THIS IS WHAT I’M SAYING

Join me and Dr. Yaver for what is a lively discussion that was recorded just two days after the insurrection at our nation’s Capitol. We discuss public policy, politics, public health and the point where they all intersect. Dr. Yaver is also “fun fact” a stand up comedian in her free time and is an all-around fascinating woman to listen to. Join us!

Ashley and I have a conversation about her Tweet thread that went viral and landed her on MSNBC to talk about the Covid ICU and a very special patient she connected with who didn’t believe Covid-19 was all that serious. Ashley has also served our country in the military and I loved our conversation.

Lively and sobering conversation with Nick and Taylor about medical misinformation, how to talk with patients during a time of wide spread politically charged pseudoscience and in some cases campaigns to combat the truth. They share their experiences and FACTS about Covid. We debunk some of the conspiracies you hear and more!

Fascinating and lively discussion with this dynamic, smart and savvy communications pro from Hewlett-Packard Enterprise. Jennifer and I discuss the importance of communicating in a crisis, her management of comms during Covid for employees and external stakeholders and her leadership roles and how she takes them seriously from a place of vulnerability and empathy.

Fantastic discussion with Jennifer about the importance of strategic communications, media relations, employee communications, product marketing-and so much more. We discuss misinformation and how easily it is spread, how to create calm during times of great chaos, and how she led communications internally and externally for HPE during the first Covid-19 shutdown. She is a best in class comms pro and has also worked with Hill & Knowlton, Wells Fargo and The Irvine Company.

Interesting conversation with Dr. Freedman about medicine, medical misinformation and frustrations overcoming misinformation in social media and with patients, his discipline of neurology and some possibly good news on that horizon, and his life as a pro-vaccine advocate and why he chose to be outspoken about the importance of vaccinating your family!

Fascinating discussion with Dr. Marino about medical toxicology and what that means in terms of patients he diagnoses and treats, his frustration with misunderstandings and misinformation about drug addiction and his ongoing fight with the hashtag #WTFentanyl and as he indicates on his Twitter, he’s frequently in a state of just WTF. This discussion really shines a light on the truth about drugs and his advocacy for patients with harm reduction measures to save lives.

What an interesting discussion! Dr. Fernando discusses her newly-published piece on PPE and how she believes recommendations for safety need to change. She reflects on being Canadian and watching what’s happening in the United States politically. You can find her published articles and blog on maryfernando.squarespace.com

Dr. Nick Sawyer and I discuss Covid-19 and the United States hitting a record number of cases. We cover the misinformation coming from the White House and the new danger of Covid and the flu season hitting this winter.
