What if the most important care in the entire healthcare system is also the most underfunded? While hospitals and inpatient reimbursements rise with inflation, the physician fee schedule has quietly declined roughly 33% in real terms over 25 years — and this year it's facing another cut. In this episode, Jamie Preston sits down with Your Health CEO Matt Staub, just back from Capitol Hill, where he spent a record-setting 95-degree day meeting with seven legislative offices to advocate for physicians, providers, and the patients they serve across rural South Carolina, Georgia, and beyond. What follows is part field report, part reflection on why preventive primary care saves money and lives — and why we plan meticulously for weddings, retirement, and vacations, but treat our own health with a "call us if something happens" approach. In this conversation: Why a 2.5–5% physician fee cut hits frontline rural practices hardest The bipartisan doctors' caucus and the real appetite for reform Why winning can come from a loss — the Kobe Bryant mindset on process over outcome How a Disney ride (Spaceship Earth) reframes humanity's whole story around communication The case for proactive, team-based primary care over reactive sick visits Press play for a conversation about advocacy, communication, and a simple, powerful idea: the change you need to make starts with you.

In this episode of the NCS Podcast Currents series, host Lauren Koffman, DO, MS, speaks with Ryan Hakimi, DO, MS, a neurointensivist at Prisma Health and member of the Neurocritical Care Society Board of Directors, about his Currents article, "The Business of Neurocritical Care: Understanding Physician Benefits." Dr. Hakimi explores the often-overlooked financial side of physician compensation, focusing on how retirement benefits can meaningfully shape the overall value of an employment offer. He explains the differences between 401(a), 403(b), 401(k), and 457(b) plans, including employer contributions, tax advantages, vesting periods and expense ratios. He also discusses why a lower base salary may sometimes be offset by a stronger overall benefits package. The conversation highlights why physicians should request and review benefits information during contract negotiations rather than focusing only on salary, title and work expectations. This episode offers practical guidance for physicians seeking to better understand the long-term financial impact of their benefits package and make more informed career decisions.

00:00 And welcome to the program on your Friday afternoon. Started out chilly this morning, but warmed up kind of nice today. Everybody's looking forward to the weekend. I absolutely understand that. I got to start the show off today with a question for you. Do you guys know of anything that is going on at Prisma Health in Easley? I saw one report, just one little blip. 00:27 and then nothing else after that. if you know of anything that is going on at Prisma Health and Easley, please let me know. We would love to get the information out there. Again, I don't have a whole lot of information. At least I don't want to give the information that I have because I only got one source for that and I'm not real positive about the source. So if you guys know of anything that's going on at Prisma Health and Easley, please let me know. Well, 00:56 If you're planning on traveling this weekend, you definitely want to make sure that you leave for the airport very early. Much earlier than normal. Listen to this. In Houston, for example, officials at Hobby Airport are telling passengers to show up three to four hours before their flights just to make sure they get through TSA checkpoints on time. 01:24 I'm very empathetic to the people that are having to deal with the three, four, five hour lines because obviously it's spring break. My flight is at five o'clock and I'm here at what is it, 1.30? So I'm trying to not get stuck. I expected it in a third world country but here, how long does it take to resolve the issue with the government? It's not, to me, it's shocking. 01:46 And this morning DHS says more than 300 of its TSA workers have quit since February at the start of this partial government shutdown. CBS News reports absences have more than doubled and Denver Airport is even asking for donations of grocery store and gas gift cards for TSA workers who are now set to miss a full paycheck tomorrow. 02:12 I mean, you know, part of me can't blame these folks. They're out there working. They're not getting paid. Why? Because Chuck Schumer and the Democrats have kept that section of the government shut down with the help of John Thune. And the reason that I say with the help of John Thune is because the Democrats have the power to shut down the government and John Thune continues to give them 02:42 the power to shut down the government. All John Thune has got to do is do away with the filibuster. Bada boom, bada bing, everything is funded. But this just isn't in places like Houston or Denver. The Greenville Spartanburg Airport District is launching a food and personal essentials drive today to support federal employees. 03:08 The effort is designed to assist transportation security administration agents and Customs and Border Protection officers impacted by the ongoing partial government shutdown. This is from Nicolette Miller. The drive seeks donations of self-stable food, household goods, and personal items for federal officers and their families. The airport district previously organized a similar support effort during a federal government shutdown in October of 2025. 03:37 Donations can be dropped off daily between 7 and 7. The airport district has established two collection points for the public, the information center inside the terminal and the valet parking kiosk. The district will organize and distribute all collected items through a pop-up pantry. Airport leadership highlighted the necessity of these federal roles in maintaining regional travel. And this will keep going on until this shutdown. 04:07 is stopped. 04:10 Now my question is, when's it going to stop? When is it going to stop? Because remember, not only is TSA down, but also DHS is down, Department of Homeland Security. Also FEMA is down. Also the Coast Guard is down. They're not getting, none of those people are getting paid right now. 04:34 because the Democrats are having a hissy fit over ICE. Now, what is up and running? What is not being af ...

Welcome to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked, where we dive into the latest news on Ozempic from medical breakthroughs to real-life health impacts.Recent Cochrane reviews commissioned by the World Health Organization show that Ozempic, or semaglutide, leads to about eleven percent average weight loss after six to eighteen months in people with obesity, outperforming placebo in eighteen trials with nearly twenty-eight thousand participants. Tirzepatide, like Mounjaro, achieves even more at sixteen percent, while liraglutide offers four to five percent. These glucagon-like peptide-one drugs mimic a hormone that slows digestion and boosts fullness, originally for type two diabetes but now key for weight management with diet and exercise.Cochrane researchers note benefits persist during treatment but highlight gaps: most trials were industry-funded, long-term safety data is limited, and side effects like nausea affect many, with some dropping out. No clear edge on heart events or death versus placebo yet.A Rutgers Health study in the Journal of Medical Internet Research analyzed sixty online reviews and found sixty-seven percent of users report weight loss, less appetite, or fewer cravings, making them stick with it despite nausea or vomiting in sixty-two percent. Lead author Abanoub Armanious says everyday experiences show benefits often outweigh gut issues for motivated users. Bariatric expert Mir Ali adds diarrhea or pain prompts more quits than nausea.Newer buzz includes Ozempic face: rapid fat loss causes gaunt cheeks, per a Gujranwala Medical College analysis and American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery survey, boosting filler demand by fifty percent. Weight regain post-treatment is common, stressing lifestyle pairing.Wegovy now offers semaglutide pills like Rybelsus, matching injections for seventeen percent loss with changes, per Prisma Health's Eva Wolf.Listeners, blend these tools with habits for lasting wins.

In this edition of the EMS One-Stop podcast, host Rob Lawrence Zooms (literally) from the U.K. to South Carolina to spotlight one of the nation's most forward-thinking mobile integrated healthcare programs. Prisma Health's team has taken community paramedicine beyond buzzwords, designing targeted, evidence-based programs that meet people where they are — both geographically and medically. | MORE: How North Dakota EMS is confronting rising pediatric mental health crises  Whether it's addiction medicine, rural HIV/HCV treatment or skilled nursing interventions, this team is shifting paradigms on what EMS can and should be doing. Rob is joined by four key voices from the Prisma Health MIH program: Luke Estes, director of MIH Dr. Mirinda Gormley, epidemiologist and biostatistician Wes Wampler, community paramedic specializing in addiction and infectious disease Parker Bailes, community paramedic and research contributor Together, they unpack how passion meets data to drive change, how to earn trust in communities overlooked by traditional systems, and why this work isn't just novel — it's necessary. This is EMS in its truest public health form. Memorable quotes “You delivered the goods—data-driven, community-connected care — and that's what EMS in 2025 needs more of.” — Rob Lawrence “When you see some of your people who have a passion for a certain pathway in EMS, you try to give them the reins and say, you're gonna do some good.” — Luke Estes “One of the big things that we learned from his study was that we really needed to go out and make sure everybody was aware that addiction is a disease.” — Mirinda Gormley “If we can gain their trust, there's a lot more that we can kind of weasel our way into to help them solve and get them on a healthier trajectory.” — Wes Wampler “Walking into the (care) facility with the mindset of, ‘I'm going to do everything I can to keep you here,' was a big shift for me.” — Parker Bailes “If we can set them up to be successful after they leave the hospital, I think that's the best way to get them reengaged with the hospital.” — Wes Wampler “As their leader … all I have to say is, what do you need? I'm here to support you.” — Luke Estes Additional resources EMS Clinician Perceptions on Prehospital Buprenorphine Administration Programs: Prehospital Emergency Care: Vol 29 , No 4 Implementation Barriers of Prehospital Buprenorphine Administration Programs in the United States: A Scoping Review: Prehospital Emergency Care: Vol 29 , No 4 Using Community Paramedicine to Treat Hepatitis C Virus in Upstate South Carolina - PMC Luke Estes BA, NRP, CCEMTP, PNCCT, FP-C, CP-C | LinkedIn Wesley Wampler | LinkedIn Support for harm reduction by community EMS How does a community re-imagine compassion to avoid crisis whenever possible?

Douglas W. Lundy, MD, MBA, FAOA, spoke with Scott Porter, MD, FAOA, Orthopaedic Oncologist and Vice Chair of Operations in the Department of Orthopaedics at Prisma Health, Greenville, South Carolina, to discuss how changes in compensation will affect access to patient care in the future. Throughout the discussion, the concepts of rationing healthcare, bundling, and the future of compensation models are evaluated. Dr. Porter explains that compensation affects physician behavior which directly impacts access to patient care. The limitation or creation of access to patient care is created by the physician, while rationing healthcare is only due to overconsumption.Dr. Porter describes his ideal situation for future patient care, which involves a way to fund a healthcare account owned by the patient. This can be used as a means to pay for healthcare in the future, which can also be gifted and transferred to others. In conclusion, Dr. Porter states that it is not a matter of whether changes in compensation will affect access to patient care, but how it will influence access.

CardioNerds (Amit and Dan) join join Dr. Andrew Dicks (Vascular medicine physician at Prisma Health, former fellow at Mass General Vascular) and Dr. Prateek Sharma (Vascular interventional & medicine fellow at MGH) for an ice-cold drinks at the Esplanade in Boston, MA to discuss a case about a patient who developed a pulmonary embolism and masterfully discuss the diagnosis and management of of pulmonary emboli. Dr. Ido Weinberg (Director, Vascular Medicine Fellowship at MGH) provides the ECPR for this episode. Case Abstract: A 59-year-old Spanish-speaking man with no significant past medical history presents after falling 15-20 feet from a ladder and landing on his back. He was found to have an L1 fracture and left radial fracture and underwent T12-L2 fusion with neurosurgery on hospital day 1 and ORIF of left radial fracture with orthopedic surgery on hospital day 2. On hospital day 5, he develops acute onset tachycardia with HR in the 130s bpm with new O2 requirement associated with mild shortness of breath at rest without any chest discomfort. His labs were notable for an elevated troponin and proBNP. He underwent CTPA which demonstrated acute bilateral occlusive pulmonary emboli (PE) extending in the right and left main pulmonary arteries. TTE demonstrated right ventricle dilation. The patient was started on a heparin infusion and a PE response team (PERT) meeting was held to discuss treatment options. Given recent surgery, use of thrombolytic therapy was felt to be too risky and thus he was taken for percutaneous thrombectomy in the cath lab. PA pressure prior to intervention was 51/21 mmHg. The patient underwent suction thromboembelectomy with the Flow Triever device with extraction of thrombus and improvement in PA pressure to 19/11 mmHg. He was treated with anticoagulation thereafter and discharged home two days after the procedure.

Case Media Acute bilateral occlusive and nonocclusive pulmonary emboli extending from the right and left main pulmonary arteries to the lobar and segmental arteries of all the lobes.  Moderate right heart strain including the right atrium and the right ventricle. RV/LV ratio > 1.0. Right ventricular cavity is dilated (RV size at the base measures to 45mm). Right ventricular systolic function is moderately decreased. Right ventricular free wall is hypokinetic with sparing of the right ventricular apex consistent with acute right ventricular strain Pulmonary angiography demonstrated extensive proximal bilateral PEs Caption: Post-procedure TTE demonstrated resolution of RV strain with normalization of RV size and function. Episode Schematics & Teaching Pearls While there are markers to suggest PE, such as ECG findings or evidence of RV dilatation, a PE cannot be confirmed without imaging.Elevation of cardiac biomarkers and evidence of RV dysfunction are used to risk stratify PE, not the degree of thrombus burden or locale of thrombus.Enoxaparin is the preferred anticoagulant to initiate at time of PE diagnosis if comorbidities allow.Optimal treatment of intermediate risk PE remains uncertain as there is little data about long-term outcomes. Aggressive treatment should be used judiciously and chosen on a case-by-case basis.PE response teams (PERT) allow for multidisciplinary expert opinion in the face of scarce evidence to determine what is felt to be the best management strategy. Notes 1. What is a PERT team and why is it helpful? We have several tools and approaches for the management of PE. There are also many subspecialities involved in the care of patients with PE, including vascular medicine,
