In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Kelly Austin, Vice President of Hospital Workplace Violence at KLA Risk Consulting, to talk about the real, tangible ways healthcare leaders can reduce injuries and protect their teams.

If you’ve ever wondered how to truly involve your employees, what effective training actually looks like, or how to spot and de-escalate agitation before it turns violent, this is the episode for you.

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. Guests: Cadman L. Leggett, M.D., and Chamil C. Codipilly, M.D. Occasional heartburn from gastroesophageal reflux is usually nothing more than an occasional nuisance for most patients.  However, when the reflux becomes chronic, it can become more serious.  One complication is Barrett’s esophagus. On occasion, Barrett’s can develop into esophageal adenocarcinoma, an aggressive malignancy with a survival rate of only around 20% at 5 years.  Although usually seen in those with chronic acid reflux, Barrett’s can occasionally occur in those without any clinical evidence of acid reflux.  When should a patient with acid reflux receive an upper endoscopy?  What’s the significance of finding Barrett’s esophagus on an endoscopy?  How often does Barrett’s develop into esophageal cancer and does treatment prevent this from happening?  In this podcast, these are just some of the questions I’ll be asking our guests, Cadman L. Leggett, M.D., and Chamil C. Codipilly, M.D., both from the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at the Mayo Clinic as we discuss Barrett’s Esophagus.

In this Heartline Echo Episode, I revisit a powerful conversation with Drs. Maryanna Barrett and Maria Paasch, two innovative OB-GYNs who have transformed their practice by integrating functional medicine. Their journey from traditional obstetrics and gynecology to a more holistic approach offers valuable insights for healthcare professionals seeking to enhance patient care and rediscover their passion for medicine. Our discussion explores the essence of functional medicine, challenging the conventional "collection of body parts" approach to healthcare. We delve into how this integrative method looks at the body as an interconnected system, seeking root causes rather than merely treating symptoms. Key insights from our conversation include: The definition and principles of functional medicine How functional medicine complements conventional approaches The importance of addressing the mind-body connection in patient care Strategies for incorporating functional medicine into traditional medical practices Discover how to: Recognize and respond to signs of professional burnout Align your medical practice with your personal values Navigate career transitions in healthcare Cultivate a unique contribution to medicine that reflects your passions and strengths This episode offers a candid look at the challenges and rewards of charting a new course in medicine. Drs. Barrett and Paasch share their experiences of overcoming fears, redefining success, and finding greater fulfillment in their work. "Recognize that that feeling isn't because your schedule's too full, you've worked too many days in a row. That feeling is probably telling you that what you're doing is in conflict with your value." This conversation provides inspiration and practical advice for healthcare professionals who feel constrained by conventional systems or are searching for ways to better serve their patients. It's a call to action for physicians to reclaim their role as leaders in healthcare and pursue innovative approaches that align with their values. Join us for this thought-provoking discussion that challenges the status quo in medicine and offers a vision for a more integrated, patient-centered approach to healthcare.
