeners will learn practical strategies, such as anonymous “concern boxes,” structured feedback models (SBI: Situation, Behavior, Impact), and defining gossip as “talking to someone who can't solve the problem.” The hosts also share real-life examples where unchecked tattling escalated into fractured teams, cover-ups, and even departures of top performers. Whether you're a manager navigating a chronic complainer or a technician tired of walking on eggshells, this episode offers valuable insights and practical tools to help you reclaim a healthier clinic culture. Because in veterinary medicine, trust isn't optional; it's the foundation of patient care. #VeterinaryPodcast #VetMed #VetClinicLife #VetTechLife #VeterinaryLeadership #ClinicCulture #TeamMorale #FeedbackMatters #NoMoreTattletales #StopTheGossip #HealthyWorkplace #VeterinaryCommunity

In this episode of Behind the Knife, Dr. Patrick Georgoff sits down with Dr. Keri Seymour and Dr. Joey Lew to tackle the complex world of gastrostomy tubes. What may seem like a routine and straightforward procedure is anything but—full of nuanced patient considerations, timing dilemmas, technical challenges, and potential complications that can turn a “simple” consult into a 2 a.m. call you won't forget. From who truly needs a G tube and when to managing difficult post-op issues like dislodgement and buried bumper syndrome, this episode breaks down the practical, evidence-based approach every surgeon should know. Whether you're managing stroke patients, trauma cases, or navigating the tricky administrative obstacles around enteral access, this episode will equip you with the insights and strategies to confidently dominate your G tube consults. Hosts:  ·      Dr. Patrick Georgoff (Acute Care Surgeon, Duke University) ·      Dr. Keri Seymour (Minimally Invasive & Acute Care Surgeon, Duke Regional) ·      Dr. Joey Lew (Surgical Resident, BTK MIS Team) Learning Goals: By the end of this episode, listeners will be able to:  ·      Understand the nuanced indications for gastrostomy tube (G tube) placement. ·      Learn which patients truly benefit from G tubes, and when enteral access is not appropriate or indicated. ·      Appreciate the importance of goals of care discussions, assessment of comorbidities, and decision-makers—especially in neurocritical and elderly populations. ·      Know evidence-based timing for gastrostomy tube placement in stroke, TBI, and other complex scenarios. ·      Understand guideline recommendations and the clinical reasoning behind trial periods of nasogastric feeding versus early G tube placement. ·      Describe technical approaches to G tube placement and how to tailor the method to patient anatomy and clinical context. ·      Solidify knowledge of when to choose endoscopic, laparoscopic, open, or interventional radiology-guided placement. ·      Recognize, manage, and strive to prevent common and serious complications of G tubes, including early and late dislodgement, buried bumper syndrome, infection, bleeding, and gastrocutaneous fistula. ·      Discuss perioperative considerations, including anticoagulation, patient stability, and post-procedural care. ·      Understand why routine suturing of the G tube or bumper is not recommended, and how administrative and facility factors can drive clinical decisions. ·      Gain practical pearls and quick decision trees to dominate G tube consults and troubleshooting, day or night.

The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode 406 HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden and Dr. Craig Spodak Guest: Dr. Brian Harris DESCRIPTION In this conversation, Dr. Brian Harris joins us to discuss the art of enrollment in dentistry, emphasizing the importance of pre-appointment preparation, patient engagement, and effective communication. They explore the role of introverts in patient interactions, share personal stories of learning from mistakes, and highlight the significance of follow-up and transparency in building trust with patients. The discussion also covers strategies for handling financial conversations, the value of offering discounts, and the innovative approach of the Smile Test Drive to enhance patient experience. TAKEAWAYS Pre-appointment preparation is crucial for in-office success. Creating a connection with patients is more important than perfecting a script. Introverts can excel in patient engagement by focusing on genuine communication. Learning from mistakes is essential for growth in practice. Follow-up communication can help re-engage patients who didn't enroll. Discounts should be framed as value-added offers, not devaluations of service. Transparency in treatment options builds trust with patients. The Smile Test Drive is an effective tool for patient engagement. Clarity in treatment plans helps patients make informed decisions. Gamifying patient engagement can create healthy competition among staff.

The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode 405 HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden and Dr. Craig Spodak GUEST: Dr. Brian Harris DESCRIPTION In this engaging conversation, Dr. Brian Harris shares his journey from burnout to rediscovering his passion for dentistry. He emphasizes the importance of patient enrollment and how virtual consultations can enhance the patient experience. The discussion covers the psychology behind patient interactions, the role of technology in modern dentistry, and the significance of building trust and transparency with patients. Dr. Harris also highlights the need for dentists to focus on providing value and creating lasting relationships with their patients, ultimately leading to greater success in their practices.

Virtual consultations can significantly enhance patient engagement. Building trust is essential for patient retention. Technology can streamline the patient consultation process. Patients appreciate personalized communication and transparency. Follow-up is key to maintaining patient relationships. Dentists should focus on providing value to patients. Creating a positive first impression can lead to higher case acceptance.

Primary hyperparathyroidism is an underdiagnosed condition which leads to decreased bone mineral density, fracture, renal disease, among other symptoms that can decrease the quality of a patient's life. Moreover, once diagnosed, only a small fraction of patients with the diease end up being offered surgery. Whether it is because of misunderstood indications and benefits of surgery, non-localization of disease, or various other reasons, we thought it was worthwhile to review relevant literature. Hosts: Dr. Becky Sippel is an endowed professor of surgery at Division Chief of endocrine surgery at University of Wisconsin Madison and she is the most recent past president of the AAES.  She is an internationally recognized leader in the field of endocrine surgery. She has over 250 publications. She was the PI for a RCT which studies prophylactic central neck dissections which is a widely read and quoted study in endocrine surgery. Dr. Amanda Doubleday is a fellowship trained endocrine surgeon in private practice with an affiliation to UW Health. Her primary practice is with Waukesha Surgical Specialists in Waukesha WI.  Dr. Simon Holoubek is a fellowship trained endocrine surgeons affiliated with UW Health. He works for UW Health with privileges at UW Madison and UW Northern Illinois. His clinical interests are aggressive variants of thyroid cancer, parathyroid autofluorescence, and nerve monitoring.  Learning Objectives: 1 Understand the natural history of primary hyperparathyroidism and how the disease process can affect bone mineral density. 2 Learn about fracture risk associated with primary hyperparathyroidism. 3 Learn about decreased fracture risk in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism who have parathyroidectomy compared to those who are observed.  References: 1 Rubin MR, Bilezikian JP, McMahon DJ, Jacobs T, Shane E, Siris E, Udesky J, Silverberg SJ.

A skeleton in the woods. A decade-old missing persons case. No clothing, no wallet—just scattered bones, a handgun, and one unusual clue: a custom brass belt buckle engraved with an eagle. It was the one thing friends and family could describe without hesitation, and it was all Dr. Priya Banerjee needed to confirm an identity and bring long-awaited closure. In this episode, Dr. Priya Banerjee joins Sheryl McCollum to explore how jewelry, tattoos, piercings, and other personal effects can crack a case wide open. From thin gold chains to infrared-revealed tattoos, shotgun-damaged accessories to telling purse contents, Dr. Priya recounts cases proving that meticulous documentation isn’t just procedure—it’s often the key to solving cases. Highlights (0:00) "Dead men do tell tales.” —the investigative value of jewelry, piercings, and tattoos (1:45) Purse contents: receipts, bus passes, and the kind of intel you can’t Google (4:00) The thin gold chain that confirmed an identity (5:30) Belt buckles don’t lie: solving a decade-old missing persons case (9:00) A John Doe’s everyday markers: custom belt buckle, company ring, 70s tattoos (10:30) Tattoos and piercings that shout “this is who I am”—from faith and hometown pride to game-day loyalties (17:30) Medical examiners and law enforcement: the investigative dream team About the Hosts Dr. Priya Banerjee is a board-certified forensic pathologist with extensive experience in death investigation, clinical forensics, and courtroom testimony.

The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode 404 HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden and Dr. Craig Spodak DESCRIPTION: In this conversation, Peter Boulden and Craig discuss their reflections on a recent dental summit, emphasizing the importance of team alignment, community support, and leveraging AI in dental practices. They highlight the significance of masterminds and the Bulletproof Launch Pad concept, which aims to support dentists in their growth journey. The discussion also touches on the future of dentistry, the myth of being well-rounded, and the need for dentists to embrace change and growth.  TAKEAWAYS The recent summit was the best ever, with high attendance and energy. Team alignment is crucial for success in dentistry. Community support is essential for dentists to thrive. AI presents opportunities for efficiency in dental practices. Masterminds provide accountability and growth for dental professionals. The Bulletproof Launch Pad helps new dentists gain ownership and support. Dentistry is resistant to AI, making human capital vital. Being well-rounded is a myth; focus on your superpower. Dentists should get out of the way and empower their teams.

Hosts Dr. Natalie Keith and Dr. Josiah Dame discuss current flea, tick, and heartworm prevention options — from the new Bravecto Quantum 12‑month injectable to monthly pills, topicals, and Seresto collars — and explain how each works and who they suit. They compare pros and cons (including Lone Star tick efficacy and seizure‑history cautions), offer practical tips for choosing based on pet lifestyle and species (dogs vs. cats, indoor vs. outdoor), and emphasize the importance of consistent, year‑round prevention.

Sometimes the story is in the fabric, not the flesh—and in the right hands, clothing can speak volumes about a death investigation. In this episode, Dr. Priya Banerjee joins Sheryl McCollum to explore how clothing can hold vital clues in a death investigation. From the first look at a scene to the autopsy table, they reveal how stains, textures, odors, and damage can tell a story the body alone might not. Dr. Priya shares real-world cases — from waterlogged jeans covered in barnacles to garments hiding trace evidence — and explains why context, culture, and condition matter. Highlights: (0:00) Welcome to Pathology with Dr. Priya, a Zone 7 series (1:00) "The clothes tell me something before I even start the exam.” (3:15) Stains, fibers, and fabric that preserve hidden evidence (5:15) When clothing speaks louder than the wounds (9:00) Smelling out the truth: detecting accelerants in fire cases (10:45) Finding the unseen with alternate light sources (12:30) What traditional dress can reveal in an investigation (14:30) Paradoxical undressing and mismatched environments (16:15) Rips, tears, and the unmistakable signs of struggle About the Hosts Dr. Priya Banerjee is a board-certified forensic pathologist with extensive experience in death investigation, clinical forensics, and courtroom testimony.

In this episode, Dr. Jim Zeliff, DVM, MBA, joined us to discuss the emergence of mid-level veterinary practitioners. In November 2024, Colorado voters passed Proposition 129, creating a “veterinary professional associate” position. After two years of training and certification, these associates would be able to practice veterinary medicine under the supervision of a licensed veterinarian.The AVMA, AAEP, and many other veterinary associations are strongly opposed to this mid-level role. In the episode, Dr. Zeliff encouraged veterinarians to become involved in their state VMA to increase advocacy for equine and other sectors of veterinary medicine. In closing, he said increased utilization of licensed veterinary technicians is an important part of keeping VPAs out of equine veterinary medicine.The Business of Practice Podcast is brought to you by CareCredit.This information is shared solely for your convenience.

For Dr. Priya, the autopsy is just the beginning. What happens next can change everything for the families left behind. In this episode, Dr. Priya Banerjee joins Sheryl McCollum, to examine a side of autopsies that rarely makes headlines: the profound responsibility of communicating with families. Dr. Priya reflects on the power of empathy in the autopsy suite, the deep importance of walking families through trauma with care, and the surprising ways postmortem findings can protect the living. She shares raw personal experiences—from the loss of her own parents to advocating for grieving families left behind during COVID—and the critical role of cultural awareness, front-line staff, and honest conversations. Listeners will also learn how autopsies sometimes uncover hereditary conditions that can lead to lifesaving interventions for surviving loved ones. This is forensic pathology not just as a science, but as a service.

Welcome to Pathology with Dr. Priya | A Zone 7 Series, a forensic deep-dive led by board-certified pathologist Dr. Priya Banerjee. Each Monday, Dr. Priya teams up with Emmy Award–winning CSI Sheryl “Mac” McCollum to explore the silent testimony of the dead and the science behind suspicious deaths. From the autopsy suite to the courtroom, they uncover the truth in tissues, expose investigative missteps, and give voice to those who can no longer speak for themselves. Whether you're a seasoned detective, true crime obsessive, or just curious about what the body can really reveal—this is your front-row seat to forensic pathology in action. In this debut episode, Dr. Priya reflects on her approach to autopsies, what the body can reveal that others can’t, and why collaboration between law enforcement and medical examiners is essential to justice. With more than 3,000 autopsies to her name—including the high-profile Breonna Taylor case and work with the NSA—Dr. Priya brings both precision and heart to this science. She and Sheryl McCollum break down the John O’Keefe case and walk listeners through what a well-executed forensic process should look like. You’ll also meet Slice—the puppy with a badge and a calming presence in even the most intense training rooms—and get a glimpse into Dr. Priya’s personal world, where compassion, curiosity, and hard-earned experience converge. Highlights: (0:00) Welcome to Pathology with Dr. Priya | A Zone 7 Series (1:00) Who is Dr. Priya?

The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode 402 HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden  and Dr. Craig Spodak GUEST: Erika Pusillo  DESCRIPTION In this episode, Pete, Craig, and Erika discuss the critical aspects of hiring associates in dental practices, focusing on economic expectations, communication, compensation, cultural fit, and the importance of aligning treatment philosophies.  They break down the need for clarity in communication, understanding the true value of compensation beyond percentages, and the significance of cultural fit in ensuring successful associate relationships.  TAKEAWAYS Communication is more of an art than a science.
