Reviews

4.3 out of 5 stars from 26 ratings
  • Un-listenable cacophony

    The host speaks too fast to be discernible and the guests call into the show on telephones that sound like they’re from the 1990s. How can you be interesting or intelligent if no one can hear or understand you??

    Don’t waste your time on this amateur hour.

  • Informative and inspirational

    Enjoy every one of your episodes with excellent format and content. The episode today with Dr Tom Bodenheimer of UCSF Center for Excellence on primary care was particularly interesting to me. Loved the way you were able to draw specific examples of excellence in primary care from Dr Bodenheimer. Specifics are so helpful in gaining a better understanding of best practices. Finished with a feeling of joy when Dr Bodenheimer told the story of the medical student’s first experience with a patient. A... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

‘Fur’ Our Health: New Pet-Human Bond Research
Q: What are the main distinctions among service, therapy, and emotional support animals, and why does that matter clinically?
Service animals perform work for a disability and have broad public access; therapy animals provide comfort in structured settings like hospitals; emotional support animals offer housing stability benefits but do not have the same work or access roles; understanding these helps ensure appropriate care, welfare, and policy considerations.
‘Fur’ Our Health: New Pet-Human Bond Research
Q: Tell us how you quantify the economic impact of pet ownership on the US health system.
We start with specific conditions where pets show measurable benefits, track the number of affected individuals, and model potential reductions in doctor visits and hospitalizations to arrive at substantial savings.
Red, White & You: Your Health & How America’s Founding Made It Better
Q: What lessons from this period are relevant to today's health policy discussions?
There is a consistent emphasis on public virtue and personal responsibility, the value of vaccination, and the importance of public communication and accessible health interventions in shaping national policy.
Red, White & You: Your Health & How America’s Founding Made It Better
Q: How did early American leaders approach inoculation and vaccination?
They used a combination of physician guidance, pamphlets, and public funding, with figures like Franklin promoting dissemination and Washington eventually mandating troop inoculation to prevent epidemic spread.
Red, White & You: Your Health & How America’s Founding Made It Better
Q: What drove the Founding Fathers to view health care as a public responsibility?
They saw health as tied to the nation's strength and survival, with leaders and educated citizens recognizing that a healthy populace underpins the republic and economic stability.
