Medicine has become more challenging. But the reason I ask you the question about compassion is: I can't imagine what physicians deal with on a daily basis, emotionally dealing with life or death issues, and I was curious if compassion sometimes could almost be a hindrance that a good physician has to remain objective.
Ever felt overwhelmed by the barrage of medical information and wondered what's true and what's just a myth? In this episode of 'American Medicine Today', hosts Kimberly Bermel and Dr. Alfred Bonati tackle some of the most pressing issues in the healthcare world, shedding light on both myths and breakthroughs. They are joined by Dr. David Hirschhauer, chief of pain management and anesthesiology at The Bonati Spine Institute, who opens up about his own experiences with invasive treatments.
He also emphasizes the critical role of conscious IV sedation during surgery and the benefits of epidural steroid injections for post-surgery discomfort. The conversation doesn't stop there. The hosts dive into the complexities of the Affordable Care Act and the maze of insurance companies, offering a candid look at the challenges patients face. Dr.
Brian Zernicki, chair of the department of breast oncology at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, joins the discussion to share exciting developments in breast cancer treatment, including the innovative use of vaccines to boost immunity. The episode also highlights the importance of sonograms for dense breast tissue, a crucial topic for early cancer detection. Throughout the show, there's a compelling conversation on compassion in medicine and what sets apart masterful doctors from merely competent ones.
This episode is packed with valuable insights and practical advice, making it a must-listen for anyone navigating the complex world of healthcare.
