Significant underreporting of mental health conditions is known to be widespread throughout the aviation industry. In this episode, we will review the signs and symptoms of mental illness and explore ways that pilots may self-report any mental health issues they may be experiencing. We will discuss how flight instructors can be alert to the signs and symptoms of mental illness, and we will explain how to remove the stigma that surrounds mental health issues. We will highlight reporting systems that are designed to maintain confidentiality while ensuring that individuals receive the necessary support while taking appropriate measures to ensure flight safety.   Dr. Victor Vogel is a board-certified and fellowship-trained medical oncologist specializing in breast cancer prevention and treatment.

Dr. Michael Fingerhood is a professor of medicine and public health at Johns Hopkins University and chief of the Division of Addiction Medicine at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center. In this episode, he shares his early experiences in medical school in the Bronx and how stigma within the medical community influenced his decision to pursue a career in addiction medicine. Dr. Fingerhood continues to combat stigma related to addiction, including through the Words Matter Pledge initiative. Dr. Fingerhood discusses the importance of raising awareness about stigma related to addiction, including through the practice of integrated care rather than siloing care. Dr. Fingerhood also talks about patients' self-assigned stigma, undoing shame and blame, and the importance of coping skills and strategies. He shares that, for him, helping patients in this way within the primary care setting is powerful. Dr. Fingerhood discusses the importance of teaching and training others – including students, residents, and fellows – to treat addiction and how the net of impact is widened through this process. Dr. Fingerhood is very active in his community, treating addiction and addressing associated stigma in various ways, and he shares how and why these activities are so important to him. He recalls the first patient for whom he prescribed buprenorphine – she is still his patient decades later! – and he offers advice for others interested in or joining the field of addiction medicine. Dr. Fingerhood grew up in Brooklyn, NY, and his Brooklyn accent still comes out at times. He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from The Johns Hopkins University and his Medical Degree from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, NY. His experiences in the Bronx helped shape his interest in addiction medicine. He completed internal medicine training and a chief resident year at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center. The mission of Dr. Fingerhood's career has been to promote and improve the provision of medical care to patients with substance use disorder, including the treatment of HIV and hepatitis C, with the development, maintenance, and evaluation of innovative programs related to the care of these individuals. Dr. Fingerhood created the Comprehensive Care Practice in 1994, a Ryan White-funded primary care practice largely devoted to providing care to individuals with substance use disorder. The practice has been innovative in integrating buprenorphine treatment into the primary care setting for over 700 individuals. He has also co-created novel buprenorphine treatment programs at a community center, at a church, and in a mobile van outside the Baltimore detention center. He has received the Health Equity Leadership Award from the Baltimore City Health Department. Dr. Fingerhood is co-author of the ASAM Handbook of Addiction Medicine and currently chairs the ASAM State of the Art Course in Addiction Medicine Program Planning Committee and the ASAM Medical Education Council. He was the chair of the ASAM Annual Conference Program Planning Committee for 6 years. Dr. Fingerhood has co-authored over 70 research papers and has received NIH research funding continuously over the past 30 years.

That is the Trifecta that I search for in my professional life.” Tune into a conversation with Dr. Roy Ziegelstein on practicing ‘personomics', reversing the empathic disconnect, and identifying your trifecta for peak performance in medicine. Pearls of Wisdom:   1. The Art of Medicine is nothing but connecting, but as we progress, we seem to get more disconnected.  The key to reversing that disconnect is actually counterintuitive, being proactive in engaging in activities that are outside of medicine—normal people activities—and prioritizing that. 2. How to practice ‘Person-onomics'? By starting with life first and symptoms next. Understanding the patient and inquiring about their life first before delving into the symptoms will assist more in the broad overarching perspective in the long run. 3. When you combine passion plus talent plus an unmet need, and focus those energies in the right space, things will start to happen. That's the Medical Trifecta.

Cognitive functions not clearly affected by age involve information processing, problem-solving, decision making, and time-sharing. Flight instructors must be able to assess the possible negative effects of aging and assist the older pilot in maintaining both proficiency and safety. We discuss how this can be done. Dr. Victor Vogel is a board-certified and fellowship-trained medical oncologist specializing in breast cancer prevention and treatment. He obtained his medical degree from Temple University School of Medicine, completed his residency at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, and his fellowship in medical oncology at the Johns Hopkins Oncology Center. Dr. Vogel has also served as the National Vice President for Research at the American Cancer Society. He became a private pilot in 1980, progressing to CFI in 2019 and CFII in 2020. Dr. Vogel is also an AGI and IGI. He has owned a Beech Sierra in the past and most recently a Cirrus SR22 for the past 15 years. He has flown to 40 of the 50 states and serves as a FAASTeam Representative for the Harrisburg FSDO. He is a member of the IFR Magazine Editorial Board.

David Hellmann, MD, holds the Aliki Perroti Professorship in medicine at the Johns Hopkins University, and he is the Co-founder and Director at the Johns Hopkins Center for Innovative Medicine. He served as the Chairman of Medicine and Vice Dean at the Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center until 2020. He is a nationally recognized rheumatologist and educator and is a recipient of many awards including the Martin Abeloff Award for lifetime achievement in medical and biomedical education. Know anyone who's ridden on a magic carpet? When Dr. David Hellmann was 5 years old, he developed Perthes disease. “My neighbor built a device for me that allowed me to lay down and propel myself into every dirt pile in the neighborhood. I remember having no limitation. At a time when the world was telling me I was a cripple, I had a next-door neighbor making me a magic carpet.” Tune into an inspiring conversation with Dr. Hellmann on knowing our patients as people first, finding our North Star, and leaving our fingerprints on the profession of medicine. Pearls of Wisdom:   1. Know the patient as a person. You are not only treating a disease but you are healing a person. Certain subtle gestures of compassion, warmth, and humanity in your patient interactions can make a great and lasting difference. 2. To know the North through a compass is not enough, you need a guide to take you through the difficult terrains; that is, you need a mentor to show you how things are done and why they are done the way they are in order to progress in your medical journey. 3. Leave your fingerprints on the jewel of medicine. Medicine is a progressive field. No matter how many developments are made, there will always be a place for innovation and discoveries, and you must be the one pioneering that effort.

*Disclaimer* Johns Hopkins has Regulatory Approval and is allowed to conduct these clinical setting experiences with the use of these compunds. Psychedelics still remain Schedule 1 Drugs in the United States, i.e., they are illegal. This podcast is not advocating for the use or distribution on these drugs, and this podcast is not advice for these compounds. Again, we are not telling you to use these psychedelic substances.

Dr. Nayak works at the Johns Hopkins Center for Psychedelic & Consciousness Research, he completed his MD at Brown University, his residency at Johns Hopkins, and is also currently a psychiatrist at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center. We discussed the possible treatments for addiction, depression, and other mental health disorders/illnesses. We also breifly touched on cannabis (weed) and THC. These questions were sort of all over the place; I just had many questions out of my fascination on this topic. But of course, I think all of them were very interesting. I loved this conversation and I hope to have another one with Dr. Nayak in the future!

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a great strain on the public health system, affecting not only the lives of patients and families who have contracted the virus, but also to healthcare providers. The additional precautions required of healthcare workers (https://www.sdtplanning.com/financial-survival-guide-landing-page) have become more exhausting, stressful, and intense, possibly contributing to the psychological burden and burnout. In this episode of Prosperous Doc, our host Shane Tenny is joined by Dr. Milad Memari, an Internal Medicine resident from the Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center in Baltimore, Maryland. Dr. Milad is himself a COVID-19 survivor and shares his firsthand experience in fighting the virus and treating patients as well. (4:09) He also discusses the research project (https://journals.ke-i.org/index.php/mra/article/view/2015/193545493) that he and his colleagues conducted in an effort to contribute to the ongoing literature on physician wellness and well-being. He took a look at the types of activities that residents, in particular, do in their free time. (14:37) Whether they engaged in activities in isolation or with their social groups, the findings pointed to positive effects on satisfaction and happiness. (20:01) He plans to continue this research as he pursues a career in academic medicine. Dr. Milad believes that these types of studies can give insights to hospital systems in terms of initiatives, like an individualized approach to working hours, that promote physician wellness.

This week, your hosts Steve Lowry and Yvonne Godfrey interview Mary Koch and Keith Forman of Wais, Vogelstein, Forman, & Offutt, LLC ( https://www.malpracticeteam.com/).     Remember to rate and review GTP in iTunes: Click Here To Rate and Review     Case Details:     Wais, Vogelstein, Forman & Offutt LLC partners Mary Koch and Keith Forman discuss how they secured the largest medical malpractice verdict in U.S. history, advocating on behalf of Zubida Byrom, a child who was born with cerebral palsy due to the negligence of doctors and medical staff in treating her mother, Erica Byrom, at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center in Baltimore, Maryland. Erica, who suffered from preeclampsia, was misinformed about Zubida's chance of survival and signed a consent form indicating she did not wish to undergo a c-section. The impact of the induced delivery on Zubida's brain and the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit staff's failure to act appropriately left Zubida without oxygen, causing the baby to be born with cerebral palsy and requiring round-the-clock care for life.   Click Here to Read/Download the Complete Trial Documents     Guest Bios:     Mary M. Koch     Mary McNamara Koch joined WVFO as a partner in January of 2016. Shortly after her arrival, she obtained Plaintiffs' verdicts in two medical negligence cases, with one jury awarding a stroke victim over $6,000,000.00 and another jury awarding a woman with debilitating drop foot over $2,000,000.00. These successes were in keeping with her reputation of winning big cases. Practice Areas: Medical Malpractice Medical Mistakes   In 2014, Ms. Koch spearheaded a team of attorneys that successfully negotiated the historic $37 million settlement against St. Joseph Medical Center on behalf of former patients of Dr. Mark G. Midei, a cardiologist at the hospital who was accused of performing hundreds of unnecessary cardiac stent procedures. As part of this landmark victory, Ms. Koch conducted over 100 depositions, argued many of the motions, and made the successful class action argument. In addition to giving the 273 patients financial resources, and even more important some closure so they could resume their lives, the settlement helped establish a national dialogue on unnecessary medical procedures.   Read Full Bio     Keith Forman   Keith is a partner at the firm.

In 2019, Keith was part of the trial team that obtained what is believed to be the largest verdict in a medical malpractice case in the history of the United States of America - a $229 million dollar verdict against Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center for a child who was injured at birth and suffers cerebral palsy as a result.   Read Full Bio     Show Sponsors:     Legal Technology Services - LTSatlanta.com     Digital Law Marketing - DigitalLawMarketing.com     Harris, Lowry, and Manton - hlmlawfirm.com     Free Resources:   Stages Of A Jury Trial - Part 1 Stages Of A Jury Trial - Part 2

Host: Janet Wright, MD Guest: James Scheulen, PA-C Guest: Jeffrey Trost, MD Door-to-balloon time for a patient with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (or STEMI) should be less than 90 minutes. Wireless electrocardiography (or EKG) programs around the country are helping to reduce door-to-balloon time by transmitting EKG data to hospitals via broadband internet, where a specialist at the hospital makes a diagnosis and prepares to treat the incoming patient. What are some of the challenges, and advantages, of such programs? Mr. Jim Scheulen, chief administrative officer for the Johns Hopkins Department of Emergency Medicine and president of Johns Hopkins Emergency Medical Services, and Dr. Jeffrey Trost, assistant professor in cardiology, director of the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory and director of the Interventional Cardiology Program at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, helped create a Baltimore consortium of hospitals that donated wireless EKG technology to the city's paramedic units.

Guest: David Hellmann, MD Host: Jason Birnholz, MD Dr. David Hellman, chairman of the department of medicine at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, examines with host Dr. Jason Birnholz the limitations of the current physical exam, and the potential of the portable ultrasound to improve the primary care physician's diagnostic capabilities. Dr. Hellman outlines studies done at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center which indicate that, while physicians did not acquire the images as well as ultrasound technicians, their interpretations were almost as accurate. Someday, Dr. Hellman expects, this technology may become a commonplace tool of the physician.
