Transforming Health Care: An interview with Cameron Sabet
Dr. Wilner would love your feedback! Click here to send a text! Thanks!Many thanks to Cameron Sabet, a second-year medical student at Georgetown University, Washington, DC. Cameron has a deep and insightful view into healthcare as evidenced by his early efforts as an EMT, articles in Time Magazine, The Washington Post, The Daily Mail, multiple peer-reviewed medical publications, and his work with Venture Capital.  Cameron’s busy studying for his final exams, but I stole him away for this fascinating 25-minute interview.  During our discussion, Cameron discussed his background as an EMT and how it gave him real-life insight into some of the mundane but fundamental challenges of health care delivery.  Cameron articulated how journalism is a powerful medium for influencing individuals and public policy. He also illustrated how financial incentives influence healthcare delivery. He also observed that spiritual sensitivities of different ethnic and religious populations must be addressed in order to improve quality of care and bolster faith in the health care system. Cameron suggested that telehealth is one solution to bringing healthcare to the population. He also shared a formidable reframing of the work/life balance dilemma. To learn more or contact Cameron, check out his website: www.cameronsabet.comPlease click "Fanmail" and share your feedback!If you enjoy an episode, please share with friends and colleagues.

Dr. Wilner would love your feedback! Click here to send a text! Thanks!Many thanks to former Congressman Robert Andrews, a graduate of Cornell Law School, an original author of The Affordable Care Act, and CEO of the Health Transformation Alliance (HTA). Rob is here today to speak about the fundamental importance of an effective health care system to every individual and some of the ways the US healthcare system can be improved.  During our 40-minute discussion, we discussed the complex landscape of healthcare in the US that tends to separate physicians and other providers from their patients. Rob estimated that 30% of the money spent in our healthcare system goes to people who are not directly involved in patient care, and “that’s too much.”During our interview, Rob described how the HTA lowers overhead and improves outcomes by focusing on education, prevention and removing barriers to prescription and provider access.Please click "Fanmail" and share your feedback!If you enjoy an episode, please share with friends and colleagues.

She is devoted to helping people with autism minimize their limitations, discover their niche, and become happy and productive members of society. Her story is so unique that a movie about her life, “Temple Grandin,” was released in 2010. Temple describes her challenges growing up with autism, the unwavering support from her mother and aunt, and how she channeled her love of animals into a successful career. She discusses the importance of early intervention for speech delay, learning turn-taking and other life skills, and the possibility of making friends through shared interests like horseback riding, music, and model rocketry. During our 30-minute conversation, Temple offers advice for parents of autistic children and some tricks to minimize sensory overload. She also stresses the importance of searching for hidden medical problems such as acid reflux, toothaches, or urinary tract infections that may go undiagnosed and account for worsening behavior. For more information, check out the website: www.TempleGrandin.com @templegrandin #autism #autistic #cattlePlease click "Fanmail" and share your feedback!If you enjoy an episode, please share with friends and colleagues.

"All That Really Matters": an interview with author David Weill, MD
Dr. Wilner would love your feedback! Click here to send a text! Thanks!Many thanks to David Weill, MD, former Director of the Center for Advanced Lung Diseases and the Lung and Heart-Lung Transplant Program at Stanford University Medical Center. Dr. Weill is the author of the new novel “All That Really Matters” and the memoir “Exhale”. He’s working on a 3rd book to be published next year. I read “All That Really Matters” and couldn’t put it down. Although I am not a transplant surgeon like the protagonist, we definitely shared some similar experiences during our training and early careers. The novel leads us through the complex world of organ transplants, with the author as an expert guide. Even those without a medical background will have no difficulty following the plot and may perhaps identify with a character or two. Dr. Weill told me that the novel was a vehicle that allowed him explore the moral and ethical issues involved in human organ transplant. During our 30-minute discussion, Dr. Weill filled me in on his 20 years of life-saving organ transplant work. Although immensely gratifying, this 24/7 activity wreaked havoc on his work/life balance. Finally, Dr. Weill left his position as Director of the Transplant Program at Stanford to become Principal of the Weill Consulting Group, which focuses on improving the delivery of pulmonary, ICU, and transplant care. This transition allowed him to move back to his hometown of New Orleans, continue to help improve the transplant system, and provided an opportunity for him to write. During our interview, we also discussed the practicalities and rewards of writing fiction, his long-term goals, and how he gets the writing done. It was indeed a pleasure interviewing David Weill!

Dr. Wilner would love your feedback! Click here to send a text! Thanks!Many thanks to Renee Fleming, Grammy Award Winner, recipient of the National Medal of Arts, and renowned soprano who has brought the experience of classical music to millions of fans. In 2023, the World Health Organization appointed her as Goodwill Ambassador for Arts and Health. Renee is also the editor of a new book: "Music and Mind: Harnessing the Arts for Health and Wellness." During our 20-minute discussion, Renee discusses her upbringing in a musical household. Her parents were high school voice teachers, and it was natural for her to sing and learn to play a musical instrument. As time passed, she became more passionate about learning to sing. Other than music, she stated that her only other career choice was to become the First Lady President of the United States! But it wasn't until her late 20s that she discovered she had a "beautiful" voice. When she had somatic pain that impaired her singing, she discovered that scientists were studying music and the brain. After a discussion with Frances Collins of the National Institutes of Health, she curated the book, "Music and Mind: Harnessing the Arts for Health and Wellness." Renee has become a cheerleader for the scientific study of music and the concept that "the arts should be embedded in healthcare." Renee Fleming also wrote another book, "The Inner Voice," about learning to sing. It guides young singers and their families through the process of becoming a professional singer. You can purchase "Music and Mind" or "The Inner Voice" on Amazon.  More about Renee Fleming at her website:https://reneefleming.com Renee's performance schedule is Please click "Fanmail" and share your feedback!If you enjoy an episode, please share with friends and colleagues.
