From Surgeon to CEO: Prof. Marc Possover's Inspiring Journey in Medical Innovation The journey from a successful surgical career to the leadership of a medical company is far from ordinary. Yet for Prof. Marc Possover, this evolution felt like a natural extension of his life's mission: to improve patient outcomes and expand access to advanced treatments in pelvic neurosurgery. In this exclusive episode of the Medical Device Made Easy Podcast, host Monir El Azzouzi invites Prof. Possover to share his story—one that blends clinical excellence, entrepreneurial vision, and a deep commitment to education. A Career Built on Medical Breakthroughs Prof. Possover is internationally recognized as a pioneer in neuropelveology, a specialty dedicated to treating complex pelvic nerve disorders. Over the years, he has developed innovative procedures that offer hope to patients suffering from chronic pain and dysfunctions once considered untreatable. But his ambition has always reached beyond the operating room. By founding his own medical company, he sought to transform groundbreaking surgical techniques into accessible, reproducible therapies that benefit patients worldwide. Why a Surgeon Became a CEO Moving from the precision of surgery to the strategic demands of business might seem like a dramatic shift, but for Prof. Possover it was a continuation of his mission. Becoming a CEO meant taking responsibility not only for individual patients but for the future of the treatments themselves. Leadership allowed him to guide product development, secure resources, and create an ecosystem where new therapies could flourish well beyond his own practice. As he explains in the podcast, “At some point I will retire—or die—but what will remain are the colleagues I trained.” His decision to lead a company ensures that his techniques will survive and continue to evolve, creating impact that outlasts any single career. Patient Education as a Driving Force Throughout the conversation, Prof. Possover emphasizes the vital role of patient education. When patients are aware of new treatment options, they actively seek qualified specialists, creating a natural demand for innovation. This patient-driven movement pressures the medical community to adopt cutting-edge solutions and ensures that life-changing therapies reach those who need them most. By offering information sessions and open discussions, he empowers patients to become advocates for their own health—transforming the doctor–patient relationship into a true partnership. Building a Global Legacy Through Training Prof. Possover's passion for teaching is at the heart of his work. Through the International School of Neuropelveology (ISNP), he trains surgeons from around the world in these advanced procedures. Every surgeon he educates becomes a multiplier of knowledge, capable of treating patients in regions far beyond his own reach. This dedication reflects a philosophy that medicine's greatest achievements are collective. A breakthrough is only meaningful if it can be shared, replicated, and improved upon by future generations. Lessons for Medical Professionals and Entrepreneurs This conversation is more than an inspiring personal story—it is a roadmap for anyone seeking to combine medicine, innovation, and business. Clinical expertise can fuel entrepreneurship when paired with strategic thinking. Patient awareness accelerates adoption, creating a powerful feedback loop between innovation and demand. Education builds permanence, ensuring that treatments survive beyond the careers of their pioneers. Whether you are a surgeon curious about entrepreneurship, a MedTech innovator looking for guidance, or a healthcare professional eager to create lasting change, Prof. Possover's journey demonstrates that the skills learned in medicine—discipline, precision, and empathy—are the very qualities that can drive successful leadership. In this podcast, Monir El Azzouzi and Prof. Marc Possover invite you to reflect on the future of healthcare. Their discussion shows that true medical progress lies not only in discovering new treatments, but also in ensuring that knowledge is shared, patients are informed, and innovations continue to thrive long after their creators have left the stage.

Send us a textKey Opinion Leaders Manal Abdelmalek, Naim Alkhouri, Scott Isaacs and Zobair Younossi join Roger Green to discuss the FDA's approval of semaglutide for patients with non-cirrhotic MASH. This conversation centers on the roles that new technologies and an expanded APP population will play in MASLD and MASH management in the US, and concludes by exploring how care might look different 12 months from now, and then in subsequent years. As panelists identify some of the changes they foresee if we are to manage the tsunami of undiagnosed MASLD patients, many comments touch on themes discussed earlier in this episode. A couple are unique. Zobair and Scott discuss the increased role that artificial intelligence and big data analytics will play in identifying high-risk patients and improving clinical pathways. Additionally, Zobair notes that we must remember that the vast majority of MASLD patients will never develop MASH. Manal foresees a more sophisticated approach to selecting pharmacotherapies as prescribers have a broader set of options, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. Scott anticipates a "paradigm shift" in which endocrinologists view MASH similarly to how they view retinopathy, neuropathy and retinopathy. Naim suggests that one year will not look tremendously different from today, but that five years from now will be an entirely different picture, which he describes in some detail.
Silence is costing your practice more than you think. Every time you put a patient on hold and they hear nothing but dead air—or worse, that same generic tune on repeat—you're missing out on a chance to build trust, educate, and even grow your practice. In this episode, we uncover why silence is expensive and how your on-hold message can become one of the most overlooked marketing tools in dentistry. In this episode of the Raving Patients Podcast, I sit down with John Waller, “The On Hold Guy,” who has been serving the dental industry for over 30 years. Together, we explore how customized on-hold messaging can transform patient experience, strengthen your brand, and increase ROI—all for just a few dollars a day. If you've ever wondered whether patients are tuning out during those long hold times, or how you can turn wasted moments into opportunities, this conversation will show you the way. What You'll Learn in This Episode: The true cost of silence: Why patients hang up when they hear nothing (and how to prevent it). The anatomy of a great on-hold message: From doctor credentials to services, reviews, and even staff shout-outs. Technology made simple: Whether your office runs on VoIP or still uses landlines, implementation is easier than you think. Best practices you should be using: From alternating voice talents to updating scripts quarterly for fresh impact. How on-hold messages boost ROI: Simple tracking methods and patient feedback that prove the value. Creative content ideas: From dental trivia to highlighting employee-of-the-month, keeping patients engaged and connected. — Key Takeaways 00:39 Introduction and Event Announcement 03:20 The Importance of On-Hold Messaging 04:25 Creating Effective On-Hold Messages 07:00 Implementation and Compatibility of On-Hold Systems 08:28 The Role of Patient Education 10:15 Voice Personalization in On-Hold Messages 12:20 Script Writing and Customization 14:23 Best Practices for On-Hold Messaging 19:25 Content Suggestions for On-Hold Messages 22:58 Measuring ROI from On-Hold Messaging 25:10 Trial Period and Getting Started 26:07 Referral Program and Networking 26:49 Lightning Round Q&A 32:05 Conclusion and Contact Information — Connect with John If you'd like to learn more about how The On Hold Experience can help your practice transform silence into a patient education and marketing tool, reach out to John directly: Call/Text: 208-546-8330 Email: theonholdguy@gmail.com Try the 45-Day Free Test Drive — no long-term commitment, just $59/month after.

If your practice's collections aren't where they should be, it might not be because of fewer patients—it could be because your revenue is trapped in insurance company limbo. The truth? Without a rock-solid revenue cycle management (RCM) process, you're leaving money on the table… and adding stress to your team. In this episode of the Raving Patients Podcast, I sit down with Shreyas Parab, co-founder and CEO of Daydream, to explore how AI can revolutionize dental billing without removing the human expertise that keeps claims moving. Shreyas shares his unique perspective—shaped by growing up in his mother's small Medicaid dental practice—on why dental billing is a hidden bottleneck for many offices and how automating key steps can unlock both revenue and time. We break down what “human-in-the-loop” AI really means, how to verify insurance more efficiently, and why complete transparency in billing services is non-negotiable for cash flow health. We also dig into the broader role of AI in dentistry—what's working now, where the technology still falls short, and the untapped opportunities that could transform patient communication and education in the near future. Shreyas provides real-world examples of practices that have recovered hundreds of thousands in aged receivables by combining AI-driven workflows with experienced billers, and why this hybrid approach outperforms both in-house teams and traditional billing agencies. Whether you're currently outsourcing, doing billing in-house, or simply curious about what's possible, this conversation will give you the tools to evaluate your RCM strategy and future-proof your practice against the growing complexity of insurance reimbursement. Here are the interesting stuff we talked about in this episode: Automating bottlenecks works best with expert oversight. Pure AI isn't ready to replace billers—but it can triple their efficiency. Transparency is key. If you can't see exactly what's happening with your claims, you can't fix revenue leaks. Growth magnifies billing challenges. Expanding operatories, adding associates, or buying a new practice will strain in-house billing unless processes scale. Patient communication is an untapped AI opportunity. Future tools could educate patients before appointments, improving case acceptance and freeing up clinical time.

Send us a textThis conversation is the second segment of SurfingMASH's coverage of the Global Think Tank on Steatotic Liver Diseases (#SLDThinkTank2025) held in Barcelona in June. It focuses on the kinds of feedback most likely to produce successful behavioral interventions.The conversation begins with Jörn discussing the Liver Screen Study, a "very ambitious effort" that starts with 30,000 members of the general European population, narrows down to a subgroup with liver disease, and then provides these individuals with information about MASLD and how to manage it, ultimately evaluating its impact. Many of these people did not know about liver disease before being informed they had it, and many changed their behavior as a result. Jörn links this to the EASL Amsterdam activity discussed last week in 6.7.1 and 6.7.2. Louise relates a story of speaking with Laurent Sandrin, Chairman of Echosens and inventor of FibroScan, who was "blown away by the reaction" to making FibroScans available and promoting this fact. Louise explained to Laurent that from her vantage point, FibroScan is "more than just the physical diagnostic. It has the power to engage populations," and, for many, provide the information and motivation they need to change behavior. Kristina describes how we can provide "biofeedback" like this, along with other behavioral strategies, to produce sustainable behavior change, which is far harder for an individual than simply reacting to a medical scare. She describes a model she deploys, the "Combi" model, which integrates an array of informational, motivational and behavioral items into an integrated, individualized approach. The conversation shifts to focus on environmental factors that work against long-term change. For someone with alcohol use disorder, this might be a family member who continues to consume large quantities of alcohol frequently. For someone living with obesity, it might be a favorite high-calorie dish...or even simply food advertising.In the final part of this conversation, Jörn states that the Think Tank steering committee invited politicians to help them understand why certain kinds of interventions — such as taxing medically harmful goods or limiting advertising — might be socially valuable, even if unpopular. The group discussed some governmental tactics that are effective and others that are not.
Send us a textThis week's newsmaker, Dutch Liver Patients Association President Jose Willemse, joins Roger Green to discuss the patient screening program at this year's EASL Congress, which took place in Amsterdam, and the general idea of what constitutes a patient-sensitive dialogue. Jose describes the phenomenal level of interest in the screening activity, in which hepatologists and APPs scanned 400 people per day for MASLD and MASH. Boosted by significant mass publicity in Amsterdam, the number of people seeking screening exceeded the 400/day quota, with some arriving in line hours before the scheduled start time and others traveling for hours to reach the site. Jose believes that with adequate publicity, efforts like these could be replicated around the world, but that the healthcare system lacks the necessary resources to do so. In terms of physician-patient dialogues, Jose emphasized the importance of sensitive yet frank conversations and helping patients appreciate the successes they are achieving.
How future doctors are navigating social media's impact on public education. How can a well-meaning medfluencer be sure they're actually helping? M1 Zach Grissom, M2 Fallon Jung, M3 Jeff Goddard, and M4 Matt Engelken sit down with third-year DO student Nik Bletnitsky to discuss the role of social media in medical education. Current and Future doctors are increasingly using these platforms to share medical knowledge—but, even if you're careful to offer the best information, what are the hidden dangers? The conversation covers the sometimes blurry line between education, misinformation, and contradicting someone's doctor's advice. How disclaimers work (or don't), and why the Dunning-Kruger effect can turn a curious patient into an overconfident self-diagnoser. Should doctors be influencers? Can patients trust what they see online? And is it possible to make medical knowledge accessible without accidentally making things worse?

Understanding its origins and the strategic interventions available can significantly improve patient outcomes. Here, we delve into the approach to diagnosing and treating shoulder pain, based on an insightful discussion between two seasoned practitioners exploring the anatomy and pathology of shoulder complications. Recognizing the Root Cause of Shoulder Pain Shoulder pain often masks its true source. It might manifest as discomfort between the shoulder blades, often misleading practitioners to consider muscle strain as the primary cause. However, deeper exploration usually reveals that the disc is a more likely culprit. In cases where a patient describes pain akin to "a knife between the shoulder blades," the immediate focus should be on discs 4-5 and 5-6. A strategic approach targets the discs to alleviate the most severe pain, followed by nerve treatment, which is crucial in reducing persistent discomfort. The Transition from Frequency to Strategy in Treatment Treatment has evolved significantly over the past two decades. The transition from a frequency-based to a strategy-focused approach reflects a deeper understanding gained from years of practice and evolving patient outcomes. This involves assessing shoulder mechanics holistically and addressing sequelae like nerve irritation and muscle imbalance. In chronic and acute cases, the intervention sequence becomes critical: reducing nerve irritation, restoring proper mechanics, and ensuring the subscapularis and pec minor are addressed to prevent further injury. The Role of the Environment and Lifestyle in Pain Management Environmental and lifestyle factors contribute profoundly to shoulder health. Misalignment in everyday activities or prolonged stress due to poor posture can exacerbate shoulder pain and complicate recovery. It's vital for practitioners to investigate these daily life contributors—such as ergonomics during computer use or mundane activities like lifting objects. Encouraging patients to maintain activity logs can help identify subtle but impactful triggers; practitioners can then guide them to modify such activities to prevent flare-ups. Comprehensive, Collaborative Care Collaboration in care can't be overstated. For chronic conditions that stubbornly resist resolution, a comprehensive team approach can uncover the unseen nuances of the patient's condition. It's about combining FSM with other therapeutic modalities to address not only the mechanical but also the nutritional and emotional aspects affecting patients' conditions. Practitioners are encouraged to embrace a collaborative model where knowledge and treatment strategies are shared and integrated across disciplines to optimize patient recovery and reduce recurrence. Empowering Patients Through Education Patient education is indispensable in managing shoulder pain. Practitioners should communicate clearly about how seemingly trivial actions can have cascading effects on their condition. Understanding that no magical cure exists but rather a pathway to gradual recovery helps demystify the process and empowers patients. Encouraging self-awareness and providing them with the tools to recognize early symptoms and lifestyle triggers are essential steps toward sustaining their wellness. Building a Decades-Long Legacy With this strategic and compassionate approach, FSM and related treatments promise an enduring legacy in modern medicine. Bridging the gap between frequency-specific therapies and comprehensive care strategies continues to expand, offering medical practitioners robust methods to enhance patient outcomes. By continuously updating their knowledge and collaborating across specialties, practitioners can ensure that they are not only solving but also learning from each new case they encounter.

We have a special guest on today's episode whose voice will be familiar to regular listeners. Last year at this time, Dr. Raven Baxter occupied the Raise the Line host chair for a special ten-part series we produced in collaboration with the Cohen Center for Recovery from Complex Chronic Illness (CoRe) at Mount Sinai in New York City, where she serves as the Director of Science Communication. The series explored the latest understandings of post-acute infection syndromes -- such as Chronic Lyme and Long COVID -- with an array of experts from the Center and other researchers and providers. In this episode, we check-in with Dr. Baxter to get an update on the work of the Cohen Center, especially with regard to its mission to educate providers. “We're building programs so that clinicians can earn credit for learning about chronic illnesses that are infection associated, and we've also developed a 200-page provider manual. I really think that we will be able to shift the narrative that currently exists,” Dr. Baxter tells host Michael Carrese. That narrative includes lingering skepticism among providers of some infection-associated illnesses, which Dr. Baxter witnessed herself as a Long COVID patient, an experience that has added meaningful perspective to her work. Dr. Baxter is also working on her own time to advance knowledge and combat misinformation through a robust social media presence as “The Science Maven” and helps other scientists and clinicians to do the same. "If we're not there to fill in that void, other people will fill it for us and the narrative may not be consistent with the truth or facts." This is a great opportunity to learn about the art and science of communications that can reach clinicians and patients alike.Mentioned in this episode:Cohen Center for Recovery from Complex Chronic IllnessThe Science Maven If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

Episode DescriptionAudra Moran is the President and CEO of OCRA—Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance—which means she spends her days doing things most of us wouldn't survive five minutes doing: merging nonprofits, leading national patient support programs, funding lifesaving research, surviving pharma grant hell, and trying to reach every woman in America who might be slipping through the cracks. We talk about her time working with the Helen Keller National Center (yes, she knows finger spelling), her accidental journey into cancer nonprofit leadership, the weirdness of dermoid cysts, the ridiculousness of writing grants, and the absolute hellscape of diagnosis delay. Oh, and the fallopian tubes. You'll never look at them the same way again.This episode is funny, raw, deeply personal, and loaded with Gen X movie references and random facts about Paul Rudd, Terminator 2, and flipbook apps at 3am. Audra drops wisdom, humility, and a few hot takes on AI, advocacy, and what it really means to lead when the boulder keeps rolling downhill.RELATED LINKSAudra Moran on LinkedInOvarian Cancer Research Alliance (OCRA)Audra's profile on OCRACURE Today interview: Leading the FightOCRA + AI & Data: Overlooked PodcastFEEDBACKLike this episode?

Christine Verini is a pharmacist by training, a nonprofit CEO by title, and an unapologetic empath by design. She now leads CancerCare, one of the oldest, least-known, and most impactful organizations in the country that actually helps real cancer patients deal with the practical garbage no one likes to talk about—like paying rent, affording a ride to chemo, or feeding their kids.We talk about her career pivot from industry to impact, what it's like trying to scale empathy without losing your soul, and the daily gut-punch of knowing there are millions of people who still have no idea that CancerCare exists. Christine gets real about leadership, advocacy, burnout, and why being “pan-cancer” matters more than ever in a world obsessed with biomarkers, buckets, and branding.She also dishes on what AI gets dead wrong, what patients actually want when they call for help, and why “ghosting” someone with cancer is still a thing. Buckle up. This one's packed with heart, brains, and a little righteous rage.RELATED LINKSCancerCareChristine Verini on LinkedInChristine's CEO Announcement – PR NewswireCancer Health 25: Christine VeriniChristine on HealthyWomenBIO Convention Speaker ProfileFEEDBACKLike this episode?
