Si quitamos las primeras 2 series ofensivas y lo que sea que hizo K Brett Maher, fue un partido perfecto para Dallas. ¡Que ilusionante iniciar los playoffs con una victoria tan contundente a pesar de las limitaciones del rival! Ahora tenemos enfrente al rival más fuerte no solo del NFC, si no de toda la NFL. Vamos de visita por segundo partido consecutivo e increiblemente hay un escenario en donde Dallas puede recibir en casa el NFC Championship Game. Será un partido de alarido y para ello trajimos a un fiel seguidor de los 49ers para que nos de su perspectiva de cómo llega San Francisco. Gran episodio para un momento importantísimo.

She is the author of two bestselling books: God's Hotel, which details her time as a doctor in the last almshouse in the United States, and Slow Medicine, a memoir that outlines her approach to medicine as both a craft and art.

Joining him is David Sherry, MD, Professor Emeritus of Pediatrics, at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.

Drip shares her journey and knowledge about a trip down the rabbit hole of finding capsules that don't leak. Seriously, you want to tune-in as many easy-to-find capsule blanks often crack and leak (and yes, we discuss the dreaded "internal use of essential oils"). Drop recently finished the book “God's Hotel” by Victoria Sweet and shares the concepts of “Viriditas” (vigor, healing) and “Dr. Diet, Dr. Quiet & Dr. Merryman” all within the Galenic tradition of healing the whole person. Thanks to the book and its many references to Hildegard von Bingen, Drop has been smelling Tansy and looking to have some grow in the garden. Similarly, Drip recently planted Monarda fistulosa in her garden, though she seems to be on a never-ending search for its hard-to-come-by essential oil.

"The restructuring of my healing practice affords me the opportunity to ask the bigger questions, to challenge dogma, and to truly heal people, communities, and the planet. I have the same skillset as most physicians: laboratory analysis, expertise in interpreting medical literature, medication, antibiotics, imaging studies, and surgery. The difference is in how I use these powerful but limited tools. Healing begins with your story, and it grows outward from there in concentric circles. This approach has been called 'slow medicine' by author Victoria Sweet." www.ObgynoWino.com

San Francisco’s Laguna Honda Hospital is the last almshouse in the country, a descendant of the Hôtel-Dieu (God’s hotel) that cared for the sick in the Middle Ages. People from all demographics came there, and so did this episode's guest: Dr. Victoria Sweet. She intended to visit for just two months yet stayed for twenty years. The hospital gave Sweet the opportunity to learn from extraordinary patients an older idea of medicine that predated her traditional training, one of the body as a garden to be tended, not a machine to be fixed.

Committee Opinion #786 - Published September 2019 This is a different format from my own. This is a very heartfelt presentation on my part on the importance of incorporating principles of palliative care into our care of pregnant patients. We'll cover: - traditional versus palliative approach to managing complete prenatal diagnoses - a protocol for delivering bad news - the importance of establishing a patient's goals in order to help guide decision-making around birth - labor and delivery planning to accommodate a family's goals for their newborn (even if this means opting for a comfort-focused approach) - Nathan gets emotional ( and had to keep re-recording segments) -...and more! Shout-outs: - On Death and Dying by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross - Slow Medicine by Victoria Sweet, MD - Vital Talks on Twitter (learn how to communicate better with patients) - Nora McInerny's TED Talk on grief SHOW NOTES This episode pairs nicely with the 2016 Stephanie's Couvée Pinot Noir from River Road. Main theme music still by my main amigo, Evan Handyside

https://accadandkoka.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Sweet_-Victoria_940_529_72-ppi-e1558393884181.jpg ()Victoria Sweet, MD Is the body a machine?  Are doctors mere technicians who simply “fix” biological defects in their patients?  In a very real sense, that’s how modern societies conceive of medical practice, so much so that healthcare is now frequently experienced as an industrial process: doctors and nurses churning patients through an assembly line.  And that process is taking a huge economic, physical, and mental toll on everyone. The mechanical model on which modern medicine is based has obviously brought technological wonders to the practice of medicine—and it should be celebrated for these extraordinary achievements.  But have we become so wedded to the machine metaphor that we ignore more fundamental aspects of human reality?  Can another way of conceiving of health and life be brought to bear on the practice of medicine positively, without discarding the achievements of the scientific age? Our guest is Dr. Victoria Sweet, author of the best-sellers God’s Hotel and Slow Medicine, two of the most important books on medicine in recent times.  Those books were inspired by Dr. Sweet’s rediscovery of the medical texts of Hildegard of Bingen, a 12th-century mystic and nun whose practical approach to medicine may well contain the very principles that can help cure 21st-century health care from its seemingly irremediable predicament.

Show #183 | Guest: Victoria Sweet | Show Summary: Today, robots can perform surgery, x-rays can be conducted instantaneously, and countless tests, once unimaginable to doctors, can be executed to learn diagnoses often before symptoms are even apparent. This is truly a golden age of technological medical wonders. But at what cost? For all these technological wonders, it can hard to remember that physicians were once craftsman. Victoria Sweet, a physician at Laguna Honda Hospital for over twenty years, wants to fix this. Join Sweet as she sits down with Angie Coiro to share just how much the medical industry has changed over the years. With Slow Medicine, Sweet offers a revelatory personal vision for what a physician can and should be.

Dr. Victoria Sweet, author of God's Hotel: A Doctor, A Hospital, and a Pilgrimage to the Heart of Medicine, joins Evelyne Lambrecht on Elevate Your Energy Radio to talk about her journey as a physician at Laguna Honda Hospital In San Francisco.  We discussed: what her thoughts are on personal vs personalized medicine, what she learned about premodern medicine and how it can be applied now, how slow medicine can be used today, even in hospital settings, the efficiecny of inefficiency, and more.   

Dr. Sweet is an associate clinical professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco.She practiced medicine for twenty years at Laguna Honda Hospital in San Francisco, where she began writing. In her book, God's Hotel: A Doctor,a Hospital, and a Pilgrimage to the Heart of Medicine, she lays out her evidence in stories of her patients and her hospital for some radically new ideas about medicine and healthcare in this country. In our attempts to get control of healthcare costs by privileging “efficiency,” she suggests, we've been headed down the wrong path. Medicine works best that is, arrives at the right diagnosis and the right treatment for the least amount of money when it is personal and face-to-face; when the doctor has enough time to do a good job, and pays attention not only to the patient but to what's around the patient. Dr. Sweet calls this approach Slow Medicine.

Host: John J. Russell, MD San Francisco's Laguna Honda Hospital is the last almshouse in the country, a descendant of the Hôtel-Dieu (God's Hotel) that cared for the sick in the Middle Ages. Ballet dancers and rock musicians, professors and thieves - "anyone who had fallen, or, often, leapt, onto hard times" and needed extended medical care - ended up there. Dr. Victoria Sweet ended up there herself, as a physician. And though she came for only a two-month stay, she remained for twenty years. God's Hotel tells the story of a hospital, which - as efficiency experts, politicians, and architects descended, determined to turn it into a modern "health care facility" - revealed its truths about the cost and value of caring for body and soul.
