Helene M. Epstein is not here to make friends with the healthcare system. She's here to dismantle the bullshit, one catastrophic medical error at a time. A marketing agency veteran turned patient safety firebrand, Helene's journey from copywriter to cancer misdiagnosis survivor, to “badass queen of patient safety,” is one hell of a ride.We talk about how her son was misdiagnosed over 15 times (yes, really), why some doctors should come with warning labels, and how American healthcare gaslights patients like it's a competitive sport. She also explains why she's giving away her new book for free, one chapter at a time, and how AI might actually be useful—if it stops hallucinating citations.This is not a light listen. It's the real deal. You'll walk away angry, inspired, and a lot more dangerous as a patient.RELATED LINKSHelene's Substack: https://helenemepstein.substack.comPatient Safety Resources: https://www.pfps.usSociety to Improve Diagnosis in Medicine: https://psnet.ahrq.gov/issue/society-improve-diagnosis-medicineHelene's Website: https://www.hmepstein.com/meet-heleneLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hmepsteinFEEDBACKLike this episode?

After losing their son, Zach, they turned their grief into action, founding Zach's Bridge, a lifeline for families navigating pediatric cancer.

"Off Script" by Pastor Rick Birk April 6, 2025 Worship Service Groveport UMC, Groveport Ohio To support the ministry of the church, please click here: https://groveportumc.org/give/

RenMac discusses the difference between trade deficits and tariffs, the “escalate to de-escalate” strategy, today's payroll numbers, how the Fed is thinking about rates, the spike in capitulation measures, and having a mind-set of “what can go right”.

Lucas and EJ discuss their all-time favorite wrestling video games, Lucas' memories of Cody Rhodes' return to WWE at Wrestlemania 38, the promo battle between Rhodes & John Cena, the decision to book Roman Reigns, CM Punk & Seth Rollins in the main event of Night 1 of Wrestlemania, and Rusev's rumored return to WWE

Sarah Armstrong—forever Sarah Oakden to me, no matter what the legal documents say—isn't just my best friend. She's my first college friend, my musical theater soulmate, and the first person who truly saw me as an artist. She was there when I walked onto Binghamton's campus, and she was there when I walked into cancer hell. And, because we're nothing if not in sync, a few decades later, she got her own cancer badge of honor, and I was right there with her every step of the way.This episode is a love letter to friendship, music, and those moments that change your life forever. We nerd out over Sondheim, Binghamton's infamous "Theater 101 with Dr. Susan Peters." and the weird and wonderful rabbit holes that turn into entire alternate realities across decades of aging gracefully and falling with style.We talk about how cancer is the worst club with the best people and how surviving it together just adds another verse to the song we've been singing for 30 years. It's funny. It's real. It's a master class in love, laughter, and musicals that should have been bigger; with a big tip of the hat to Nancy Ford and Gretchen Cryer for their acclaimed musical "I'm Getting My Act Together and Taking It on the Road"Oh, and RIP to the legendary Denny's on Vestal Parkway.

Spoiler alert: She powered through, beat cancer, and kept scaling Culina Health to new heights.We get into it all—being a cancer patient when you're supposed to be the health expert, the emotional whiplash of survivorship, the absolute clown show that is American food regulation, and why European Oreos are apparently less cancerous than ours.

Steve Gunderson spent his entire law enforcement career as the tip of the spear. He fought against violent extremists and domestic terror groups, hell bent on inflicting pain on American citizens. As an agent with the ATF, he was front and center, infiltrating the KKK, the Aryan Brotherhood, learning about their moves, their mission, and trying to bring them to justice before they could continue their brand of violence. In this episode of Off Script, Gunderson joins Andrew Iden to share some amazing stories of a life and job spent fighting back against hate.

RenMac unpacks the FOMC meeting, Trump's conversation with Putin, the deteriorating transportation names, tariff uncertainty, the likelihood of a downside economic surprise in coming months, Schumer's unwinnable position and how moving averages can help generate alpha.

Project 2025 was meant to be a U.S. Republican transition bible, outlining a vast set of proposed policies for the next leader. Within its 900 pages, was a plan to use tariffs to correct a perceived imbalance in trade, and to bring manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. Once U.S. President Donald Trump took office, he endorsed this plan – but then, he went off-book.Now, other Republicans, and Wall Street, are trying to figure out what the president's long-term strategy is, and what to do about it.Today, Tim Kiladze, one of the Globe's financial reporters, is on the show to tell us about this Project 2025 tariff plan, how Trump suddenly changed course, and why it's left global economies scrambling.Questions?

EPISODE DESCRIPTIONLillian Kreppel doesn't hold back. A seven-year anal cancer survivor and co-founder of the HPV Cancers Alliance, she has made it her mission to challenge stigma, fight misinformation, and push for better awareness of HPV-related cancers. In this episode, she sits down with Matthew Zachary to talk about her journey from high-powered sales to full-time advocacy, the absurd misconceptions surrounding HPV, and why more doctors should be doing rectal exams—but aren't. With her signature humor and relentless drive, Lillian shares how she turned her diagnosis into a movement, what it takes to make people uncomfortable for the right reasons, and why she refuses to stop talking about the HPV vaccine. It's an eye-opening, unfiltered, and surprisingly hilarious conversation about a serious issue too many people ignore.RELATED LINKSHPV Cancers Alliance: https://hpvca.org/Lillian's Story (MSKCC): https://www.mskcc.org/experience/hear-from-patients/lillianInterview on HPVWorld: https://www.hpvworld.com/articles/anal-cancer-and-hpv-a-history-of-awareness-and-stigma-interview-with-lillian-kreppel/Speaking With Lillian Kreppel (Ask About HPV): https://www.askabouthpv.org/stories/speaking-with-lillian-kreppel-co-founder-of-the-hpv-cancers-allianceEuropean Cancer Organization Feature: https://www.europeancancer.org/content/lillian-kreppel.htmlAnal Cancer Survivor Feature (Patient Resource):https://www.patientresource.com/Anal_Cancer_Survivor_Lillian_KreppelFEEDBACKLike this episode?

Buckle up, because Amy Gittelman is back, and this episode is one for the ages. A fellow SUNY Binghamton (yes, we still call it that) alum, Amy joins me for a hilarious and brutally honest deep dive into the absurdities of healthcare, insurance fuckery, and the general nonsense that plagues the system. From dodging medical debt landmines to battling insurance companies that seem hellbent on denying care, we go all in.But wait—there's more! We reminisce about our Binghamton days, debate the superiority of Wegmans over every downstate grocery store, and expose the dark art of healthcare billing fraud (spoiler: it's as bad as you think). Amy, a seasoned healthcare badass, drops wisdom bombs on why the industry is broken, what we can do about it, and why she's basically a mix of Miranda Priestly, Leslie Knope, and Dolly freakin' Parton.If you've ever yelled at your insurance company, fought a medical bill, or just wanted to flip a table over the state of American healthcare, this episode is for you.RELATED LINKS:Amy Gittelman on LinkedInAmy's Odyssey Feature on PM360Amy's Profile on OncoDailyVeradigm Healthcare SolutionsFEEDBACK:Like this episode?

Welcome to another episode of Out of Patients, where we get real about the absolute circus that is the American healthcare system. If you've ever been trapped in a medical billing nightmare, gaslit by insurance reps, or just generally felt like healthcare is an elaborate game designed to screw you—this one's for you.Joining me is the indomitable Deb Gordon, a relentless champion for healthcare consumers, co-founder of Umbra Health Advocacy, and co-director of the Alliance of Professional Health Advocates. She literally wrote the book (The Healthcare Consumer's Manifesto) on navigating this broken system—and she's here to help you get unf*cked.We talk about why the healthcare system is a hot mess, how patient advocacy is (unfortunately) a booming business, and why you shouldn't have to fight tooth and nail just to get the care you're entitled to. And yes, there are people you can hire to help you navigate the bureaucratic hellscape of prior authorizations, medical bills, and misdiagnoses. It's an infuriating conversation—but also wildly empowering.If you've ever thought, Where the hell was this when I needed it?—well, now you know.RELATED LINKS

Video can bring your nonprofit's message to life, making it more engaging for donors and other audiences. Finding the right people to communicate your mission doesn't have to be overwhelming.

You know how some people enter your life with a knock, a bang, or maybe even a LinkedIn request? Not Rebecca Batterman, returning champion to Out of Patients, making her dramatic second appearance,Back in 2019, she karmically appeared like a plot twist in a film noir—unexpected, inevitable, and full of surprises. An AI strategist, an optimist (yes, those exist), and a young adult cancer survivor, Rebecca is here to school us on everything from the future of AI in healthcare to why nostalgia is a coping mechanism we all need. In this no-BS conversation, we talk about the state of innovation (is it still a buzzword?), the wild advancements in early cancer detection, and whether AI-generated empathy is just another overpromised tech fantasy.We also take a detour into the absurdity of pinkwashed cancer fundraising, the evolution of cancer portrayals in pop culture, and the ultimate question: Can you separate the art from the artist? Come for the cancer survivorship insights, stay for the South Park references and existential musings on whether you'd rather live in the past (with no antibiotics) or the future (with AI clones of yourself).
