MedspectivesThe Nefarious History of the Opioid Crisis and A New Drug Platform to Address It with Dr. Mike Presti, SafeRxI know it's been about a month since our last episode, but we're back with a super interesting talk about one of the biggest problems in medicine right now: the opioid crisis. Opioids, like hydrocodone and oxycodone, are used to treat patients with severe pain, whether it be post-surgery, cancer-related pain, and other similar instances. However, they trigger the release of endorphins, the brain's way of making you feel good, and this sensation can be highly addictive, leading to abuse of these drugs. Opioid abuse affects countless people across the world and costs the US hundreds of billions of...2021-10-1144 min

MedspectivesDiabetic Complications in Rural India, the Surgeon who Inspired me to Pursue Medicine, and the Importance of Mentorship with Dr. DheebanToday we're joined by Dr. Dheeban, a general surgeon in India. This conversation means a lot to me, as Dr. Dheeban is the physician who really sparked my passion for medicine. About 4 years ago, I shadowed him in his rural clinic in India for a couple of months. I watched him perform all kinds of different procedures including endoscopies, Cesarian sections, diabetic foot debridements, cyst removals, and even more. I was fascinated by the problem-solving aspect and uniqueness of each case and how each required its own strategy for treatment. I remember I was dead set on becoming a...2021-07-1945 min

During his time as a physician, he remembers seeing multiple inefficiencies in hospitals, primarily in sepsis. He describes sepsis through an interesting metaphor during our talk: think of a bull in a china shop. Now poke that bull with a stick, and watch the bull blow this tiny stimulus out of proportion and destroy everything in the China shop. Essentially that's what happens in the body - a compromised immune system enables even a small infection to...2021-07-0555 min

MedspectivesAccidentally saving 200 Million Lives, Being a Gladiator Physician, Saving Lives on the Battlefield, and Deadly Water Pumps with Tyler OwensToday, we're joined by my friend Tyler Owens and we decided to take it back to talk about healthcare professionals from history that have revolutionized the field in some way. I'm not a big history person, but in this conversation with Tyler, I realized just how crazy it is to understand how far we've come in medicine over 1000s of years. We go back in time all the way to the 1st century AD to look at Galen who provided a MASSIVE amount of knowledge into medicine. Apparently, Galen's procedure to treat cataracts is actually similar to how it...2021-04-2654 min

MedspectivesAnimal Euthanasia vs Physician Assisted Suicide, the Vastness of Veterinary Medicine, and Puppies with Dr. CarlingToday we're joined by Dr. Carling Matejka, a veterinarian in Canada. I want Medspectives to capture all facets of medicine and veterinary medicine is something that I knew nothing about before I talked to Dr. Carling. While in human medicine you just need to focus on humans, for veterinary medicine you need to be able to understand all kinds of different animals, from dogs to cows to snakes to tarantulas. While there are some similarities, there are also a good number of differences, and Dr. Carling discusses her experience from treating dogs in her clinic to treating cows out...2021-04-0548 min

Geriatrics is a field that is seeing unprecedented importance with the growing elderly population, however, the number of people that choose to pursue this field is not increasing even close to as much. Dr. Farhan explains how by 2030, there will be 1 million elderly people in Singapore, and as of now, there are only around 100 geriatricians in the country.

He discusses the concept of risk-and-benefit when it comes to treatment - and how physicians need to be able to make difficult decisions. While medication could present...2021-03-2348 min
MedspectivesHow to Get into Australian Med School, Gut Health, and FOAMed on TikTok? with Dr. Ray BoyapatiToday we're joined by Dr. Ray Boyapati, a gastroenterologist in Australia. As much as I wanted to dedicate this whole episode to asking him for medical advice for my terrible gut problems, I decided it wouldn't be in your best interests. Instead, we talked about how well Australia handled COVID, which, spoiler, actually wearing masks helped a lot! as well as how social media has become a major source of free medical knowledge for everyone, especially during the pandemic. Dr. Ray also advises premeds/medical students and shares priceless advice in the episode.
