Dr. Thomas Kessler is a family practice physician with MedExpress. He is a frequent contributor to The Rick Dayton Show. On Thursday afternoon, he joined the show to talk about how to lessen the chance of something happening that puts a damper on one of the favorite holidays for kids. He addressed issues of physical safety, food safety (1 in 13 kids have food allergy issues,) and contact dermatitis issues from face paint or materials in costumes. 

Listen as Julie shares her son Evan with us. Julie did not know she was pregnant until she went into labor at a MedExpress. Since she had never had any pregnancy symptoms and no prior prenatal care, doctors estimated she was around 30-32 weeks when she went into labor. After arriving at the hospital, Evan was was diagnosed with HLHS, a rare genetic condition in which the left side of the heart is underdeveloped. In this type of condition, a minimum of 3 surgeries are needed within the first 2 years of life in order for survival. They were told that a majority of children with this condition do not reach their 18th birthday. Evan also had a leaky tricuspid valve so the cardiologists at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh weren't able to offer surgery to correct it, meaning that his condition would ultimately end in death either by leaving him on the ventilator or removing life support. Julie and her husband made the difficult decision to remove life support, so that Evan would no longer be in pain.

Change is inevitable in life, and healthcare is no exception. This was especially true during COVID, but even to this day, more debt, high inflation, and its effect on wages and supplies, as well as legislative changes, all combine to create volatile environments within healthcare. On today's episode, we'll get into two recent cases of change – MedExpress and APP – and what this could mean for ER docs. As always, we'll reinforce some financial suggestions that you should be considering amidst changes occurring all around you.

Dr. Stephen Ogden, a family medicine physician with MedExpress talked about safe food handling, preparation, and avoiding food-borne illnesses such as Salmonella and E. coli.  We discussed the signs and symptoms of food-born illness vs plain old viruses and bacteria we pick up from each other or our environment.  Dr. Ogden explained typical food-poisoning symptoms, including vomiting and fever, which may range from mild to severe depending on the germ that was swallowed, and when you should seek medical attention.   He suggests hydration as the best self-management plan! He gave us tips on working with raw meats and fish, summer salads, dairy products and fruits and vegetables and basic kitchen hygiene tips, including the critical importance of frequent handwashing by those preparing and handling food. The Four Steps to Food Safety according to the CDC are to – Clean, Separate, Cook, and Chill. He recommends we buy a food thermometer!  Bacteria can multiply rapidly if left at room temperature or in the “Danger Zone” between 40°F and 140°F so never leave perishable food out for more than 2 hours (or 1 hour if exposed to temperatures above 90°F) and keep food hot:  140°F or warmer—until it's served.

Julie Simpson, an Independent Nurse Practitioner with MedExpress joins us to discuss heart health.  The month of February, which is recognized as American Heart Month, provides an opportunity to reinforce awareness of heart health and encourage Americans to take steps to reduce their risk for cardiovascular disease through the adoption of healthier behaviors and lifestyles – especially during a pandemic.  And now, with COVID-19, people with certain heart conditions must be even more vigilant about practicing a healthy lifestyle and taking care of their heart by eating healthy and exercising to try to protect it from harm. The virus attacks the respiratory system which can weaken the lungs making the heart work harder to pump blood throughout the body. This added stress can be harmful for people with heart disease.  Heart disease is the number one killer of both American men and women, according to the CDC. In addition, other cardiovascular conditions, such as high blood pressure or hypertension, are far too common. In fact, 1 of 2 adults in the United States suffers from high blood pressure, which when uncontrolled can have serious health consequences. The American Heart Association states that some individuals experience few or no symptoms before having a heart attack or stroke. Periodic cardiac screening tests and blood pressure checks can detect issues before symptoms develop, which can help to prevent major health issues down the road. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends that everyone ages six months and older get an annual flu shot – yet, fewer than half of Americans received a flu vaccine last flu season. Given the severity of the 2017-2018 flu season – which was the first to be classified as high severity across all age groups – local healthcare professionals at MedExpress Urgent Care in Kansas want to debunk some of the most common flu shot myths that may be preventing many people from getting vaccinated. Getting an annual flu vaccine is the first and best way to protect families, friends, and coworkers. In fact, the more people who protect against flu, the less flu in general – which is good for everyone. Flu vaccination can also reduce flu-related illnesses, doctors’ visits, and missed days from work and school. Still, there are many misconceptions about the safety and effectiveness of the flu shot. MedExpress healthcare providers can help shed some light with some quick true and false: FALSE: The flu is just a bad cold. I don't need a flu shot. FALSE: The flu shot will give me the flu. FALSE: The flu shot doesn't work and won't offer me any protection. FALSE: It's too late to get the flu shot. TRUE: The flu shot may not completely protect me from getting the flu.

Disruption will come from below (i.e. start-ups) that come to market with new business models (peer-to-peer for example). Startups that embrace technology and creativity. Change ultimately will be driven by consumers. Consumers will be empowered as personal health data becomes readily available through new technologies such as the Apple Watch and various health data apps. Local care centers like MedExpress (now Optum) and online marketplaces owned and operated by Amazon, Walmart and the like are the future. These marketplace changes combined with de-regulation/ forced competition (wishful thinking?) will eliminate the bloat and the "wag the dog" administrative state forced upon us by the political class. Only through deregulation will the insurance companies be forced to compete for our business. Only then will premiums come down as insurance oligopolies are replaced with a competitive market place across state lines and nationally. Competition will force drug prices down as well. We will only maximize the potential offered by tools such as the Apple Watch and enjoy the benefits of providers with new business models if we eliminate regulations put in place by politicians whom have been bought off by lobbyists employed by healthcare insurers and large pharmaceutical companies. If we don’t change the status quo – as citizens our tax bill will only grow as we continue to subsidize a system that benefits insurance carriers and pharmaceutical companies at our expense.
