On this week's episode of Doc Talks, Doc Brian takes calls from you, our audience. 

You may recall our last episode with Robert Feuerstein. He has considered physician-assisted suicide however, it’s not legal in his state.    This episode caused quite a discussion. We wanted to hear your thoughts, so here they are!    To find Doc Brian:  Guest Line: 910-777-7239 DirectMe: https://direct.me/doc-brian Twitter: talksdoc IG: the_doc_brian  TikTok: the_doc_brian FB: doctalkswithdocb https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/doc-talks-with-dr-brian-sheppard/id1536345675 https://open.spotify.com/show/1qSaIZ2lsOKDtL4ueox7FY https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6prIruH_Izrrx-0MWqJm9w/ https://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=586625&refid=stpr https://www.deezer.com/show/1941482

On this weeks episode of Doc Talks, Doc Brian sits down with author Robert Feuerstein.    In his new book, “Living in My Afterlife: An invisible disability and health odyssey affecting millions” he recounts that after three months in a hospital, two years later, and all of the doctors' fruitless, "recommendations," a sixty-nine-year-old patient comes to the fateful, conclusion that they have a dehumanizing, incurable disease. The patient fears surviving his horror story with little relief, and the lack of an alternative would be cruel and unusual punishment. This story is not rare. But it's a horror story of protocol, mixed with the confusion of a competing and counterintuitive medical system. Meanwhile, millions suffer these almost mystifying ailments hiding under the "invisible disease" umbrellas of Neuropathy and Dysautonomia; their lives overshadowed with constant pain, discomfort, and more; with the magnitude of Autoimmune diseases to be the next "cancer." An expose of injustice and a powerful argument for universal as opposed to mercenarily profit-driven health care, where the patient is at the mercy of a cruelly expensive, discriminating - and inadequate - medical system. It's time to treat healthcare as a human right, including the right to die as well as live.   You don’t want to miss this intense episode!  National Suicide Prevention Hopeline: 1-800-273-8255

In this episode of Doc Talk's Doc Brian sits down with Kellie LaMonica and discusses mental health issues for children in the school systems and COVID. 

Some may feel that restrictions are too tight, while others think it's not strict enough. Whatever the case may be, we should protect our kids. Some have said that we protect them at all costs, but what if that "costs" their mental health and interpersonal relationship skills?
