Many of the questions we answer here on Your Doctor Friends focus on a specific problem. What should I do if I am nauseous? Did I tear my meniscus? Do I have a kidney stone?  However, the "holy grail" in healthcare lies in the question, can I prevent a problem? Individually, we go to our annual physicals. We click on the headlines that suggest there is a "secret" or "one weird trick" we didn’t know that could make us feel better or live longer or perform better. We read nutrition labels, take vitamins and supplements, consult with nutritionists and personal trainers. Universally, we all want to live long, healthy lives.  Alas, healthcare does not often encourage prevention. Insurance generally doesn’t cover preventative services. Healthcare companies, by and large, don’t invest in preventative care. Similarly, diagnostic testing, the backbone of identifying risks, remains underfunded and under-researched.  Again, this all begs the question, can we actually prevent disease? Today Your Doctor Friends are tagging in their friends, Max Fitzgerald, MD and Dr. Danny Luger, MD! Drs. Max Fitzgerald and Danny Luger are physicians at Rush University Medical Center and direct the Center for Prevention of Cardiac Disease. Max is a Physiatrist (a specialist in musculoskeletal medicine and rehabilitation) and Danny is a Cardiologist. They are both exceptional clinicians, incredibly accomplished individually, and together they saw a hole in our medical system and Your Doctor Friends are super jacked to have them here on the show! This episode underscores the necessity of habitual changes, like movement/exercise adjustment and sleep regulation, for preventing diseases and their efforts in setting up a care model focusing on prevention at Rush. Drs. Fitzgerald and Luger also share the community collaborations they have initiated to enhance community wellbeing.

There are two kinds of people in the world, says Brent Vaughan — those who prefer to make incremental changes with a lower likelihood of failure, and those who aspire to fix (seemingly) intractable problems that have stymied others. Brent falls in the latter category. A serial entrepreneur, former venture capitalist, and current CEO of Cognito Therapeutics (a DTx company that specializes in neurodegenerative diseases), Brent is also uniquely positioned to evaluate the future of next generation digital therapeutics. Brent and Eugene talk about the differences between prescription and business-to-consumer DTx, the importance of engaging patients and users early on in the development of novel products, and the exciting potential of translational DTx solutions. Eugene’s podcast partner, Brian Dolan, also pops in with a question.

In today's episode, my focus is on a major issue affecting our earning potential: underselling ourselves. Despite our skills and accomplishments, many nurses struggle to express their true value due to fear of coming off as overconfident. It's crucial to distinguish between self-assuredness and arrogance while recognizing and communicating your expertise, achievements, and experience for professional growth.This habit of underselling creates a self-fulfilling prophecy, hindering our opportunities in nursing careers by dwelling on our perceived inadequacies. To combat this, we need to deeply explore our career narratives, understand our worth, and reshape our perceptions of our capabilities.The roots of this underselling behavior lie in deep-seated beliefs and past experiences. Not addressing these can stall professional growth and earning potential. Although not an easy fix, investing in recognizing your worth brings real changes in your career trajectory. By ending the underselling cycle and actively pursuing opportunities that match your value, you can unlock the income and opportunities you truly deserve. Let's remember that nurses' worth merits acknowledgment, paving the way for opportunities that reflect our actual value. Key takeaways:02:30 - Underselling Leads to Underearning04:55 - Self-Reflection and Overcoming Underselling15:58 - The Impact of Trauma on Nursing Careers19:17 - Shifting Mindsets for Career Advancement20:06 - Seeking Opportunities and Embracing Abundance21:20 - Recognizing Worth and Pursuing MoreWant to land your graduate nursing role with ease?Didn't land your grad?

If you’re still trying to wrap your head around the use of AI in healthcare, this episode will give you an idea about the use of generative AI to create clinical notes during an interaction between a doctor and a patient. Augmedix, a healthcare technology company that delivers ambient medical documentation and data solutions. Their clinician-controlled mobile app uses generative AI to instantaneously create a fully automated draft medical note after each patient visit. I spoke with Manny Krakaris - CEO of Augmedix, about the HOW. How is their data model built, what and what kind of technology do they use in their product? Manny also explains why they’re not covering revenue cycle management or RCM-related codes in their data structuring processes, and what are the biggest challenges in the industry at the moment.  The second part of this episode is unrelated to generative AI, and illustrates how existing medical data can be used to create risk prediction tools for medical care. You will hear from Nassib Chamoun, Founder and CEO of the Health Data Analytics Institute, an analytics company that is developing risk modeling methodology to ease clinical decision-making by assigning patients different risk scores based on their medical history. This enables clinicians to design follow-up protocols based on an individual's potential health deterioration. Both discussions were recorded at HLTH.
