Our politics shouldn't be any different.  In 2023, Healthcare For Action merged with Doctors In Politics, founded in 2020 by a group of physicians specializing in psychiatry, family medicine, OBGYN, and neurology. They were committed to patient-centered and equitable political change at all levels of government and grew to a membership of nearly 10,000. We believe fundamentally that all policy is health policy.  There are too many existential threats facing our democracy. From reversing climate change, preserving access to abortion, and curbing the epidemic of gun violence we must take action now and play the long game.

When and how are SSAs used?3. Which SSA should a patient be on? What is the difference? How do you decide?4. How do you know if a SSA will be helpful? Should ALL NET patients be on a SSA?5. What about patients whose tumors don't “light up” on a DOTATATE scan?6. How long can someone stay on a SSA?7. What side effects may patients experience from the shot? What can patients do to prevent or manage these symptoms? How might it affect one's day-to-day ability to work and function? Can I live a “normal life” while taking this medication? 8. If the tumor is growing does this mean the SSA did not work? Do you continue it when patients are treated with another treatment? When do you stop a SSA?9. What is the future of SSAs? I heard there is a pill that is available in a clinical trial. CaFor more information, visit LACNETS.org.

We Need More Illustrations of People of Color in Medical Textbooks— The lack of diversity perpetuates health inequality and stereotypes "The consequences of primarily depicting White, lighter skinned individuals with Eurocentric features in medical images supports the persuasive concept of White supremacy. It perpetuates the belief that the White male body is "the standard" to which all other bodies should be compared. It leads to inequality in medical education and further perpetuates harmful stereotypes of Black individuals. As a result, this issue plays a role in inappropriate diagnosis and health management of Black individuals. Furthermore, medical care becomes subjective, discriminatory, and filled with speculatory assumptions based on stereotypes." Jenna C. Lester is founder of the Skin of Color dermatology program at UCSF, which addresses the  persistent issues that arise from the exclusion and marginalization of non-white patients in medical  research and practice. She is combatting medical disparities due to racial inequality, working to fill education gaps in textbooks and curriculum about non-white skin and training a new generation of  doctors. A graduate of Harvard University and The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, she is an assistant professor of dermatology at UCSF where she practices and teaches general dermatology. Jenna's TedX Talk Susan Y. Chon, a 1991 Brown graduate with an independent concentration in children's literature, is a professor in the Department of Dermatology at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. Prior to joining the faculty, she earned her M.D. from Stanford University School of Medicine. She then completed her internship in internal medicine and her dermatology residency at Stanford University Hospital. Chon specializes in treating patients with skin cancers, melanomas and skin disorders from cancer treatments. She is a medical educator and an active mentor for medical students and dermatology residents. She is also director of the Skin Cancer Screening and Prevention Program and founded the volunteer physician program for the Brookwood Community, a residential and vocational program for adults with disabilities.

Kate Paye played for and now coaches side-by-side with one of the most legendary women's college basketball coaches in history, Tara VanDerveer. Kate walked-on at Stanford in 1992, after turning down several scholarship offers as well as several Ivy League Schools. And as a freshman, she was a part of the 1992 National Championship team. She has her law degree but opted to go into coaching instead, inspired by her big brother who coached her in high school. Together, they brought home three state championships before she went on to star for the Cardinal in Palo Alto. Her brother coincidentally was a three-sports star in high school himself (baseball, basketball, and football) and played both football and basketball at Stanford himself. Her other sister, mother and father also attended Stanford. Kate was born at Stanford University Hospital as was Kate's two kids. It was just meant to be. Will she be the next Stanford Coach? Time will tell. But for now, she's very happy continuing to learn and be a part of magic every day, working side-by-side to a legend. We delve into a number of topics from her upbringing to her time in the ABL and the WNBA to coaching. And you don't want to miss what her favorite cup of java is. It was truly an honor to have Kate on the show during our 50th Anniversary of Title IX Celebration Series. #betonwomen #StanfordUniversity #Stanford #WNBA #ABL #NCAA #NCAATournament #MarchMadness #leadership #equality #mentalhealth #coaching #sportspodcast #blm #TitleIX #Pac12 THE SPORTS DELI PODCAST www.thesportsdelipodcast.com (Now on) AUDIBLE: https://lnkd.in/gXAwci_9 Google: https://lnkd.in/gDN-XnKU iHeart: https://lnkd.in/e8SzqHz Apple: https://lnkd.in/gDdqxh8b Spotify: https://lnkd.in/gzR3peVj Check out the Video Podcast at: YOUTUBE: https://lnkd.in/gdUy4iH Instagram: @MikeHootner https://www.instagram.com/mikehootner/ Tik Tok: @MikeHootner https://lnkd.in/gc_dyuwX Twitter: @MikeHootner https://twitter.com/MikeHootner LinkedIn: https://lnkd.in/gnFZGVfH Snapchat: https://lnkd.in/eNdH-YN6 Thanks for the Support!

In today's episode, we chat with a gentleman who was diagnosed with a rare disease in mid-life!! Meet Dan Dry-Dock Shockley (Veteran) Retired Navy, Operation Desert Storm; Enduring and Iraqi Freedom veteran and 10-year rare disease virtual international live-case presentation. Diagnosed w/hereditary colon cancer syndrome, attenuated FAP, in 2012. As a result of hereditary colon cancer syndrome diagnosis and colon removal surgery, I have an ostomy. An ostomy is a type of surgery that creates an opening in the abdomen that causes a change in the way stool exits the body. So I wear a prosthetic pouching system. You would never know it if I didn't tell you. It's important to note that attenuated FAP is an autosomal dominant germline mutation. Dr. Henry T. Lynch, the founding father of hereditary cancer research, is credited with discovering AFAP. It's estimated that less than .03 percent of the global population are impacted by AFAP. I undergo routine endoscopic surveillance to monitor its progress. Last year I underwent successful pancreas-sparing duodenectomy resection surgery @ Stanford University Hospital. This surgery is directly related to AFAP. I've embraced this diagnosis from the onset and created an acronym for ADAPT: Attitude Determines the Ability for a Positive Transformation. Early detection is vital. I'm living proof. My purpose is to educate the world about AFAP as a virtual international live-case presentation for AFAP, continuing the legacy of Dr. Henry T. Lynch, on the importance of early detection in hopes of saving lives. Here are some groups that Dan collaborates with pertaining to attenuated FAP: http://fapgene.com/ https://coloncancerpreventionproject.org/ You can follow him on social media: Twitter: @dryshockley LinkedIn: Dan Dry Dock Shockley

Join Andrew and sleep specialist Nevin Arora, MD for a thorough look at the critical importance of sleep – and how to get it. The jury is in: the shorter you sleep, the shorter you live. You don't snooze, you lose. Dr. Arora shares a host of tips from his clinical practice, including gems about optimal sleep hygiene, how to work with insomnia, as well as the importance of daylight and the damaging effects of artificial light. Falling asleep requires becoming “undone,” and as “human doings” (versus human beings) in these busy times, most of us are never done – and so we struggle with sleep. Sleep is so simple it's ironically difficult: you only have to do nothing, but you have to do it well. Which is precisely where meditation fits in, because “doing nothing well” defines meditation. The discussion turns to the neural correlates of the dreaming brain, and the future of non-pharmacological aids that entrain sleep states. Nevin offers an honest assessment of the role of sleep aids, including the place of melatonin and prescription drugs, saying that, “Band-aids only cover the problem, and hurt to rip off.” The narrative of “reversing the problem by reversing the relationship to the problem” runs throughout this discussion, and therefore empowers individuals to take control by nurturing an appropriate relationship to sleep problems. This is an informative conversation with a sleep doctor very familiar with lucid dreaming, and offers solid advice on how to get the good sleep that supports it. -- Nevin Arora MD is a board-certified sleep medicine specialist and co-founder of Lucidity Sleep and Psychiatry. He received his medical degree from the University of Missouri-Kansas City, and completed his residency training in psychiatry at Georgetown University Hospital. His fellowship training in sleep medicine was completed at Stanford University Hospital. Dr. Arora's background in mental health offers a unique perspective on sleep and the treatment of sleep disorders. In addition to his work at Lucidity Sleep & Psychiatry, he works closely with the Dream in Del Mar sleep laboratory, and frequently travels to Stockton, CA to treat patients at Pacific Sleep Disorders Center.

“The Pandemic and Democracy” Produced at KSQD 90.7FM Democracy is being challenged by a pandemic. The Covid-19 pandemic challenges not only physicians, public health agencies, scientists and ordinary people, but also democracy. Never before has the US had to confront a virus that generated government behavioral edicts and required elected officials to have to interpret the unknown behavior of a disease-causing pathogen, the Corona Virus -19. News, information and recommendations now become known quickly with social media reaching the entire country overnight. In past epidemics, the behavior of the causative agent or pathogen was known sufficiently for physicians to give generally agreed upon advice, even though often that advice was incorrect or had little or no effect on the disease. This time, with nothing known about this new virus, a quarantine was imposed by state governors and these decisions had an enormous impact on peoples' daily lives. The public was asked or required to stay home and not go to school or work. The impact was quickly enormous economically hastening the stock market to crash and 20-million people were out of work. Public animosity towards the quarantine decisions and the shutdown of peoples' lives has grown and became a political issue. With scientists looking for a successful treatment or drug and with pharmaceutical companies all over the world searching for a vaccine to prevent the disease, there is now international involvement. Policy issues arose in this country and across the world. In the US there is a generally recognized divide between political parties that, until well into the pandemic, paralyzed the legislative process and provoked great confusion regarding what was the scientific basis used to implement or not implement the best scientific and medical advice. This political divide undermined public confidence in their elected leaders and made them suspicious of all medical and leadership directives or did it?

Good sleep is vital for Lucid Dreaming. Join Andrew and sleep specialist Nevin Arora, MD for a thorough look at the critical importance of sleep – and how to get it.The jury is in: the shorter you sleep, the shorter you live. You don't snooze, you lose. Dr. Arora shares a host of tips from his clinical practice, including gems about optimal sleep hygiene, how to work with insomnia, as well as the importance of daylight and the damaging effects of artificial light.Falling asleep requires becoming “undone,” and as “human doings” (versus human beings) in these busy times, most of us are never done – and so we struggle with sleep. Sleep is so simple it's ironically difficult: you only have to do nothing, but you have to do it well. Which is precisely where meditation fits in, because “doing nothing well” defines meditation.The discussion turns to the neural correlates of the dreaming brain, and the future of non-pharmacological aids that entrain sleep states. Nevin offers an honest assessment of the role of sleep aids, including the place of melatonin and prescription drugs, saying that, “Band-aids only cover the problem, and hurt to rip off.”The narrative of “reversing the problem by reversing the relationship to the problem” runs throughout this discussion, and therefore empowers individuals to take control by nurturing an appropriate relationship to sleep problems.This is an informative conversation with a sleep doctor very familiar with lucid dreaming, and offers solid advice on how to get the good sleep that supports it.--Nevin Arora MD is a board-certified sleep medicine specialist and co-founder of Lucidity Sleep and Psychiatry.He received his medical degree from the University of Missouri-Kansas City, and completed his residency training in psychiatry at Georgetown University Hospital. His fellowship training in sleep medicine was completed at Stanford University Hospital.Dr. Arora's background in mental health offers a unique perspective on sleep and the treatment of sleep disorders. In addition to his work at Lucidity Sleep & Psychiatry, he works closely with the Dream in Del Mar sleep laboratory, and frequently travels to Stockton, CA to treat patients at Pacific Sleep Disorders Center.

In 2011 a California grocer named Dave Schaub drove his Brizio-built Custom ’32 Ford roadster through all 49 continental United States in an amazing 7 days, 14 hours and 21 minutes. We featured a picture of Dave at the finish line in Alaska in one of our recent Friends in the Fast lane Column. In part two of our interview Dave describes how he made the incredible journey on 5 hours of sleep a day without being accompanied by a chase crew. It was literally man and machine against the clock for nearly 9,000-miles to raise money for the Ronald McDonald House at Stanford University Hospital. But the most challenging part of the race against the clock and the most inspiring part came as Dave entered Canada on his way to the finish line in Alaska.
