We're in the military in particular, we have seen an insane amount of.Injury, just at a, at a conservative level, not just from a database, but from real actual testimony of doctors who treat active duty soldiers. And yet they have nowhere to go. You [00:01:00] have religious exemptions being denied. You have medical exemptions being denied. You have doctors who speak out are being fired.You have soldiers being dishonorably discharged a year or two away from, uh, their retirement, losing all the benefits sometime they have sometimes having to pay back, uh, you know, training. I've heard of pilots that got damaged, got heart ailments from the first. Declined to take the second shot. And they're told if you don't, you have to pay back what like $3 million worth of, uh, aviation training.I mean, things like that. Oh, it's over the COVID over the mandate. No, they're not maybe for you, not for the military. And it shocked me how people don't care and it's broadly emblematic of what's going on. I don't have time to really delve into it, but today I have a column. Talking about how Republican for years and still to this day, they only care about quantity, not quality in the military.So they wrote a desperate letter to [00:02:00] Joe Biden. And what would you think it would be? Oh my gosh. You've got to stop the mandate. You've got to look into demon. You've got to look into the cover-up. You've got to look into people being fired. No, it's all about, we need more money for the military money, money, money, but if you don't change the policies in the military, What good is the money it's going to go more into green energy, more into the licentious.anti-Christian agenda more into the gender bending. I talk about it into these column. The, you know, it's funny, what's a woman, right? What's a woman. They can't recognize female and nail, except when it comes to shoving them in combat that. Well, they're like, no, there's no difference. Women are men too, except, well, they're not.So we're going to have lower standards, but they're the same. And they're not the same when it benefits. I mean, this is the stuff we need to be working on. What's our broad strategic vision in the military. You know, you know that that's what the NBA is for first. You look at the scope of their mission.Then you have the approach. Bill w what, what do we want to [00:03:00] fund? It's always just about dollars dollars, not about policy. Well with us today to bring this all out. Is Dr. Sam piggle off. He's a major in the us army medical Corps. Um, he is, if he was the medical director of the clinic at four, for a while to guy in Arizona, until he was suspended for, for having the audacity to offer medical exemption for people who needed them.And, you know, he's named in certain court cases for people that were denied. And we can talk about the court cases to be clear, any opinion expressed today from Dr. Is as a family physician is in civilian clothes today, not as a member of the military DOD or the U S government. Um, but again, he was suspended for unprofessional conduct, disseminating misleading information to patients and distributing, uh, and distribution of vaccine exemption letter characterizing vaccines as genetic.[00:04:00] Dr. Major signal off. Thanks so much for joining us today. Sam Sigoloff: I thank you for having me on Daniel. Uh, yeah. So I just want to make a real quick, disclaimer. I know you already said it, but any view that I express is solely my own does not, is not the view of DOD of the department, of the army, nor of the U S government.I am currently on leave, not in uniform. And my public affairs officer is aware of this. Daniel Horowitz: Perfect. So, but broadly speaking, you still are generally inactive duty military. You're not retired yet, but you are suspended. So you're a family physician, uh, to be clear, you're not a unit doctor, so you're not dealing with the health of active duty military, primarily you're dealing with the families.Why first talk about clinically. What you've seen. Um, in your practice among those who have gotten a shot. Okay. Sam Sigoloff: Well also, so I just kinda wanna give you a little preface, like you said, I see family members, but I've also been out of practice. So this suspension deals specifically with me [00:05:00] practicing medicine, and I've been taken out of practice since September 13th.I haven't seen a patient in clinic since September 13th. And when I was seeing patients, I saw, you know, an elderly retiree wife come in and she had rash a rash on her leg shortly after she had. And she said, I have this rash and I look at it and you know, you try to rashes, we'll usually blanche, meaning you push on it and the redness goes away and it comes back.It was a non blanchable rash. So that's, , that's pinpoint bleeding underneath the skin. And sometimes that can be benign. Sometimes that can be the harbinger of death.Daniel Horowitz: Yeah. Then we've seen a lot of that and it's been in the document. You've talked to before about nursing women. So you'll deal with kind of, you know, military wives sometimes, uh, we've all talked about the lunacy of pushing an emergency shot on pregnant [00:06:00] women. Something that has never been done at violates every medical ethos around.Well, what is the suspect that you've seen with nursing women? Sam Sigoloff: It's interesting. You bring that up. So one thing that I've learned through this process is when women breastfeed the proteins in their bloodstream are concentrated in their breasts, in their breast milk. And so when you breastfeed your child and you've had this, this, what they're alleging is a vaccine and it's filled with spike protein, and let's say the spike protein is the dangerous part of the virus.And it is, as we know, um, and it's, you're, you're basically giving your child something that could be quite dangerous and it can cause problems, but then there's the other part of it too. So there's a, there's a couple things going on. There's the lipid nanoparticles, which are fats. And there is a lot of fat in breast milk because children, adults, everyone needs saturated fat.And, and so that w does that transfer the, those lipid nanoparticles transfer in the breast milk? I don't know. I do know that, [00:07:00] um, per the Pfizer 5.3 0.6 cumulative report, uh, it says that there are problems that they have. Breastfeeding women, about 14% of them. And they have things like irritability.They'll see rashes, they'll see weight loss, they'll see all these different complications fever. I know one of the four infants that I saw was having fever for four months, every single day for four months. So much that he would be sent. This child would be sent home from daycare because of the fever.Daniel Horowitz: And you couldn't diagnose anything, but you did know that the mother got the shot. Sam Sigoloff: All of these symptoms for these four patients began within a week or two after mom got second shot of Madonna, Madonna, and I, and this, this child, you know, if, if you know anything about medicine, a child who has a fever for extended period of time needs to be evaluated for Kawasaki's and the workup for Kawasaki for that child was negative.So the child did not have counts. Daniel Horowitz: Wow. Wow. I mean, it's very apropos. A couple moments ago, [00:08:00] we were just talking about Madrona pursuing this shot for six months old babies. And, uh, you know, the assumption was that until now, uh, uh, babies and toddlers, haven't gotten the shot. Yeah. I mean, that is something, are they truly an unfettered control group against this?Because what about the nursing babies? And I mean, what you're saying is nothing new. We know that any nursing women are discouraged from taking any therapeutic whatsoever, uh, that is not affirmatively been proven, paid, or breastfeeding babies, uh, precisely because it does transfer over or, you know, it, it definitely has the potential to, so this is an avenue I just heard you talk about before.And I, I. Fascinating. Um, it should be noted for our audience. You can find Dr. podcast after hours with Dr. Siegel love, look that up and you can hear him talk about this more. Um, but I do want to get to, you know, kind of moving over from a peer, a doctor to the military and the military doctor. [00:09:00] Um, so one of the things that I've gotten tons of emails, they're heartbreaking from people.It's not just people getting kicked out. It's. As soon as you apply for an exemption, you are marked, it's like, you're a bad person. You're a bad apple. You won't get good assignments. You won't get promotion. So even if ultimately you've given to the pressure and you get the shot, you are tagged and you're going to have problems in the military for the rest of your career.Could you elaborate a little bit on your own experience? They took that to, uh, the next level that just for offering. Medical exemption, you got suspended. So to this day you cannot practice medicine in the military. Sam Sigoloff: Right? So until I get my privileges back, uh, which we're in the process of, of negotiating for that, um, I can't practice medicine anywhere.I'm also currently under investigation in Texas. Um, For the misleading information. Um, and it [00:10:00] talks about that. A lot of that information is available in the children. Children's health, defense, uh, article that was written about me. So this is all public information. This is all, um, court documents. You're you're in Arizona.So I'm licensed in Texas. So the way it works is I have to be licensed in at least one state. And I can practice on any military installation, as long as I have a license in one state. Daniel Horowitz: Got it. So here we have a red state grow governor, Greg. Um, and we have the state medical board going after a doctor for expressing concerns about the gene therapy, lipid nano particles.This is all proven in multiple peer reviewed studies that have now come now and then doing mountain. And this is an allegedly red state under Greg Abbott. And this is happening. We've had another Texas doctor who is in trouble. Um, unbelievable, unbelievable. And everyone needs to make sure that the governor and his staff hears from you.Sam Sigoloff: Just so you know, there's another army, I'm sorry, there's another military physician. I'm not going to give too many details, but this, this physician sent, sent service [00:11:00] members to a civilian doctor that was an immunologist, the civilian doctor. Who's a specialist and the civilian doctor gave these service members.An exemption to not get the jab because they, he, he determined that they're allergic to the contents of that, of the jab. And so this, the military physician took that, that paper, put it in their chart and sent it forward for those service members to get an exemption. The military physician is now under suspension and the military physician received the shock.Daniel Horowitz: Yep. In other words, he wasn't even categorically saying, look broadly at the bio weapon. Probably the thing is destroying humanity. He just said, look, I mean, at a minimum, and everyone knows this, even with the safest of shots that are studied for 10 years and have a much better track record and safety and advocacy than this, a Frankenstein, whatever it is.[00:12:00] Um, you know, the, the allergic reactions that mean that that's known that anything else and you have certain ingredients and, and that's the classic medical exemption. Um, that's been going on in the military. So is that what happened with your patients Sam Sigoloff: as well? Right, so I, I wrote, uh, my medical exemption was based on the fact that the lipid nanoparticles kind of what you just discussed.Um, there are some public documents that, where you can read more about that. Um, However, the lipid nanoparticles. If you look at their material, safety data sheet made by the manufacturer of those lipid nanoparticles, they say that they're not for medical use. They're not for veterinary use they're for research use only, and all safety relies on the end user.So if I mess up, it's my fault. It's not the company's fault. If they harm me through this, Daniel Horowitz: this product.Sam Sigoloff: It's a, it's a legal document that's placed in the Robert verse Austin affidavit. [00:13:00] Daniel Horowitz: Okay. And, and this is, um, it's not even for veterinarian youth. So they say ivermectin, the horse medicine. When the, of course it's not the human medicine. I mean, there's a few to Merck to this day for meaning, you know, millions of people in Africa,the L and P is aren't even eligible to be used in animals. Um, and you know, the, the, the toxicity issue. So my question to you is what is different about these LMPs? I mean, we do have the LNP technology to distribute certain cancers. Drug throughout the body. I mean, we have had LMPs what's stupid about Sam Sigoloff: this.So what's interesting is when I first saw the ingredient lists of Pfizer and Moderna, I looked at some Kemp compounds that I had no idea what they were, looked them up DSPC and DSP are actually in both of them. And I found a patent from 2017 and DSPC and DSP II were both patented. For the sole purpose of delivering [00:14:00] drugs through the blood-brain barrier into the brain.Now, the gestalt as physicians, um, the kind of the feeling and the thing that everyone thought was that the shot would go into your arm and stay in your arm. Then why would they add these compounds that was designed to take it to the brain? Daniel Horowitz: Yeah, I mean, Dr. Urso describes it as a garlic dispenser shaker it's designed to get.Garlic particles every last corner of your body. But Sam Sigoloff: what's more interesting about that patent is that's not where it ends. It also talks about the side effects and the problems they have with it. And then I've also found a patent from 2014 that also talks about lipid nanoparticles and how in those two combined the ideas behind them is that there are suppressed immune.From these lipid nanoparticles, there's the pseudo allergies that people are having. There's all these different problems and they don't even know how long it stays in the human body, because it's a fat soluble [00:15:00] molecule, meaning it can go into every cell. It can stay in the cell membrane of every cell in your body because every cell in your body, the membrane is made of fat.Daniel Horowitz: Um, That is pretty unbelievable to you share all this information with your superior commander, who is not a doctor. Um, and what's the reaction Sam Sigoloff: somewhere early suspended for Daniel Horowitz: allegedly defended and then the patients they had their. Uh, Sam Sigoloff: correct. So a nonmedical professional took it upon herself to practice medicine by revoking my medical exemptions.In most places in the world, we call that a felony. However, the FBI, they don't care the CID that's criminal investigation. Um, that's like FBI on post. They didn't care. In fact, I got in trouble for trying to report a serious.[00:16:00] Daniel Horowitz: So just to be clear, I mean, there's no law that they, because the military is kind of different that, you know, the commander could just say, you're getting there, you know, um, you know, your medical exemptions, not, they don't have discretion to say your medical exemptions on that. Sam Sigoloff: No, they don't, there's actually law.And I stated in one of my documents that I've supplied to the courts, um, and as part of my different defenses for various, uh, investigations that I've had against me, but there's actually law that says that if the commander disagrees with the doctor's opinion, then the commander must issue a. It's called quote, fit for duty examination.That's where the doc that's. When the doctor in the commander's opinion differ, you get someone else to evaluate, to see if this soldier is fit for duty. That was not done. You're saying that never Daniel Horowitz: happened. Never happened. You say you're concerned that the ingredients are going to cause allergic reactions.These patients, they were to be clear. These are not the religious exemptions [00:17:00] that are more carte blanche is very targeted medical exemption. You're a doctor. So you're, you're the one issuing. And they're like, screw that. You're not doing that. Um, now you were also trying to treat patients for COVID as well, because they say COVID is such a big deal, right?You need to give them an experimental shot, but then when they get COVID what's their treatment regimen, Sam Sigoloff: the treatment regimen, as it currently stands on this post is go home. Hope you don't. Now, I Daniel Horowitz: know you aren't happy with that. So Sam Sigoloff: I started giving ivermectin as there's lots of good evidence behind it.And then while ivermectin was still a Tri-Care covered benefit, meaning Tri-Care covered it. And I didn't have to have any prior authorization. It was banned from use, meaning there was a person on post that took it upon themselves to issue an order to keep lifesaving medication from going to a patient, even Daniel Horowitz: in that individual doctor.Sam Sigoloff: No, no. And, and, and on top of that, that's withholding [00:18:00] Tri-Care benefits. So someone who is not a physician was going above and beyond what Congress said is available to patients. They took it upon themselves to restrict the medical care.Since then I Remington has become a prior authorization drug, meaning Tri-Care, won't pay for it to treat COVID. Now, this is a very interesting topic that a lot of patients and even nurses, especially nurses don't seem to understand at all is. And I'm not digging it all nurses. My wife is a nurse and my wife completely understands this whole topic.So I want to make sure that I'm not digging at nurses. I'm digging at some nurses that don't understand this is because insurance doesn't pay for it. That doesn't mean the doctor can't prescribe. Exactly insurance Daniel Horowitz: doesn't and the reason insurance doesn't pay for it is the same political thing. Why they're going after doctors?I mean, it's redundant manifestation. They all got [00:19:00] together and said, they're going to declare on precedent and war on a drug. Even in worst case scenario, it would be no runs, no hits, no errors. It's an established safety profile. If you disagree, it doesn't work. This is where this type of COVID, this stage is Bergen.Okay. Whatever. But I mean, we, we, I mean, I don't, you deal with off label, heavy duty stuff all the time, all Sam Sigoloff: the time. And I've never been given an order where I can't use any medication off label for anything else in my nine years of experience. Daniel Horowitz: Seven years of experience there. Okay. So what happened with you?What, what, where, what happens with someone like you? Because right now I feel like you have a double mark on you. In other words, your military career is really it in hot water. But because of that, your ability to practice as a doctor, even as a civilian later on in life will be jeopardized as well. So where do things stand Sam Sigoloff: with you personally?And you've hit the nail right on the head. It's [00:20:00] not good enough to get me out of the middle. And they want to destroy my entire life and everything I've worked for and to help save people. Right? Cause if you take my medical license, then I'm unable to practice medicine and physicians spend the majority of their life, not doing other things so that they can learn how to practice medicine.And so our skills are kind of limited. And so they're not just trying to get me out. They want to destroy everything I've ever worked for and to prevent future patients from ever getting help for. And so, um, like I said, I'm under investigation in Texas. I'm currently trying to negotiate and I've given an offer to see if they'll, let me go.If the military will let me go and reinstate everything. As many of the concerns they had as alleged misinformation has actually come out and. We just talked about the lipid nanoparticles. I actually had a nurse in a sworn statement to give you an idea of how, how twisted this is. When I was developing these ideas, I showed a nurse and she said, where did you get those, those things saying that it [00:21:00] causes mutation of the genes?Is that from some Q research? No, this is the material data sheet from the manufacturer of the particle that we're injecting in the people. And the manufacturer says do not put in. But since the FDA said, it's fine. So we'll go stick it in people. Daniel Horowitz: So now part of the reprimand that you got, I saw the document and they go by hearsay.So, um, you're being, you're being reprimanded. They clean the people overheard you. Um, raising concerns about the vaccine. So it wasn't even just an action of that you gave this treatment or counsel people as a patient, but in conversation, is there any precedent for that? And could you just describe a little bit what happened first?Sam Sigoloff: Yeah, so I was speaking to someone and. I proceed. I perceived and do perceived and is currently a legal battle going [00:22:00] on in multiple courtrooms to find out if this is an illegal order, that soldiers are mandated or military service members are mandated to take this. Um, and so I brought that concern up with someone sitting next to me, that person sitting next to, he put her in a sworn statement.And now I have a, a memorandum of record reprimand saying, well, you. You said that this was an illegal order and that they shouldn't follow it? Yes. If it's an illegal order, no one should follow it. It's actually our duty to go against it, to go against it. Uh, there's a, there's a time in Vietnam called the mainline massacre.Those were illegal orders. They should have not been followed. There's a time in Germany where they were given illegal orders. They should not have been followed. Following orders is not a defense. Daniel Horowitz: So, you know, it's funny what your case brings out to me is what a lot of people, a lot of average people that are very well-intentioned.I think the biggest thing they couldn't understand is they say, well, we see such unanimity of opinion. All the [00:23:00] doctors seem to be saying one thing. So it must be true, but what the picture you're painting. Oh, it's obvious why they're saying, oh, one thing, because if you, Joan, what exactly happens to you? Do you get the sense that in the military, that a lot of other doctors are seeing the issues with.But they're like, I ain't doing what Dan is doing. I mean, he's going on a suicide Sam Sigoloff: mission. I think most of them will never see it because they're too spiritually blind to be able to see it. I had in a chat group, I was in on Facebook. I had a pediatric cardiologist say, it's no big deal. It's just a little bit of a mild carditis.There's no such thing as a, a mild case of myocarditis.Daniel Horowitz: And there's no guarantee that it's short-term either. And in fact, it's very likely the long-term scarring and everything. And I know, you know, we have a mutual friend in the military that was involved [00:24:00] in a patient, a very healthy pilot that out of nowhere had a stroke liver damage. Every blood panel you can imagine is messed up.He's in really, really bad. And I mean, picture a young pilot, they should, out of nowhere, she consulted with four other doctors because it touched on various different specialties and you know, all the four other one, you no evil hear no evil about the shot being in a third, you know, a few weeks prior that is not even, uh, on the radar.So it certainly is a spiritual sight. Um, where are things I know you can't tell about the details, but just in general. Um, so some of your patients, because they denied, they have court cases and you're involved in that. So you have your own core case. Sam Sigoloff: So I don't have my own, I'm a plaintiff, I'm a named plaintiff in, and you can read about that in that defender.Children's health defense, it's all public public there. Um, [00:25:00] and the court documents are all public and it clearly delineates almost date by date, time by time of everything that's happened to me to suppress my vote. And again, I'm sorry I was speaking so cryptically, but there are certain rules that I'm not allowed to speak about.So I'm referring to those so that you can post, or your listeners can, can find, um, because I can't get myself in more trouble. Um, but you know, I look at Shadrack Misha can happen. And, and they were thrown into a fiery furnace for not bowing to the low the God at the time. And for some reason, this seems that this shot is the God of the time.And we've got fast. He's saying he is science. So is he that the chief priest of this and, and to, to go against this, they'll remove everything. They'll take your military career, they'll take your medical career, they'll leave you with nothing. And, and I'd rather than. Just like Shadrack community shatter, acne, Shaq, and happen.Degas would rather go into the fire and it would have been better for them to be burned to death and never [00:26:00] walk again on the face of this earth than it would be to bounce to that false. Daniel Horowitz: Big sacrifice that a lot of people aren't willing to make. I mean, uh, just to be clear, did you get your medical education through the military?Sam Sigoloff: They paid for it. So I went to undergrad, uh, with ROTC scholarship and then I went to med school with an HPSP, which is the equivalent, um, where they pay for medical school. And so I owe until June of 2013. I'm currently, uh, submitted some negotiations or try and get my resignation. I, I did try. Daniel Horowitz: He resigned from the military.You would have to pay that back. Sam Sigoloff: Potentially. I tried to send it in. I qualified. Sorry. Go ahead. Yeah, I'm sorry. Yeah. I tried to submit a non-qualified resignation back in December and because their refusal to, to accept it allowed me enough time to actually become one of the D med whistleblowers. So I do think that was a God.I got things working in my life. [00:27:00] Daniel Horowitz: Yes. And it should be noted. You are one of the names you were willing to put your name out. There is a lot of other people we know involved in that, but three of you put your name. Now you are one of them. Um, you, that you witnessed the downloading at the time of those data, um, clinically you didn't deal with it as much because you were in a unit doctor, the others war, um, But there are a lot of people that saw that, but I think we can all understand why there are so few people like you, because again, your career is destroyed.Often you'll have to pay back all your medical education. So it's not like a lot of people are like, I'll find another job. So in the civilian world, it's hard enough, but here, you know, you, you can't Sam Sigoloff: find another job and you have no way to make money because you've lost your license. Daniel Horowitz: You put your high haven't yet.And then you've got to pay the, if you're a doctor, you've got to pay back the medical. If you're a pilot, you have to pay back the aviation training. Um, I mean, this is a huge catch 22. And, and, and look, this is where the idolatry you [00:28:00] talk about comes in, right? Because there's one thing you say, the military kind of mandates a lot of shots.Okay. We see this coming, we have a pandemic mandate, but then it went on and on and on. And, you know, I started talking about the shots in March this time of year, you know, early March, 2021. And, you know, we knew there were problems we started talking about. I could have never met. It would be quite this, that, but we learn and we see you open your Mar mind you open your heart.I didn't come with this agenda. I was never anti-vaccine before. I didn't even see this coming. It was the truth that led us here and these people refuse to see it. So that's, what's shocking after everything we see after the fact that the variants changed. So it's an expired shot. It's negative efficacy.Um, the pandemic has been declared over anyway, mainly in the civilian world. Why. Double down on this, you won't even deploy a destroyer because the commander in that case didn't have a, why would you do that? I mean, it just makes no sense, but it is [00:29:00] spiritual and that's where I wanted to end it with you.Dr. um, do you believe that this is a broader agenda? Not just about an idolatry behind the shot itself, but do you think that. Let's face it. I mean, let's talk about a mutual friend. Okay. Dr. Peter chamber, because that guy is like, you know, he reminds me of what the military used to be gotten the eighties Greenbrae doctor.I mean, that guy is like, You know, toxic masculinity all the way. I mean, that's what a man, an American special forces. And Sam Sigoloff: you obviously use that toxic ingest because real men aren't like Daniel Horowitz: that. See what it is, what men are, but what we view as heroic, heroic, and life-saving and what really preserved freedom around the world.They want people like that out of the military, do you believe [00:30:00] that this is part of the broader, more systemic problem in the military? That not just the shop mandates, but ties into CRT, social engineering and all the other stuff to kick the Christians out of the military. Sam Sigoloff: So when, when LA was in, um, the Sodom and Gomorrah and the two angels, the Lord went over and they tried to pull the city, tried to pull them.There's a lot of things going on with that story. But I think another part of the story that I've recently heard that I like that I never really thought of is it's like living in a society and in your own own home, you can do what you want. You can be in society, but not be in the world, but not of the world.And, and when they pull you out and make you participate well, now they're making you actually participate in it, like, like with the man who had to be. The Christian man who didn't want to bake a cake to participate in a, in a ceremony, but they forced him to participate. That's just like what was Sodom and Gomorrah is that being in the society and, you know, being in your own home and whatever you want, but it's not, that's not good enough anymore.[00:31:00] You actually have to say it, you have to participate in it. You have to be part of this, this bending of the knee. And to be abundantly clear, even if all of these, you know, alleged vaccines and the shots were completely safe. And let's say it was normal saline that they were sticking in. You would find me in the same place because I'm not going to bend.I follow God.Daniel Horowitz: Yeah. I mean, you sound like the type of person that a lot of the higher ups wouldn't want in the military, even divorced from that. And that's unfortunately what we're seeing and you know, it, it ties into that's why you have the CRT curriculum. And things like that because they want to shove it on. You make it, that you have to participate in that curriculum.So this is just the latest, most immediate way of thinning the herd. It's a way to get all the shares. What, I don't understand your sheep dog. You're you're you're about my age. [00:32:00] What I don't understand is people our age. And then certainly, I mean, gosh, that people going into the military, you know, in the pipeline would be half our age.It's certainly you get younger who would want to join the military of that ilk. That's what I don't understand. Sam Sigoloff: I don't know. And I know my, my son he's, he's fairly young. He's less than 10. And you know, he sees daddy coming home in uniform and he's, he wants to wear his chemo. You know, it looked like daddy is he's not going to be allowed to go in the military ever because the, the trust that that maybe was there, or maybe I was just too naive to see that there shouldn't have been trust, the trust is completely broken because you have these documents that say, oh, it's mandated, they're mandated to get an FDA approved.And then they, they do this shit quick shift where they say, oh, but you can volunteer to take anything. Now we're going to punish people who didn't volunteer. Because there is no FDA approved community. It doesn't exist. It's never been created. [00:33:00] Daniel Horowitz: Yup. And a part of the judge has said that they're agreed that legally they're not the same.Um, you know, you can say whatever you want scientifically, but then, okay. So then give full approval to the one that's out, but they didn't well, Sam Sigoloff: and Pfizer also, if you look at their, if you look at Pfizer's documents, they have three different. Vials out there that have a different color, top orange, gray, and purple.And there are different ingredients in each one. And the ones that they say are inactive ingredients. How do we know? How do we know they're actually inactive and they're not actually causing problems? We don't know. One of them is diluted. One of them is not why is there so much variability in one company, Daniel Horowitz: one company.Generate the variability and outcomes and why we're seeing so many different outcomes. Some people not have problems. Some people have mild problems, some people die. And, uh, we have the AMA document from the foyer court decision there. We've [00:34:00] got the foyer documents that demonstrate at least a half a dozen different dosage levels too.They're not all 30 micrograms from, uh, Pfizer. I mean, and that might shed some light on why. More issues than others. I mean, this is, this is crazy. I mean, even the most minimal things that we know already, which portend a greater problem, but even if that greater thing is, is, is not true, uh, just what we know already make this in moral again, it's over, it's outdated.It's we have negative ethicacy. Um, and just for Sam Sigoloff: the listeners, just for the listeners, the negative efficacy, because we hear a safe and effective, safe, and effective. And when they say safe and effective, there's, there's a wide definition for effective. And one of them can be, it's easy to administer. So it's easy to for healthcare providers to administer, but efficacious is a completely different word.And it means how well does it work? And negative efficacy means you actually have a greater risk of infection than if you didn't get. [00:35:00] Meaning it offers no protection. Daniel Horowitz: All the data we have now demonstrates that they could say they're confounders, but we certainly don't have data affirmatively showing the other way.So, you know, the countries like the UK that are putting out weekly reports, that is what. Um, and, uh, you know, I know, uh, we have data from the Texas national guard. We've seen negative efficacy, uh, in the military specifically, just to close out that segment here. Can you give me your broad picture on what military families are doing?What, what has changed in then the last year or two? How is this going to reverberate? Um, cause personally I never joined the military, so I didn't have that emotional attachment. And I was already saying during Obama's time, I said, I would never let a child join the military. There's there's huge problems there.Um, but you know, there's people that had it in their bloodline, they kept, you know, uh, signing up [00:36:00] even over the last decade. Where do you see that recruitment headed board? Sam Sigoloff: I there's people still going in today. I don't, I don't know. Where they're living that they're missing all of this. Um, and maybe they don't have a problem with all this.Um, but I think medicine and the military are going the same direction and it's a complete shattering of all trustDaniel Horowitz: medicine and military. It's a very powerful statement. I mean, he can't do it. Without both in a society. And that's how you have a nuclear attack on your own civilization, medicine, and military. So in other words, could I take it Dr. Sigler, that you agree with? My premise and today's column, we have more problems than just needing an extra 5% approach.So above inflation for FYI 2023 in the military. Sam Sigoloff: Oh, we could talk for another couple of hours on, on the potential problems of the future. Daniel Horowitz: It's all about [00:37:00] dollars and cents. Just give it defense contractors, more money, and it's all good. Military is in good shape.https://www.truthforhealth.org Please see the new Citizens' Vaccine Injury Reporting System (in English, Spanish and Chinese) https://www.truthforhealth.org/vaccine-injury-report/ Email: afterhours@1791.comInstagram: @afterhourswithdrsigoloffClouthub: @DrSigoloffTruthSocial: @DrSigoloff

If you're looking into becoming a medical professional, but are unsure of how to pay for the programs, this episode is for you! During Matt's first year of medical school, he realized that $80k of debt per year was going to set him back far further than he was willing to put up with. When he realized that most other students had alternative ways of paying for medical school, Matt began doing his homework on scholarships. Matt found the Health Professions Scholarship Program (HPSP) through the U.S. Navy. This program enabled him to complete the remaining three years completely for free, and in addition was even getting paid every month to go to school! Matt talks about his experience with the program, what he wish he knew beforehand and all the benefits and costs that weren't obvious to him when he originally signed up. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/militarybottomline/support

What about really sick kids? Since we are in the age of the COVID we need to understand that children can have some very serious , albeit thankfully very rare, complications with a SARS CoV2 infection. But that said the American Academy of Pediatrics is strongly behind reopening schools because of all of the other positive impacts on children that schools have on them. Further the issue of dealing with hospitalized children and those with serious critical illness touches any rational person deeply. How do pediatricians deal with such things? What about the pediatricians who deal regularly with children who die from their illnesses. How do they cope with that?

So here he is, after years of trying to find a pediatrician to opine about the specialty, Neil Copeland, MD; pediatrician. Neil is the first purposeful pediatrician on Rotations. If I sound gleeful it’s because I am. Pediatricians are notoriously hard to get to commit to interviews… John does a really good job of sorting out the process of getting through a pediatric residency but his comments are germane to any medical specialty. He also gives a great intro to the things that pediatricians do and the things that all good physicians should be doing prior to referring to a pediatrician. That makes this interview highly relevant to Family Physicians as well. Also, I hope you understand that the term “veterinary medicine” is an inside joke among physicians. It has nothing to do with our general love for managing children as patients. Babies can’t talk and so… …sometimes I find myself wondering why I have to explain this but we live in a hypersensitive time so there is the disclaimer. I also imagine that I will ruffle feathers with my initial comments about disaster management but I will ask that you indulge me. A lot of "expert" opinions get shot out into social media and misinform people who look at physicians as “experts” in things. That creates chaos and is not aligned with the calling of academics. I hope that a lot of young physicians consider going into administrative medicine after they get a decade or so of experience in actual clinical practice. You have to understand tactics and operations to become an effective strategic leader. The only practical way to gain that understanding is to spend a long-time practicing medicine. I would encourage you to register and take courses with FEMA’s Emergency Management Institute. It will address some of the concerns that I mentioned in the beginning of this episode. https://training.fema.gov/ FEMA https://www.fema.gov/ For those of you willing to wear another type of uniform and leave medical school without debt, Neil discussed the HPSP program, his time at Joint Base Elmendorf Richardson and how we both like working with mid-levels.

Text PREORDER to 44222 to get notified with instructions on how to get on this. Back to today's episode, I will be interviewed by Ian Drummond, a fourth year medical student and the host of The Undifferentiated Medical Student podcast. Ian interviewed me back in Episode 24 of his podcast about aerospace medicine and I'm playing a part of his interview with me specifically relating to aerospace medicine. [03:29] What is Aerospace Medicine? AAMC's Careers in Medicine didn't actually have a description of aerospace medicine although it was listed under Preventive Medicine. Ian, however, will refer to this description provided by the Aerospace Medical Association and we will take it from there. "Aerospace medicine concerns the determination and maintenance of the health, safety, and performance of persons involved in air and space travel. Aerospace Medicine, as a broad field of endeavor, offers dynamic challenges and opportunities for physicians, nurses, physiologists, bioenvironmental engineers, industrial hygienists, environmental health practitioners, human factors specialists, psychologists, physician assistants, and other professionals. Those in the field are dedicated to enhancing health, promoting safety, and improving performance of individuals who work or travel in unusual environments. The environments of space and aviation provide significant challenges, such as microgravity, radiation exposure, G-forces, emergency ejection injuries, and hypoxic conditions, for those embarking in their exploration. Areas of interest range from space and atmospheric flight to undersea activities. The environments studied cover a wide spectrum extending from the microenvironments of space to the increased pressures of undersea activities. Increased knowledge of these unique environments of “Spaceship Earth” helps aerospace medicine professionals ensure participants are physically prepared, physiologically safe, and perform at the highest levels." [05:28] Building Trust and Relationships with Patients I agree with all of it as a great representation from the organization. One of the biggest things missing which is unique to aerospace medicine is the relationships with patients. In fact, it is a huge factor in aerospace medicine which I think deserves its own call out there. I will speak specifically to the Air Force although it's pretty similar for the army and navy which also have civilian flight surgeons. There are AME's (Aviation Medical Examiner) out in the real world that do physical exams for pilots. There is a civilian equivalent, just a little bit different for the military. For the military, specifically for pilots, they usually go and see the flight surgeon for a few things. One is the mandatory annual physical examination (crossing their fingers that nothing is found). Second, if something is really wrong and they need help. Typically, a pilot doesn't want to go and see the flight surgeon outside of those two things because every visit to the flight surgeon is an opportunity to lose their wings, which means they would no longer be able to fly. Because a flight surgeon has that control to make sure pilots and other people interacting with aircraft are safe operating the aircraft, it's their job to make sure that if they have any medical condition, we have to determine if they should continue flying or not. As a flight surgeon, I was a rated flyer where I got to wear a flight suit and had wings. I was required to fly four hours a month to be part of the air crew to build that rapport and build that trust. I went for an MRI one day because I was having some symptoms and I got diagnosed with MS so eventually I was no longer allowed to go up in an airplane for the Air Force. Because of that fine line between being allowed to fly and have your career or you're not allowed to fly out anymore, it's such an important relationship to have that trust and rapport. It's one of the best parts about being a flight surgeon. There could be cases they're lying and hiding things from us, like a cat and mouse game, because they want to fly. They love their jobs and they love the camaraderie that comes with it and everything else so it's a large part of who they are. Personally, I thought it was a stupid rule that I got grounded. MS is one of those weird things for aerospace medicine. The Israeli Air Force lets their pilots with MS fly. Ours is less progressive so they worry more about the cognitive decline since 75% of MS patients have some sort of cognitive deficit and that's what worries them. I did argue for a while but I lost. [11:32] Flying the Plane There are a couple of caveats here. In the navy, flight surgeons go through some of the pilot training courses. The army may do it like the air force where you go through a little bit of ground pilot school. For instance, they get to ride in a small Cessna plane and fly to see what it's like. The whole point of the flight surgeon is to make sure that pilot and other people can do their job so you have to understand what they're going through. Then you get to see how much there is to do. I have my private pilot license. I have always been fascinated with airplanes so when I had the opportunity to get my private pilot license, I jumped on that. As a flight surgeon where I had to fly four hours a month, it meant being part of the aircrew. So the majority of aircraft that I was in were bigger airplanes so I would just hang out in the back or in the cockpit but not actually controlling anything. Sometimes I would talk on the radio and help them with the radio stuff. The one time I got to fly something was in the backseat of an F-16 because the controls are right there. When you have wings, it means you're in some way affiliated with the airplane. So it's not just the pilots, but also, load masters, navigators, flight surgeons, etc. having wings is just a designation that you're like a "real" Air Force and you're part of the plane considering there are other jobs in the air force that have nothing to do with planes (ex. bus driver, cook, etc.) [16:08] Civilian Physician vs. Air Force Physician When you're, say a Primary Care physician, there is almost never this thought about what job a patient does or can they continue to do it. It's usually the patient that asks for some time off because they don't want to work. But as a flight surgeon, that's always the first question at the top of my mind. I have to know what your job is and whether or not you can continue to do it. So if you're a pilot and you come in with a knee pain and I know that if an engine goes out and you need to push full rudder to keep the plane straight and land it, you're probable not going to be able to do that with how bad your knee is. So you can be grounded for a week or two to make sure your knees are better and then come back and see me to reevaluate. *There is no such term as a "flight surgery" but it's an old name that's been held out for a long time. The actual practice is aerospace medicine and there are aerospace medicine residencies but you are a "flight surgeon" as an aerospace medicine specialist. There is flying but there is no surgery and there's definitely no surgery while flying. [18:44] A Typical Weekly Routine and Patient Types A typical week for a flight surgeon is an ambulatory setting where you're seeing patients depending on what based your stationed at as an active duty flight surgeon. In some bases, you see dependents (the family members of the active duty member) while in others, you see retirees. So the types of patients you're seeing vary but you're seeing normal clinical stuff. You're seeing a lot of occupational health visits. When a pilot comes in for their annual flight physical exam, it's an occupational physical where you check their vision, hearing, and other things making sure their healthy. But a lot of them are occupational-based which means making sure they meet the qualifications for continued flying. If seeing dependents and retirees, flight surgeons are basically a family practice physician so family members are treated for normal aches, pains, and colds, etc. Depending on where you're at, 50% is seeing patients and another 50% is hanging out with air crew and building rapport, doing "shop visits." As a flight surgeon, you're an occupational health physician so if your base has airplanes and you're visiting the flying squadron to make sure things look good there and the facilities are clean. You go to the maintenance squadron and make sure people working on the airplanes are keeping a clean environment and not working with lead-based paint and bring it into their offices and where they eat. You're simply making sure the base stays healthy. So you're basically outside of the clinic a lot of times and interacting with the rest of the base population which keeps things varied and you get a lot of diversity. When you go to site visits, it's like carrying a clipboard with a checklist like making sure they keep separate wipes for their masks or have separate sinks for different things. So a lot of the things are structured that way while some of it is just using your intuition and question-asking skills. Usually, you go out with a team consisting of public health or bio environmental engineering while you're focused on the health side So it's a very collaborative team-based approach. [23:16] Flight Surgeon as a General Practitioner 50% of the time, a flight surgeon is basically a practitioner except of the military. Also, a large majority of flight surgeons are general practitioners which means they're only internship-trained. This is the way the Air Force gets flight surgeons wherein a lot of them are fresh out of their internship. There are also a lot of flight surgeons with residency training, like OB/GYN, Orthopedics, Family Medicine, or Internal Medicine. You can actually have any specialty and be a flight surgeon if you choose to. And if you have specialty training and become a flight surgeon, you have to go through all the aerospace medicine training before becoming a flight surgeon because it's unique and different. Aerospace medicine is a subspecialty available to everyone in the military. They usually need flight surgeons so there are several physicians that jump ship from their specialty and subspecialty and come over to the aerospace medicine world. [24:50] Patient Outcomes Typical outcomes would be just like a family practice doctor where you're seeing people with their aches and pains, sniffles, and flu so you're treating an acute thing for a week or two and grounding them for a week or two and then they come and see you and things are better. Although there are also some unique things that could happen like somebody losing their vision or has a random new diagnosis. There are a lot of bad things that can happen to cause somebody to lose their wings. As a flight surgeon, you also take care of firefighters, which is another big occupational health job. The outcomes are usually normal healthy people but when you get those random diagnosis, it's a life-changer. [26:23] Most Exciting and Most Mundane about Aerospace Medicine The most exciting is being able to go out and be part of the aircrew and fly around the world or fly an F-16 or do all sorts of missions, experiencing what the rest of the base is doing. Conversely, the most mundane part is dealing with normal aches and pains like dealing with blood pressure management or diabetes management, basically the boring normal doctor stuff. [27:10] Wish I've Known About the Specialty When I got the call to say I was going to be a flight surgeon, I didn't know what it was. When I was in it and now that I'm out of it, I don't think there's really anything that I had wished I had known about other than I wish I would have known about it. Consider doing aerospace medicine especially those who are on an HPSP scholarship. It's an amazing job and there are so many things you can do. Even if you're interested in a specialty, go be a flight surgeon for a couple of years and then go live the rest of your life. The stories I can tell now, having been a flight surgeon, are going to stay with me forever. [28:40] What is HPSP Scholarship? HPSP refers to Health Professions Scholarship Program that offers about 150 scholarships a year where you get into medical school and you apply for the scholarship. Once you get accepted, they pay for medical school and then you owe them a year for a year of scholarship, where you can do a 3-year or 4-year scholarship. [29:28] Combat, Non-Combat, and AME's Because it's more of a military-based career, I will divide this into a non-combat and combat. As a non-combat flight surgeon, depending on where you're stationed, you can be stationed anywhere throughout the world. You can be stationed at a place without planes. But majority of your job is to make sure that the population of that base is healthy. It's always an ambulatory setting. There would be no need for an in-patient hospital-based flight surgeon. When you're deployed in a combat setting, you can run different parts of the medical evacuation triage tents and stations along the way. When somebody gets injured in combat, they're evaluated and triaged to see if they need to be evacuated out to a bigger hospital or if they can just be treated where they are. As flight surgeon doing that evaluation and determining what kind of aircraft they need to fly on, meaning is this an injury that is going to get worse at altitude or do they need at low altitude, do they need to be in a helicopter and stay low or stay in an unpressurized aircraft at a low altitude. So you're basically doing a lot of cool triage in trying to figure out what's best for the patient based on aircraft, altitude, and other things. An AME is an Aviation Medical Examiner, a designation where you get certified through the FAA. As an AME, you're usually a family practice doctor or an internal medicine doctor or somebody interested in aviation. It's a cool job because it's usually a cash-based business. You can see Class 1, 2, and 3 pilots which need a certain number of physical exams depending on the class. You have to go through FAA training which is free. The population of AME's has significantly decreased over time so it's now getting more difficult for pilots to find an AME and get their physical exams. An AME is very similar to a flight surgeon where there are strict guidelines that determine whether or not you're able to fly and bases your evaluation on those guidelines and makes recommendations based on that. FAA training is not the same as an aerospace medicine residency. It's a week to two-week long course that the FAA puts on. You can be a flight surgeon at NASA. I've been down to the space center in Houston and visited the world's largest swimming pool where the astronauts do all their training for weightlessness. And as a flight surgeon in the air force, I did see people that wanted to be astronauts and I would do their initial physical exams before they would go down to Houston to get their full physical. [36:15] Pilot Physician Moreover, you could be a Pilot-Physician of which the Air Force gives 20 spots. A student I'm working with is in the Air Force right now and wants to go back to medical school but she's also a pilot, not in the Air Force but she is a private pilot with 600 hours and she flew with the academy on their stunt team. They typical path for a pilot physician is you're a pilot and if for some reason you get interested in medicine and you go to medical school and you still want to be in the military, you become a pilot physician. So you're a physician first but you have the pilot training and usually, you're doing a lot more higher level things than just seeing patients in a clinic but you're looking at a lot of the regulations being written, research into new technologies, etc. Since there are only 20 slots in the Air Force, it's a highly sought-after position and because there are not enough pilots are going on to be physicians, they're looking for physicians that may be interested in going into pilot training through the air force to be pilot physicians. I did look into this but I didn't pass the age requirement. I was too old to start since 29 is the oldest to start the training and I was already 30 or 31. The Air Force is taking any physician but you obviously have to go through their aerospace medicine training at some point. The unique thing a pilot physician offers is the research and more of having the deep knowledge base and foundation of having both careers under your belt and being able to make those regulations and see things from both sides. [39:56] The Biggest Challenge and the Future of Aerospace Medicine One of the biggest challenges of aerospace medicine is that a lot of people don't understand us so there is much pressure for us to start doing more and seeing different types of patients. Apparently, there is a lot of misunderstanding from the greater Air Force of what our job is. What the future holds for aerospace medicine in 10-20 years would be that as we go to more and more autonomous aircraft, where we have drones, majority now are remotely piloted. They are not unmanned aircraft, they're manned, just in a different location. Because of that, interest in aerospace medicine will go down. Part of the lure is being able to go fly and so why would you be doing it if there is no plane to fly. There could also be unique psychological challenges that come into play for drone pilots. We're going to fighter planes (F-22 and F-35) that are only single-seat planes, which means the flight surgeon can't go up there and the less experience they get. There will be the heavier aircraft like the C-5 and C-17 and re-fuelers. [44:35] Final Words Aerospace medicine is an awesome and great job! Although pretty much specific to the military, there are civilian residencies for aerospace medicine. For this podcast, I'm not going to dive into all medical specialties in the military for two reasons. First, the practice of Pediatrics in the military is not very different than pediatrics in the civilian world and really, there aren't that many military premeds out there to warrant individual episodes. I'm a huge advocate for doing the military to pay for medical school and to serve but I don't think I'm going to dive into it here on the Specialty Stories.

Session 01 Welcome to the first episode of the Specialist Stories podcast, sharing with you stories of specialists from every field to give you the information you need to make sure you make the most informed decision possible when it comes to choosing your specialty. This podcast is hosted by Dr. Ryan Gray where he will interview different physicians from various specialties to help medical students and premedical students get different perspectives on what led them to their career path. The Specialist Stories podcast is part of the MedEd Media Network where you will find all of our other shows. In this week's episode, Ryan talks with Dr. Michelle Hure, a dermatopathologist who has her own solo practice in her community. A brief look into Ryan's background: Ryan went to medical school wanting to be an orthopedic surgeon and he came out of medical school (through an HPSP scholarship from the Air Force) knowing that orthopedic surgery was right for him. Unfortunately the Air Force had different plans for him. So he ultimately did not practice orthopedics and went on as a flight surgeon. Here are the highlights of the conversation with Dr. Hure: When Michelle knew she wanted to be a dermatologist: From an interest in trauma surgery to dermatopathology Realizing the need for work-life balance Coming to a point of not wanting to do until her 4th years during rotation What she likes about her specialty: Changing people's lives and curing cancer Getting to do surgery Being able to get home at 5 Making use of her brain everyday What a dermatopathologist does: Two routes: Dermatology residency Pathology residency As a pathologist, it involves diagnosing conditions or interpreting biopsies that is key to a patient's treatment plan. You are the doctor's doctor Can do both clinical and pathology A day in the life of Michelle: Reading slides of biopsies she has taken personally or those from other doctors Seeing patients at 10 am Traits that lead to being a good dermatopathologist: Open mindedness: Being able to think of different possibilities and looking at slides without any biases Knowledge of clinical history and clinical medicine Curiosity Openness to different differential diagnosis A lot of thinking and investigation What makes a competitive applicant to dermatology and dermatopathology: Dermatopathology is very tough to get into since there aren't many programs so programs available are highly competitive. Be always in your game. Walk the extra mile. Do rotations in a place you're really interested in doing your residency as well as your fellowships. Be willing to take initiative. What residency was like for her: Collaboration as an important piece Pick a residency at the particular institution where that fellowship is to have a higher chance of getting in. What she wished she knew going into dermatology/dermatopathology: It's possible to have a family early on. Family comes first, residency and fellowship come second What she wished primary care providers knew more about dermatopathology: Training in dermatology and pathology What Michelle likes most about being a dermatopathologist: Intellectual stimulation Patient interaction Surgery Being able to cure cancer What she likes the least about her practice: Dealing with insurance companies If she had to do it all over again, would she choose another specialty? No, not at all. What is the future of dermatopathology? The pressure of being more noticeable to people so that biopsies must be done by experts in the field and not just "general" pathologists - It's not about money, it's about patient care! The saturation of the field Some pieces of advice to those wanting to be a dermatopathologist: Look for work-life balance. You have to be happy with the specialty you pick. In dermatology or pathology, you will do well money-wise, but you're also going to have a good work-life balance, which is one of the most important things you need to consider in going to a particular field. Pick a specialty that you're going to do well in and you're going to be happy with.

Session 13 Each week, Ryan and Rich directly pull up a question from the forums over at OldPreMeds.org as they deliver the best answers right on to you. If you have questions you want answered here on the OldPremeds Podcast, go to oldpremeds.org and register for an account. This week's topic is on Early Decision, whether it be a wise decision to apply for it and weighing out between its risk and reward. OldPreMeds Question of the Week: The poster is deciding if they should apply for Early Decision in the current city they live and also wanting to apply for the HPSP scholarship. What are the pros and cons? Here are the insights from Ryan & Rich: What is Early Decision? It is a program by some medical schools typically designed for students who: Are very strong candidates Have a strong geographic connection to the school Make a strong case why they be a good fit for that school When you apply for it, it means you have committed on the AMCAS application to only apply to that school until a decision is made. The risk of early decision: This raises an issue that if the decisions do not come out by October and if you don't get accepted the Early Decision, you have now set yourself back for all the other medical schools to apply to. Major takeaway from this episode: Rich recommends: Do not consider early decision unless you are extremely strong, have extremely good geographic connection to the area, and you are a good fit for that school. How are you a good fit for that school? Specific on the school's mission such as role in medicine, primary care, or some other aspect that you can show that would make you a good fit. Ryan recommends: Do not apply for an early decision because the risk is higher than the reward.
