This week we are talking about “drugs”, specifically the world of PBMs with Dr. Lee Strandberg. Pharmacy Benefit Managers(PBM)  are the middlemen between your pharmacist and your prescription and your insurance company. Yep.. more middlemen. If you have never heard of the term PBM, well you are not alone. Most people have no clue that they exist, how they work and how the cost or medications is controlled, negotiated or paid for. They are the one paying the pharmacist for your medication! While there are approximately 60 PBS, the 3 largest ones currently control 80% of the market. We discuss both arms of the  pharmacy world- how the pharmacy acquires the medications and purchases them. Hang on as we  unravel the mysterious chain of events on how the pharmacy gets paid by the PBM and how they negotiate the prices with your insurance company. We do get a little deep in the weeds on cost control and price negotiations, so pay attention. We only WISH that getting a Zpack  could be as simple as buying a head of lettuce from your local farmers market. Dr. Lee Strandberg is our guest this week who intimately knows the ins and outs of the complex layers of the pharmacy world. He is a Professor Emeritus, Pharmacy Economics and Public Health Oregon State University and was Director, Managed Care pharmacy for SHS Plans from 2005-2011. He was appointed by Oregon Governor Kitzhaber to the OR Health Policy Board, Medicare-Medicaid Integration of Care and Services work Group which wrote part of the CCO and reporting structure. He was a committee member on the OR Evidence Based Review of Prescription Drugs Preferred Drug List. During the past 40 years he has presented papers, seminars and consulted on the impact of pharmaceutical use on health care costs and quality. He has been a consultant to governmental agencies in Australia and Canada. He currently works as a Pharmacy Director for Kannact, Inc.Don’t forget to reach out to MR Insurance Consultants where their goal is to assist physicians in obtaining the most comprehensive coverage available to fit their unique situation.

What if you became the patient of the very thing you fought? Hear this amazing story from Dr. Reema Batra, our guest this week in our 3rd installment in our series of “The Doctor as Patient”. Dr. Batra is a Board Certified Medical Oncologist and Hematologist. Her story is not only ironic but provides a unique perspective, having recently been diagnosed and treated for early stage breast cancer. She graciously shares the events that led to fortunate early diagnosis, her unique ability to advocate for her own treatment plan and how she dealt with the  emotional struggles. Now having experienced what her patients face, she knows firsthand their uncertainties and fears. Literally walking  in their shoes has provided a shared bond and ability to offer unique support for them through their journey. More about Dr Batra: She has been practicing since 2007. Initially she worked in the academic setting at NYU focusing on cancer care and healthcare disparities. She led a project to start a Breast Care Center at Woodhull Medical Center in Brooklyn, NY. In 2012 she moved to San Diego and works with an underserved population. She has worked hard to maintain the NAPBC accreditation at her affiliated hospital, Sharp Grossmont Hospital. She stresses the treatment of the “patient as a whole” and believes that outside of the exam room is where the difference is made in a patient’s long term outcome. She is also a wife and mother and loves to run. Thanks to our sponsor this week is Panacea Financial. Don’t forget to reach out to them for physician or medical student loans.

Cheers to you if you are surviving the insanity wherever you live! The entire world is filled with the craziest rules, laws and regulations employed to “help” stop Covid-19. From forbidding sales of open toed shoes and short sleeve shirts  in South Africa to “banning pillows on your Brazilian...flight that is!  Canada has cracked down yet again with roadblocks and fines at  “Covid check points”. Other countries have employed tracking bracelets- que the Hunger Games music. The world is truly a crazy place. Soooooo….would you roll in cow dung or drink urine  if it meant you were protected from Covid? We are NOT kidding! Next we discuss the morality around vaccine incentives. You can get anything from free Krispy Kremes, free Uber rides, pot, handheld blenders, lottery tickets and ‘round the world plane tickets. State governments and Biden’s team are throwing carrots to the masses to reach their goal of 70% vaccination rates. Today we are drowning our disbelief with some tasty Peanut Butter Whiskey made by Skrewball Whiskey. Sipped over ice, this is a perfect aperitif that oozes with a nutty/caramel flavor. Plus we are toasting 29 years of wedded bliss. Thank you very much.

Hang on to your seats, this is a long one! This week is a continuation from our podcast last week with Dr. Peter McCullough regarding   Covid-19!  Last week  we discussed  evidence based treatments for Covid-19 , best practices to avoid hospitalizations and death plus what resources we have. This week is all about the vaccines, safety, adverse events and RISK!. Plus is there a bigger theme in all of this? It feels like we are fighting a war not against Covid, but against each other. With opposing sides in the public and medicine, to vaccinate or not to vaccinate;  who , what, when and why IS the question! We used to think asymptomatic spread was frequent and now we are learning otherwise. New evidence from published data available from tracking over  10 million people  in China shows there is a less than 1% spread  from asymptomatic people. The evidence seems to show we need to “Stop” testing asymptomatic well people! What we are doing in public health now seems wasteful, expensive. Why are we now still having to wear masks if we are vaccinated if it’s fully safe and effective as promoted? Next we look at extreme differences between the states handling the pandemic response from Michigan to Texas. Taking it further, look up north to the border to home and native land in Canada. The border is closed, Covid hotels are mandatory for noncitizens entering for ANY reason, with no regard to  their health, immunity  or current vaccination status. Draconian or Totalitarianism? You won’t believe it, but it’s TRUE!  Johns Hopkins published a booklet in 2017 referencing THE SPARS PROJECT. It was a “response” document and  plan to deal with the next pandemic , predicting even the exact genus and species that would hit the world in the near future. You can read how they had already mapped out how to handle, shut down and analyze a global crisis. Next we get into how the response to Covid-19 feels to be weaponized. Schools, businesses, churches, and countries shut down and often with massive fines for not adhering to authority. Is this really The GREAT RESET? We move on to discuss how the vaccine initially was promoted as a  “volunteer” basis to protect those at risk. Now we are seeing the implementation of  financial coercement, Universities mandating it, talk of vaccine passports, business threatening to fire employees who are unvaccinated. What!! While Dr. McCullough is pro- vaccine, he definitely believes that Covid-19 vaccination may not be appropriate for everybody. Covid survivors, potential childbearing women and pregnant women were ALL excluded from the trials, why would we expect them to blindly get the vaccine without any data? This is a risk too big to ask for many people and one that is naively endorsed by many. The CDC is very clear on their statement regarding who should get the vaccine : ask your doctor if the vaccine is right for you. They DON'T GET TO DECIDE! It is a discussion and decision between the physician and patient. No other vaccine( flu, pneumococcal, shingles, etc)  has been pushed this hard to the masses in the history of vaccines.  To date there are  3514 deaths associated with the vaccine: anaphylaxis , reactogenic deaths (from blood clots, high fevers, etc) and then thrombotic events that occur farther out in time. The numbers for vaccine related adverse events is over 40,000 per 100 million.  Something to consider: Is Johnson and Johnson the safest vaccine because it is only ONE vaccine? Finally: The proposition of vaccinating healthy low risk people to protect the population at large is fraught with moral implications. There WILL be college kids who die due to the rare event from vaccine induced causes .. from being  coerced into the vaccine because of pressure from the masses. How do we assess risk, benefit and sort through the data………….. What an honor to have this intelligent discussion and input from a world renowned and highly published physician.  Dr. McCullough is a practicing internist and cardiologist and Professor of Medicine at Texas A & M College of Medicine. He is board certified in internal medicine, cardiology, and clinical lipidology.  He also has a  Master of Public Health from University of Michigan School of Public Health. Dr. McCullough has broadly published on a range of topics in medicine with > 1000 publications and > 600 citations in the National Library of Medicine. His works have appeared in the New England Journal of Medicine, Journal of the American Medical Association, Lancet, British Medical Journal and other top-tier journals worldwide.  He is the editor-in-chief of Cardiorenal Medicine, Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, and senior associate editor of the American Journal of Cardiology.  He has appeared on news outlets and is passionate about spreading the word about treatment. He can be found sharing his opinion and advice on the C19 Google groups as well.  Thanks to this week's sponsor:  MR Insurance Consultants where their goal is to assist physicians in obtaining the most comprehensive coverage available to fit their unique situation.

This week is just the beginning of some AWESOME discussions around  Covid-19!  Get ready since we have an amazing guest and world renowned expert who is a leading expert on the subject of Covid-19 and  has the most citations in the National Library of Medicine.   Not only is he humble and gracious but very wise and  passionate about helping and treating our PATIENTS first!  Aside from being an expert, he TREATS Covid patients and  is also a Covid survivor.  Dr. McCullough is a practicing internist and cardiologist and Professor of Medicine at Texas A & M College of Medicine. He is board certified in internal medicine, cardiology, and clinical lipidology.  He also has a  Master of Public Health from University of Michigan School of Public Health. He cares for advanced patients with common medical problems including heart and kidney disease, lipid disorders, and diabetes. Dr. McCullough has broadly published on a range of topics in medicine with > 1000 publications and > 600 citations in the National Library of Medicine. His works have appeared in the New England Journal of Medicine, Journal of the American Medical Association, Lancet, British Medical Journal and other top-tier journals worldwide.  He is the editor-in-chief of Cardiorenal Medicine, Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, and senior associate editor of the American Journal of Cardiology. On November 19, 2020, Dr. McCullough testified in the US Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs concerning early ambulatory treatment of high-risk patients with COVID-19. He has appeared on news outlets and is passionate about spreading the word about treatment. Today we discuss evidence based treatments of Covid-19 , best practices to avoid hospitalizations and death plus  what resources we have.  He believes it is immoral, unethical and bordering on illegal to advise NO TREATMENT  of outpatients who have Covid-19. The focus has been on PPE, lockdown and isolation as well as treating only hospitalized patients. Forgotten are the patients caught in the middle. We can’t just be passive doing nothing to prevent hospitalizations! It is therapeutic nihilism! While the FDA is a regulatory body, NIH is a research organization and the CDC is a public health organization- none of these organizations give guidelines and put the onus on physicians to figure out how to treat their patients. Remember physicians, we work for the patient!

Today’s episode is the first in our series on “The Doctor as Patient”. So many times at work I have been shocked when patients find out I had the flu, had surgery or experienced a “real medical” problem. No we aren’t superheroes, and we DO share your pain.  When the doc becomes the patient, they often will experience the same struggles ,vulnerabilities and fears. This can be a very eye opening experience and impact how we see and treat our patients. This week we have the privilege to hear from Dr. Manisha Rayavarapu. She is a Family Medicine physician, diagnosed with Lupus during her 2nd year of residency training.  She describes how her faith along with her husband, have been the most important support on her journey. She shares her struggles with navigating the health system ,uncompassionate colleagues and administration, to family who may not understand how her illness affects her life. She has gone on to write a book on her experiences, struggles, fears and strength on coping with her ‘new normal’. Her memoir, “Butterflies, Boards and Blessings” is her way of helping educate and raise awareness about lupus.  She lives by her favorite quote : “life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it”!

Yippee it’s time for another Doctales with Cocktails! Cheers AND…..today we are diving into the beginning of our series on the “Doctor as Patient”.  We love to poke fun at ourselves, so we are sharing a few ‘memoirs” from our morbid past. Did you know Tim tried to be stoic beyond his common sense? Yep and he managed to land up with extended “staycation” at the hotel hospital, experiencing the pleasures of baseball and PCA pump full of morphine. We share our first childbirth experience. Come on who are we kidding- we all know it was actually MAY’s marathon experience!  Tim’s participation in the event was mostly a few minutes of “fun” and then having to split his brain between playing doctor or the dad card.  Best of all we are happy to dive into yet another flavor of our favorite Vodka- this week its 44 North Huckleberry Vodka.
