Cancer care is difficult enough to navigate as someone with little to no healthcare/biology background, but what does it mean when a physician faces similar challenges within the healthcare system? Dr. Jean-Luc “JL” Neptune shares his compelling caregiver story of caring for his mother and father's cancer diagnoses simultaneously with the help of his sister. We delve into how his experience impacted his career, his outlook into the flaws of the healthcare system, and his perspective on what patients (and caregivers) can do to get the most out of their care. Key Highlights: 1. Access to contextualized information is not easy; information online without context can be overwhelming and not specific to the patient. 2. The best source of information about your diagnosis and prognosis is likely a doctor in the field, but finding one with the time to fully inform you is not an easy feat either. Fee-for-service care is the current healthcare model, which arguably promotes quantity over quality. However, the tide is slowly but surely shifting towards value-based care. 3. To achieve the highest quality care today, the best thing you can do is advocate for yourself and seek multiple expert opinions. Keeping track of your symptoms is a good idea for effectively and efficiently contextualizing your treatment plan with your provider(s). About our guest: Jean-Luc (“JL”) Neptune, MD MBA is a physician executive, digital health leader, investor and advisor with 20+ years of experience in the health innovation space. Dr. Neptune most recently served as the CEO, Chief Medical Officer, and co-founder of Suntra Modern Recovery, which provided early addiction intervention and treatment services at scale. Prior to Suntra Modern Recovery Dr. Neptune was the founder of Athletik Health Inc., which operated modern sports medicine clinics offering the “athlete in everyone” outstanding clinical care and customer service. Dr. Neptune served as entrepreneur-in-residence at the Hospital For Special Surgery (“HSS”), the #1 rated orthopedic hospital in the United States, working closely with the leadership team of the HSS Innovation Institute. Dr. Neptune was also General Manager at Blueprint Health where he oversaw investments into dozens of digital health companies (including RubiconMD, NexHealth, Moving Analytics, and CleanSlate UV), and continues as a partner in the Blueprint investment funds. Dr. Neptune earned a BA from Columbia College at Columbia University, an MD from the Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons, and an MBA at the Wharton School. Dr. Neptune completed a residency in internal medicine at New York Presbyterian Hospital and is licensed to practice medicine in the state of New York. Key Moments: At 10:55 “I've often debated with people online about access to information and really as a patient, should you be like going on the internet and looking at all these sites? And my argument is you shouldn't because unless you can contextualize this information, make it specific to you and cut out all of the noise from the signal, you're probably only making yourself more stressed out, more confused by seeking information from all these places.” Visit the Manta Cares website Disclaimer: This podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

With perspectives spanning hepatobiliary, gynecologic, and cardiac surgeries, NewYork-Presbyterian's Dr. Jason Hawksworth (Columbia), Dr. Tamatha Fenster (Weill Cornell Medicine), and Dr. Arnar Geirsson (Columbia) describe how they each came to incorporate robotics into their practices. One of the biggest takeaways: robotic surgeries allow for more accuracy in minimally-invasive approaches; so patients experience shorter hospital stays and quicker recoveries, even after major procedures. But there are some limitations to robotic surgeries that the doctors are still navigating. Dr. Fenster discusses how there are haptics limitations in robotic surgery. As a result, she shares more about her innovative smartHER 3D MRI program that is addressing this issue and details how her and her team are developing a way of holographically projecting 3D MRIs over patients to help guide surgeons while they operate.

Dr. Kalin-Hajdu is the host of the current "Oculofacial Podcast Journal Club". Dr. Bryan J. Winn - Professor of Ophthalmology and Vice Chair and Division Director for Oculofacial Plastic Surgery at UCSF. He also serves as the Chief of Ophthalmology at the San Francisco VA Healthcare System. Dr. Davin Ashraf - Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU). Dr. Kyle J. Godfrey - Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology at Weill Cornell Medicine and the New York Presbyterian Hospital. He is also the Director of the Ophthalmology Residency Program and a member of the Departments of Ophthalmology and Neurological Surgery. Episode Summary: In this engaging episode of the Oculofacial Podcast Journal Club, distinguished host Dr. Evan Kalin-Hajdu from the University of Montreal is joined by renowned experts Dr. Bryan J. Winn, Dr. Davin Ashraf, and Dr. Kyle J. Godfrey to discuss three key articles from the May-June 2024 issue of the Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (OPRS) journal. The discussion delves into short-term versus long-term results of teprotumumab, a more custom management of patients with thyroid eye diseases, as well as rapidly popular transorbital surgery. The episode begins with Dr. Bryan J. Winn summarizing an article on teprotumumab for recalcitrant thyroid eye disease. The panelists then discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the paper, highlighting the medication's short-term effectiveness but raising concerns about its long-term durability. Following this, Dr. Davin Ashraf provides insights into a study that compared teprotumumab versus orbital decompression for thyroid eye disease, highlighting the likely additive effects of these combined treatments, but also raising compelling points about regression of proptosis that was only observed in the teprotumumab group. Dr. Kyle J. Godfrey then wraps up with an in-depth look at a novel transorbital endoscopic approach to the foramen rotundum for infraorbital nerve stripping, emphasizing the technique's potential utility, risks, and anatomical considerations. The participants then discussed the growing popularity of transorbital surgery from the standpoint of oculofacial plastic surgeons. Key Takeaways: Teprotumumab's Effectiveness: Teprotumumab shows significant short-term efficacy in reducing proptosis and clinical activity scores in recalcitrant thyroid eye disease, but data on long-term durability remains unknown in that cohort. Teprotumumab versus decompression: Combining teprotumumab with orbital decompression may provide additive benefits for proptosis reduction. Surgical decompression provides the greatest proptosis reduction and does not appear to wane in time. However, patients treated solely with teprotumumab appear to start regressing within months of therapy. Evolving Treatment Protocols: The participants theorize a potential shift in managing thyroid eye disease, gradually incorporating a more evidence-based approach with an effective short-term modulator, like teprotumumab, followed by a long-term disease modifier, like tocilizumab or radiation therapy. Advanced Surgical Techniques: Introducing a transorbital endoscopic approach for infraorbital nerve stripping could expand the surgical arsenal for managing complex orbital and perineural pathologies.

Before 1952, open heart surgery was considered science fiction. The heart was off limits to surgeons despite more than half a million Americans dying annually from heart disease. Doing nothing was the strategy. However, the status quo would soon change thanks to a few brave and imaginative surgeons who dared to break the most rigid of medical taboos: Do not touch the human heart. We sat down with Dr. Gerald Imber, author of the new book “Cardiac Cowboys: The Heroic Invention of Heart Surgery” to discuss how five men raced to invent an entirely new field of surgery. Guests: Jessica Millar, MD- General Surgery Resident- University of Michigan; Education Fellow- Behind the Knife Nick Teman, MD- Associate Professor of Cardiac Surgery and Critical Care- University of Virginia Gerald Imber- Assistant Clinical Professor of Plastic surgery at the Weill-Cornell Medical Center, Attending Surgeon at New York-Presbyterian Hospital, and Director of a private clinic in New York City, NY; Author of “Wendell Black, MD”, “Genius on the Edge: The Bizarre Double Life of Dr. William Stewart Halsted”, and “Cardiac Cowboys: The Heroic Invention of Heart Surgery”.
