Lunch and Learn with Dr. Berry

In this episode of Real Physician Reacts let's talk about the recent mass shooting that occurred at Highland Park in Illinois by Robert Crimo III and the continued Public Health crisis that gun violence has become here in this country.

In a country where gun violence continues to be on the rise, especially since the pandemic began with more than 45,000 Americans dying by a gun in 2020, a 15% increase over 2019, and over a 40% increase from 2010. Despite U.S. civilians owning more than double the number of firearms per resident as the next highest country, the United States can not seem to curtail this growing issue.

In this week's Lunch and Learn with Dr. Berry, we are joined by my lovely wife Maria Davis-Pierre, LMHC. Maria is the CEO and Founder of Autism in Black, Inc. Autism in Black® aims to bring awareness to Autism and reduce the stigma associated with the diagnosis in the Black community. As a licensed mental health therapist, Maria primarily works with Black parents to provide support through education and advocacy training.

Maria has been featured in Forbes, The New York Times, and USA Today, and has collaborated with Microsoft. Her unique approach to coaching and counseling exemplifies her drive and motivation toward greater acceptance and overcoming the barriers and personal struggles associated with raising a Black autistic child.

Today, we will be talking about the recently concluded Autism in Black Conference. Maria shares what she expected out of the conference and what she ended up receiving. We also had the chance to talk about some of the conference highlights and takeaways from different presenters. Furthermore, we will find out the date of the conference next year and Maria's plan with Autism in Black after the conference.

In this Episode 227, Maria and I will discuss:

This week's episode of Lunch and Learn with Dr. Berry comes fresh off the heat heels of the 2022 Autism in Black conference. I am giving a mini recap of the said event as well as briefly discussing the topic of black fathers raising autistic children. I had the amazing opportunity to give a closing keynote presentation on day 1 of the conference and I spoke about the importance of Black fathers in the lives of their Autistic children.

As a father of two Autistic children and husband of an Autistic spouse, I have had the unique experience to balance out the level of care and responsibilities required to do the job but I am aware that without great support, Black fathers are unlikely to succeed as a whole.

The following topics will be covered in today's episode 226:

• Recap of 2022 Autism in Black Conference
• Discussion on the importance of black fathers raising their autistic children
• Lack of research associated with black fathers and autistic children
• Importance of community & support for black fathers

In this week's Lunch and Learn with Dr. Berry podcast, we talk about COVID-19 and, more especially, an updated COVID-19 vaccine for kids. After several delays, extremely young children such as newborns, toddlers, and preschoolers are now eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. More specifically, the FDA has approved the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines for children between the ages of 6 months and 5 years. Parents all throughout the nation have been awaiting this decision because this is the last age group that has been left unprotected when the pandemic first began.

With over 5.7 million of the 13+ million reported instances of COVID-19 occurring this year alone, parents, caregivers, and medical professionals have been crying out for assistance, and it has now been granted.

Today, I'll cover a wide range of topics that will inform us. Here is a list of the main topics that will be discussed;

• FDA approval of Covid-19 vaccine for Kids
• COVID-19 update
• COVID-19 stats for kids
• Waiting on CDC approval
• Differences between Moderna & Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines

In this week's episode of Lunch and Learn with Dr. Berry, let's discuss breaking out of your comfort zone. After multiple conversations with family, friends, and even patients, I believe it is necessary to discuss the importance of stepping outside of your comfort zone, particularly as we approach the halfway point of the year.

So this was a combination of things and situations that I encountered over the last week, and I realized that I hadn't done a business/medicine/podcast in a minute, so I said, "Let's bring another one back." So today, we are going to talk about why the comfort zone is called the danger zone because it's become a problem for a lot of individuals, almost like quicksand.

Episode 223 will discuss the following:

-Looking back at the first half of the year -What is the comfort zone -Why it's hard to leave -How do we get out of the comfort zone

Join me in today's audio episode as we discuss what the comfort zone is, why I consider it a danger zone for many individuals, and why leaving it is so difficult.

Welcome to a bonus episode here on the Lunch and Learn with Berry Podcast.

Every week I go live on my youtube channel and when I have topics that I know my podcast audience needs to hear I am going to release the audio clips here on the podcast as well.

On this episode of Real Physician Reacts I am discussing the recent tulsa mass shoowing which resulted in two physicians, a receptionist and patient ended up murdered.

We are also going to talk about violence against health care workers. I would love to say that many of you should be surprised by the level of violence that health care workers endure but if you turned on the news at all during this pandemic you have seen what patients and even non patients will do against healthcare workers when they are trying to save them from a deadly viral disease.

In this episode of the Lunch and Learn Podcast, I'm back with another COVID-19 update as well as a discussion of a recent terrible breakthrough in the United States. One million deaths and counting unfortunately symbolize the number of deaths as a result of COVID-19 since the outbreak began. In less than three years, we achieved a milestone that would normally take two and a half decades if we were talking about influenza. Today, we'll discuss the most recent updated case rates from both the United States and other countries. We will tackle the latest recent statistics and provide vaccination numbers. More significantly, I will merely share my perspective as a hospital physician on what COVID-19 has done within the hospital and, sadly, what we should expect for the rest of the year. Sponsors

In this episode, I will be talking about a very important topic related to politics and medicine. With the recent disclosure of the Supreme Court draft, it is evident that Rowe V Wade is on the verge of being reversed, prompting a national wide response from both sides of the issue. Quite often many of my colleagues will tell me that they prefer to remain out of politics and any discussion surrounding politics so they can focus on medicine but with this impending decision, the discussion of politics and medicine are right at the front door. Physicians and healthcare practitioners, on the other hand, cannot be impartial when it comes to women's decisions. That is why one of the goals of today's podcast is to educate physicians and other healthcare professionals to advocate and stand up for their patients. Episode 219 will discuss and help you learn the following: -Rowe v Wade -Recent Supreme Court Draft Leak -The importance of Standing Up for your patients Tune in to today's audio episode, as I discuss the ramifications of overturning Rowe v Wade, as well as why "Physicians Need to Stand Up for Patient's Rights" Text LUNCHLEARNPOD to 44222 today or sign up at www.listentodrberry.com to join the mailing list.
