The Podcast by KevinMD

"I've consistently found that most of the doctors who want coaching help feel like I did when I struggled with my weight: They weren't feeling like their lives were completely out of control or their problems were insurmountable. It wasn't like the TV trope, wherein a woman turns to food because she's alone and miserable and rejected by society—for the most part, the women who come to me for help losing weight aren't clinically depressed or struggling to function normally in their lives. But they are stressed. They are dealing with a regular array of real-life challenges. They're turning to food to suppress and neutralize their emotions. And many of them can point to specific causes of their weight struggle, or reasons they haven't yet been successful in reaching their goals." Katrina Ubell is a pediatrician and author of How to Lose Weight for the Last Time: Brain-Based Solutions for Permanent Weight Loss. She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, "Emotional eating: Why you always want food."

"For the better part of two decades in medicine, I considered printed journals an old friend. Getting my latest medical journal in the mail, opening it, enjoying the feel, look, and even the smell of the journal was almost like getting a monthly present. During training, Journal club was the substitute I needed for the Book of the Month clubs I could not attend with other friends. To this day, I still consider reading them time well spent. Yet, I cannot ignore their environmental impact in an era of alarming climate change. The plastic shrink wraps, commonly made from substances like polyvinyl chloride, polyolefin, polypropylene, and polyethylene, are not readily recyclable. The same is true for the glossy paper on which most journals are printed. Adding a glued-on advertisement to the cover does not help matters either." Cynthia Anderson is a radiation oncologist. She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, "The case for ending printed medical journals."

"You can talk about Ukraine and the courage of the Ukrainian people as you talk to colleagues and patients and as you talk to family and friends in your community. The U.S. may be divided now, but we can speak as one people in support of democracy in Ukraine.

"There is silence, then the words from the family flow forth. Angry, accusatory, confused, dismissive, worried, ugly, personal. The words cut deeply, and when I pick up the next chart, I feel as though I am still bleeding." Alexandra Seabury is a pediatrics resident. She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, "Let it go: A pediatrician reflects after a difficult conversation." This episode is sponsored by the Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience.

"The consequences of making miscarriage management unsafe will land most heavily on the marginalized and vulnerable. Our appalling maternal mortality rate in people of color will increase by miscarrying while Black. Our country and health care system are rigged to assume criminal intent and withhold lifesaving treatment from these mothers. The bedrock of my professional relationship with my patients is compassion and trust. I need to be a safe harbor where my patients can share their deepest fears, and I can respond with information and understanding. Motherhood and miscarriage already carry too much guilt. Our current legal quagmire now also makes them more dangerous." Kim M. Puterbaugh is an obstetrician-gynecologist.

"Neurodiverse individuals enhance our lives. Without neurodiverse people, we wouldn't have Ghostbusters (Dan Akroyd has Asperger's syndrome, which is on the autism spectrum), the theory of relativity (Einstein likely had dyslexia), or Microsoft (Bill Gates does have dyslexia).

"In the dark radiology reading rooms, only the gentle hum of the computers and the quiet chatter of residents dictating radiology reads break the silence. Among the computers sits Dr. Exner, a senior radiology resident at Hospital Woeisme.

"To create a healthier, more just, and more equitable world, we must confront the truth, and that requires an act of collective courage. Perhaps there needs to be a whole new consciousness that abandons ideas of reforms and instead labors a social transformation toward liberation. There cannot be effective solutions that expand globally in the public health sphere if there isn't an effort to shift the way we think about the kind of power that is needed to create a world worth living in."

"Premature babies (a.k.a. preemies) and their families are increasingly becoming a powerful voice in society. Life in and after the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is like being dropped off a cliff. I support the preemie community from pregnancy to NICU to home and into the adult years because I had a preemie. My daughter's story is a stunning example of a system gone wrong and why better outcomes research is key for these babies, their future and society as a whole."

"It's one of the hard things about anesthesiology. A window opens, you work like all get out, doing all sorts of things while the breeze blows in, then it's shut again. Sometimes, you see your patient once more; sometimes, if things go awry, you might see them multiple times. Or your colleagues step in to help out if you are not there. Or the critical care or perioperative anesthesiologist work their magic for awhile. But basically, you welcome the orneriness in, and then, after the bustle and harumphing, you miss it."

"Securing prior authorizations is a daily ordeal for most doctors' offices. Doctors report that, on average, they must get insurance company approvals 41 times every week. Of the authorization requests that are denied, fully 73% ultimately get reversed and approved, but the delays cause many patients to abandon treatment. More significantly, many contested prior authorization requests cause serious harm — even when they are ultimately approved. In surveys done by the American Medical Association, 24% of doctors report that delays in prior authorization have led to serious adverse events for their patients. And 16% report that such delays have led to hospitalization." Steve Cohen is an attorney.

"I think about my preeclampsia-specific and general knowledge gaps. I could not recall learning about postpartum preeclampsia in my prenatal classes. I wasn't given any written instructions on what symptoms to expect with my blood pressure returning to normal. My husband and I also would have benefitted from a pumping tutorial (side note: the lactation consultant said not to just power up to top suction) and a quick lesson on making formula bottles.

"Despite these high numbers, we cardiologists often look to genetic screening last in our diagnostic workup. But without genetic screening, we can't always see the whole picture in our cardiomyopathy patients. Once we've excluded coronary disease as an etiology, available diagnostic tools such as echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging provide great insight into the symptoms and consequences of these conditions but not the specific underlying causes. Epidemiology studies support this notion. For example, in 2011, one study found that more than half of previously unexplained cardiac deaths in young people resulted from genetically-linked arrhythmia, as determined through postmortem genetic testing. Thus, our ability to advise patients and their families, and in some cases, take preemptive measures such as defibrillator implantation, is limited."

"Lacking a supreme being in which to place our faith, my wife and I decided to make the most difficult decision of our lives and discontinue life support. I still wonder if we made the right decision, question whether fear made us give up too early, and these chronic doubts cut with the acuity of scalpels.

"Take the time to invest in yourself; it is the best investment you can make. Work to improve your communication, negotiation skills, and financial literacy skills. Think twice before accepting the first offer at face value; you owe it to yourself. Have a contract lawyer review your contract. A number of factors go into a contract, more so than salary.

Despite advances in diabetes care, hypoglycemia remains a common complication. Yes, new therapies are associated with less hypoglycemia risk, and patients are increasingly using continuous glucose monitoring, but episodes of hypoglycemia still occur. Some of these episodes are severe, and patients require assistance for recovery. To better support health care providers, Davida Kruger, APN-BC and Anne Peters, MD, in collaboration with the Academy for Continued Healthcare Learning (ACHL), developed a simple, systematic approach to quality improvement to ensure that patients are prepared to prevent, recognize, and manage hypoglycemia. The framework and tools are intended for easy access and application in any practice setting. Visit the tools and a CME quality improvement activity at preventhypotoolkit.org. This activity is supported by an educational grant from Lilly. This activity was sponsored by Purdue University College of Pharmacy in partnership with ACHL.

"Depression involves withdrawal, withdrawal from oneself and others. Feeling safe enough in a relationship to reveal our innermost feelings safely is connective and should be considered a valued part of the anti-depressant lifestyle. Continued relationship satisfaction is based on respectful openness and validation, the kind of communication that built love in the early days. To do otherwise is to risk a relationship with no real relating, and to miss out on a factor that may not only be part of the treatment for depression but a powerful deterrent."

"Just before the pandemic, I walked 96 miles (154.5 km) in seven days on the West Highland Way in Scotland, though I was hardly alone in this endeavor. About 250 people start the walk each day, including the amazing group of primary women that I walked with, indicative of both the attraction of the trail and the popularity of this form of physical activity. All types of people were walking. There were young people and old people, some fit and some not so obviously so. The walk was exhilarating and at the same time hard and very long. Much of the great feeling of satisfaction I had at the end of every day was the feeling of achievement at having physically and emotionally pushed my own limits." Paula Rochon is a geriatrician.

"ME/CFS is a complex multi-system illness that destroys lives (essentially killing the person yet leaving them alive). It leaves patients with unimaginable fatigue, post-exertional malaise (meaning that minor exertion makes them feel worse), cognitive deficits, cardiovascular dysfunction, gastrointestinal malfunctions, unrefreshing sleep, pain, and much more. As a person who has lived with ME/CFS for 13 years, I urge everyone to avoid getting it at all costs.

"The boundaries of unacceptable behavior have eroded in the past few years. Politicians, law enforcement, movie stars, health care providers, the health care system, and society, in general, are all acting badly occasionally. I'm amazed but no longer surprised every time it happens. Patients and family members behaving badly have captured headlines lately. I'm sad that in addition to Code Blue and Code Red, my hospital now has a Code Purple, indicating out-of-control parents.

"One thing is hard to ignore – nurses need better treatment. Nurses need a seat at the table and advocacy. Nurses need to raise their voices, listen to each other, and unify to achieve the progress that we need to improve our workplace safety, manage and prevent burnout, and promote patient safety.

"MRI studies of these patients determined that it was not only the circuitry that was affected by the burnout but also the size of the brain structures. Compared with the controls, patients suffering from burnout showed volume loss in the prefrontal cortex. Burnout patients appeared to also have shrinking in their dorsal striatum (caudate and putamen nuclei (areas that modify movement) and hippocampus (an area involved in emotion and memory), but an increased volume of tissue in the amygdalae.

"Health isn't about luck — it's about intentionality. But even if you're doing and saying all the right things, you might not be any closer to your goals. I know because I was there. As a heart surgeon, I was very good at following the rules. But I was still morbidly obese. I followed the food pyramid to a T. I exercised for the recommended amount of time each day. I thought I was doing everything right. And yet, my heart was at its breaking point. I knew there had to be something more.

"We cannot change societal norms, gender biases, childhood needs, the education system, or stop a pandemic. But, we can stop gaslighting 50% of the population. We can start acknowledging that the simple fact of gender does greatly affect patient and support staff expectations, time, power, compensation, and career trajectory. Women physicians have gained much ground, but this world and life are nowhere near a level playing field yet. When we all work together to allow our women physicians some flexibility in schedules, 10 to 20% more administrative time, transparent salary offerings, remote work options, extra "flex days" for children's medical appointments, on-site childcare, and considerate timing of "mandatory" meetings we can set us all up for success. These are radical proposals that are not "fair and equal," but they address the reality of unequal experiences. Maybe then we can stop the hemorrhaging of women physicians from health care. When we acknowledge and tweak current systems and structures to accommodate the 50% of medical students graduating, we are setting ourselves up for success."

"People developing anaphylaxis will not always have five extra minutes to spare. I do appreciate that auto-injectors are expensive, but it is not at all expensive to have an ampule or vial of epinephrine on board, which can be drawn up in five seconds. Those also come in a much friendlier concentration of 1 mg/1 mL. The chances of using epinephrine to treat a cardiac arrest patient are astronomically small compared to the chances of needing it to arrest an anaphylactic reaction, particularly if they continue to serve food containing nut products. Parents in the nut allergy community have advocated for these changes for years. And while the airlines have taken the important step of no longer serving packets of nuts on board, little else has been done to make air travel safer for the food-allergy community. I call upon the major airlines to revise their medical kits and to offer allergy-safe meals for those in need. It is such a simple measure, and you can quite literally save a life."

"The worry and anticipation of getting sued are heightened more than ever in the wake of the pandemic. It is in all physicians' minds. I recently did a quick poll in some of my physician groups on social media, and roughly 500 physicians responded to this question: Do we need medical malpractice reform? I only had one say no, and one said it would depend. Every other physician said yes. Now, this is a small group, but I believe asking this on a larger scale would get similar results – the majority would want this. We desperately need to change, but change takes time and debate.

"Gun violence, war, pandemic, natural disasters — listening to the news or doom scrolling on social media during times of tragedy can leave us feeling devastated, discouraged, and angry. Tragedy can also make us feel like helping. We're motivated to reach those affected and do something. Giving money can be a simple way to help. In the wake of a tragedy, many of us react fast and give to the first plea that comes across our Facebook feed. This is reactive giving, and while it's significant, reactive givers often feel like they didn't actually make a difference.There is another approach to giving that will leave you confident about your contribution.

"No matter how far we've come, women are still judged by fertility status but shouldn't be. If it's clinically pertinent to ask about reproductive health, then yes, absolutely ask … in a respectful way. That doesn't mean judging personal decisions or situations – it means asking pertinent questions and responding with an assessment of the need for support. Make appropriate referrals when that support is needed. Don't assume. Everyone has their own story." Gail Miller is a life and wellness coach and a maternal-fetal medicine physician. She is the founder, Path Onward Life Coaching, and can be reached on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram. She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, "If it's not clinically pertinent, then stay out of my uterus." Did you enjoy today's episode?

"Companies that embrace digital processes will reap the rewards, as shown by the Forrester survey taken in 2020 after the pandemic began. The survey found that digital document processes were helping organizations maintain their business resilience and even reap direct rewards of their digitization effort.

"In silico technologies also enable drug developers to perform, in theory, an unlimited number of tests using a wide range of variables that include age, sex, and the health status of each member of the virtual patient pool, compared to the more restrictive parameters of a traditional trial. By reducing the amount of trial and error involved in collecting data, drug developers can focus on therapies that prove to be more effective in treating a specific group of patients."

"While the world has spent the last two years laser-focused on the COVID pandemic, another public health threat is still lurking in the shadows: the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has been recognized since the early 1900s, yet rigorous research over the past decade has illuminated the magnitude of the threat and its implications for future infection control. More than 35 thousand patients die from antibacterial resistance every year, and antibiotic-resistant infections exceed 2.8 million annually, according to a CDC report released prior to the COVID pandemic." Anne Meneghetti is an internal medicine physician and health care executive.

"Every January, millions of people make New Year's resolutions. It's a joyous time full of high hopes. Ask people what they wish to achieve or hope to accomplish in the following year, and the answer will usually be something such as any of these: "I want to: lose weight; improve my finances; get a new job; exercise more; revamp a relationship; manage stress; stop smoking; set aside more time for myself." But according to U.S. News & World Report, the failure rate for New Year's resolutions is around 80%, and most people lose their resolve by mid-February. Why? Because when it comes time to take action, we hem and haw, deliberate and dither. We wait for the free time, the perfect day, the right season, a better mood, or optimal market conditions. Or we stall until we can resolve a medical crisis, smooth over a problem with the in-laws, or put some money in the bank." Nabil Fanous is a cosmetic surgeon and author of The Universal Rules of Life: 27 Secrets for Managing Time, Stress, and People.

"Nowadays, even scientific fact has been politicized. Even though many of us may wish to stay out of politics and stick to our "nobler" lane of medicine, the reality is even your clinical practice could be considered "picking a side." Do the right thing. If you're up for it, advocate for what is right too — for your patients, colleagues, yourself, your family, or this country. You are the face of the future, and your MD/DO/MBBS makes you more qualified to shape it than the many voices using their platform to broadcast untruths. If your program has a union, I highly encourage you to join it because your union will fight for fair working conditions, and strength lies in solidarity. The benefits you'll receive from joining a union will far exceed the cost of dues. If you're considering forming a union or becoming a union leader, that's even better. Regardless of your path, activism is becoming a part of medicine, and we cannot remain neutral. So keep learning, take care of yourself and each other, and work toward making the world a better place." Yuemei (Amy) Zhang is an anesthesiologist and can be reached on Twitter @yzhangmd1.

"With schools closed, children spent hours upon hours sitting in front of a screen for instruction and homework. Non-academic screen time increased as well, with parents needing to work from home and thus relying more on screens to occupy the children. Parents also were unable to police screen time as much as they had in the past. Much built-in physical activity of school was removed: from the simple act of walking between classes to recess to physical education to field trips. I have started wondering what would happen if we approach the obesity crisis like we approached the pandemic? By using the strategies that were used to "stop the spread," I believe we can reverse this trend of burgeoning childhood obesity rates." Teresa Fuller is a pediatrician. She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, "Reversing the impact of the pandemic on childhood obesity." Did you enjoy today's episode?
