“What would you do if you found out you were diagnosed with a terminal illness?”We've all mulled this hypothetical question over at one point or another. Then we go back to our normal lives as if life wasn't, in fact, terminal for every person ever born, as if we have a lot more time. We treat it as a thought exercise, a philosophical conversation starter and not much more.The Stoics tried to resist that complacency. “You were probably thinking I was going to open this letter with idle chit chat about the weather,” Seneca begins one of his letters, “but I'm not, because who has the time?” “Not to live as if you had endless years ahead of you,” Marcus Aurelius said. “Death overshadows you.”Like everyone, Jake cannot escape what fortune has in store for him. But we can help Jake get every last minute of the time he deserves with his wife and family.Last month Jake was accepted into a clinical trial at the UC San Diego Medical Center, but they need financial assistance relocating him to California to receive this care. You can help by donating to his GoFund Me here.---And in today's Daily Stoic video excerpt, Ryan shares his thoughts on 14 Stoic choices. If we consistently make good choices then all will be well.

How much of our consciousness is shared? In this episode we have the fascinating job of trying to get to get to grips with Jung's concept of the Collective unconscious. I've always loved Jung and I think his ideas can offer a brilliant framework in which to maximise our mental health, to use life's challenges to harvest meaningful lessons, and just to navigate the subjective experience of being alive. But this is a science podcast, so we do want to get clear on what is just a useful idea and what is a scientifically proven reality. Jung was very shy to speak about scientifically unprovable ideas because he was a rigorous academic, but as his career progressed he was encouraged more and more to elaborate on the tools he was using with his patients; and as we'll discuss today he felt there was a huge value in acknowledging the active role of what lies outside of the sphere of testable knowledge, rather than just dismissing it as non-existent. So I am extremely happy to have Jungian analyst Dr Monika Wikman with us to help locate the threshold between these two very different fields of knowledge and to explain in detail the collective unconscious. Monika is the author of ‘Alchemy and the Rebirth of consciousness' and received her PHD in clinical psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology and then deepened her knowledge of Jungian Analysis at the Jung-Von Franz Center for Depth psychology in Zurich. She is an expert on topics including the anima mundi and environmental issues of our time, archetypal phenomena surrounding death, dreams, active imagination, and alchemy. Her work with the dying culminated in a research project called ‘Dreams of the Dying' at UC San Diego Medical Center, which is the foundation of her most recent book, Alchemy of Life, Death and the Wedding Veil.

Dr. Jose Silva talks with Urologist Dr. Yahir Santiago from UC San Diego Medical Center about the diagnosis and treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction in women. --- EARN CME Reflect on how this Podcast applies to your day-to-day and earn AMA PRA Category 1 CMEs: https://earnc.me/7YanKm --- SHOW NOTES In this episode of BackTable Urology, Dr. Yahir Santiago-Lastra, director of Women's Pelvic Medicine and associate professor of medicine at UC San Diego, joins our host Dr. Jose Silva to discuss treatment and management of pelvic floor dysfunction. Dr. Santiago-Lastra starts by distinguishing between stress incontinence and urgency incontinence. She emphasizes the importance of getting to know a patient, understanding their priorities and expectations, and correctly diagnosing the predominant type of incontinence to offer appropriate treatment. She also talks about the utility of less invasive means of evaluation, such as detailed surveys and bladder diaries, over more invasive procedures like a cystoscopy or urodynamics study. The discussion then shifts to treatment options for stress incontinence, and Dr. Santiago-Lastra states the importance of letting the patient determine the course of treatment after learning all their options. The hosts discuss the importance of pelvic floor physical therapy, and point out the lack of access to this therapy in certain communities. They then do a deep dive into sling surgery, discussing TVTs, TOTs, and mini-slings. Dr Santiago-Lastra states her preference for retropubic slings, and warns against the severe groin pain that can be caused by TOTs. The docs also talk about contraindications for sling placement, post-op care guidelines, and considerations for younger patients. The episode ends with Dr. Santiago-Lastra restating the importance of listening to one's patients, and counseling them about the wide variety of treatments available. She also points out language as a barrier to accessing care, and calls for more diversity in the field so patients can feel better understood. --- RESOURCES AUA Guidelines: https://www.auanet.org/guidelines/guidelines/stress-urinary-incontinence-(sui)-guideline EAU Guidelines: https://www.auanet.org/guidelines/guidelines/stress-urinary-incontinence-(sui)-guideline SISTEr Trial: https://repository.niddk.nih.gov/studies/sister/
