I thought of you late last night, As sleep eluded me. Sweet dreams are a thing of past, Your memory tortures me.

Welcome to a special Memorial Day Tribute of Difficult Conversations - Lessons I Learned as an ICU Physician. This week,  we will pause and take a moment to honor the men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country and to also remember our commitment to all of those who have served. This week I chose to replay a previous interview with the  Honorable Dr. David Shulkin, who was the 9th Secretary of the US Dept of Veteran Affairs. He was nominated by President Trump to serve his cabinet. Prior to serving as Secretary of the VA, he served as Under Secretary for Health under President Obama.  Dr. Shulkin represented 21 million American veterans and was responsible for the nation’s largest integrated healthcare system with over 1,200 sites of care, serving over 9 million Veterans.  Prior to coming to the VA, Secretary Shulkin was a widely respected healthcare executive having served as Chief Executive of leading hospitals and health systems such as Beth Israel in New York City and Morristown Medical Center in New Jersey.  His book, It Shouldn’t Be This Hard to Serve Your Country: Our Broken Government and the Plight of Veterans. is one of the best books about our VA System ever written. Dr. Orsini mentions his first encounter with Dr. Shulkin, and remembered how genuine, down to earth, extremely friendly, and very engaging he was. We find out what made Dr. Shulkin take the medicine path and what led him into the leadership role. Dr. Shulkin tells us the single most difficult conversation that he had, and he gives us advice on his approach to communicating bad news. There are so many problems with medical education training right now with communication, and Dr. Shulkin shares with us how we can fix this. Dr. Shulkin’s dedication in his book impressed Dr. Orsini, and he talks about his dad, who was a psychiatrist on an Army base, and if he influenced him in any way. We learn about when he takes on his new position as Under Secretary at the VA in 2015, and what he realized he had in front of him with the wait time issues that were going on. Also, we find how he fixed the issue so quickly. Since he served with both Trump and Obama, we find out the game plan he had to navigate through the two different environments and succeed at it.  Dr. Shulkin has been called the “Champion of Patient Experience ” and he shares with us how he was able to start the Patient Experience Program at the VA. Telemedicine is discussed and whether or not it’s here to stay or if we keep doing more and more Telemedicine, if we’re going to miss that patient relationship. Host: Dr. Anthony OrsiniGuest: Dr. David ShulkinFor More Information:The Orsini WayThe Orsini Way-FacebookThe Orsini Way-LinkedinThe Orsini Way-InstagramThe Orsini Way-TwitterIt’s All In The Delivery: Improving Healthcare Starting With A Single Conversation by Dr. Anthony OrsiniResources Mentioned:David J.

There is so much I can say about the poet and essayist Leah Purpura. I’ll give this brief introduction, Lia was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award, the writer in residence at the University of Maryland, and has been published in all the notable places. I read her two most recent works, It Shouldn’t Have Been Beautiful, a book of poems, and All the Fierce Tethers, a book of essays, and was graced by her mastery of language and reverence for the awe and wonder in the details. Our conversation does not disappoint, Lia is wise, poetic, and enjoys the same teeter totter I do; playful with serious matters and serious about playful matters, balanced on the fulcrum of loving presence.

Andy talks about what should be happening with the presidential transition right now in terms of managing the pandemic. Former Trump VA Secretary David Shulkin provides expertise on how a typical transition goes — and the cost of President Trump’s refusal to concede. David was there for the Obama-Trump transition and details how he sees today's norm-shattering process playing out. The saving grace, as Andy points out, is that President-Elect Biden knows his way around the White House blindfolded.    Keep up with Andy on Twitter @ASlavitt and Instagram @andyslavitt.   Follow David Shulkin on Twitter @DavidShulkin.   In the Bubble is supported in part by listeners like you.

Lia Purpura is the author of nine collections of essays, poems, and translations, including It Shouldn’t Have Been Beautiful and All the Fierce Tethers. In this narrated essay, Lia bears witness to the decomposing body of a deer and considers stories of “rightness”: the processes which transform bodies from one state to another and the beginnings that emerge from endings.

Telehealth, a long overdue technology, is the need of the hour today. Historic legislations are passed, and Billions of dollars are committed by the government to prepare health practitioners deliver virtual care. But is the healthcare ecosystem ready for a change? And if so, can it scale in a sustainable manner? Let’s find out.Our guest today, Dr David Shulkin, is an experienced healthcare professional who has served the United States as a Secretary of Veteran Affairs. In 2017, he was unanimously confirmed to lead the Department of Veterans Affairs after serving as an undersecretary during President Obama’s tenure. He has a lot of hands-on experience with telehealth that is used across the VA’s own health system of over 1,200 hospitals and clinics across the country. Dr Shulkin has a medical degree from the Medical College of Pennsylvania and has held leadership roles with multiple hospitals and healthcare systems. He has also authored the book, ‘It Shouldn’t be this hard to serve your country’.My goal today is to discuss the alignment gaps and challenges that lie ahead of us in adopting technology in health care sector; and how will healthcare begin to change after we recover from the unprecedented corona virus crisis.

This week John speaks with Dr. David Shulkin, former US Secretary for Veterans Affairs and Chief Innovation Officer for Sanford Health. Dr. Shulkin shares with us his passion for the advocacy of veterans and the importance of public transparency. He speaks on the impact of behavioral health in veterans and shares what he worked on to address this problem. He also discusses his new book, It Shouldn’t Be This Hard to Serve Your Country; Our Broken Government and the Plight of Veterans.

Dear Friends & Colleagues,A common characteristic of the guests I invite on this podcast is their courage in and commitment to creating unprecedented positive change in healthcare. They don’t just do things right, they do the right things. And, while the content in these interviews centers on transforming healthcare, there are also lessons on humanistic leadership woven throughout. That’s not a coincidence because the act of reframing - of creative disruption - requires that type of leadership. Our guest this week, Secretary David Shulkin, exemplifies courageous, transformational, principled-based leadership. Dr. Shulkin served as a member of President Trumps’ cabinet, as the 9th Secretary of the US Department of Veterans Affairs. Previous to that he served under President Obama as Under-Secretary for Health. In both positions, he was confirmed by a unanimous Senate vote - an unusual testament to his competence and integrity. Prior to entering the government, Secretary Shulkin had a long distinguished career in the private sector. He served as CEO at Beth Israel Hospital in NYC and Morristown Medical Center in Northern NJ; and also held senior leadership positions at distinguished institutions such as the University of Pennsylvania Health System and the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. He has been named as one of the Top 100 Physician Leaders by Becker’s Hospital Review and one of the “50 Most Influential Physician Executives in the Country” by Modern Healthcare and Modern Physician. He has also been named by Modern Healthcare as one of the “One Hundred Most Influential People in American Healthcare”. Secretary Shulkin recently published a book entitled, ‘It Shouldn’t Be This Hard To Serve Your Country’, a memoir of his experience serving under two US Presidents. In this interview, you’ll hear:The important and unique role the VA system serves for military veterans, as well as its contributions to our larger healthcare system.The bold leadership maneuvers that Dr. Shulkin deployed to solve for immediate national VA healthcare crises and to navigate the entrenched culture of a slow moving and highly political bureaucracy.The lessons that Dr. Shulkin believes the US healthcare system can adapt from the VA.How Dr. Shulkin initiated the modernization of the VA system through the single largest electronic medical record (EMR) deployment in history.One of the major reframes that Dr. Shulkin introduced into the VA system, which was a shift from being a “pure provider of care” to becoming the “network coordinator of care”.The remarkable characteristics of Dr. Shulkin’s leadership approach are apparent in this episode. First - he focused on solving specific, patient-facing healthcare problems such as improving access to care and eliminating hepatitis C. Second - he fearlessly made decisions based on principles and evidence, followed with swift action. I say “fearless”because he was acting in a pathologically political environment, and many of the decisions he made were followed by highly publicized personal attacks on his character and integrity. Third - he focused on delivering measurable and meaningful outcomes, with a relentless push to transparency.  For me, the main story here is about a high-integrity, humanistic leadership approach coupled with a results-oriented, outcomes-based management style - singularly focused on creating unprecedented and differentiating value for patients and healthcare consumers. It seems ironic that we find one of the most brilliant examples of ‘consumer-obsessed’ leadership in the government-run VA system. Yet, there it is. I’d like to conclude these notes with a very personal message of gratitude.  I would like to sincerely and publicly thank our Veterans for their service and their sacrifice. I had the opportunity to spend the first seven years of my medical career providing care to Veterans at the Bronx VA Hospital in NYC. It was an experience that shaped my perspective and professional trajectory, leaving me with an indelible sense of humanistic mission and purpose.Until Next Time, Be Well.Zeev Neuwirth MD

In this episode, Neil, Natalia, and Niki discuss the children rescued from a Thai cave, the Trump administration’s approach to breastfeeding policy, and the fleece vests that have become a staple uniform of the finance industry. Support Past Present on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/pastpresentpodcast Here are some links and references mentioned during this week’s show: A Thai boys’ soccer team was rescued from a flooded cave as the world watched. Niki referred to comedian Stephen Colbert linking the rescue to the Trump administration’s family separation policy. She also commented on the longstanding media fascination with stories of being trapped underground; Natalia commented on how the trope shows up in literature, such as Edgar Allan Poe’s 1846 story, “The Cask of Amontillado,” and Neil mentioned it as a theme of the Netflix show, “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,” a program we discussed on Episode 30. The Trump administration shocked many when it moved to weaken an international breastfeeding resolution. Natalia recommended Suzanne Barston’s book Bottled Up: How the Way We Feed Babies Has Come to Define Motherhood, and It Shouldn’t, historian Jessica Martucci’s Back to the Breast: Natural Motherhood and Breastfeeding in America, and her own article at the Society for U.S. Intellectual History Blog. The Instagram parody account @midtownuniform has brought attention to a new sartorial staple of the Wall Street set: the fleece vest. Natalia cited this Wall Street Journal article on the finance-industry fashion of the show Billions. In our regular closing feature, What’s Making History: Natalia recommended Dan Nosowitz’s Atlas Obscura article, “Why Are There Palm Trees in Los Angeles?” Neil discussed the origins of 911 telephone service and its racist misuses which he wrote about for the Huffington Post. Niki spoke about Joe Heim’s Washington Post article, “Sacred Ground: Now Reclaimed: A Charlottesville Story.”

[...] From the uncomfortable silence of the psyche’s tundra, Arvio wrings out her truth."Lia Purpurais the author of seven collections of essays, poems and translations, most recently,Rough Likeness(essays) andKing Baby(poems). Her new collection of poems,It Shouldn't Have Been Beautiful, comes out next year with Viking Penguin.
