The Operation of the Century - Why Total Hip Replacement Keeps Getting Better Interview with Adolph V. Lombardi, Jr., MD, FACS who has performed 38,000+ joint replacements. Topics discussed: Why total hip replacement is considered the “operation of the century” (as described in The Lancet); Modern hips use cementless fixation, advanced ceramics, and highly cross-linked polyethylene, dramatically improving durability to 25–30+ years (or more); Complications like infection, fracture, and dislocation are rare (~1%) and aggressively addressed through patient optimization and surgical advances. Timing now depends on symptoms and quality of life, not just X-rays or age. Emerging innovations, including AI-guided robotics and a promising “reverse hip” design, aim to further improve stability and outcomes.

On this special “Making America Healthy Again” edition of PopHealth Week, Fred and Gregg take on a volatile question: what happens when a legitimate prevention agenda collides with abrupt, top-down decisions across the public health infrastructure? Anchored in recent federal changes to childhood vaccine recommendations and upheaval in advisory processes, the conversation traces how trust is built - or broken - through transparency, data visibility, and scientific governance. They explore the implications of reduced routine vaccine guidance, the removal and replacement of expert advisory committee members, and the risks of “flying blind” when surveillance systems pause or disappear. With measles resurgence as a real-time stress test, Gregg and Fred challenge the false binary of “medical freedom vs. public health,” and close with practical guidance: partner with trusted clinicians and evidence-based medical society recommendations while the policy environment remains unsettled.

January News You Can Use The AI Will See You Now (Please Double-Check Its Work) AI medical tools like Open Evidence are valuable but must be used critically; Trust nothing and verify all outputs, as they require expert supervision. New AI healthcare entrants, such as those from Amazon and OpenAI, bring potential but also risks of outdated or inaccurate guidance; Wearable health devices (e.g., Apple Watch) risk overwhelming clinics with false positives, especially among the "worried well." Health risk calculators and AI should supplement, not replace, individualized care guided by a physician's expertise. The healthcare system faces deep issues, from EMR/data abuse lawsuits to unsustainable insurance that offers poor coverage and strains emergency care.

On this episode Fred welcomes Nick van Terheyden, MD, ACPA-C (Dr. Nick) a digital health leader and CEO of Med Claims Compliance for a wide-ranging conversation on what it will take to turn today's AI hype into measurable healthcare value. Dr. Nick shares a pragmatic lens: start with the problem, map the workflow, then decide whether AI belongs in the solution and if so, what guardrails are non-negotiable. The discussion explores the real risks of generative AI (including confident “hallucinations”), the importance of transparency and accountability, and why “bolt-on” AI tools often fail when they ignore clinical realities. They also pivot to a vivid example of system strain: prescription access and cost—where refills can become “friction by design,” and where programs like Utah's PEHP “pharmacy tourism” reveal how extreme U.S. drug pricing has become. Finally, they unpack what GLP-1 weight-loss medications are teaching us about chronic-care economics and the predictable rebound after discontinuation."
