About 7% of veterans experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and that number can be closer to 30% for those who have served in a war zone.  But PTSD has been treated pretty much the same way since the disorder was first recognized roughly four decades ago: Patients are instructed to revisit their trauma until the memory no longer creates an emotional response. This process can be so harrowing that over half of veterans are unable to complete the full course of treatment. But what if there was a way for PTSD treatment to be virtually painless?Host Flora Lichtman talks with Yasmin Tayag, staff writer at The Atlantic, who explored a controversial treatment called Reconsolidation of Traumatic Memories, and the challenges of even studying a treatment that bucks conventional wisdom.  Guest: Yasmin Tayag is a staff reporter for The Atlantic.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.  Subscribe to this podcast.

Is It Worth It? Danny on Continuity, Value, and Recurring Revenue in Cash PT In this episode, Danny tackles one of the most overlooked and misunderstood elements of running a successful cash-based practice: continuity. What do you do when patients want to keep coming back—long after the “problem” is solved? Are you really worth $200/hour when you're no longer rehabbing an acute injury? Dan breaks down why ongoing care is not only valid, but vital for your patients and your business.

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?

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. Guests: Amanda M. Johnson, M.D., and Victor G. Chedid, M.D., M.S. This podcast continues our series on inflammatory bowel disease. The topic is important and timely: “Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Special Populations: The Elderly, the Obese and the LGBTQ Patient.” It's critical that we broaden our perspective in addressing the unique challenges faced by these often-unrecognized population groups. How common is the presentation of inflammatory bowel disease in those over 65? How does age affect the treatments commonly used? Does obesity alter the disease presentation or activity and what are some of the unique challenges our LGBTQ patients face with inflammatory bowel disease? These are just some of the questions I'll be asking my guests, Amanda M. Johnson, M.D., and Victor G. Chedid, M.D., M.S., both gastroenterologists at the Mayo Clinic. https://ce.mayo.edu/content/mayo-clinic-talks-inflammatory-bowel-disease Connect with us and learn more here: https://ce.mayo.edu/online-education/content/mayo-clinic-podcasts

Stacey is seemingly living the dream. Working as a social media manager and patient advocate for Rare Patient Voice, she balances work with being a wife, mother, dog mom, caregiver, and pursuing her goal of a happy healthy home on the islands of Hawaii. For most people the normal struggles with preparing for your oldest to graduate high school and your youngest to enter middle school are enough. Stacey has taken on those challenges as well as health related twists and turns, not only with herself, but also her daughter.  Stacey and her daughter Iris had parallel health crises on the small island that they call home. When her daughter was just 4 days old she had blood in her diapers and that started a journey that ended in an overnight flight to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). She was eventually diagnosed with Crohn's Disease around her third birthday. This, alongside allergies to dairy, tree nuts, peanuts, and eggs made her growth and development an uphill battle for much of her childhood before current treatments like biologics proved more effective. Before her daughter's diagnosis Stacey had been thinking her fatigue was just the stress of working and raising two kids. That was until the day she found a lump in her neck and was quickly diagnosed with thyroid cancer. Thankfully surgery was quick and successful, but the long term effects of having half of a thyroid continue to this day.  These experiences have led Stacey to the position she holds now, working for Rare Patient Voice. They work to connect patients with rare diseases and companies looking to do focus groups and surveys about the lived experience of people with rare and chronic illnesses. This work connecting patients to paid opportunities to share their experiences as well as acting as a patient advocate has allowed Stacey to use her personal experience to create community around the world, centered around health challenges that people often experience in isolation.

Tucked deep within the brain and no larger than a pea, the pituitary gland is often called the body's “master gland.” It oversees the endocrine system—a network of glands and organs that produce hormones regulating everything from growth and metabolism to reproduction and mood. At Pacific Neuroscience Institute's Pituitary Disorders Center, endocrinologist Dr. Noa Tal specializes in identifying and treating hormone and endocrine imbalances. Patients may present with a wide range of symptoms—unexplained weight gain, irregular menstrual cycles, hot flashes, or mood changes—that often seem unrelated. In cases like Cushing's disease, a pituitary tumor triggers excess cortisol production, resulting in a puzzling array of symptoms. Sometimes the cause is even more elusive, such as side effects from medications. That's where careful clinical investigation comes in. Dr. Tal and her interdisciplinary team work closely to uncover the root of hormonal issues and guide patients toward not just better outcomes, but better quality of life. Listen in!

Patience involves understanding timing, an element in this world that is beyond our control. Yet, being patient is within our control. It is a force of our will to restrain from selfish desires, from pushing ahead when we need to stand still and let God be God.

Disparities in Treatment and Referral After an Opioid Overdose Among Emergency Department Patients  JAMA Network Open This cohort study of 1,683 patients assessed if there are racial and ethnic disparities in treatment referral rates among patients in the emergency department (ED) with opioid overdose.  It found a statistically significant difference in the proportion of Black patients who received an outpatient treatment referral (5.7%) compared with White patients (9.6%). These findings suggest that Black patients presenting to the ED with opioid overdose may be less likely to receive outpatient treatment referrals, underscoring the need for targeted intervention and enhanced referral processes.   Read this issue of the ASAM Weekly Subscribe to the ASAM Weekly Visit ASAM

How a Years Worth of Experience of PFA for AF has Revolutionized My Practice   Guest: Christopher DeSimone, M.D., Ph.D. Guest: Abhishek Deshmukh, M.B.B.S. Host: Anthony H. Kashou, M.D.   Patients most commonly have undergone traditional catheter ablation for AF via a thermal energy source. A newer energy modality is called Pulsed Field Ablation – using very high energy pulsation of strong voltages to destroy tissue responsible for AF. At Mayo Clinic, we have significant expertise in using this technology for our patients. This has changed our ablation practice, approach to ablation, and has made a tremendous impact on AF management.    Topics Discussed: How has the implementation of PFA for AFib changed your practice? What are some of the benefits of offering patients PFA? How has experience with this technology reflected your ablation approach? Where is the field of PFA heading to next for AFib?

She's also the founder of MedShadow Foundation, a nonprofit that helps people understand the real risks of medications without the spin of pharmaceutical companies. And it's personal for her.Suzanne was born into this fight. A drug called DES, prescribed to her mother during pregnancy, led to her own infertility. That experience set her on a decades-long mission to stop another DES from ever happening again. She got trained, joined FDA drug safety committees, and built a trusted platform to empower millions of patients to make informed choices.In this episode, we talk about how few people participate in drug trials before the meds hit the market, what “post-approval” means, and how patients unknowingly become participants in phase 4 drug experiments. We also dig into the real story behind ADHD diagnoses, Ritalin overuse, and what happened when Suzanne was told to medicate her teenage nephew or risk getting him kicked out of school.This is a deeply honest conversation about what it means to become your own health advocate.“ The real effects of medicines are often kept in the shadows.” ~ Suzanne RobottiAbout Suzanne Robotti:Suzanne Robotti is a nationally recognized drug safety advocate, consumer representative to the FDA, and the founder of MedShadow Foundation — a nonprofit media organization dedicated to informing the public about the risks and side effects of medications. Her journey began after discovering that she was infertile because of prenatal DES exposure. Today, Suzanne speaks widely on the importance of transparency in medicine, shared decision-making, and empowering patients to ask better questions.Connect with Suzanne Robotti:- Website: https://medshadow.org - FDA Advocacy: https://desaction.org - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/medshadowfoundation/ - TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@medshadow_foundation - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/medshadow.foundation - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/MedShadowFoundation Connect with Chris Burres:- Website: https://www.myvitalc.com/ - Website: http://www.livebeyondthenorms.com/ - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisburres/ - TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@myvitalc - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisburres/

From Patient to Purpose: A Nurse Coach's Mission to Transform Organ Donation Support- Taylor Byrer BSN, RN, NC-BC Highlights“I was telling these two about my story and about how I needed a liver. And it was the most moving, most like chilling experience, like every single hair on my body was standing straight, because then the next time that we met, one of them had shared that she had lost her dad, and it was unexpected. And then the hospital staff came to her and asked if he was an organ donor. And she said, ‘No, he wasn't.' And she said, ‘I had never thought about him being an organ donor, like I never thought about that process.'And she said, ‘…and it wasn't until I heard about your story that I said, Yes, I want him to be an organ donor, and he would be okay with that'. And then he was an organ donor. And then she came back to me again a couple weeks later, and she said, Taylor, the only organ that he was able to get was his liver.”  ~Taylor Byrer BSN, RN, NC-BC Ah-Ha MomentsTaylor's story reminds Integrative Nurse Coaches how vital holistic presence and deep listening are during life-altering medical experiencesThis story is a powerful lesson in how lived experiences can shape a meaningful coaching niche.

Contributor: Aaron Lessen, MD Educational Pearls: Many trauma patients are placed on oxygen via non-rebreather A large, multicenter, controlled trial evaluated the outcomes of oxygen administration in trauma patients Patients were randomized to two groups 1. 8-hour restrictive oxygen strategy: only receiving oxygen when the patient's saturation dropped below 94% 2. 8-hour liberal oxygen strategy: 12-15 liters of oxygen per minute or fraction of inspired oxygen of 0.6-1.0 The study evaluated rates of death or major respiratory complications at 30 days There was no statistical difference between the two groups Therefore, there is no clear benefit to administering liberal amounts of oxygen to trauma patients, but there is also no clear harm Ultimately, trauma patients do not need to be on oxygen via non-rebreather unless they are hypoxic or short of breath References Arleth T, Baekgaard J, Siersma V, et al. Early Restrictive vs Liberal Oxygen for Trauma Patients: The TRAUMOX2 Randomized Clinical Trial.

In this episode of 'Patients at Risk,' Angie Pereira shares the heartbreaking story of losing her father due to a misdiagnosed pulmonary embolism by a nurse practitioner in an after-hours clinic. Despite her father's presenting symptoms of shortness of breath and leg pain, strong family history of blood clots, and normal lung exam, the nurse practitioner diagnosed him with pneumonia, leading to his untimely death the next day. Angie emphasizes the need for proper physician oversight and questions the push for independent practice for nurse practitioners. The discussion extends to issues of legislative accountability, corporate healthcare's role in potentially compromising patient care, and the necessity for patients to advocate for themselves to ensure high-quality medical care. Angie's story highlights the broader implications of inadequate training and supervision in healthcare, especially affecting rural communities.PhysiciansForPatientProtection.org

The Skin Real app is officially LIVE! Download it now. In this episode, Dr. Mina chats with Dr. Tara Akunna, a board-certified dermatologist and founder of a virtual dermatology practice in Texas. Together, they dive into how teledermatology is making skin care more accessible, affordable, and flexible, especially for patients juggling full-time jobs, childcare, or long travel distances. From treating acne and eczema online to addressing the concerns around quick-fix prescription apps, Dr. Akunna breaks down what virtual care can (and can't) do, how to ensure you're seeing a qualified provider, and why direct-pay models may actually save patients time and money. If you've ever wondered whether a virtual derm visit is just as effective as an in-person one, this episode is for you. Key Takeaways: - Teledermatology improves access to skin care for busy professionals, parents, and those who live far from in-person providers. - Common conditions like acne, eczema, rosacea, and melasma can often be treated effectively through virtual visits. - Photo uploads (asynchronous care) are often encouraged to enhance video visits and help track changes in skin conditions over time. - Not all telehealth platforms are created equal. Patients should seek care from board-certified dermatologists for personalized, safe treatment. - Direct-pay models may be more affordable than insurance-based care when factoring in time, gas, childcare, and hidden costs. - All ages can benefit from virtual dermatology—many older patients are surprisingly tech-savvy and can participate with some assistance. - Telemedicine boosts patient adherence by reducing barriers like commuting, parking, or time off work for check-ins and refills. - In-person care is still essential for procedures, full skin exams, and concerns that require touch, biopsy, or close inspection. Dr. Tara Akunna is a board-certified dermatologist passionate about delivering accessible, culturally competent care to women of color. Through her virtual practice TaraMD, she offers cash-pay teledermatology services tailored to common skin concerns like acne, hyperpigmentation, and texture — all with transparent pricing and personalized treatment plans. In addition to her virtual work, where she manages a wide range of medical and cosmetic concerns across all skin types. As a content creator, she uses her platform to demystify dermatology, highlight inclusive skincare brands, and empower people to make informed decisions about their skin.
