  • EP014: THE FIRST 100 DAYS; POLITICAL HEALING PART 2

    Our system of democratic self-government is failing us. Most #Americans no longer feel represented by their elected officials. Money overpowers citizen voices. Trust in Congress is at an all-time low.  Americans appear to have voted in the 2020 presidential election at their highest rate in 120 years. More than 140 million voted in this presidential #election.  So it is evident that THE FIRST 100 Days of the #BidenHarris administration will set the tone for their presidency.

    This is a bipartisan discussion between physicians (Vishwala Kasbekar MD MPH, Kristen Scatliffe MD, Christopher Soussou MD, and Ikechukwu V. Mbonu, MD) who are not only colleagues but friends and co- alumni.  We have an honest no holds barred debate about the most pressing issues this administration must address early and how they should approach it. Utopia meets reality. red meets blue. We touch on many subjects including: #covid #economy #healthcare #womensrights #blacklivesmatter #immigration #DACA #pathwaytocitizenship #environment #parisaccord #decreaseemissions #cleanenergy #evictions #cdc #moratorium #vaccine #healthcare #trust #confidence #committment #security #foreignrelations #taxes #545children #jobsecurity #thefirst100days

    MDFEME says ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! We are outraged by the recent displays of systematic racism in America.  Our docs are tired, hurt, angry and frustrated with the recent police killings of George Floyd, Ahmad Arbery, Breonna Taylor and Tony McDade. In this episode we discuss how systematic and institutional racism effects healthcare.  We talk about the importance of unity and economics.  We discuss the pertinence of influential people  using their platforms to address this topic. We dissect the need for consistency within the movement in order to bring about change.  We also delve into how traditional medicine holds inherent racial bias and how many organizations are pushing for a more inclusive model.  (Disclaimer: we do not own the rights to the music used in this episode)
