A Transplant Surgeon's Journey To Help Others, with Dr Madison Cuffy During this episode of This Thing Called Life podcast, host Andi Johnson speaks with Dr. Madison Cuffy, an Associate Professor at UC Health. Dr. Cuffy has built trust-filled relationships with his transplant patients throughout the years and loves nothing more than to see them live their lives to the fullest after getting their transplant.   Episode Highlights:  Dr. Cuffy started his medical journey back in 2002 which led to a multi-organ  transplant fellowship at New York Presbyterian. Growing up in Brooklyn, Dr. Cuffy was first introduced to Cincinnati by Talib Kweli and Hi Tek. As a 14-year-old, Dr. Cuffy became interested in medicine while volunteering in a hospital cleaning instruments. Even to this day, no one in Dr. Cuffy's family has experience in medicine, nor any clue what a transplant surgeon does. Dr. Cuffy was born in the Caribbean and grew up with his great aunt in New York. One of the most common misconceptions surrounding organ donation is that the medical community will let you die. After being in transplant and seeing how one can help create life during a time of despair, Dr. Cuffy became an organ donor. The medical community is not out to harm organ donors in order to harvest their organs, contrary to popular belief. According to the statistics, on average, 22 people die every day waiting on an organ transplant. While most of his focus is on kidney transplants, Dr. Cuffy does work with all transplant organs. There is an access problem for people who need a kidney transplant and are on dialysis. Dr. Cuffy facilitates living kidney donation as the best option to treat end-stage renal disease. Andi has noticed that people of color tend to shy away from sharing their donation needs with other people. Socioeconomic issues and disadvantages can make it more difficult for certain patients to share their stories. People who don't want to share their stories need a donor champion to do it for them. There are different forms of literacy, so Dr. Cuffy makes sure his patients know that there is no stupid question. It's important for patients to speak up about their questions to their doctor so that they don't get misinformation from another source. If your physician is too busy to answer your questions now or in the future, you may need to find a different provider. Dr. Cuffy feels rewarded by his job when he sees his patients experiencing life after their transplant. His grandmother's advice was “Always be yourself”, even when things get tough, this message helps Dr Cuffy get through hard days. Raised without his parents in Brooklyn, Dr. Cuffy knows first hand that you can do anything you set your mind to. Dr. Cuffy has always had an extra gear that has allowed him to outwork everyone around him. When he goes back to Brooklyn now, Dr. Cuffy gets a different kind of respect from the people he grew up with. Dr. Cuffy thoroughly enjoys going to J. Alexanders in Cincinnati because of the sheer amount of professional African Americans that go there. 3 Key Points: While volunteering at a hospital with the hopes of staying off the streets as a 15-year-old boy, Dr. Cuffy had the opportunity to watch a kidney transplant up close, and that's how he chose the transplant route. Unlike in other cities that have multiple transplant programs with different surgeons, Cincinnati has a single transplant program where the doctors act as one unit. Living donor kidneys last anywhere from 15 to 20 years, recipients don't have to wait on a list to get one, and the quality is usually very good.

Dr. David Weill joins Tim to talk about those life-saving transplant surgeries, the patients, the system for care and the challenges it faces, and what it's like to be a doctor of second chances. Dr. Weill was the Director of the Center for Advanced Lung Disease, and the Lung Transplant Program at Stanford. Today he operates the Weill Consulting Group, where he focuses on improving the delivery of transplant care. This episode was first released December 13, 2021. https://traffic.libsyn.com/forcedn/shapingopinion/Encore_-_A_Transplant_Surgeon_Story.mp3 The first time doctors were able to transplant a human organ happened in 1954. That's when a kidney was transplanted successfully. In the decades to come, medical pioneers would master the medical art of transplanting livers, lungs, hearts, pancreases and other vital organs. While these surgeries are never described as routine, they are no longer uncommon. In the early years, individual hospitals and certain organizations managed everything from organ recovery, to transport, to transplantation. In between, they had to learn how to allocate valuable, life-saving organs for the most viable patients. In some respects, not much has changed, and that's a problem. Dr. David Weill has spent his career in organ transplantation with a focus on lungs helping those with severe lung disease. He ran the Lung Transplant Program at Stanford, and he wrote a book called “Exhale: Hope, Healing, and a Life in Transplant.” Links Weill Consulting Group (website) Dr. David Weill, Tulane Medicine website Supply Isn't the Problem with Organ Transplants, Wall Street Journal Exhale: Hope, Healing, and a Life in Transplant, by Dr. David Weill (Barnes & Noble) Opinion: Of course unvaccinated people should be barred from receiving transplant organs, Washington Post About this Episode's Guest Dr. David Weill Dr. David Weill has been in the forefront of developing and running some of the most successful lung transplant programs in the country. He served as Director of the Lung and Heart-Lung Transplant Program at Stanford University Medical Center from 2005-2016. He also developed the Stanford Center for Advanced Lung Disease which provides care for hundreds of patients with cystic fibrosis, interstitial fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension, and emphysema. During this period, he also directed a rebuilding effort of the lung transplant program, producing some of the best outcomes in the country, while increasing the transplant program volume more than three-fold. In addition to his medical practice, Dr. Weill has testified before the U.S. Congress regarding occupational lung diseases. He has also published extensively in the medical literature regarding lung transplantation, occupational lung disease and advanced lung disease. He and his wife Jackie recently moved to his hometown of New Orleans with their two daughters.

#AskDrJohnWatts Different questions related to baldness, hair grafts, hair loss, hair transplant procedures and medical treatments for hair loss are being raised by patients now and then, including the followers of Dr John Watts, who keep flooding his series of hugely popular educational videos on his popular YouTube channel with queries related to different hair issues. In this video session, Hyderabad's noted dermatologist & trichologist and one of the Best Hair Transplant Surgeons in Hyderabad, Dr John Watts answers a select question from a hair transplant patient on whether he can force his way and get his hair transplant surgeon to design a lower hairline. Will it suit his face? Will such a lower hairline design have any disadvantages? In this educational video, Dr John Watts explains the pros and cons of such an attempt. So far, Dr John Watts has performed over 2000+ hair transplant surgeries successfully. Lovely Teja asks: Sir, I want to have a reduced forehead look by opting for a lower hairline design. Can I insist my hair transplant surgeon design a lower hairline? Will it affect my look? Please explain. When considering a hair transplant procedure, some people may want to opt for a lower hairline to achieve a more youthful look. However, before making this decision, there are several potential drawbacks that should be taken into account. In response to the above queries by Lovely Teja, Dr John Watts said that it is not advisable to design a lower hairline by forcing one's hair transplant surgeon to have one's way. “Such an attempt will backfire if you force your hair transplant surgeon to design a lower hairline,” warned Dr John Watts. In fact, he listed out the following reasons why one should not opt for a lower hairline design and leave the decision-making to one's hair transplant surgeon to take the call. 1. One should always opt for a mature hairline design or a neutral hairline that would look natural. A lower hairline may not look natural or proportional to your facial features, particularly as one ages, the skin also ages and the face changes over time. 2. If one has excessive baldness at the back as well as front, achieving a lower hairline may require more grafts and more donor hair, which can increase the cost and risk of complications associated with the procedure. With a lower hairline, more grafts would be required for transplantation but there won't be enough available grafts for the hair transplant procedure. 3. As one age, a teenage-like hairline should be avoided as it would be completely at odds with one's facial features. “The best hairline is based on how one looks after shaving one's scalp. One needs to observe people how they look after shaving their scalp to get an idea,” advised Dr John Watts. 4. A lower hairline may not match the facial features of the person. Hence, the results would look completely odd. 5. A lower hairline may draw attention to forehead wrinkles or other signs of ageing, which could actually make you look older than you are. Conclusion: It's important to recognize that a lower hairline may not necessarily match one's expectations or personal preferences but a hairline design is something that is best left to one's hair transplant surgeon to decide. It should always suit the facial structures of a person. Trichos provides state-of-the-art treatment for various hair loss conditions and offers advanced hair transplant solutions.

#AskDrJohnWatts CA Sudeep asks: Sir, I am curious to know why there is a cobblestone effect after a hair transplant procedure. How can a hair transplant surgeon avoid this problem in a patient? Please explain. In his response, Dr John Watts tells Sudeep that on rare occasions cobblestone effect may appear in some patients due to several reasons including transplant by inexperienced surgeons. “The cobblestone effect results in bumps and uneven raised skin growth that are visible to the eye. Sometimes this cobblestone effect may last, ranging from 5 months to a year but then it goes away on its own. Laser treatment is one way to solve this problem quickly,” advised Dr John Watts. When compared to the scalp region, Dr John Watts said that the cobblestone effect is mostly seen following a beard hair transplant procedure.

#AskDrJohnWatts Leech Therapy for Hair Loss | Explained! | Dr John Watts - Hair Transplant Surgeon In leech therapy, leeches are released on bald spots or on areas affected by hair loss to suck the blood. They are known to have anticoagulant properties in their saliva that releases Hirudin, making the blood flow continuously. The leeches are then removed from the scalp to help the blood clot again and Ayurvedic medications are applied on the spot before the process is repeated after a gap of 15–20 days. Leech therapy practitioners claim that this process helps the body to remove bad blood and good blood soon takes its place, resulting in hair growth in the affected area besides controlling hair loss.

Sarcacist asks: “Sir, I have severe hair loss from all over the body including chest, scalp, beard and other places. What should I do? I am worried. Please advise. In his response, Dr John Watts tells Sarcacist that there could be multiple reasons why he is facing this hair loss condition on his entire body including the scalp, beard, chest and other parts. He listed the following possible reasons: 1. Lack of proper nutrition over an extended period or taking a crash diet used as a weight-loss technique could lead to a condition called telogen effluvium resulting in hair loss. 2. Even when one takes regular food but it does not have adequate nutrition value for hair growth may lead to hair loss condition. 3. Severe hair loss could also be attributed to untreated hormonal/thyroid issues for which proper medication is needed. 4. Different types of stress can also contribute to hair loss conditions if they remain untreated and undiagnosed for long. 5. An autoimmune condition called Alopecia Areata can lead to severe hair loss if it remains untreated. Conclusion: PRP or hair transplant is not a solution in the above scenarios as medication or improving nutrition, sleep or reducing stress can set the problem right. “This is where consulting good dermatologist matters as the exact needs to be diagnosed first before proper treatment can be initiated,” said Dr John Watts, while urging viewers to share the video among their friends for awareness.

We talk with kidney transplant surgeon Dr. Robert Montgomery about his own experience of receiving a heart transplant three years ago. This led him to a new understanding of the challenging “new normal” for patients after a transplant, which involves multiple medications and many new responsibilities. We also discuss the evolving impacts of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on an estimated 10 million people with compromised immune systems. Dr. Montgomery talks about his health equity leadership role at NYC Langone, where intentional policies are helping to foster diverse hiring and retention of health workers from underrepresented groups. He also shares some of the ways that the institute is improving health outcomes in transplantation, through research into disparities and understanding of their root causes, particularly social determinants.

We are joined by history maker Dr. Velma Scantlebury, who became the first Black female transplant surgeon in the US in 1989. In a wide-ranging discussion we ask whether all the current talk about health equity is resulting in real action, and we explore several current examples of intentional change. Firstly, the “Boldly Against Racism” Campaign at the American Society of Transplant Surgeons (ASTS); secondly, the updated Hippocratic Oath at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, clearly centering health equity, diversity, and inclusion; and thirdly the recent recommendations affecting the way that kidney function calculations (eGFR) are made. Dr. Scantlebury also shares her concerns that patients with fewer resources are being disadvantaged by the burden of appointments required in preparing for a transplant and this may extend how long patients are kept on dialysis, acting as a potential barrier to transplantation. Velma P. Scantlebury, M.D, FACS, recently retired from Christiana Care's Kidney Transplant Program where she served as the Associate Director, and Director of Outpatient Clinics. She currently holds the position of Professor of Surgery at Texas Christian University (TCU) and University of North Texas Health Science Center (UNTHSC) and Medical School, in Forth Worth Texas. Dr. Scantlebury also serves as a medical advisor to various organizations and healthcare professionals.
