Dr. Erkeda DeRouen talks to Dr. Susan Baumgaertel, an internal medicine physician with 30 years of experience and founder of MenopauseMenu and myMDadvocate. They discuss menopause lessons for medical students, things everybody should know about menopause, and why men need to know about menopause too.   [00:00] Introduction [02:20] Menopause - The Forgotten Branch of Medicine [02:51] How Students Can Learn to Work with Women in Menopause [06:27] The Benefits of Listening to Your Patients [07:10] How to Educate Patients About the Different Stages of Menopause [09:16] Ways to Ask For More Time From Your Doctor [11:36] Dr. Baumgaertel's Book - The Menopause Menu [16:14] Men Need to Know About Menopause Too [19:39] What Dr. Baumgaertel Would Change About US Healthcare [22:10] Parting Thoughts  Menopause is More Than Hot Flashes Dr. Baumgaertel emphasizes that menopause is often seen through a narrow lens, focusing solely on hot flashes. However, she challenges this narrative, urging us to recognize the multifaceted aspects of menopause that impact every woman uniquely. From this conversation, it's very clear that understanding menopause goes beyond just one medical discipline. It involves everything from primary care, OB/GYN, cardiology, dermatology, rheumatology, neurology, and more.  Dr. Baumgaertel stresses the importance of a multifactorial approach when caring for menopausal patients. Each woman's experience is unique, and healthcare professionals must be receptive and attentive to their patients' needs. Yes, commonalities exist, but not every woman experiences menopause in the same way. In fact, some women don't experience menopausal symptoms at all.  Advocating for Yourself: Sending Agendas Dr. Baumgaertel encourages women to advocate for themselves by setting the agenda during medical appointments. Sometimes an hour-long doctor's appointment is not enough, and it's okay to ask your doctor for more time. By addressing specific concerns and communicating them ahead of time, patients can ensure that their healthcare providers allocate the necessary time to discuss crucial aspects of menopause. Menopause is a stressful time and you need all the support you can get.  The Menopause Menu Book: A Resource for All Dr. Susan introduces her book, "The Menopause Menu: From Hot Flashes to Delicious Dishes, A Symptom-Driven Nourishing Guide to Mastering Menopause." Combining practical advice with a visually engaging format, the book is designed to reach a broad audience, including men seeking to support their partners. According to Dr. Baumgaertel, women in their late 30s to early 60s need accurate information on the entire menopausal journey. The Menopause Menu provides helpful, science-based advice, presented with a unique blend of personal narrative and holistic support. The chapters are easy to read and are paired with 16 simple recipes. Grab a copy of Dr. Baumgaertel's book The Menopause Menu on Amazon and reach out to her via LinkedIn, YouTube, and her Website for more details about her work.    To learn more about how MedSchoolCoach can help you along your medical school journey, visit us at Prospective Doctor.  You can also reach us through our social media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MedSchoolCoach Dr. Erkeda's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/doctordgram/ YouTube: www.youtube.com/@ProspectiveDoctor

“I can think of examples where I have two patients. They have the same diagnosis, but they have two different insurance companies, treatment plan's the same. ‘Patient A' isn't going to get the optimal treatment plan because their insurance company won't approve it. ‘Patient B' is going to get the Cadillac version of this treatment plan, and what am I supposed to do about it,” Lucia D. Wocial, PhD, RN, FAAN, HEC-C, senior clinical ethicist in the John J. Lynch Center for Ethics at the MedStar Washington Hospital Center in Washington, DC, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a discussion about how access-to-care issues can produce moral dilemmas for nurses and how to manage this.   You can earn free NCPD contact hours after listening to this episode and completing the evaluation linked below.   Music Credit: “Fireflies and Stardust” by Kevin MacLeod  Licensed under Creative Commons by Attribution 3.0  Earn 1.0 contact hours of nursing continuing professional development (NCPD), which may be applied to the nursing practice and oncology nursing practice ILNA categories, by listening to the full recording and completing an evaluation at myoutcomes.ons.org by January 5, 2026.

So, that's a situation where there's one right and clearly a wrong answer. And usually, the wrong thing is about doing something that benefits you.” TS 2:50  “An ethical dilemma is a situation in which you are compelled to make a choice between two or more actions—I say two or more; it's very rarely just two—that will affect the well-being of someone else, usually. So, the actions that you're considering can be reasonably justified, both of them, as being good or bad. Neither action is obviously good or obviously bad, and maybe the goodness of the action is uncertain. So, sometimes people will say choices between two equally good choices, and sometimes people say between equally bad choices. But the fact is you have to pick one.” TS 4:13  “Even stories with happy endings sometimes have a really bumpy road on the way to that happy ending. Some people also think of this as what's called a 'vicarious secondary trauma.' ‘I was there. I walked through this patient's journey, and I know the patient was traumatized by it, but so was I.' You know, sometimes people will experience compassion fatigue when they feel unable to help someone overcome the barriers that are keeping them from getting better.” TS 6:18  “Meet your social worker. Be as nice as possible as you can to them. They, like you, are not paid enough for what they do. Know and become familiar with resources that are available in the community. The American Cancer Society, for example, has a wealth of resources for cancer patients, including rides to clinic appointments. Knowing how to tap into them is really, really important.” TS 14:52  “Fourteen states ban abortion outright. Just think about that. It is not uncommon, and I know your nurses know this, for cancer to be diagnosed during pregnancy. And there are women who are faced with the decision of initiating chemo or terminating a pregnancy or initiating chemo and risking the teratogenic effects of the chemo. Most physicians would really struggle with that. So, they have to choose, literally choose between themselves and a fetus. In some states, the laws are quite clear. People who assist individuals getting termination of pregnancy can be criminally prosecuted. That's a big deal, and it weighs pretty heavily on folks.” TS 21:09  “Many people do not realize that Planned Parenthood, as a resource, the bulk of their work is screening. It's screening and contraception and other things which, you know, think about vaccination to prevent viruses that we know can lead to cervical cancer. And when those organizations are forced to close, that limits access, and that means, usually, you will see an increased incidence of cancers that could have been prevented or detected earlier.” TS 23:57  “I do know people who are making choices with their feet. Those who are able to, they're moving and leaving states, and the data is clear about that. States that have significant restrictions on abortion are seeing an exodus of healthcare providers. So, it is a really complicated issue. It's going to be a difficult time until it works itself out. Hopefully it will work itself out. I think there will be a clear distinction between states that have access and states that don't.” TS 24:44  “All of your patients are at risk for financial ruin. Insurance companies change their enrollment practices. People whose spouses who carry them on their insurance lose their jobs. Everybody's at risk. The best thing you can do is to acknowledge it upfront and figure out how you're going to cope with the inequities that exist in our healthcare system. It's not a pretty answer, and it's not an easy answer for me to say out loud.” TS 27:29  “There are things to not do. So, there are times when you care for a patient, and you form a special bond, and the patient hits some hard times. Please don't give them money. I know you're tempted, and I know it seems really easy—like a cup of coffee, that's not a big deal. Now, this is where frequently, from a professional ethics standpoint, people ask me like, ‘What's a boundary crossing? What's a violation?' Like when people are in trouble is when nurses are most vulnerable because they're the most compassionate people I know. And they really, really, really want to help.” TS 32:24  “You need to be able, as a bedside nurse, to say, ‘Hey, have you reached out to our financial office? Have you reached out to this? Have you done this? And oh, I know it's really hard for you to ask, but we have a program for families who have this sort of circumstances. I really encourage you to apply.' I think that's the other thing about this is we still are in a society where it's shameful to not have money. I wish we could fix that one, but we can't. So, you know, the best thing nurses can do, really, is to help normalize the experience of not having enough resources to get what you deserve.” TS 34:26  “I will say for nurses who have a deep philosophical opposition to medical aid in dying, if one of your patients asks you about it, the most graceful thing you can say is, if you're in a state where it's legal, ‘I would encourage you to talk to your doctor about that. And going forward, I may not be a nurse who can take care of you in that circumstance.' You don't have to say why. You just have to say it may not be possible. If you're opposed to it and a patient approaches you about it, the thing not to say is, ‘You know, that's morally wrong.' If you struggle with it, then it's your opportunity to connect the patient with someone who can talk to them about it.” TS 37:44  “The data on systemic racism in health care is overwhelming, and it makes me sad every time I look at it. I don't work with people who I know would intentionally not provide good care to someone because they were of a different color or had a different financial background. And yet, the data is really clear. So, that means we all have to get a big, fat mirror and look at it, and it's painful.” TS 44:55 

GLP-1 Agonists and HIV: Do Weight-Loss Drugs Make Sense for Your Patients?     Three GLP-1 agonist drugs (which originally had been confined to diabetes treatment) are currently FDA approved specifically for weight loss. The rapid uptake of these medications in the U.S. has naturally led to questions within the HIV clinical community about their safety and efficacy in people living with HIV, whose journeys with weight gain and weight loss overlap with the general population but also may differ significantly in a few key ways.     Joining us on the podcast this month to provide some answers is one of the most prominent clinician researchers exploring this topic today: Grace McComsey, M.D., a professor of pediatrics and medicine at Case Western Reserve University, as well as the vice president of research and the associate chief scientific officer at the University Hospitals Health System in Cleveland, Ohio.     Read the transcript: https://www.thebodypro.com/article/future-hiv-care-glp-1-agonists-semaglutide     Credits: Our executive producer is Myles Helfand; our project manager is Alina Mogollon-Volk; our audio producers/engineers are Alex Portaluppi and Lucy Mueller; and our series editors are Maria Elena Perez and Juan Michael Porter II.

(00:49) Office Talk: Optical and Staff Slip-up (18:28) Closing Thought: Staffing - A vs. B vs. C Players (26:17) In this week's episode we are talking about giving your patients the ultimate experience in your practice. Are you treating each patient like they are your only chance to get the word out about you? Why not? It makes complete sense when you think about it. There's really no great reason to not be giving each patient that sits in our chair the ultimate experience and turn them into a devoted fanatic of you and your practice. (00:49) In this week's Office Talk, we had a slip up in optical that has just had me fuming. To put it simply, it was the antithesis of how we train our staff to present and take care of our patients. Let me know how you would have handled it.

The episode focuses on increasing dopamine, a neurotransmitter involved in focus, motivation, reward, pleasure, and happiness. Nurse Doza recommends taking vitamin B9, particularly the methylated form called 5MTHF, to support dopamine production. He explains that many people are deficient in B9 and warns against using the inferior form called folic acid. The host also mentions his personal experience with methylation difficulties and the importance of methylation for dopamine production.   TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 START 02:30 Increasing dopamine. 03:42 Vitamin B9 and dopamine production. 07:21 Vitamin B9 and focus. 11:17 Boost for natural energy. 15:28 Increasing healthy dopamine. 18:49 The role of SAMe in depression. 21:33 Increase dopamine for productivity. 25:12 Supporting the COMT Gene. 27:38 Supporting genetics and mental health.   --- Today's podcast episode is sponsored by BLISS, the newest tart lemon flavored sublingual supplement in the wellness market.

Get ready to take notes!  Tip 1: B9 Vitamin Intake^1,2^ Vitamin B9 plays a crucial role in the synthesis of serotonin and dopamine, the neurotransmitters that regulate mood^1^. It's associated with psychiatric symptoms, and its neuroprotective benefits are lost when patients lack a specific genetic enzyme, which converts folate/folic acid to its most usable form, L-methylfolate. This allows for the synthesis of the three major neurochemicals-serotonin, nor-epinephrine, and dopamine-across the blood-brain barrier^2^.  Studies:  1.

Here in Wisconsin, we had one of the worst air quality index levels ever this past week. Smoke from Canada's wildfires hung in the air, creating a thick haze. The smoke didn't bother me, but I assumed that some people would be extra sensitive to it. As the day progressed, I started thinking of ways people might protect themselves from the effects of wildfire air pollution, including the use of supplements or essential oils and other simple choices. I also wondered, of course, how much of the hysteria about the air quality index was created by simply having an "Air Quality Index" to look at. It would be like having an app that notifies you of each crime as it happens in Minneapolis. Nobody would want to go there. We don't watch any mainstream media or local news, but I can imagine it was one of the top stories in the news cycle, creating unnecessary fear. While Canada's wildfires might be at record levels, it isn't the first time in history that people have breathed in polluted air. But we've been conditioned to fear a lot more about everyday life in recent years. It's possible our adoption of a "safety culture" has made us more likely to freak out from a day of smoky air, whereas in the past we'd carry on with life without giving it much thought. Whichever the case, there are some things you can do to keep your lungs healthy in the midst of higher levels of smoke. Use this as a guide when facing a similar circumstance as we were this past week, and remember that I'm referring to occasional exposure to poor air quality from wildfire smoke far away. I'm not referring to how to approach things if you're right next to the fire. Wildfire Air Pollution and PM2.5 A raging wildfire, fueled by dry conditions and strong winds, sends billowing plumes of smoke into the atmosphere. This smoke isn't just a nuisance; it's a complex mixture of gases and fine particles that can have a significant impact on air quality, both locally and hundreds, even thousands, of miles away.Liu JC, Pereira G, Uhl SA, Bravo MA, Bell ML. A systematic review of the physical health impacts from non-occupational exposure to wildfire smoke. Environ Res. 2015;136:120-132. The primary concern regarding wildfire smoke is something known as PM2.5. This term refers to particulate matter that measures less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter. For context, that's approximately 3% the diameter of a human hair."Particulate Matter (PM2.5) Trends". U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. 2023. Their minuscule size allows these particles to stay aloft for long periods, infiltrating urban and rural areas alike. You might wonder, "These particles are tiny. How much harm can they really do?" Don't let their size fool you. PM2.5 particles are so small they can bypass the body's natural defenses, infiltrating the deepest parts of your lungs and even entering your bloodstream.Pope CA 3rd, Bhatnagar A, McCracken JP, Abplanalp W, Conklin DJ, O'Toole T. Exposure to Fine Particulate Air Pollution Is Associated With Endothelial Injury and Systemic Inflammation. Circ Res. 2016;119(11):1204-1214. This can trigger a cascade of health issues, particularly affecting the respiratory and cardiovascular systems.Reid CE, Brauer M, Johnston FH, Jerrett M, Balmes JR, Elliott CT. Critical Review of Health Impacts of Wildfire Smoke Exposure. Environ Health Perspect. 2016;124(9):1334-1343. How PM2.5 Impacts Your Lungs Wildfire smoke, rich in these PM2.5 particles, is particularly problematic for people with pre-existing respiratory conditions such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). But even healthy people aren't immune to its effects. Exposure can lead to symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest pain."Wildfire Smoke and Your Patients' Health". U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. 2023. For people with asthma, exposure to PM2.5 particles from wildfire smoke can trigger asthma attacks,

Knowing that I'm not going through this alone.” -Vanessa Naum   We're excited to welcome back Physician Marriage Coaches, Dr. George (Dr. Jeep) and Vanessa Naum.    In this episode, Vanessa discusses her experience dealing with Fibromyalgia and how being married to a physician has impacted her journey living with a chronic illness. Dr. Jeep and Vanessa give advice on how to best help a partner or loved one dealing with a chronic illness and the importance of understanding and compassion.  You don't want to miss this inspiring episode!   According to a report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published in 2018, approximately 60% of adults in the United States have at least one chronic condition, such as heart disease, diabetes, or cancer.    Furthermore, a survey conducted by the National Alliance for Caregiving and AARP Public Policy Institute found that about one in three adults in the United States, or 34.2 million people, have provided unpaid care to an adult aged 50 or older in the past 12 months. Of these caregivers, 60% reported providing care for someone with a chronic illness.   It's worth noting that these statistics are from studies conducted before the COVID-19 pandemic, which may have had an impact on the prevalence of chronic illnesses and caregiving in the United States.   According to a study published in The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) in 2020, 16.5% of physicians in the United States reported having a chronic illness and 14.2% reported providing care for an adult family member with a chronic illness.    The study also found that female physicians were more likely than male physicians to have a chronic illness or care for someone with a chronic illness. Additionally, physicians who reported having a chronic illness were more likely to work part-time or reduce their clinical workload than those without a chronic illness.    It's worth noting that the characteristics and experiences of physicians with chronic illnesses may vary based on the type of illness, severity of symptoms, and other factors. _   We hope you check out these two previous episodes with Dr. Jeep and Vanessa Naum:   145: Why Physician Marriages Have Challenges with Dr. Jeep and Vanessa Naum   186: Becoming a Doctor, the Struggle Is Real with Dr. Jeep & Vanessa Naum   Episode mentioned in the podcast on chronic pain: 180: The Paradigm Shift To Cure Chronic Pain for You and Your Patients with Dr. Howard Schubiner   The Naum's Gift To You: Go to their website at www.BestFriendsAgain.com and scroll down to receive a FREE copy of the chapter: Love Letter Method with Your Spouse, from Dr. Jeep's book, “What's Forever For?

And when we set them up to grow properly, it's going to affect the airway. And we all have heard the stories from Jeff Rouse — and airway seems to be the sexy topic nowadays — and the effects it can have on not only development of kids, but as we get older, there's more diabetes and heart disease.” (5:55—6:37)“I read an article not too long ago that the highest incident of airway-disordered sleep is from about three to eight years old.

Podcast 221 Ask David December 21, 2020 Today’s Ask David features five challenging questions submitted by listeners like you! Sumaya asks: I recently bought Feeling Great and can’t find the chapters on Habits and Addictions in the book. Could you please clarify? Jay asks: Can you provide more specific information on the contrasts between Feeling Good, The Feeling Good Handbook, and Feeling Great? Rizwan asks: How would you use the Five Secrets to respond to a truly irate patient? Casey asks: How do you treat resistant autism patients with All-or-Nothing Thinking? Debby asks: What’s your definition of a violent person? Today’s podcast begins with season greetings for people of all (or no) religious faiths. Rhonda reads a moving email submitted by a listener who was helped by the recent two-part Sunny series on the Approval Addiction. David gives a plug for his upcoming workshop with Dr. Jill Levitt on “Defeating the Beliefs that Defeat You and Your Patients” on February 28. 2021 (include link.) We also give a shout for Sunny’s recently opened private practice, which offers super rapid treatment and a user-friendly fee schedule. Sunny can be reached at: Sunny Choi, LCSW sunny@bettermoodtherapy.com Better Mood Therapy rhonda's exciting new Feeling Great Treatment Center is now open for business as well. She can be reached at rhonda@feelinggreattherapycenter.com. And now—your cool questions! * * * Sumaya asks: I recently bought Feeling Great and can’t find the chapters on Habits and Addictions in the book. Could you please clarify? David explains that the two “lost” chapters on habits and addictions are available for free on the homepage of www.feelinggood.com. I had to cut about ten chapters from Feeling Great due to length, but put them on the homepage since the techniques for treating habits and addictions are new, innovative and powerful, and may help some folks. * * * Jay asks: Can you provide more specific information on the contrasts between Feeling Good, The Feeling Good Handbook, and Feeling Great? Dr Burns Is it possible for you and Rhonda to do a podcast about Feeling Great book and Feeling Good and Feeling Good Handbook? I sat down to hear the similarities and differences and target audiences etc. Very in depth etc but podcast 213 seemed to me to get derailed into the four ego deaths of the therapist and the four ego deaths of the patient. I am not minimizing the value of discussing Ego deaths. But it seems like you never really addressed the similarities and differences in the three books. One thing I have not heard you discuss is that powerful section in Feeling Good on preventing setbacks. Love addiction etc. Addressing the core beliefs that trigger recurrent depression in some people. Also the expectations of doing a two-hour session vs doing the daily mood log for 15-20 minutes per day over a few months ( in the Self Esteem section of Feeling Good.) I thank you Sincerely Jay Thanks, I DO meander! Both a curse and a blessing, as my mind works like that, with new ideas popping in all the time. First, here are the differences between the three books: Feeling Good is a beautiful presentation of the basics of cognitive therapy, including how to crush distorted thoughts and modify self-defeating beliefs like the Achievement, Love, and Approval Addictions, as well as Perfectionism and Perceived Perfectionism. The books focuses on depression, including suicidal urges. This book was published in 1980 and has sold more than 4 million copies worldwide. It has received a number of awards and has been named the top depression self-help book, from a list of 1,000 books, by American and Canadian mental health professionals. The Feeing Good Handbook has more exercises and a broader range of topics, including depression, anxiety, and relationship problems, as well as a special section for therapists on how to help challenging, difficult patients. This book was published in 1988 and has sold roughly two million copies. Feeling Great was published in September of 2020. It updates all the tools and techniques in the prior two books, but also includes powerful new techniques to overcome therapeutic resistance. It also includes a section on more spiritual (but still practical) techniques, including the four “Great Deaths” of the self. Feeling Great has a special section on how to crush each of the ten cognitive distortions, plus many real case examples with links to the actual therapy that you can hear online in my Feeling Good Podcasts. This is important because some readers may not believe that people with chronic and severe depression and anxiety can recover more or less completely in a single, two-hour therapy session. Toward the end there of Feeling Great there is a special chapter by the famed neuroscientist, Professor Mark Noble from the University of Rochester, on how TEAM quickly modifies specific circuits in the brain to achieve ultra-rapid recovery. The stance of the therapist has changed significantly in Feeling Great, as compared with the earlier books. Instead of trying to “help,” the therapist becomes the voice of the patient’s subconscious resistance, and makes the patients aware that their symptoms of depression and anxiety are not the result of what’s wrong with them, like a “chemical imbalance in the brain,” or a “mental disorder” described in the DSM, but rather what’s right with them. And the moment the patient suddenly “sees” this, recovery ill be just a stone’s throw away. Feeling Great was based on 40 years of research on how psychotherapy actually works and more than 40,000 hours of therapy with depressed and anxious individuals, including many with severe and chronic problems. TEAM is not a new school of therapy, but a structure for how all therapy works. * * * Rizwan asks: How would you use the Five Secrets to respond to a truly irate patient? Dear David I suggest one imaginary statement from an irate patient: “Your therapy is not working. In last one year I paid you $1500. And I am nowhere near completing the therapy successfully with you. I am broke. I can’t pay you anymore. I need to quit. How you could you do such a thing to me?” How would a therapist reply to this using 5 secrets? Rizwan David and Rhonda emphasize the importance of session by session testing so this unfortunate situation does not develop, and role play how to respond effectively using the Five Secrets. The importance of the Disarming Technique is highlighted, and training methods are illustrated, along with the philosophy of "learning through failure" or "joyous failure." * * * Casey asks: How do you treat resistant autism patients with All-or-Nothing Thinking? I am a behavior support specialist working with people with Autism, all across the spectrum of the diagnosis, as well as with people with intellectual disabilities, cerebral palsy and down syndrome. Not to be confused with an ABA therapist, I am more of a traditional therapist who uses eclectic strategies and methods to help the people I support. I also work mainly with adults because, sadly, the system often forgets them and they do not have as many services as children. Because I work on helping people change their behavior, it is a logical conclusion that I have to help them work to change their thoughts first. Thankfully my graduate school program was very CBT focused (Go IU School of Social Work!). Since then I have found your podcasts and books immeasurably helpful in enhancing my practice and use the methods you teach whenever possible. When working with people with Autism I often run into All or Nothing thinking, catastrophizing, and unfortunately a lot of treatment resistance because most of the people I support are “Involuntary” clients who have been sent to therapy by their family members. I have two questions: First, what is the most powerful method for defeating All-or-Nothing Thinking? Second: I know you talk a lot about agenda setting to combat treatment resistance. How do you balance the wishes of the parents (or guardians) vs. the willingness on the part of the patient to change? I struggle with this daily and could use some advice. Thank you and Rhonda so much for the amazing podcast, the books, and the wealth of information about TEAM-CBT. I have also attended several of your trainings and plan to attend more this year because our annual conference was cancelled, so I’m left to get 10 CEUs on my own and your trainings have been very helpful in fulfilling this need! Also, Rhonda: You are amazing and I hope you know it! Casey P.S. I also promoted you a lot on my Instagram channel @passionplanhappiness when I did a series on unhelpful thinking styles. I couldn’t find an Instagram page for the podcast so I just mentioned it by name. Do you have an Instagram channel? Hi Casey, Thanks, I can include this in an Ask David, and you might also want to try out one of the introductory 12 week TEAM classes sponsored by FGI, feelinggoodinstitute.com, as a lot of practice is usually needed to grasp and implement techniques and ideas that might seem simple. I do not ever treat people against their will, who are involuntary. This is not treatment in my opinion, and is rarely or never effective. However, I would offer to treat the parents if they wanted help with parenting skills for the child. Also, you might want to check out the podcast on the best techniques to treat AON! Use search function on my website. All the best, david David D. Burns, M.D. David and Rhonda talk about techniques to combat All-or-Nothing Thinking as well as how to set the agenda and sit with open hands with patients who are in therapy involuntarily. * * * Debby asks: What’s your definition of a violent person? Hi Doctor Burns, I have a question on what you consider a” violent person” to be. For example, If someone feels like punching someone out, doesn’t does that make them a violent person just for feeling it? I would say no because they never acted on it. Debby Hi Debby, You may be trying to define something that does not exist. Violent urges exist in varying degrees at varying times in all human beings. Violent thoughts, feelings, urges and actions exist. But a “violent person” does not exist. My thinking only, and many will undoubtedly “violently” disagree, and not even comprehend, perhaps, what I am saying. Humans have a dark side, and the extent is on a bell-shaped curve. The denial of the dark side is arguably worse than the dark side, since violence is generally carried out in the guise of some religious principle, or some kind of “truth.” david Hope you enjoyed today's podcast! Rhonda and David

Dr. Evan Allen, a physician board-certified by the American Board of Obesity Medicine and the author of Oversaturated: A Guide to Conversations about Fats with Your Patients joins me to discuss the importance of eating a diet low in saturated plant and animal fats to significantly lower the risk of heart disease and strokes. We also discuss the importance of understanding how cholesterol, LDL, and HDL affect your health.  Dr. Evan Allen has been practicing medicine for a quarter century, and in that time, he’s opened two practices in Henderson, Nevada, and received board-certification from the American Board of Obesity Medicine. When Dr. Allen began to pay more attention to nutrition, the health of his patients improved. This discovery sent him on a search for a book like this one–a search that came up empty. With this book, Dr. Allen wants to give healthcare providers what he never had: a guide for talking to their patients about a healthy diet that’s low in saturated fat. Get Dr. Allen's book here

A Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) is Good for Business A PIA is part of a regular business process if you collect, use, or disclose personal health information in your healthcare practice. When you have a previous PIA that has been prepared, submitted to the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner (OIPC) and it has been accepted for use--well, that is not the end of your PIA journey. You need to ensure that you are updating and amending your PIA as your practice matures and as you make administrative and technical changes to the procedures in your practice. Join Jean L. Eaton, Your Practical Privacy Coach and Your Practice Management Mentor and host of this podcast to discover the common triggers that require you to consider if it is time for you to do a PIA amendment.

If you're a fee-for-service practice — as most of our clients are — then your instinct may be to recoil when you learn about the topic of our latest podcast: How to Maximize the Benefits of Your Patients' Insurance. Believe us when we say that you'll want to hear us out! In this episode, Tanya Evers from the Medical Dental Financial Corporation explains how even FFS practices can use the medical aspect of dentistry to bill insurance companies even if they're not in network. What Your Patients Need One of the first questions a patient will ask is “Do you take my insurance?” When you tell them no, they automatically assume that they can't afford treatment and walk, leaving you with less money in your coffers. They lose out on the high-calibre treatment you provide and you lose out on money and a potential patient-for-life. Make It a Win-Win For most people, price matters — especially when they're faced with involved procedures such as dental implants, bone grafts, and sleep apnea treatments. In this episode, you'll learn how billing medical insurance companies can help you collect your regular fees and your patients can afford the out-of-pocket expenses. Everybody wins! And there's no need for your practice to be insurance-driven, either. You can increase your revenue by capitalizing on the fact that many dental procedures are, in fact, medically necessary. If you're not into growing your practice, helping more people, and making more money, then don't listen to our latest episode. If you want to find a way to utilize insurance without making it a primary focus, then you won't want to miss a single minute.

If you are a healthcare provider or clinic manager and are not sure if you need a Privacy Impact Assessment . . . then this 30 minute webinar / podcast is for you! If you are a custodian--including physicians, optometrists, dentists, chiropractors, nurse practitioners, podiatrists, and more!--as defined by Alberta's Health Information Act, then you probably need a PIA. Jean L. Eaton, Your Practical Privacy Coach, will explain what a PIA is, why you need it, and how to start planning to prepare a PIA. A PIA is an important tool that you can use to help you with that project management. It will help you anticipate risks to the project before it starts and avoid serious problems, wasted time and money. The PIA process requires you to have written policies and procedures so that you can implement the project effectively and train your staff consistently. Sometimes, after you have completed a foundational PIA for your practice, you want to add a new tool, move or add a new clinic location, or change the way that you collect, use, or disclose health information.  This may trigger a PIA amendment where you can build onto your original PIA submission. Sometimes a PIA is a requirement of legislation. But it is always a best practice whenever you implement a project that includes personal health information.

BUT most healthcare practices don’t know this and often don’t know that a PIA is usually part of their professional college requirements and often even a legislated requirement! Prevent malicious errors, omissions or attacks that could result in fines and even jail time for the business, healthcare provider, employee, or vendor by completing a PIA. You need a Privacy Impact Assessment when: - You are opening a new clinic or establishing a new health services program You are changing administrative procedures or technology equipment, services, or vendors You are changing how you collect and use personal information  You are implementing or changing an Electronic Medical Records (EMR) You are sharing health information with another healthcare provider, organization, Primary Care Network or other health program You have a Privacy Impact Assessment that was written more than 2 years ago? (It is time to review and update this!) Doing a Privacy Impact Assessment for your practice is easy – once you figure it out. I have helped hundreds of clients complete their Privacy Impact Assessment and visited hundreds of practices across Alberta. I’ve figured it out . . . so you don’t have to! Now I’m going to share with you what you need to know to plan your PIA. Brought to you by Jean L.
