  • VCD got me in and I'm staying

    I was searching for any podcasts discussing VCD as someone who has both severe VCD and Asthma. I regularly share my story of overcoming the odds and surviving severe episodes simultaneously of both and also being part of the clinical trials at Monash for both botox injections into the vocal cord and for dupilimab (eosinophilia) as well as having been on mepo and now benza until dupi comes into the market here. I was impressed with the discussion, and as a patient to hear that other view which of... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

ATS Breathe Easy - Why Advocating for Vaccines is Key to a Healthy Future
Q: What's the core issue behind the lawsuit and the stay on vaccine guideline revisions?
The core issue is a lack of transparency and data-driven processes in selecting experts and updating immunization recommendations, which the guests argue undermines trust in vaccines and public health guidance.
ATS Breathe Easy - The ATS AI Taskforce is Tackling Technological Questions
Q: What can attendees expect at the ATS International Conference regarding AI?
An AI Innovation Lab in the exhibit hall with hands-on demos, industry case uses, and two-hour workshops across education, research, and clinical medicine to explore AI applications and workflows.
ATS Breathe Easy - How Much Is A Life Worth? Ask the EPA, Part 2
Q: If you had to explain to a non‑expert why removing the calculation isn't just an accounting change but a public health threat, what would you say?
It would shift the framework away from a structured cost‑benefit analysis toward a more open‑ended policy path, risking unbalanced decisions that ignore the health benefits of reducing pollution and the real costs borne by communities who face health risks and economic disruption.
ATS Breathe Easy - How Much Is A Life Worth? Ask the EPA, Part 1
Q: But the EPA has now set that essentially at zero. So, can you walk us through what the value of a statistical life actually means and what is it, what is it not?
It's a monetary proxy used to express the economic impact of lives lost due to pollution, not an exact price on life, and it helps compare health benefits against regulatory costs in a structured way.
ATS Breathe Easy - How Losing Immigrant Doctors Could Derail Public Health in the U.S.
Q: What proactively are you doing to prepare for a shortage of telemedicine and other care delivery methods?
Adopting a multi-pronged approach: expanding outreach nationwide, using digital medicine and telemedicine, and leveraging allied health professionals like physician assistants and nurse practitioners to fill gaps, especially in rural care.
