DML sits down with Dr. Joseph Ladapo, Florida's Surgeon General, Harvard-trained physician, and author of Transcend Fear: A Blueprint for Mindful Leadership in Public Health. In this focused and eye-opening interview, Dr. Ladapo breaks down the failures of fear-based public health, why lockdowns and mandates caused more harm than good, and how leaders lost their way during COVID-19. He explains why freedom, transparency, and clear thinking—not political pressure—must guide American health policy going forward. The discussion also covers his latest statement on the MAHA era under Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the need for personal responsibility, and how removing fear and stress empowers people to reclaim their health and their freedom. BOOK: Transcend FearX Account: @FLSurgeonGen

In this episode of The Spine Pod, hosts Courtney Schutze and Brady Riesgraf sit down with Dr. Kamal Woods, a double fellowship-trained surgeon in both orthopedics and neurosurgery, and founder of Vertrae® in Miamisburg, Ohio.   Dr. Woods received his medical degree from Loma Linda University School of Medicine and completed a fellowship in minimally invasive and complex spine surgery from Cedars‑Sinai Medical Center. He later earned his MBA from Johns Hopkins Carey Business School, further deepening his understanding of the complex healthcare ecosystem and how to improve it. Since then, he has gone on to build a patient-centered practice rooted in the belief that one size does not fit all when it comes to spine care. Whether a patient needs a non‑surgical treatment, minimally invasive surgery, or motion‑preserving option, the goal remains the same: restore mobility, alleviate pain, and help patients return to what they love most.   Throughout the episode, Dr. Woods shares his philosophy of combining surgical precision with compassionate, personalized care. He also discusses the importance of having a full “toolbox” of treatments, from conservative care and robotic‑assisted techniques to artificial disc replacement, and why patient education and shared decision‑making are essential. He goes on to share how his background, far from conventional, has shaped his patient‑first mindset and his vision for modern spine care.   In this episode, you'll learn: Why motion preservation is more than a trend, it's about protecting function and long-term quality of life. How insurance and reimbursement barriers can impact patient care, and the changes needed to move the field forward. Why outpatient, motion-preserving spine care is gaining momentum and what it takes to build a successful model. How Dr. Woods prioritizes patients through individualized treatment plans for those dealing with chronic leg and back pain. Why enabling technologies such as navigation and robotics are expanding into more surgical facilities. How Vertrae® is driving local innovation through education, community events, and an empowering patient-centered care model.   Drawing on his childhood roots in Saint Vincent, his surgical training in California, and the practice he's built in Ohio, Dr. Woods is shaping an innovative spine care model centered on motion preservation—designed to help patients return to the activities they love, all in one integrated setting. Whether you're a surgeon focused on emerging technologies, an industry professional tracking care trends, or a patient seeking clarity in a crowded spine landscape, this episode delivers compelling insights on how treatment pathways are shifting and how modern practice models are evolving.   Learn more about Dr. Woods: Vertrae: https://vertrae.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kamal-woods-md-mba-89172682/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vertrae.inc/?hl=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KamalWoodsMD YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/ ⁨@vertrae360⁩   You can find The Spine Pod on all Podcast Streaming Platforms, including: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheSpinePod Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0DBzWfVt1ExQE0qTjhOERa?si=EEBPwQgRQSujyZsaXnJagA Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-spine-pod/id1745442311 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/98fd41ad-75ee-4371-bb70-c5b274324a47/the-spine-pod?ref=dm_sh_kmfvSHB5iY109GDslhiJul22E iHeart Radio: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-the-spine-pod-174320414?cmp=ios_share&sc=ios_social_share&pr=false&autoplay=true Follow The Spine Pod to learn more about the latest episodes and happenings in the world of motion preservation: ⁠ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?...

The occupation we have chosen is the most fulfilling job in the world. Cardiothoracic surgery has been the only career I have pursued as an adult, but I know that even without a meaningful comparison, my bold claim is correct. We have studied and practiced for years to acquire skills so that we can help to cure our patients or at least minimize their suffering. Yet, throughout all of our careers, having a patient succumb to their disease, or our attempt at treating their disease, is as much of a certainty as our own eventual mortality. Read this blog by Dr. Derek Serna-Gallegos on how to face your first patient death as a cardiothoracic surgeon.

If you get a distribution from your 457, it may feel like income that you can do whatever with. This time of year, it may be tempting to spend it on a Christmas retreat or a New Year's reset, but is that going to steal your retirement nest egg? Nate Reineke and Chelsea Jones break down how that distribution can be used to bolster your retirement plans and how for Physician Family clients, it is already factored into their plan. We also answer your colleagues' questions. A Surgeon in New York says, “We are a little bit ahead on college savings for our 7 and 9 year old children, should we slow down?” Retired Family Medicine Doc in Oregon wants to know if they should do QCDs next year? A Psychiatrist in Chicago asks, “We want to move to a better neighborhood and buy a house that is twice as expensive as our current home. If we can afford the monthly mortgage, why not do it?” A Retired Urologist in Oregon is wondering, “Should we consider taking more than just the RMD in our inherited IRA in order to reduce ballooning during the end of the 10-year period, causing our taxable income to spike?” Are you ready to turn worries about taxes and investing into all the money you need for college and retirement? It's time to make a plan and get on track. To find out if we're a match visit physicianfamily.com and click get started or, you can ask a question of your own by emailing podcast@physicianfamily.com.

Food isn't just fuel and obesity isn't just willpower. We sat down with bariatric surgeon Dr. Mark Vierra to unpack what weight-loss surgery really changes, why genetics and hormones can overpower the best intentions, and how a careful program decides who needs a scalpel and who needs a different plan. From GLP‑1 surges and ghrelin drops to PYY's “brake,” we walk through how surgery reshapes appetite signals and why even modest weight loss can dramatically improve diabetes and cardiovascular risk.The conversation goes beyond the operating room. Dr. Vierra explains why five of six referrals don't get surgery, how he and his partner analyze food diaries, depression, and daily constraints, and when medications like bupropion or GLP‑1s make more sense. We explore binge patterns, the messy reality of predicting who will do well after weight loss surgery, and the tough calls around patients who've been told their BMI is destiny when their labs and function say otherwise. The story shifts sharply when we talk alcohol: after gastric bypass, blood alcohol rises faster and stays higher, which raises the risk of alcohol use disorder over time. We share practical ways to screen motives for drinking, plan safeguards with families, and use craving meds thoughtfully.What ties it all together is respect for biology and the person in front of us. Genetics like MC4R variants and syndromes such as Prader–Willi can drive lifelong hyperphagia; ultra‑processed foods and liquid calories amplify the problem; stigma keeps people from care. We push for a different bias—against soda and engineered foods, not against people—and for care that follows patients long after the incisions heal. If you want a grounded, humane guide to obesity treatment, this conversation delivers clarity without blame.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review so others can find it. Your support helps us keep building informed, stigma‑free conversations about health.To contact Dr. Grover: ammadeeasy@fastmail.com

What does it mean to truly heal after breast cancer? In this episode of the DiepCJourney® podcast, we sit down with Dr. Silvia Kurtovic of Tucson Plastic Surgery to explore a holistic approach to breast reconstruction—one that goes beyond surgical technique to embrace emotional well-being, shared decision-making, and compassionate care. From honoring each patient's story to integrating wellness into recovery, Dr. Kurtovic offers insights that empower survivors to reclaim their bodies and their confidence with grace.  Dr. Silvia Kurtovic is part of the team of surgeons at Tucson Plastic Surgery. She works with Dr. Raman Mahabir performing a number of reconstructive procedures in Arizona. They practice the co-surgeon model in DIEP flap breast reconstruction. Dr. Silvia Kurtovic is a board-certified plastic surgeon and one of the few female surgeons in Arizona who is both a diplomate of the American Board of Plastic Surgery and a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. Dr. Kurtovic did her plastic & reconstructive surgery residence training at Duke University Medical Center. She received her fellowship  training in aesthetic and microsurgery specializing in DIEP flap surgery in Canada. Her personal experience with breast cancer and watching her mother go through it when Dr. Kurtovic was a young woman inspired her to specialize in the care and recovery of those affected by breast cancer and having reconstruction. She shares an intimate look into the retreat she held in Tucson for her patients. You won't want to miss this touching account of Dr. Kurtovic's own journey as a caregiver and how she translates that into her work today with her patients.

Tyler shot KirkNo get away planeNo body armorNo exploding micNo rear entry woundNo tactical gear guy No disassembling the gunNo Google Trends, that's verifiable No surgeon said anything to Andrew Kolvet about super bones. Surgeons don't even do autopsies the pathologist does. That holy roller tried to make up a miracle. He made up a lie. Miracles are not real. No 150 million from Netanyahu (Although he can drown in pig s**t.)No tunnels or trap doors Candace is the perfect example of how Noise is worshiped by the herd.They are so used to being lied to by the state that anyone with a big voice can say the most absurd alternative and they will be believed.Autopsy will be in the trial and they will say what type of bullet it was. Even a .30_06 going length wise isn't going to enter the neck and pop out his butthole. That bullet is in his torso. He was hit from above. We know because there is no exit wound. His chest also temporarily inflated the way animals do with a bullet pushed through liquid. But idiots will always find those to echo back their own stupidity. If you think any bullet hit his neck at a perpendicular angle and stopped your high. But kooks don't admit it went down the body lengthwise because then it's no longer a mystery or impossible and doesn't match the theory they were spoon fed by charlatans. The surest sign of a moron is the inability to admit being wrong.Candace has dishonest clout chasers whispering poison in her ears. She lacks the capacity to discern what is true and what is crap. Charlatans cannot exist without fools. Many influencers can only be as good as their handler. But this is exactly what the public wants. Twists and turns without evidence because its entertaining. It is how an idiot can pretend to know something. To the fool where arrogance and ignorance are a cross road, an eye roll is considered an argument. The justification for rejecting what makes sense boils down to saying “oh come on” code for spotting a group think deviation.Brigitte Macron is female (she had children)Tyler shot KirkEarth is round.

Going out in public became dreadfully uncomfortable for 75-year-old Dave Richards after an accident with a drunk driver four years ago in Devon, England. His bike got caught under the car, dragging him on the asphalt, tearing away much of his face, nose and neck. Surgeons had to remove his eye and cover the damaged area with a skin graft. The accident that nearly took his life, took his confidence until a team of experts at the Bristol 3D Medical Centre stepped in. Using advanced 3D scanning, design, and printing, they are rebuilding Dave Richards' face. Misha Newnham is one of the reconstructive scientists at the first of its kind centre in the UK. She explains this remarkable new technology and how it's pushing the boundaries of reconstructive medicine.

In 2023, 82% of nurses had experienced at least one workplace violence incident, and nearly half were experiencing even more violence. And it's not just nurses. Surgeons, ER docs, primary care physicians and others know violence in healthcare is on the rise. Erin Pastore and Marie Lopresti, two ED nurses in Philadelphia, share their personal experiences with violence in their workplace, and how to restore the balance we all - patients and practitioners, alike - need. Listener discretion advised.

Lacey Marie spent years fighting for her life against breast implant illness, bouncing between specialists who removed everything except the one thing she knew was making her sick, her implants. When genetic testing revealed she carried markers for breast cancer, an oncologist told her she was "lucky" because they could just remove her breast tissue and keep her implants. That's when she started pushing back. In this raw conversation, Lacey reveals why aesthetic flat closure remains a hidden option for most women, how geographic location dictates your surgical choices, and what happened when she finally got surgeons to listen. This isn't just about choosing not to reconstruct, it's about fighting for the right to make that choice in the first place. IN THIS EPISODE WE'LL: * Discover why aesthetic flat closure is rarely presented as an option and what that reveals about medical bias in women's health * Understand how dense breast tissue, implants, and genetic markers create a perfect storm for surveillance challenges * Learn what "botched" flat closure really means and why surgeons leave excess tissue "just in case you change your mind" * Explore the mental health journey of reclaiming femininity and sexuality without breasts * Break through the access barriers that determine which reconstruction options you'll even hear about based on where you live CHECK OUT THESE EPISODES: Dr. Pompa on Still Feeling Sick After Explant: Breast Implants & Detox Lies: https://youtu.be/UVm7NWvp88k Natalie Jill's Explant Story: Informed Midlife Choices: https://youtu.be/hjvZQ58ySK0 Links and Resources boobless.life website: https://boobless.life/ Lacey's TED Talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_APuiU03k8 Let's Connect Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/breast-implant-illness/id1678143554 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1SPDripbluZKYsC0rwrBdb?si=23ea2cd9f6734667 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drrobertwhitfield?_t=8oQyjO25X5i&_r=1 IG: https://www.instagram.com/breastimplantillnessexpert/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/DrRobertWhitfield Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-robert-whitfield-md-50775b10/ X: https://x.com/rob_whitfieldmd Read this article - https://www.breastcancer.org/treatment/surgery/breast-reconstruction/types/implant-reconstruction/illness/breast-implant-illness Shop: https://drrobssolutions.com SHARP: https://www.harp.health NVISN Labs - https://nvisnlabs.com/ Get access to Dr. Rob's Favorite Products below: Danger Coffee - Use our link for mold free coffee - https://dangercoffee.com/pages/mold-free-coffee?ref=ztvhyjg JASPR Air Purifier - Use code DRROB for the Jaspr Air Purifier - https://jaspr.co/ Echo Water - Get high quality water with our code DRROB10 - https://echowater.com/ BallancerPro - Use code DRROBVIP for the world's leader in lymphatic drainage technology - https://ballancerpro.com Ultrahuman - Use code WHITFIELD10 for the most accurate wearable - https://www.ultrahuman.com/ring/buy/us/?affiliateCode=drwhitfield

Send us a textWhat if the worst day of your life was not a spiritual ambush but a sovereign appointment? We open the book of Job and trace a hard but hopeful line: God permits and sets the limits, Satan merely acts as the instrument, and the purpose is your refinement, not your ruin. That single shift—seeing the Surgeon instead of staring at the scalpel—changes how we pray, endure, and worship when the ground gives way.We walk through Job's opening scene where God commends His servant and grants permission with boundaries, revealing a world ruled by wisdom, not chaos. From there, we tackle a common mistake: attributing to the enemy what God authors for our good. That confusion not only robs us of comfort; it quietly dishonors the Lord. We explore how Proverbs reframes correction as love, why rejoicing in trials is a learned reflex, and how endurance grows when Scripture retrains our instincts. Along the way, we confront performative Christianity—public display without private integrity—and ask whether our devotion holds when applause fades and losses mount.This conversation also zooms out to the state of the modern church. Distractions multiply, easy-believism spreads, and fear-of-the-enemy theology steals attention from the One who actually holds power. Yet hope remains: Christ keeps a people who love the Word, embrace discipline, and refuse to bow to comfort. Real ministry looks like real-time care, honest questions, and a shared commitment to suffer well under God's hand. If your faith has been shaken by hardship, consider this a steadying invitation to trust the God who wounds to heal, tests to prove, and prunes to make you fruitful.If this reframed your view of suffering, share the episode, leave a review, and subscribe so you won't miss what's next. Your story could help someone else find courage when the knife feels closest.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

Behind every product on the OR shelf is a story of collaboration, evaluation, and evidence-based decision-making, not just a surgeon's request. This week we sit down with Joe Chua, OR Nurse and Value Analysis Professional from Dallas, Texas, to unpack the complex process of how surgical products make it from idea to implementation. Together, we'll explore the intersection of clinical practice and supply chain strategy, the importance of communication between teams, and the critical role of value analysis in supporting patient safety and financial stewardship. If you've ever wondered how product decisions are really made in healthcare, you won't want to miss this conversation. #operatingroom #supplychain #ornurse #scrubtech #podcast

I grew up with a very different perspective on personal finance and investing than most. My parents were immigrants, and when they arrived in this country, they didn't come with any preconceived notions of conventional financial wisdom. My father grew up dirt poor in India—that's really poor and he had never even heard of investing as a kid. But he was blessed with a tremendous intellect and used it to rise from nothing to truly live the American dream. He came to the U.S. in the 1960s on an engineering scholarship and started working as a bridge engineer in Minnesota. When he finally began making a little money, he was confronted with the idea of investing for the first time.  Until then, life had always been hand-to-mouth. So he was approaching investing like an alien coming to this planet for the first time with an unbiased view on anything financial. With that perspective, the stock market didn't make sense to him. He wanted cash flow that would immediately improve his quality of life. Intuitively, it felt smarter to buy “streams of cash” than to “gamble” on stocks. So with whatever money he could scrape together, he bought small rental properties. Nothing glamorous—mostly low-income houses and duplexes in Minneapolis. But guess what? It worked. Before long, he started making real money and quit engineering altogether. The apple didn't fall far from the tree, I guess. Years later, I would also walk away from my career as a doctor to become a full-time investor. My father did really well. By the 1980s, he was having million-dollar years—that's a lot now, but back then it was a lot more! But then came the '90s. Like many others in the dot-com era, he got in over his skis. It seemed like everyone was making easy money in the stock market, and he got greedy.  Unfortunately, he sold a large chunk of his real estate portfolio and went all in on tech. And of course, we all know how that story ended—the bubble burst and so did his brokerage account. So there he was, in his 50s, starting over again after being obliterated by the dotcom bubble. He was terrified. But he knew what he had to do. He had to rebuild the same way he had built wealth the first time: cash-flowing real estate. Today, in his 80s, he's still at it. To be clear, his real estate career wasn't all smooth sailing either. This isn't a fairy tale. It's real life. For example, in the late '90s, Alan Greenspan suddenly cranked up interest rates, creating a situation not unlike what investors faced post-COVID when the Fed raised rates at record speed.  That hurt him, but each setback brought lessons, and he kept moving forward with an asset class that he trusted. Eventually, he recovered. We were always comfortable, and my dad made enough to pay for 3 kids' college tuition and medical school for me while still living comfortably, traveling, and enjoying his life. He'll be the first one to tell you that he only ever made money in real estate and that's what he believes in. Now, why am I telling you all this? I'm telling you this story because it shaped the way I see investing. Unlike most, I grew up hearing that the stock market was risky and that real estate was the safer, smarter path—pretty much the opposite of what everyone around me grew up with. And despite my own challenges from the post-COVID rate hikes, I can still say without hesitation that focusing on real estate has served me better than following the traditional investing playbook. Still, no one wins all the time. Every investor loses money sometimes. Surgeons have a saying: “If you haven't had a complication, you haven't done enough surgery.” That's as true for the best surgeons in the world as it is for the best investors. So what do you do? Sitting on cash guarantees you'll lose purchasing power to inflation. Money markets barely keep up. For me, the answer is to keep investing with discipline. Real estate is my medium, and like my father,

Casey Means faces lawmakers on Thursday, as they vet her nomination for the nation's top medical post: the U.S. surgeon general. Means has been a prominent critic of the medical establishment. She could soon be put in a position to change it.Means, 38, resigned from her final year of medical residency to become a health products entrepreneur, a popular online personality with a best-selling book about “Good Energy,” and a leading figure in the “Make America Healthy Again” movement. Critics say she has a history of saying things in potentially misleading and scientifically inaccurate ways. In a statement, the Department of Health and Human Services called Means a “world-class physician and scientist whose nomination as Surgeon General reflects her deep understanding of modern metabolic health and her fierce commitment to evidence-based care.” Today, host Elahe Izadi speaks with Lauren Weber, The Post's health and science accountability reporter, about her and her colleague Rachel Roubein's exclusive reporting on the rise of Casey Means, her financial interests, and how her collision course with the medical establishment could shake up American medicine. Today's show was produced by Elana Gordon. It was edited by Reena Flores and mixed by Sam Bair.

Near-Death experiences, demon-possessed cars, miraculous lottery wins, and miracles that seem absolutely unbelievable – this week on the show I'm by Dr. John Sottosanti, an atheist surgeon, to tell his outrageous conversion to Catholicism and a deeper faith in Christ. Raised nominally Catholic, John drifted away from the faith an into a successful dental practice but was hounded – haunted, even – by the Catholicism of his childhood. Confronted, again and again, by the most incredible miracles this is the story of the "Hound of Heaven," and His pursuit of even the one lost sheep – until he came back into the fold. This is such an amazing story.

Amanda reflects on how self-advocacy led her to her own breast cancer diagnosis—and we hear from the pod squad about how Amanda's transparency helped save their lives. Then, we're joined by Amanda's renowned doctor, Dr. Lucy M. De La Cruz, who reminds us that every patient has agency—and shares how to choose the treatment path that's right for you. And special shout out and thanks to Pod Squader Lori Mihalich-Levin (@mindfulreturn) for being such a special part of this story! If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with breast cancer, please save this episode or send it to the people you love. We love you.  For more on Amanda's Breast Cancer journey:  - Amanda's Diagnosis and What's Next (Part 1) - Amanda's Diagnosis and What's Next (Part 2) - Amanda Returns Post Surgery: Here's What She Wants You to Know  - What Amanda's Learned About Life, Love & Community (Post Surgery Pt 2)  - Early Detection, Mammograms & Breast Cancer Care with Dr. Rachel Brem  - Expert Advice on Genetic Testing, Cancer Prevention & Care Disparities with Dr. Rachel Brem  About Dr. De La Cruz:  Dr. Lucy M.

Quacks, wise women, barber surgeons and private madhouses - just some of the options available if you were to find yourself in ill health in the 16th and 17th centuries. Dan is joined by historian Dr Alanna Skuse to look at healthcare in Renaissance England, from healing the humours and blood letting to cross animal blood transfusions, skin grafts that involved attaching the face to the upper arm and the notorious treatments of patients at Bedlam, Britain's most famous psychiatric hospital. But not all treatments were bizarre or gruesome; in fact, early practitioners had some pretty progressive ideas around holistic health, the benefits of nature, sleep and friendship.Alanna shares astonishing stories of treatments, patients and practitioners from her new book 'The Surgeon, the Midwife and the Quack: How to Stay Alive in Renaissance England'Produced by Mariana Des Forges and edited by Dougal PatmoreWe'd love to hear your feedback - you can take part in our podcast survey here: https://insights.historyhit.com/history-hit-podcast-always-on.You can also email the podcast directly at ds.hh@historyhit.com.
