This August, we're talking with two leading doctors(an Optometrist and a Retina Specialist, and Surgeon)and two diabetes advocates about eye health, and vision loss related to diabetes with musical inspiration from TLC.  Did you know August is Vision & Learning Month? The goal of this national observance is to help increase awareness among parents and educators on the prevalence of undiagnosed or misdiagnosed vision problems. Diabetes is the leading cause of new cases of blindness in adults. This is a growing problem as the number of people living with diabetes increases, so does the number of people with impaired vision. Diabetes can cause a disease of the eye called diabetic retinopathy (DR). In its early stages, you may not notice any symptoms or changes to your eyesight, and you cannot tell that this condition is damaging your eyes. If it is not detected and treated in a timely manner, your vision can be damaged permanently. Among adults aged 45 and over with diagnosed diabetes, 9.2% had vision loss due to cataracts, 4.1% had vision loss due to diabetic retinopathy, 2.2% had vision loss due to macular degeneration, and 2.1% had vision loss due to glaucoma. Guests include Sherrol Reynolds M.D. (Associate Professor and Chief of Advanced Ophthalmic Care at the Nova Southeastern University College of Optometry, President of the National Optometric Association (NOA)), Rishi Singh, M.D. (Retina Specialist and Staff Surgeon at the Cole Eye Institute, Cleveland Clinic), Andrea Sledge, Natalie Karabel,Patricia Addie-Gentle RN, CDCES. Hosted by Max 'Mr. Divabetic' Szadek. Throughout our podcast, we are featuring music from TLC's CrazySexyCool album courtesy of SONY Music.

Christine Bryson, DO, is an Associate Professor of Medicine, the Medical Director of Teaching Services in the Division of Hospital Medicine, and an Associate Program Director for the Internal Medicine Residency program at the University of Massachusetts Medical School at Baystate Health. Dr. Bryson completed her medical school from Nova Southeastern University College of Osteopathic Medicine, and her residency from Christiana Care Health System. She has been training and mentoring students and residents for almost two decades. Be prepared for the unexpected. Today, Dr. Christine Bryson reminds us that it's okay for our priorities to evolve as time goes on—and to look at everything with an open mind. Although some people seem to have it all figured out from day one, it's okay for us to go with the flow, figure out what we want as we gain more experience and knowledge. The most important thing for us to keep in mind, though, is the search for finding our passion: We need to ask ourselves what makes us excited to get up in the morning and go to work each day. Pearls of Wisdom: 1. Leading a team involves humility on the part of the leader, and transparency with the team. Not everyone will agree with every decision that is made, but keeping the process transparent helps keep the team together. 2. Give space for the patient to tell you what is important to them, and leave your own preconceived notions at the door.  The best patient care comes with listening. 3. Be confident in your training, but know that this is a lifelong learning process. It's okay to know everything—because we are here to learn. Ask questions, admit what we don't know, and take on any opportunity for growth with an open mind. 4. Do not bring your life outside the hospital inside the patient's room. Pause to reflect on what is affecting us in our day to day lives, and know it's okay to take a day off, and talk to our peers about our experience. In order to give quality care to patients, we have to take care of ourselves.

Saving Lives of Addicts Through The Marchman Act and Mark AstorMARK G. ASTOR BIO Born and raised in the United Kingdom until the age of twenty-one, Mark Astor has been an attorney since 1994. Before entering private practice, Mr. Astor began his legal career as a prosecutor with the Palm Beach County State Attorney’s Office. Mr. Astor served the citizens of Palm Beach County as an Assistant State Attorney from 1994-1999. During his career as a prosecutor, he served as Chief of two different County Court Divisions and, thereafter, was promoted to a felony trial division. He has handled thousands of cases ranging from first-degree misdemeanors to Capital Murder. Mr. Astor was admitted to the Florida Bar in 1994 and, in 1995, was admitted to practice before the U. S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. In 2005, he was admitted to the District of Columbia Bar.

Mr. Astor’s law practice, Drug and Alcohol Attorneys (http://drugandalcoholattorneys.com) focuses on representing and empowering individuals who are in crisis because of drug, alcohol and mental heath disorders. Many times, individuals or families come to Mr. Astor because they have a friend or loved one who either refuses to go into treatment, or will not stay in treatment. When this is the case, Mr. Astor gives counsel to help navigate through the Marchman Act process, Florida’s involuntary commitment law for drug, alcohol and co-occurring mental heath disorders. Additionally, Mr. Astor provides counsel when there is a need to file an Emergency Guardianship Petition (ETG) so that an individual who is no longer competent to make medical decisions for themselves can have that burden taken off their shoulders. On other occasions, individuals find themselves in the criminal justice system and need assistance navigating it’s complexities, having been arrested for an offense that stems from drug addiction or mental health disorders. When he’s not working in his law practice, Mr. Astor empowers members of the community by teaching Krav Maga (the Israeli system of hand to hand taught to the military, special forces and anti-terror units). He also enjoys an early morning work out believing that a healthy body leads to a healthy mind.
