In this episode, Dr. Karen Litzy speaks with Luke Bongiorno, PT, Director of NOIGroup, about what it really looks like to bring pain science into the treatment room. Karen and Luke dig into how he blends manual therapy, breath work, movement, and even music into a pain-science-informed approach and why consent, communication, and simply being human with patients matter as much as any technique. They also talk about leading a global education company, protecting a "care at the forefront" culture as the business scales, and staying grounded as a clinician wearing a dozen different hats.

In NYC, Luke co-founded New York Sports Medicine, a company later acquired by United Healthcare. Still one of New York City's most prominent physical therapists, Luke's extensive experience in managing acute and chronic pain and sports injuries means he travels frequently to work with professional and Olympic athletes, as well as members of touring performing arts and dance companies. He currently serves as a consultant to the NBA League and European professional soccer teams. Luke is also affiliated with the clinical education programs of Columbia University and Touro College. Luke takes a hands-on approach to care, combining his advanced manual therapy skills with exercise and education.

Frank and Jill Show -8.20.26 - Radiothon- United Healthcare Dr. Johar by

Dr. Danielle Madril, Chief Medical Officer of United Healthcare of Florida –explains the role of doulas in providing education and support for parents-to-be before and after baby delivery. It is a complimentary role to a midwife, but not the same thing, and can be a beneficial part of the mother's medical team. Dr. Madril cites statistics of reduced delivery complications, and decreased incidents & serverity of post-partum depression and parental anxiety.

In this episode of Profiling Evil, I sit down with clinical and forensic psychologist Dr. Joni Johnston to examine why some women pursue relationships with men responsible for notorious killings. We begin with Chris Watts, who is serving life without parole for murdering his pregnant wife, Shanann Watts, their daughters, Bella and Celeste, and their unborn son, Nico. With reports that Watts may now want to marry a woman who has repeatedly visited him in prison, we discuss what someone may gain from a relationship built around distance, controlled contact and the belief that she alone understands the man behind the crime.Dr. Johnston explains the limited research surrounding hybristophilia, the term commonly used for attraction to people who commit serious crimes. We discuss rescue fantasies, religious redemption, the desire to feel uniquely important, denial of overwhelming evidence and the emotional appeal of a relationship in which everyday responsibilities are largely absent. We also examine how an incarcerated offender can create intimacy through letters, telephone calls and carefully controlled stories while the person outside supplies money, attention, loyalty and a connection to the free world.We compare Watts with Richard Ramirez, the Night Stalker, who received attention from numerous women while awaiting execution and eventually married Doreen Lioy. Her refusal to accept the evidence against him lasted for years before DNA linked Ramirez to the killing of nine-year-old Mei Leung. We also discuss Luigi Mangione and the public support, romantic attention and substantial defense contributions he received after the killing of UnitedHealthcare executive Brian Thompson. Mangione has now pleaded guilty to two federal stalking charges resulting in Thompson's death and admitted in court that he shot him; the separate New York murder prosecution is currently being challenged by his attorneys. (Associated Press)This conversation is not about assuming that every person who writes to an inmate has the same motivation. It is about understanding the different psychological needs that can make these relationships attractive, the ways imprisoned offenders may groom or manipulate people outside and the difference between a sincere claim of change and years of accountable behavior. Dr. Johnston also explains why intelligence, professional training or previous relationship experience does not necessarily protect someone from emotional manipulation.I want to hear what you think. Should Chris Watts be permitted to marry while serving life for killing Shanann, Bella, Celeste and Nico? Is a prison relationship evidence of love, a rescue effort, a redemption story or something the offender has carefully constructed?#ChrisWatts #ShanannWatts #BellaWatts #CelesteWatts #NicoWatts #LuigiMangione #BrianThompson #RichardRamirez #JoniJohnston #JennieVincow #DayleOkazaki #TsaiLianYu #VincentZazzara #MaxineZazzara #WilliamDoi #MabelBell #MaryLouiseCannon #JoyceLucilleNelson #MaxonKneiding #LelaKneiding #ChainarongKhovananth #ElyasAbowath #PeterPan #MeiLeung #TrueCrime #ForensicPsychology #PrisonRelationships #PrisonGrooming #Hybristophilia #LoveBehindBars #VictimAdvocacy #ProfilingEvil========================================20% OFF Newspapers.comhttps://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26========================================Discounts on eBikes: https://aipasbike.com/?ref=PROFILINGEVILReferral Coupon Code: PROFILINGEVIL========================================Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com========================================

In this episode, the shocking guilty plea of Luigi Mangione on federal stalking charges tied to the death of UnitedHealthcare's CEO. Also, ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee astonishingly called Israeli settlers "terrorists." Finally, the alarming rollout of autonomous surveillance drones by local police departments across the U.S. All much more!My livestreams are on Mon and Fri at 3pm ET/Noon PT and Wednesday at 8pm ET/5pm PT. I am one of the most censored comedians in America. Thanks for the support!

Text the show! Luigi Mangione pleaded guilty. Twenty months after his killing was celebrated as a rupture, a reckoning, and a catalyst for healthcare reform, it is finally time to check the scoreboard.What was the demand? What was the mechanism? Who built the coalition? What was the result?The answer is brutal: the movement generated celebrity, merchandise, courtroom fan culture, and a seven-figure legal defense fund—but no measurable improvement for sick Americans.Chad examines the difference between a legitimate grievance and an effective movement, why political spectacle feels like change even when it produces nothing, and the bipartisan healthcare legislation quietly doing more than the entire Mangione phenomenon.The grievance is real. The fury is earned. But fury without construction is merely rage with better branding.Plus, in the After Hours Q&A:• Why healthcare still relies on fax machines• What Mangione actually pleaded guilty to• Why telling patients to appeal isn't excusing insurers• Whether covering Mangione gives him the fame he wanted• Why insurance denials deserve their own full investigationTEXT THE SHOW: 252-CHAD-LAWVisit ChadParkerLaw.com for the books, editorials, The Gaily News, and the free Common Sense Conservative Manifesto.CHAPTERS00:00 The Scoreboard of Healthcare Reform02:04 Personal vs. Political Vengeance04:57 The Marketing of a Movement07:48 The Absence of a Clear Demand10:23 The Role of Social Media in Activism12:47 The Failure to Create Real Change15:00 Analyzing the Results of the Movement18:49 The Illusion of Change in Healthcare22:07 Real Change vs. Spectacle23:48 Relief vs. Reform26:55 Public Sentiment and Political Violence29:36 Constructive Anger: The Path Forward31:59 The Consequences of Inaction33:30 Grievance, Action, and the Reagan Reminder

UnitedHealthcare posted $5.5 billion in profit this quarter. Another state just opted out of physician supervision requirements. And CMS quietly gutted what's left of anesthesia's quality reporting program. Joseph A. Rodriguez, Co-Founder and Chief Growth Officer at Guide Anesthesia, is joined by Randy Moore, Chief Anesthetist Officer and Executive Vice President for Strategy, and Gary Keeling, VP Business Development at Coronis Revenue Cycle Management, for a wide-ranging read on where anesthesia economics are actually headed. They don't agree on how much of this changes practice on the ground. That's the point. Ohio becomes the 27th opt-out state, and the three break down why the practical impact rarely matches the headline. CMS's 2027 proposed rule drops the conversion factor again and dismantles MIPS reporting, Gary explains why almost nobody hits the threshold anymore. UnitedHealthcare's quarterly numbers spark a sharper conversation about what a 7% margin on $112 billion in revenue actually signals about the system underneath it, and about the difference between a flawed idea and a poorly executed one. A new rural healthcare bill promising higher CRNA and anesthesiologist reimbursement gets a clear-eyed "it won't work" from all three. Plus: the pre-op smoking conversation nobody has ever actually had, and why "productivity, not cost" might be the real headline healthcare keeps missing. TAKEAWAYS Opt-out status changes almost nothing for practice models outside of all-CRNA sites already considering the switch. The headline outruns the operational impact by a wide margin. MIPS in anesthesia has become a check-the-box exercise with no measurable link to patient outcomes. Most providers no longer even hit the reporting threshold. Every CMS reimbursement cut gets absorbed the same way: pushed onto facility subsidies, which raises the cost of entry for new and smaller groups and accelerates consolidation. A rural anesthesia reimbursement bump sounds like an access fix but doesn't change the math for anesthesiologists or hospitals. Small percentages of small numbers stay small. Extreme profit sitting next to a broken system is not proof that free enterprise failed. It's proof that execution failed. Confusing the two is what pushes public opinion toward bad solutions. Healthcare's financial strain reads as a cost problem when it's actually a productivity problem. Fix throughput and OR utilization, and a large share of the "cost crisis" narrative disappears.

Luigi Mangione confessed in federal court on August 14 to shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan. He pleaded guilty to two counts of interstate stalking resulting in death. The federal murder charge had already been dismissed. No deal was offered.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski on True Crime Today to analyze the plea and the defense strategy surrounding it.Mangione outlined his planning for the court. He emailed UnitedHealthcare pretending to manage a fund worth more than fifty billion dollars. The company sent back the conference location within an hour. He traveled to New York, positioned himself outside the venue, and shot Thompson from behind as the CEO walked toward the event.His attorneys filed to dismiss the New York state murder charges on double jeopardy grounds the same day. State jury selection had been set for September 8. The defense asked for the federal hearing three days prior.Mangione's sentencing date is December 18. The court cited guidelines of twenty-four to thirty years, though prosecutors have publicly announced they want life. He is twenty-eight, putting even the low end of the range past his fiftieth birthday.Since his arrest, Mangione has beaten terrorism charges when a judge ruled the evidence insufficient and avoided a federal murder conviction entirely. Coffindaffer examines what this trajectory tells an investigator, whether the double jeopardy motion has legal merit, and whether a system that started with a death-penalty-eligible case and ended with a stalking conviction has been outplayed.Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Luigi Mangione admitted in federal court that he shot and killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on a Manhattan sidewalk in December 2024. He entered the plea without a deal — no agreement, no negotiated sentence, no promises from the government. He wore prison fatigues instead of his usual courtroom suit. He expressed zero remorse.The plea was a legal play, not a confession of conscience.His defense team immediately filed to dismiss the state murder charges under New York's double jeopardy protections. The state case — second-degree murder, carrying 25-to-life — is set for trial September 8. If the double jeopardy motion succeeds, Mangione avoids a second prosecution entirely. The Manhattan DA's office has vowed to fight it.This episode covers the mechanics of the federal plea, the sentencing exposure Mangione now faces (guidelines suggest 24 to 30 years, prosecutors want life, sentencing December 18), and the strategic calculation behind pleading guilty with nothing guaranteed. It also follows the insurance industry angle: UnitedHealthcare denied roughly one-third of claims, used an AI algorithm instead of doctors to make coverage decisions, and responded to the public backlash not with structural reform but with a defamation law firm targeting critics on social media.Thompson's wife Paulette was in the courtroom. She watched the man who shot her husband describe the killing without emotion. Thompson was 50, a father of two boys in high school, and had worked at UnitedHealth Group for 20 years.Mangione believed his actions would force an industry to change. The denial rates are functionally the same. The insurance companies are still standing. Thompson's family is still looking for justice.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Luigi Mangione told a federal judge he shot Brian Thompson in Manhattan and Thompson died. He said he knew it was illegal. He described stalking the UnitedHealthcare CEO to an investor conference, printing a weapon, and traveling across state lines to carry out the killing. There was no plea agreement.Within hours, his defense team filed a motion that could end the state murder case entirely.New York's double jeopardy law says a defendant can't be prosecuted twice for the same conduct. Mangione's lawyers argue the federal guilty plea now blocks the September 8 state trial on second-degree murder charges. The Manhattan DA's office is prepared to fight the motion. Justice Gregory Carro will decide whether the state case moves forward.The federal sentencing guidelines suggest 24 to 30 years, but the judge isn't bound by them. Prosecutors are seeking life. Sentencing is December 18.This episode traces the full arc: Mangione's weeks of planning, his arrest at a McDonald's in Pennsylvania, the terrorism charges thrown out in September 2025, the death penalty dismissed in January 2026, and the open plea that landed with no deal attached. It also examines UnitedHealthcare's claim denial rates, the AI algorithm that replaced clinical judgment, the voluntary industry pledges that produced no measurable reform, and the defamation law firm the company hired to manage the fallout.Thompson was 50 years old, a father of two, and was walking to work when Mangione shot him from behind. His family called the plea an important step toward justice and asked the court to make the sentence match the crime.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Luigi Mangione told a federal judge on August 14 that he killed Brian Thompson. He said he shot the UnitedHealthcare CEO in Manhattan and knew it was illegal. The conviction that followed was for stalking — not murder.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski to cover the plea and the strategy it appears to be built on.The federal murder charge was dismissed months before the hearing. Terrorism charges were thrown out when a judge found the evidence legally insufficient. What remained were two stalking counts carrying a maximum sentence of life in prison. Mangione pleaded guilty to both without a deal.He described for the court how he identified the location of the UnitedHealthcare investor conference by posing as a financial manager overseeing more than fifty billion dollars. The company gave him the address within an hour of his email. He traveled to New York, arrived ahead of Thompson, and waited.Mangione's defense team filed a double jeopardy motion to block the state murder case before he was back in his cell. The state trial had been scheduled for September jury selection. His attorneys asked for this federal hearing three days before it.Sentencing is set for December 18. The guidelines recommend twenty-four to thirty years. Mangione is twenty-eight, which means the low end would put his release in his early fifties. Prosecutors have publicly stated they are seeking life.Coffindaffer breaks down what the timing reveals about legal strategy, what the level of preoperational planning says to an investigator, and whether this sequence of dropped and reduced charges amounts to a system being outmaneuvered.Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Michael Smerconish reacts to Luigi Mangione's guilty plea in the killing of UnitedHealthcare executive Brian Thompson — and to what he says was notably missing: remorse. He examines Mangione's courtroom statement, his lawyers' double-jeopardy strategy, and the continuing public anger toward America's health insurance system. Then, listeners weigh in on a provocative question: Do Mangione's grievances with the health care system mitigate his crime in any way? The answers leave Michael stunned.

P.M. Edition for Aug. 14. Money managers have a problem: Clients are holding near-record amounts in cash—by one estimate more than $3 trillion. Miriam Gottfried, a reporter and co-host of WSJ's Take On the Week podcast, explains why this is happening and what financial planners are pushing their clients to do instead. Plus, two pieces of data—July retail sales and the preliminary August reading of the University of Michigan's consumer sentiment survey—came in lower than expected. WSJ economics reporter Matt Grossman says that is painting a picture of a weaker U.S. economy. And AI slop is everywhere, making it hard to know what's real online.

President Donald Trump announced today in a Truth Social post that he is looking into whether the federal government can stop New York City's pied-à-terre tax.Former U.S. Marine Robert Gilman, 32, was released Tuesday by Russia on a humanitarian basis after the president said he spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin.“We appreciate this decision, and the fact that Russia asked for no one in return—No exchange took place,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.The defense for the accused killer of UnitedHealthcare's CEO requested in filing papers that the state court not restrict public access to the trial. However, on Tuesday before oral arguments began, the judge scolded them for making the request.Republican senators released some of the 34,000 text messages from Dr. Anthony Fauci's government phone. They highlight Fauci's comments on the COVID-19 vaccines for pregnant women.

A practicing pathologist explains why DaVita, UnitedHealth, and Natera are playing fundamentally different games — and why one of them could break first.Investing in healthcare stocks requires a different framework than semiconductor investing. In this excerpt from a CSI live Q&A, we sit down with Dr. Brad Gibson — a practicing pathologist and private-practice partner — to break down how the US healthcare system actually gets paid, and what that means for stock picking.Brad walks through four investable buckets: medical service providers (DaVita, Natera, TransMedics), health insurers (UnitedHealth, CVS, Cigna, Elevance), pharmaceutical companies (Eli Lilly, Vertex), and healthcare hardware/software providers (Stryker, Veeva, Intuitive Surgical).The conversation covers Medicaid and Medicare reimbursement mechanics, CPT codes and RVU conversion factors, why private practices are being pushed into hospital consolidation, how pharmacy benefit managers generate profit through rebates, and why UnitedHealthcare's vertical integration has drawn regulatory scrutiny. Brad also gives his take on AI in pathology and drug discovery, and explains why he's more concerned about a healthcare cost bubble than an AI bubble.If you're building a healthcare investing thesis for 2026, this is where to start.If you want the reasoning behind more names like this one, Semiconductor Insider covers the process in more depth: https://www.chipstockinvestor.comAll our socials: https://linktr.ee/chipstockinvestorContent in this episode is for general information or entertainment only and is not specific or individual investment advice.

Clay Mertes and UnitedHealthcare's Bobbi Jo Massey discuss preparing early for AEP by completing AHIP and contracting in advance, then focus on UnitedHealthcare Golden Rule/UnitedHealthOne senior ancillary products that help cover Medicare Advantage and Med Supp out-of-pocket gaps. Massey explains how benefit degradation, higher consumer exposure, and fewer SEP opportunities make cross-selling ancillary a way to protect seniors on fixed incomes, diversify broker income, and improve persistency. She details three key products—Advantage Guard hospital indemnity (GI age 74 moving to 79 on Aug 21 with optional riders and a plan recommendation tool), Critical Guard cancer/heart-stroke/critical illness (GI increases to 79 with optional wellness and Rx riders), and an accident plan—plus dental, vision, and a dental discount program. She highlights easy broker-assisted applications, flexible effective dates, claims payment metrics, and using the uhone.com/broker portal.

This episode of PT Breakfast Club starts with a simple question:What should an EMR actually do?Tony Maritato and Jimmy McKay discuss the divide between the clinical and administrative sides of EMRs, why AI should be more than ambient documentation, and how the future of physical therapy technology should make clinicians better instead of turning them into data-entry horses with name badges.Jimmy introduces the idea of the centaur vs reverse centaur: good technology combines human reasoning with machine horsepower. Bad technology makes the human serve the machine.From there, the conversation expands into wearable data, RTM, patient apps, Peloton, video games, hospitality, software, and why PT may need to steal ideas from outside healthcare to build something patients and clinicians actually want to use.The crew also talks about Sean Pastuch and Active Life, the space between physical therapy and fitness, trainers “stepping on toes,” UnitedHealthcare reimbursement, the reality of $60 visits, price anchoring, and why Dick's Sporting Goods may have a better patient engagement lesson than most healthcare conferences.The final message:Understand what game you're playing.In This EpisodeWhat EMRs should do in an AI worldWhy clinical and administrative workflows are two sides of the same coinThe “centaur vs reverse centaur” model for AI and cliniciansWhy wearable data needs synthesis, not just captureWhy RTM often feels like homeworkWhat PT can learn from video games, Peloton, software, and hotelsWhy Active Life found the space between PT and fitnessScope creep, trainers, and PT defensivenessThe UnitedHealthcare $60 visit problemWhy some clinics can make low reimbursement work and others can'tPrice anchoring and the PACE BIKES shoe exampleWhat clinics can learn from Dick's Sporting GoodsWhy attention leads to trust and trust leads to actionPull Quotes“The EMR should work for me. I shouldn't work for the EMR.”“We want to be centaurs, not reverse centaurs.”“We don't need more data. We need useful data at the moment of care.”“RTM fails when it feels like homework.”“We keep trying to make the EMR incrementally suck less.”“The answer is not coming from inside healthcare.”“Are you mad they're doing it, or are you mad they're doing it better than you?”“Attention leads to trust. Trust leads to action.”“Understand what game you're playing.”

It's hard to believe, but the first day of school is just around the corner. While families are checking off school supply lists and getting those backpacks ready, there's another checklist that's just as important—making sure our children are healthy, physically, emotionally and mentally, before they head back into the classroom. Today we're talking about what parents need to know to help their children get off to a healthy start and stay healthy all school year long.

Two topics today. First, unionization, which is having a real moment in healthcare. Banner Health's hospitalists just formed the largest physician union in Arizona. The Brigham and Women's nurses recently held the largest one-day strike in Massachusetts history. I get into why physicians are so far behind on this, historically we've been independent, and you can't unionize as a practice owner or contractor, and why we're catching up now that companies like Apollo MD, Sound Physicians, SCP Health, and even Optum are employing us. After the break, another eye drop recall. This one is a big one. 2.5 million bottles of prednisolone from Lupin Pharmaceuticals recalled after a foreign substance was found. Prednisolone is one of the most commonly prescribed drops in ophthalmology and standard after cataract surgery, so this one is going to be felt. Takeaways: Physician unionization is accelerating: Banner Health's hospitalists just formed Arizona's largest physician union, and the Brigham and Women's nurses recently held the largest one-day strike in Massachusetts history Physicians have lagged nurses on unionization because they were historically independent, practice owners and contractors can't unionize, but as more doctors become W2 employees of health systems, private equity groups, and corporations like UnitedHealthcare (the country's largest employer of physicians), unions become both viable and appealing SCP Health's move to hire displaced Valley Health emergency physicians as 1099 contractors has multiple downstream effects, no benefits obligations for the company, and no legal path to unionization for those doctors Lupin Pharmaceuticals is recalling 2.5 million bottles of generic prednisolone eye drops after a foreign substance was found; prednisolone is one of the most commonly prescribed post-cataract drops in ophthalmology, so a shortage could disrupt post-op inflammation control Instead of intra-healthcare-worker infighting, Will's ask is radical transparency from hospitals, actual prices, actual reimbursement rates, actual margins, actual payer contracts, so everyone can see where the money is really going before accepting the argument that one group's raise costs another its own To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live  We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

Today's main event: how a physician-owned practice negotiates with UnitedHealthcare. UHC is notorious for raising premiums 20 to 30% while offering physician reimbursement bumps of about 1%. I walk through exactly how we push back at Eye Health Northwest, phone messages that spell out the math, letters to patients, and yes, taking the contract to the brink when we have to. This works because we're large and physician-owned, which is why I make the case for other independents to consider joining forces locally instead of selling to private equity or chasing the Sound Physicians model. After the break, a quick "don't do that" tip, and some actual advice for the residents and interns who just started on July 1. Takeaways: UnitedHealthcare consistently reimburses below other commercial payers, often raising premiums 20 to 30% while offering physician reimbursement increases as low as 1%, the ability to push back depends heavily on practice size and market share Eye Health Northwest formed 40 years ago when three independent practices merged, creating the scale needed to stay physician-owned, avoid private equity, and negotiate meaningfully with big insurers, a model Will recommends for other independents willing to stay local The most effective renegotiation tactic is patient transparency: phone messages, letters, and clear math about premium hikes versus reimbursement stagnation motivate patients to pressure the payer directly, which is what ultimately gets big insurers to blink Covering an entire long-weekend call solo across all practice sites is a very different animal than typical private-practice call, Will openly acknowledges that private-practice ophthalmologists have lost perspective compared to residency call at a level one trauma center Advice for new residents: check vision before consulting ophthalmology, stay humble, listen to patients before the system beats it out of you, protect a few minutes a week for something completely outside medicine, and invest heavily in your co-residents — no one else will fully understand what you're going through To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live  We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!
