Dr. Cohen and Raya are on different coasts this week covering lots of things. Raya brings up some drama surrounding one of her favorite shows - Grey’s Anatomy. A writer for the long running series was subject to an internal investigation to determine if elements about her personal story like undergoing an abortion and chemotherapy, which are storylines she used in the series, were not accurate.

They also talk about the passing of actor Ray Liotta and remember some of his best work.

It’s Raya’s birthday! Raya discusses being born premature, Dr. Cohen talks about the preemies he’s seen in the NICU, then the discussion leads to surrogacy and how IVF is becoming more popular. Also...there’s that creepy Netflix Documentary about a fertility doctor called Our Father that has to be mentioned. Happy Birthday!

National Nurses Week begins each year on May 6th and ends on May 12th, Florence Nightingale’s birthday. Dr. Cohen and Raya speak with two very special nurses in their lives who share compelling stories from their nursing careers. They discuss why they love being a nurse, the perks of being a travel nurse and what their work experience was like when Covid-19 first started to fill hospital beds.

Thank you to all of the nurses out there, you truly are our heroes!

Raya asks Dr. Cohen all the Do’s and Don’ts when it comes to sun bathing, skin cancer, and how to prevent getting skin cancer.

Dr. Cohen and Raya started a new medical TV show, Good Sam on CBS staring Sophia Bush and Jason Isaacs. While they are intrigued to watch more, Dr. Cohen pointed out medical flaws and actions that would only happen in the scripted TV world and not at a real hospital.

Plus, Raya shares a new plant-based egg replacer called Just Egg and other health alternatives…very vegan friendly!

Dr. Cohen and Raya reminisce on finally meeting for the first time! Raya joined Dr. Cohen and his family for their passover Seder and the two finally got to meet in the flesh. Raya talks about Coachella weekend and although she didn’t go, why she isn’t feeling FOMO over it.

They also discuss the Ohio doctor accused of overdosing patients with fentanyl, their views on on the new no mask mandate for travel, getting a runners high and speaking to the afterlife!

Kim Gordon, Board Member and Advocate for The Unforgotten Families (TUF) joins the show! TUF is an advocacy organization created to be the voice, advocate and champion of medically fragile children and their families to provide solutions that improve overall quality of life in the home. TUF helps advocate for the Family CNA Program which allows family members to be trained, certified caregivers for their loved ones at no cost to the state or family members.

Dr. Cohen talks to Kim about her nursing career and starting out as a labor and delivery nurse, then (7:30 MINUTE MARK) they talk about TUF and why she chose to get involved.

Raya and Dr. Cohen speak about personal migraine struggles, then discuss Aphasia (the neurological condition afflicting Bruce Willis) and what can cause it.

They also debate the ‘bad nurse’ label that’s been given to a recently criminally prosecuted nurse for a fatal mistake she made. Dr. Cohen also gives his ‘movies on the plane’ reviews of Dear Evan Hansen and House of Gucci.

It really was the slap heard all across the world…Dr. Jason Cohen and Co-Host Raya O’Neal share their views on the dispute between Will Smith and Chris Rock. Then, they talk about Wendy Williams and Graves' Disease and Raya picks Dr. Cohen’s brain on some other Autoimmune Disorders from RA, to IBD, to Ulcerative Colitis.

And, with a new month ahead of them, the two touch on April being National Alcohol Awareness Month and Esophageal Cancer Awareness Month.

Mark Feuerstein is back! Dr. Cohen and Raya checked in with Actor Mark Feuerstein, and caught up on his post Royal Pains days and his latest projects. Mark and Dr. Cohen reminisce on their NYC days and share their Purim and St. Patricks Day memories. Raya tells Mark about the first time she met him in the Hamptons with JLO and Mark tells us why he was with her!

While Mark may have played a doctor; he reminds us he knows just as much as the average guy….but he does remember a thing or two about angioplasty. Plus, Dr. Cohen asks Mark to tell the story about the time he called him thinking he was his dentist, and so much more.
