Podcasts about patients

Risa Arin doesn't just talk about health literacy. She built the damn platform. As founder and CEO of XpertPatient.com (yes, expert with no E), Risa's taking a wrecking ball to how cancer education is delivered. A Cornell alum, cancer caregiver, and ex-agency insider who once sold Doritos to teens, she now applies that same marketing muscle to helping patients actually understand the garbage fire that is our healthcare system. We talk about why she left the “complacent social safety” of agency life, how her mom unknowingly used her own site during treatment, what it's like to pitch cancer education after someone pitches warm cookies, and why healthcare should come with a map, a translator, and a refund policy. Risa brings data, chutzpah, and Murphy Brown energy to the conversation—and you'll leave smarter, angrier, and maybe even a little more hopeful.RELATED LINKS• XpertPatient.com• Risa Arin on LinkedIn• XpertPatient & Antidote Partnership• XpertPatient Featured on KTLA• 2024 Health Award BioFEEDBACKLike this episode?

Physical therapy school prepares you with fundamental skills, but the gap between education and real clinical practice can be overwhelming for new graduates. This first-hand discussion reveals strategies to navigate the challenging transition as a new PT.• PT school primarily teaches you to "not hurt people" rather than specific treatment protocols• Feeling unprepared is normal when facing unfamiliar cases, especially post-surgical rehabilitation• Chart review the night before seeing patients helps you prepare for unfamiliar conditions• Basic, simple exercises are often more effective than complicated "creative" approaches• Finding mentors is crucial for developing confidence and clinical reasoning• Programming exercise should focus on addressing deficits rather than impressing patients• Patients care more about getting better than receiving a precise diagnosis• Continuing education should be targeted: 1/3 for immediate cases, 1/3 for common conditions, 1/3 for personal interests Check out our upcoming third cohort of the mentorship program with Mike Reinald at fitnesspainfree.com to learn more about our treatment approaches and protocols.We appreciate you listening!

In this episode of Experience Miracles, Dr. Tony Ebel tackles one of the most crucial questions facing parents today: "Where's the evidence for chiropractic and natural healthcare?" In this comprehensive episode, he dismantles the myth that evidence-based care only includes research papers and introduces the three-pillar framework of evidence-informed practice.

“That's what metastatic breast cancer looks like now—patients can live an extended period of time. And sometimes I think we forget to cheer for stable disease. I tell patients they can live with weeds in their garden; they just can't let the weeds take over their garden. And today we don't have a cure. We live in a rapidly changing time in oncology, and so there's just so much hope right now that we can offer patients,” ONS member Kristi Orbaugh, RN, MSN, RNP, AOCN®, nurse practitioner at Community Hospital North Cancer Center in Indianapolis, IN, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about patient communication in the metastatic breast cancer setting.

Highlights From This Episode “I think the most important and vital piece of having those conversations is making sure that we know—really know—that patient, because if we know them, that helps guide what they're needing right then, helps guide our verbiage, helps guide disciplines that we bring in.” TS 2:04 “What do they want to hear? I've been in practice a really, really long time, and I've had the entire spectrum. I've had patients say, ‘Tell me every single detail.' I mean, they want pictures. They want graphs. They want me to draw things. I've even had patients that want me to take markers and mark their body parts. … And then I've had patients that say, ‘I don't want to know anything. I trust my healthcare team. I'm going to proceed with treatment, but I really don't want to know anything.'” TS 3:40 “Remember to make things as simple as possible until we really know what the patient knows. We don't send our children to school and start them out in eighth grade; we send them to kindergarten for a reason. So we get basic information, and then we build on that. And I think we need to remember that when we're doing our patient education, whether it's regarding new chemotherapy or treatment plans or palliative care, we've got to remember to start simple. And maybe we build on that very quickly, or maybe it takes a bit more time. Number one—I actually think it helps with adherence because patients understand what we're asking of them and why we're asking that of them.” TS 12:00 “I think what's really kind of key to keep in mind is that patients are going to seek information. And so, we need to make sure that we're giving them really good, reliable, durable information because if we are not giving them good websites, if we're not giving them good written material, if we're not giving them good verbal information and education, they're going to contact ‘Dr. Google.' Dr. Google is good for a lot of things, but sometimes patients can go down a rabbit hole that's not appropriate or not accurate. That's not a good place for them to be.” TS 14:35 “If we find biomarkers that we call actionable, meaning that we find this mutation and we have a drug that blocks that mutation, that is what is going to guide and drive our treatment. Sometimes that can take a bit of time, right? And if we have a patient and they just find out they have metastatic disease, will they want treatment yesterday. And I understand that. … But frequently there is a very important period of waiting and allowing us to learn that enemy better by reviewing genomic testing, looking at that next-generation sequencing, looking at any positive biomarkers in breast cancer. They may have started out ER/PR positive. Are they still ER/PR positive?” TS 23:46 “I think when we're talking about goals of care, first of all, we need to make sure that the patient understands, when we're talking about metastatic disease today…, this is not a disease that we can cure, but hopefully it's a disease that we can manage for years to come. With that in mind, what's important to that patient? What is important to that patient in terms of life goals? What's important to that patient in terms of toxicities that they will allow and toxicities that they won't allow? TS 29:22 “If don't have a lot of medical knowledge, taking a pill seems less important than getting an IV. It seems like a bigger deal if I would miss getting my IV therapy. ‘Oh, whoops, I forgot to take a pill. Maybe it's not such a big, important piece of my treatment.' So education—when we set that patient down, helping them understand how this drug works, mechanism of action in a simple term, why it's important to take it as scheduled, why it's important to take it with food or without food, why it's important to take it consistently.” TS 34:41

In this episode, Tennr cofounder and CEO Trey Holterman sits down with a16z's David Haber and Jay Rughani to unpack one of healthcare's most overlooked pain points: patient referral logistics. When a patient is referred to a specialist and told that the specialist will follow up with them, what happens next? A convoluted system sometimes involving dozens of staff and multiple portals, all of which may or may not result in the specialist actually following up. Trey shares how Tennr leverages AI to automate the complex, unstructured workflows that delay patient care and burden frontline staff. Tennr's goal is to meaningfully increase patient conversions—ensuring more people get the treatment they need, faster. Learn more about a16z Bio+HealthLearn more about & Subscribe to Raising HealthFind a16z Bio+Health on LinkedInFind a16z Bio+Health on X

In this episode, Jerry tackles a nuanced and often controversial topic: why does chiropractic sometimes sound like a religion? Drawing from his own experience in the profession and his exposure to its philosophical roots, Jerry explores how religious-like language and behavior have persisted in chiropractic for over a century—and whether this helps or harms the profession. This episode doesn't aim to provide all the answers. Instead, it encourages thoughtful reflection on how chiropractic is defined, communicated, and perceived—especially by the public. Topics Covered 1. Two Extremes in Chiropractic Philosophy On one end: Evidence-only chiropractors who view chiropractic purely as musculoskeletal care On the other end: Chiropractors who speak in mystical or spiritual terms, treating chiropractic as a life-transforming philosophy Why both extremes can alienate the average person and cause division within the profession 2. Parallels Between Religion and Chiropractic Origin story of chiropractic (Harvey Lillard, DD and BJ Palmer) has a near-mythical tone Green Books and 33 Principles serve as sacred texts The adjustment functions as a ritual for some practitioners Concepts like innate intelligence resemble spiritual or religious ideas Evangelistic language: “power is on,” “saving lives,” “this is my purpose” Chiropractic's internal denominations: upper cervical groups, technique systems, subluxation-based vs. evidence-based 3. Why Religious Messaging Is Problematic It creates confusion—both within the profession and with the public The message doesn't resonate with the majority of people Research shows only around 12–15% of Americans see a chiropractor regularly Going “all in” on a new-age approach would alienate at least two-thirds of current and potential patients Other medical and health professions avoid spiritualized language and reach far more people 4. Why This Messaging Still Exists It's historically embedded in the profession It gives chiropractors a stronger sense of purpose It appeals to those looking for identity, certainty, and belonging It's often easier to repeat philosophical slogans than to critically evaluate them Chiropractic schools that promote this mindset continue to attract like-minded students Key Takeaways Chiropractic isn't religion—and it doesn't need belief or faith to work The profession should focus on benefits, not belief systems Presenting chiropractic in mystical or exaggerated terms limits its appeal Chiropractors should strive for clarity, consistency, and excellence in communication and care Patients don't need to believe in a philosophy—they just need to know chiropractic helps them feel and function better What Should Chiropractors Do? Be excellent at what you do Avoid shortcuts and weekend certifications just to add services Master your craft, whether it's manual adjustments, soft tissue work, or rehab Communicate clearly and effectively Avoid sounding like a conspiracy theorist or spiritual guru Test your messaging with people outside the profession to make sure it sounds normal Focus on practical benefits Most people care about how chiropractic will help them feel and function better Benefits like improved sleep, reduced pain, better mobility, and less stress resonate more than abstract philosophy Stop repeating what you've heard without questioning it Be thoughtful and intentional with your words Avoid parroting slogans or ideas that don't hold up to scrutiny Services Mentioned Rocket Chiro Websites: Designed to convert visitors into patients Local SEO Services: Focused on improving Google Maps rankings Next Step Program: On-demand coaching for new and stuck chiropractors Free Website and SEO Assessment: No-obligation review with personalized feedback For more info, visit: www.rocketchiro.com Closing Thoughts Jerry makes it clear: he loves chiropractic. It has changed his life. But love for the profession doesn't mean ignoring its problems. If chiropractors want the public to understand and trust what they do, they need to communicate in a way that makes sense to normal people. That means cutting out the spiritual fluff and focusing on what actually helps. If you're ready to grow a chiropractic practice that connects with real people and delivers real results, this episode is for you. Want Help Growing Your Practice?

Faithful. Gentle. Loving. Godly. Patient. These are the kinds of words we hope our kids would use to describe us. But if they were being totally honest, what's the one word they'd actually write down? Would it be something we're proud of—or something that hits a little too close to home, like angry, stressed, or even absent? In this episode, Kent and Lawson walk through a simple but eye-opening exercise that reveals how our day-to-day choices as dads shape how our kids experience us.   The good news? Whatever word they might choose today, it's doesn't have to be the final word. With time, intentionality, and God's help, we can grow into the kind of fathers who reflect the heart of Christ in our homes. There's no guilt trip here—just a real opportunity to reflect, reset, and grow. So whether you walk away from this conversation feeling encouraged or convicted, lean in. You are not a father on accident. So go be a father on purpose.   -------------------------------------------------------------------------   Support the show and upgrade your fatherhood swag. Shop Range Leather and get 15% OFF with code MJ15 Grab some fresh beans! https://rangecoffee.com/   Join the Fatherhood Guard as a monthly donor: https://manhoodjourney.org/donate/fatherhood-guard/   Buy Kent's latest book: Don't Bench Yourself on Amazon  Read the new State Of Biblical Fatherhood report here: http://manhoodjourney.org/sobf Find tools to share the report here: https://manhoodjourney.org/sobf-tools   Have a topic you want us to touch on?

A new report has found that high medical costs have caused almost two million Australians to delay or skip appointments with specialist doctors. The report from the Grattan Institute says some specialists in the private sector charge patients two to three times more than the rate Medicare sets for those services. The Institute suggests stripping public funding to doctors charging excessive fees could be part of the remedy. - Высокие медицинские расходы стали причиной того, что почти два миллиона австралийцев откладывают или пропускают приемы у врачей-специалистов. Такой вывод был сделан в недавнем отчете института Граттан. Согласно отчету, некоторые специалисты в частном секторе взимают с пациентов в два-три раза больше, чем устанавливает Medicare.

Dr. Jamie Wells is back—and this time, she brought a book. We cover everything from biomedical design screwups to the glorified billing software known as the EHR. Jamie's new book, A Clinical Lens on Pediatric Engineering, is a masterclass in what happens when you stop treating kids like small, drunk adults and start designing medicine around actual human factors. We talk about AI in pediatric radiology, why drug repurposing might save lives faster than biotech IPOs, and the absurdity of thinking one-size-fits-all in healthcare still works.Jamie's a former physician, a health policy disruptor, a bioethicist, an MIT director, and a recovering adjunct professor. She's also a unicorn. We dig into the wonk, throw shade at bad design, and channel our inner Lisa Simpsons. This one's for anyone who ever wondered why kids' hospitals feel like hell and why “make it taste like bubblegum” might be the most important clinical innovation of all time. You'll laugh, you'll learn, and you might get angry enough to fix something.RELATED LINKSJamie Wells on LinkedInBook: A Clinical Lens on Pediatric Engineering (Amazon)Book on SpringerDrexel BioMed ProfileGlobal Blockchain Business CouncilJamie's HuffPost ArticlesFEEDBACKLike this episode?

In this episode, Dr. Mara Einstein joins host Dr. Bradley Block to explore how brand cults have infiltrated every aspect of our lives, including healthcare.Einstein explains how companies and even online influencers use cult tactics like love bombing, social proof, and identity reinforcement to manipulate vulnerable people. She connects these strategies to the rise of anti-vaccine movements, medical misinformation, and even lifestyle brands masquerading as communities. Physicians, she warns, may think they're immune but they aren't.Together, they explore how digital echo chambers, charismatic figures, and algorithmic reinforcement have created dangerous in-groups and out-groups, eroding trust in science. But there's hope. Dr. Einstein offers practical advice for parents, physicians, and content creators to inoculate themselves and others against manipulation.Three Actionable Takeaways:Recognize the Tactics – Be aware of cult-like methods like love bombing, identity reinforcement, and emotional manipulation in marketing—and teach your patients (and kids) to do the same. Empathize and Stay Open – Don't alienate patients caught in misinformation. Listening without judgment preserves the physician-patient relationship and creates a path for future trust. Build Your Own Community – Science needs better marketing. Create communities around evidence-based care where people feel seen, heard, and empowered. About the Show:The Physician's Guide to Doctoring covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more.

He discusses the significance of Polyvagal Theory in understanding the nervous system and its implications for chiropractic practice. Dr. MacDonald emphasizes the importance of effective communication in chiropractic care, especially in connecting with patients in a meaningful way. He also highlights the evolution of coaching and consulting within the chiropractic field, particularly in response to the challenges posed by the pandemic. The conversation concludes with insights on how to amplify chiropractic care to better serve patients in a post-pandemic world. In this conversation, Dr. Don MacDonald discusses the importance of connection and co-regulation in chiropractic care, emphasizing the role of polyvagal theory in enhancing patient experiences. He shares insights on building a practice, future aspirations in chiropractic, and the significance of creativity and mindset in adjusting techniques. The discussion highlights the need for chiropractors to create safe spaces for patients and to honor their feelings while integrating objective testing into their practice.   Takeaways: Polyvagal Theory provides insights into the nervous system's role in chiropractic care. Chiropractors need to adapt their approaches to meet the needs of modern patients. The pandemic has changed how chiropractors engage with their patients. Understanding the vagus nerve is essential for chiropractors. Safety cues in the nervous system are vital for patient healing. Chiropractors can amplify their care by being aware of their patients' physiological states. Coaching and consulting in chiropractic have evolved to focus on mindset changes. Patients often become more social and engaged after receiving chiropractic care. Chiropractors enjoy practice more when they have more skills. Connection with patients goes beyond just technique. Polyvagal theory can enhance chiropractic practice. Co-regulation is essential for patient safety and comfort. Building relationships is key to growing a practice. Future aspirations can include teaching and mentoring. Chiropractors should strive for continuous improvement. Mindset and creativity are crucial in chiropractic adjusting. Integrating feelings with objective testing enhances care.   Case Study #1: https://go.chirocandy.com/case-study Case Study #2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=po2nWAaKcho

The Lancet Volume 353, Issue 9146 p9-13 January 02, 1999Background: Accumulating data at the time suggested functional benefits of antagonism of beta-adrenoreceptors in patients with heart failure. Multiple specific beta-blockers were being tested in trials. The CIBIS 1 trial found a trend towards 20% lower mortality in the bisoprolol (a highly cardio-selective beta-blocker) group and 30% fewer admissions to hospital for worsening heart failure. The Cardiac Insufficiency Bisoprolol Study II (CIBIS-II) trial was designed to test this evidence further.Patients Eligible patients had New York Heart Association Class III-IV symptoms with LVEF ≤ 35% and were stable on diuretics and ACE-inhibitors. Exclusion criteria included recent MI or coronary intervention, AV block or resting heart rate less 60 bpm and systolic BP < 100 mmHg. Patients already on beta-blockers or with planned therapy with beta-blockers were also not enrolled.Cardiology Trial's remains independent, free of industry ads, due to reader generosity. Please consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Baseline Characteristics The mean age of patients was 61 years, 81% male, and 83% Class III. The mean LVEF was 28%. About half the patients had ischemic heart disease, 12% primary dilated cardiomyopathy and nearly 40% had a mixture of valvular heart disease, hypertensive heart disease or unproven ischemic disease.The mean SBP on enrollment was 130 mmHg and resting HR was 80 bpm. The mean duration of heart failure before enrollment was 3.5 years. About 20% had AF at baseline. Nearly all patients were on ACE-I and half were on digoxin.Trial Procedures There was no run-in period. CIBIS II was double blinded. Slightly more than 2,600 patients were randomized 1:1 to bisoprolol or placebo in 274 hospitals across 18 countries.Patients in the bisoprolol group were started at 1.25 mg daily and titrated up weekly to as high as 10 mg daily. The goal was to attempt the highest tolerated dose. Patients were seen every 3 months.Endpoints The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality. Secondary endpoints included all-cause hospital admissions, cardiovascular mortality, combined CV death and CV hospital admissions, and premature treatment withdrawals.The authors estimated a 11.2% mortality in the placebo group and powered the trial to find a 25% reduction in death in the bisoprolol arm over 2 years.Results The trial was sopped early (mean follow-up 1.3 years) after the planned second interim analysis for benefit. The primary outcome of all-cause death occurred in 11.8% in the bisoprolol group vs 17.3% in the placebo arm (HR 0.66 (95% CI 0.54-0.81, p < 0.0001)).Bisoprolol reduced sudden death (3.6% vs 6.3%), all-cause hospitalization (33% vs 39%), CV death (9% vs 12%). Permanent treatment withdrawal occurred in 15% of both arms.The subgroup analysis showed no substantial treatment heterogeneity. The most common dose was 10 mg daily reached in 43% of patients.Conclusion The 34% reduction in death was clinically meaningful and statistically robust. Our confidence in such a large effect size stems from a) previous data on beta-blockers, which found similar effects, b) the 42% reduction in sudden death in the bisoprolol arm and c) the large reductions in all-cause hospitalization. In addition, the trial conduct appeared strong with almost no lost-to-follow up. The lack of run-in period strengthens the external validity of CIBIS II.The same caveats seen in the US carvedilol trial also apply to CIBIS II, namely that patients were ambulatory, outpatients, mostly with Class III symptoms. Patients enrolled in the trial had a mean SBP of 130 mmHg and a resting heart rate of 80. Nearly all patients were tolerating ACE-I and half were taking digoxin. In addition, patients were started on low-dose and gradually titrated higher. The majority of patients were on higher than 5 mg daily.The authors warned against applying these results to non-ambulatory patients with Class IV symptoms, especially if there was recent instability.
