Prognosis Over Price: A Simple Hack to Boost Sales Conversions In this episode, Doc Danny Matta unpacks one of the most common struggles in cash-based PT: helping staff (and owners) get comfortable with sales. Drawing from years of coaching, Danny shares a simple “prognosis-first” approach that removes the stress around money and makes closing plans of care natural and effective. Episode Summary The sales hurdle: Many clinicians (especially new grads) struggle with money conversations. Danny's early mistakes: Starting at $175/session, no packages, offering weak 3-visit plans. The prognosis hack: Forget cost—present what's clinically needed based on diagnosis and desired outcome. Why it works: Patients trust clarity, honesty, and confidence more than discounts or options. Staff training tip: Anchor staff to prognosis, then be quiet—let the patient decide. Key Takeaways Prognosis > Price: Tie your recommendations to outcomes, not dollar signs. Confidence closes: Patients sense discomfort; clear communication builds trust. Education wins: Patients invest when they understand timeframes, healing, and next steps. Less talking, more listening: Present the plan, then pause—don't talk them out of it. Pro Tips You Can Use Today Have staff present plans in terms of visits + timeline, not dollars. Use a simple handout with care plan options—let patients point to their choice. Practice being silent after presenting prognosis; resist filling the gap. Role-play money conversations until staff are comfortable staying clinical. Notable Quotes “Forget about the plan of care cost. Focus completely on the prognosis.” “It's not hard to sell when you're clear, confident, and opposite of the traditional medical experience.” “Patients invest when they understand exactly what it takes to solve their problem long-term.” Action Items Re-train staff to frame care plans around prognosis, not price. Create one-page prognosis templates for common injuries. Practice silence—say what's needed, then stop talking. Track conversion rates before and after implementing this hack.

Dr. Audrey Kershaw returns to chat with Dr. Linda Bluestein and demystify wisdom tooth extraction, appliances for TMJ disorder, and everyday oral health habits for people with EDS/HSD. We cover when third molars should be removed (and when they shouldn't), why local anesthetic can fail in some patients, how to approach dental procedures when CCI (craniocervical instability) is a concern, and what truly drives gum disease vs “EDS-specific” issues. We also address periodontal EDS (a rare subtype), toothpaste choices (fluoride vs hydroxyapatite vs chelators), and the surprisingly powerful habit of “spit, don't rinse.” Stay to the end for practical Hypermobility Hacks you can implement tonight. Takeaways Is wisdom teeth surgery happening too often… or dangerously too late? What if the biggest risk during oral surgery isn't the tooth—but how your neck is positioned? Why do some people with EDS feel every cut and drill—even after “getting numb”? Could one cheap hack—“spit, don't rinse”—protect your teeth better than $30 toothpaste? Are sharks hiding the secret to stronger enamel in your bathroom cabinet? Find the episode transcript here.

In this episode, we cover: How to embrace situations as they come without spiraling when plans change The power of mindfulness and accepting impermanence in difficult times Ways to stay flexible, cultivate gratitude, and detach from rigid outcomes Why humor, lightheartedness, and community support matter in tough moments Practical steps for prioritizing self-care, limiting overthinking, and trusting the journey Would you like to learn more about IVF?Click here to join Dr. Aimee for The IVF Class.

What happens when you stop chasing returns and start investing in purpose?Ron Diamond, Founder and Chairman of Diamond Wealth, believes the future of finance isn't just about building wealth—it's about what that wealth can do. As a trusted advisor to over 100 family offices ranging from $250 million to $30 billion, Ron has spent more than two decades helping ultra-wealthy families align their capital with causes that matter.In this episode, Ron shares how the collapse of Drexel Burnham shaped his perspective on loyalty, legacy, and leadership—and why “patient capital” is poised to disrupt the short-termism of private equity. We explore how purpose-driven investing is solving real-world challenges, from cancer to climate, and what it takes to build sustainable family office infrastructure in an era of unprecedented generational wealth transfer.And the timing couldn't be more relevant: family offices are no longer niche players. The number of single-family offices has surged 31% since 2019, with projections reaching over 10,700 globally by 2030. As trillions of dollars transition to the next generation, Ron offers a front-row seat to the values, strategies, and systems needed to steward that wealth wisely.Ron is also the Founder, Host, and CEO of Family Office World Media, and helped establish the Family Office Program for TIGER 21, where he chairs a national peer group. He lectures at Oxford, Stanford, Harvard, and the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, and was recently appointed Editor-in-Chief of The National Law Review's first Family Office newsletter. A LinkedIn Top Voice, TEDx speaker, and former hedge fund founder, Ron began his career on Wall Street at Bear Stearns and Drexel Burnham.Key TakeawaysPeople Over Companies: Ron's experience during Drexel's collapse taught him that relationships—not institutions—are what endure.Patient Capital Is a Game-Changer: Family offices can think in decades, not quarters, offering strategic advantage over traditional funds.Purpose Before Profit: Legacy and social impact must anchor investment decisions.Professionalization Is Essential: Governance, infrastructure, and talent are what turn capital into capability.The Ego Barrier: Great wealth doesn't guarantee great management—humility is crucial for longevity.Five Core Principles from Ron Diamond1. Guiding North Star: Profit with PurposeAnchor investments in something bigger than financial return—personal mission, legacy, or societal impact. → Tip: Define your North Star early and align capital accordingly.2. Trust & Relationships FirstBack character over credentials. Trust and personal integrity build more resilient partnerships than models or metrics. → Tip: Focus on people, not pitch decks.3. Patient, Long-Term CapitalThink in decades, not exit cycles. Family offices can outperform by holding steady and avoiding short-termism. → Tip: Let compounding do the heavy lifting.4. Professionalizing Family OfficesFamily offices must evolve beyond legacy systems—invest in governance, talent, and infrastructure like any top-tier fund. → Tip: Treat talent as a profit center, not a cost.5. Entrepreneurial PhilanthropyDeploy strategic, venture-style capital into social challenges. Purpose and profit can—and should—coexist. → Tip: Apply the same rigor to social impact as you do to your investments.Episode Highlights00:00 – Episode...

Ange Postecoglou is known for his footballing principles and comes with a reputation (perhaps unfairly) for playing an ultra attacking style with a high line. So how quickly should he look to make changes at Nottingham Forest? How quickly can he move with six games before the October international break?

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is, by all accounts, a painful disease.An estimated 3 million Americans live with HS, which is most commonly identified by flare ups as well as painful and unflattering lumps under the skin.Over the past few years, drugmakers have launched campaigns and marketing efforts to bring greater attention and understanding to the disease.Recently, Incyte launched HS Truths – an educational campaign to shine a spotlight on the physical symptoms of the disease as well as the associated mental health challenges.Patient-led, HS Truths provides insights into how frustrating it can be to live with the disease before receiving a proper medical diagnosis – which occurs after an average of seven to 10 years.This week, Managing Editor Jack O'Brien is joined by Stephenie Atkins, senior director, brand lead product strategy and marketing at Incyte, to discuss HS Truths and how it serves to elevate the profile of HS as a disease state.And for our Trends segment, we're talking about all things related to the continued splintering of vaccine policy uniformity in America under Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s leadership at HHS.Music: “Deep Reflection” by DP and Triple Scoop Music. Step into the future of health media at the MM+M Media Summit on October 30th, 2025 live in NYC!

Evaluation of a Novel Patient-Centered Methadone Restart Protocol 

Patient engagement stands as the cornerstone of perioperative safety, bringing together the knowledge of medical professionals with the lived experiences of those receiving care. Through powerful personal testimonies and expert insights, we explore how this critical partnership transforms surgical outcomes.Vonda Vaden Bates shares her heartbreaking journey that began with her husband's successful brain surgery but ended tragically with a fatal pulmonary embolism. Despite their active engagement with the healthcare team, a crucial knowledge gap existed - they didn't recognize the symptoms of a developing blood clot. This experience crystalized what Vonda calls "the intersection of engagement with education," highlighting why simply asking questions isn't enough when patients don't know which questions are most crucial.The episode explores the comprehensive Patient Guide to Anesthesia and Surgery developed by the APSF, covering everything from understanding anesthesia types to post-surgical pain management strategies. This resource aims not just to inform but to empower patients to actively participate in their care journey, potentially taking preventative steps long before the morning of surgery.Dr. Della Lin, an anesthesiologist and APSF board member, offers a profound perspective that reshapes how we think about the patient-provider relationship: "Patients are not the visitors to hospitals; we are visitors in their lives." This fundamental shift moves healthcare away from doing things to or for patients toward genuinely co-designing care with them. The APSF resources undergo rigorous review by both clinicians and patients, ensuring they address real questions using accessible language and helpful visuals. We encourage anesthesia professionals to not only share these materials but to study them as tools for better understanding patient perspectives.

Interview with Mary Ellen Sheridan, RN

Neuropathyct.com1) Symptoms usually creep forward More numbness, burning, pins-and-needles, and sensitivity changes over time. (NINDS)2) Sleep gets hammered Neuropathic pain commonly disrupts sleep, which then worsens pain perception the next day. (ScienceDirect, PMC)3) Balance confidence drops; fall risk rises Loss of sensation and vibration sense increases falls and near-falls—especially in older adults. (PMC, PubMed, Frontiers)4) Foot problems can snowball (especially with diabetes) Delayed care → unnoticed injuries/ulcers → infection → higher chance of amputation if things progress. (NCBI, PMC)5) Daily function and quality of life shrink People report limits in walking, standing, hobbies, and overall well-being. Mood and anxiety often worsen. (Nature, PMC)6) Heavier reliance on pain meds without addressing nerve function Drugs like gabapentin/pregabalin/duloxetine may help pain for some, but results vary and they don't restore nerve function. (Patients should never change meds without their prescriber.) (ScienceDirect, Mayo Clinic Proceedings, PMC)7) Hidden injuries are easier to miss Reduced sensation means burns, cuts, or shoe-related wounds can go unnoticed and worsen.

Send us a textThis discussion on ways to improve MASH patient management comes from the early July roundtable on "Major Issues of the First Six Months of 2025." As a reminder, that roundtable included the three co-hosts (Louise, Jörn Schattenberg and Roger Green) Louise drives this conversation based on two related issues she sees emerging: (i) increasing opportunities for motivated patients to manage their own health and (ii) managing the total patient in an environment where people may be taking incretin agonists as if they are consumer drugs. With increased access to scanning, providers can monitor patients (and patients can self-monitor) more closely. However, some of the issues a provider might find are tricky: patients who undertake what Louise describes as "the sneaky areas patients think are normal, but are probably contributing to disease" due to miseducation or no education on healthy eating and lifestyle, or patients purchasing and using incretin agonists through consumer channels, but possibly at subtherapeutic doses. Vigilance and probing are key here, but health systems will need to train more people on the types of probing that uncover underlying issues and behaviors that patients mistakenly believe to be healthy. The discussion also extends to the role of NITs in diagnosis and patient management, and how providers need to shift the paradigm away from describing a patient by fibrosis stage and instead focus on the amount of fat in the liver and its overall suppleness.

In Haiti’s capital, doctors work under fire as armed groups close in. With most hospitals shut, Tabarre is one of the last still open. Patients bleed, burn, and beg for care while doctors risk all to treat them. Can Haiti’s wounded – and those who heal them – find a way to survive?

Andy and Randy talk about the loss for the Falcons and take some calls from listeners who share their thoughts and emotions after Week 1.

In this fascinating episode of Parallax, Dr Ankur Kalra sits down with Dr Alexander Fanaroff, an interventional cardiologist, clinical trialist, and behavioral economist at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr Fanaroff brings a unique perspective to cardiovascular medicine, combining his expertise in interventional cardiology with cutting-edge insights from behavioral economics to transform how we approach patient care and clinical decision-making. Dr Fanaroff demystifies behavioral economics for the medical community, explaining how this field studies real-world decision-making beyond traditional economic models. He introduces key concepts like status quo bias, prospect theory, and the power of defaults in shaping both physician and patient behaviors. Through compelling examples, including Penn's successful intervention that increased 90-day statin prescriptions from 70% to 90% simply by changing EHR defaults, Dr Fanaroff demonstrates how small design changes can yield significant clinical improvements. Looking beyond individual interventions, Dr Fanaroff discusses how behavioral economics can address healthcare disparities by creating system-wide improvements that lift all patients while specifically targeting underserved communities. He envisions a future where AI identifies at-risk patients from routine imaging, and where interventional cardiologists focus not just on procedural excellence but on ensuring optimal long-term medical management through thoughtfully designed care systems. Questions and comments can be sent to "podcast@radcliffe-group.com" and may be answered by Ankur in the next episode.
