Anxiety in Late Life and Serious Illness: A Podcast with Alex Gamble and Brianna Williamson 56:18

1d ago56:18

56:18

“Anxiety is a lot like a toddler. It never stops talking, tells you you’re wrong about everything, and wakes you up at 3 a.m.” I’m not sure who wrote this quote, but it feels right to me. We’ve all had anxiety, and probably all recognize that anxiety can be a force of action or growth but can also spiral to quickly take over our lives and our sleep…

Urinary Incontinence Revisited: George Kuchel & Alison Huang 45:06

8d ago45:06

I have to start with the song. On our last podcast about urinary incontinence the song request was, “Let it go.” This time around several suggestions were raised. Eric suggested, “Even Flow,” by Pearl Jam. Someone else suggested, “Under Pressure,” but we’ve done it already. We settled on, “Oops…I did it again,” by Britney Spears. In some ways the s…

The landscape of options for treating people with kidney failure is shifting. It used to be that the “only” robust option in the US was dialysis.

How Pharma Invents Diseases: A Podcast with Adriane Fugh-Berman 47:03

1M ago47:03

47:03

Who gets to decide on what it means to have a disease? I posed this question a while back in reference to Alzheimer's disease. I’ll save you from reading the article, but the main headline is that corporations are very much the “who” in who gets to define the nature of disease. They do this either through the invention of disease states or, more of…

Eric asks the question that is on many of our minds - is the future of AI more Skynet from Terminator, in which AI takes over the world and drives humanity to the brink of extinction, or Wall-E, in which a benevolent and empathetic AI restores our humanity? Our guest today is Bob Wachter, Chair of Medicine at UCSF and author of the Digital Doctor: …

3M ago51:34

51:34

Ambivalence is a tough concept when it comes to decision-making. On the one hand, when people have ambivalence but haven't explored why they are ambivalent, they are prone to bad, value-incongruent decisions. On the other hand, acknowledging and exploring ambivalence may lead to better, more ethical, and less biased decisions. On today's podcast, J…

One marker of the distance we’ve traveled in palliative care is the blossoming evidence base for the field.

Well, as a kick off to this ye…
