"As a practicing surgeon for 30 years in the super-specialized field of otology, neurotology and skull base surgery, I have been privy to some of the most disturbing realities of surgical care. Often, these realities are bleaker than most people expect. One thing physicians, and the general population, need to be more aware of is the very real racial disparity in surgical care. Are the outcomes for Black and Hispanic patients truly different than white patients when it comes to surgery? The answer is an astounding yes. Are the differences related to other factors such as socioeconomic class, insurance status, gender, income, extent of disease at presentation or other comorbidities? Even when controlling for many of these factors, racial disparities in the delivery of surgical care persist." Sanjay Prasad is a surgeon and founder, SurgiQuality. He shares his story and discusses his KevinMD article, "The bleak reality of racial disparity in surgical care."

Benji Hall- Veteran Fox News War Correspondent Injured in Ukraine and enters the US Military Medical System for Surgical Care and Rehabilitation In this episode, we interview veteran war correspondent Benji Hall, a British journalist who has worked with Fox News since 2013 and was promoted to State Department correspondent in 2021. He outlines ways in which media teams attempt to capture the truth in the chaos of war and how they prepare and enter war zones. Benji discusses his movement forward to the front lines of the Russian invasion of Ukraine along the outskirts of Kyiv. After investigating a story in front of the front lines, his vehicle was struck by multiple explosives on his return to the Ukrainian secured areas. He extricated himself from the vehicle and crawled to safety, where he was treated by Ukrainian forces and evacuated to a local hospital. Hear about his amazing evacuation story from Ukraine, his entry into the US military medical system, and his rehabilitation at Brooke Army Medical Center and the Center for the Intrepid. His optimism and passion are contagious, and you will surely hear about this unique experience of a civilian combat-injured reporter treated in the military medical system.

On this episode of the Friends in Beauty podcast I welcome Crystal Wilson to the Friends in Beauty guest chair. Crystal Wilson became a certified esthetician and massage therapist after fighting depression while working in corporate America. She later grew a passion for beauty entrepreneurship, creating her own business, the Luxe Beauty and Body Studio and Training Academy. Providing over 1,000 certifications to beauty industry entrepreneurs. She has also worked with clients of Mia Esthetics and Goals plastic surgery, some of the prominent facilities in Miami and Atlanta. With her experience working and creating an honorable reputation in the surgical community, Crystal has made it a goal to be transparent and authentic with her services, revealing the truth about post-operative surgical care. With the glorification of plastic surgery, most people aren't aware of the toll it can take on their bodies until after surgery. The pre-and postoperative period is a critical time for patients to be prepared. As Crystal points out, “post-operative surgical care is more important than the actual surgery because if you don't take care of your body after surgery, you will get infections.” Being properly informed and guided can help reduce the risk of complications and support the surgical recovery process. I had such a fun time chatting with Crystal. I'm so intrigued by the world of plastic surgery so I had tons of questions to ask her. In this interview Crystal shares: -How she transitioned from a career in finance to the beauty industry -The different pre-op and post op services that she provides -How to mentally prepare yourself for surgery -The importance of post-operative surgical care -What you should look for in post-op care -How she's educating other practitioners + providing them with valuable resources with her Columbia trips -And so much more I learned so much during this interview. If you or someone that you know are considering plastic surgery then definitely send them this chat to listen to. Let's go ahead and jump into this conversation with Crystal and if you prefer to watch our beautiful faces then tune in on YouTube. Enjoy this episode!

This week's episode of Funding & Disrupting presented by Oura Collective welcomes Sanjay Prasad. He is a brilliant surgeon with over 30 years of experience and the Founder & CEO of SurgiQuality. Sanjay is also an Assistant Professor at George Washington University and an Author. With so much experience and expertise, Sanjay always looks for ways to achieve more than himself. Keith interviews Sanjay to know more about his unique healthcare platform named SurgiQuality. What led to the idea of SurgiQuality?In the interview, Keith asks Sanjay about his observations in regards to surgeries these days. Sanjay candidly shares how most people are not much aware of the right surgeries. He talks about how people undergo some surgeries that they never needed. Also, some people connect to surgeons who rarely offer the best outcomes. All such problems of patients develop complications, and they may need even more surgeries. Sanjay feels that the healthcare sector needs more accountability today. Did you know 15-25% of surgical procedures performed today are unnecessary?Sanjay felt the quality of work was missing. He thought, “How do patients get to the right surgeon who has the best outcomes?” and it is where the idea of SurgiQuality came.How SurgiQuality works?To get a deeper insight into the platform, Keith asks Sanjay about the primary problems that SurgiQuality solves. Sanjay shares that the prime problem SurgiQuality disrupts and improves drastically is getting referrals from primary-care physicians to surgeons. Most of the time, primary doctors do not have the best information about the surgeons. It is where SurgiQuality helps primary doctors with referrals.Sanjay elaborates how SurgiQuality works. And according to Sanjay, everyone wins with the use of SurgiQuality. Patients get the best surgeons, and the quality of surgery improves. The surgeons get the patients in their area of interest and expertise. Moreover, primary doctors can give better referrals. So, it is a win-win for all.How did the funding process go?In the next segment, Keith asks Sanjay about the partnerships and the funding method followed by SurgiQuality. Sanjay shares that SurgiQuality has partnered with over 30,000 surgeons in 50 states. They have contacts with 300 surgery centers and hospitals.

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a condition that occurs when the median nerve is compressed as it passes through the wrist. One treatment option available to patients is carpal tunnel release surgery, which severs the carpal tunnel ligament to reduce pressure on the affected nerve to resolve the numbness, pain, tingling, and weakness symptoms associated with CTS. When is surgical treatment for CTS necessary and when should a non-surgical option be pursued? The short answer is that surgery should only be considered as a first option in an emergency situation, such as a serious wrist fracture that pinches the median nerve. Beyond that, treatment guidelines generally advise patients to exhaust non-surgical, conservative approaches before consulting with a surgeon. Aside from potentially higher healthcare costs and a prolonged recovery, surgery also carries the risk for serious complications. Another thing to consider is that the current research suggests that jumping straight to surgery may not necessarily produce better long-term outcomes than non-surgical treatment options. In one randomized clinical trial, researchers recruited 120 female CTS patients to receive either surgery or a conservative treatment approach that involved manual therapies. The research team evaluated each patient after one month, three months, six months, and one year. In the short term—one month and three months—the results favored the conservative approach. However, both groups reported similar outcomes after six months and one year. The same research team repeated the study with another group of female CTS patients and reported similar results. In the short term, conservative care achieved greater results while both approaches had similar outcomes over the long term. A systemic review that looked at results from ten studies involving patients with confirmed CTS in one or both hands came to a similar conclusion. The review found that non-surgical care provided more satisfying results in the short term with both approaches achieving similar results over time. While these studies show that conservative treatment to reduce pressure in the carpal tunnel is an effective option for the CTS patient, doctors of chiropractic will also examine the full course of the median nerve to identify other places the it may be compressed, such as the neck, shoulder, and elbow. Median nerve compression in these areas can often co-occur with CTS and will need to be addressed to achieve a satisfactory result. www.PainReliefChiroOnline.com
