[Because of Match Week and Spring Break, we didn’t record a new ep last week. Enjoy this rerun instead, and we’ll be back next week! –Dave]

Speaking up for your patients will have profound impacts

  • Short Coat Savannah’s previous work in mental health settings exposed her to situations where she had to report abuse. She left us a message at 347-SHORTCT asking us to talk about patient advocacy.
  • MD/PhD student Riley, PA1 Faith, M1 Jeff, and M3 Happy–along with some of our faculty–look at what doctors actually do to advocate for their patients in that situation, as well as other more common situations.
  • Plus, Jeff licks an elephant to right an old wrong.

Consciousness remains a final frontier of neuroscience and psychiatry…and even immunology

  • M2s Trent Gilbert, Olivia Jenks, PA1 Faith Anton, and M4 Sarah Costello discuss what it might mean that doctors recently discovered a group of patients, previously diagnosed with schizophrenia, who might actually have other treatable immunological disorders that present as psych disorders.
  • We also discuss a new world record kidney stone, medical refugees legislation and healthcare discrimination right here in the US, and an eating disorders chatbot that dispenses terrible advice to people with eating disorders.
  • And, Dave subjects his co-hosts to a pop news pop quiz.

  • We are fortunate to have a friends group of first-year students on the show to look back on their experience and reflect on what they discovered.
  • M1s Olivia and Katie, and PA1 Faith talked with Dave and admissions guru Rachel about how their lives have changed, what they realized about themselves, and their plan for incorporating those lessons into year 2.
