#28: “Losing a Child” with Dr. Marcy Larson Jul 15, 2021

Show notes

Imagine that one moment you are going about your everyday life, the next instant you experience your child’s life vanishing in front of you. This is the story and journey of grief recovery from our dear guest Dr. Marcy Larson. She graciously shares her personal story, how it affected her ability to practice Medicine and how she created a podcast to help not only her personal healing but others as well.

The loss of a child is the biggest loss one can ever suffer. Openly discussing grief is something our culture is not very adept at. Knowing what to say to those who are mourning is difficult and often we say the wrong things to people, trying to be helpful in our ignorance.

This episode is for EVERYONE. Whether you personally have experienced loss, know someone who has, or are in the Medical profession counseling a patient. Grief and life loss is something we will all face in our lifetime.

Marcy Larson is a Pediatrician, wife and mother of four children. She is passionate about caring for children and families. After losing her son Andy, she was inspired to create a weekly podcast called “Losing a Child: Always Andy’s Mom”. The show offers healing and hope to bereaved parents and those who support them. It offers helpful advice and support to make the grief journey a little bit less difficult. Find her here at andysmom.com and on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

#27: ICD WHAT??? : “A Doctales with Cocktails Episode” Jul 08, 2021

Show notes

We know you’ve been waiting.. Yes, it's Doctales!

ICD codes are the bane of a doctor’s life. We languish in our pain with the most absurd ICD-10 codes we have heard of. If it has happened, it exists as a billing code: walked into lamp post, sucked into jet engine, attacked by orca, problem with the in-laws? Yes these make their way into the insurance companies hands to process the cause of your visit.

If you were injured at the opera house, ever had bizarre personal hygiene, had an accident with a land yacht… well it has been cataloged!

This episode has been LONG overdue! We have missed laughing on a doctales and it’s been so refreshing to let loose today. Grab a cocktail, or just laugh along on your commute. Either way, laughter is the best medicine!!

By the way, we are sipping on Ciroc! Iced Mango Ciroc with a splash of lemonade makes a great summer sipper. AAAAhhhh

Don’t forget to go hang out with our friend, Dr. Errin Weisman over at her podcast Doctor Me First on your favorite podcast app or learn more about how to connect with the queen of sass by heading to doctorpodcastnetwork.com/doctormefirst.

To vaccinate or not vaccinate, that’s the question when it comes to our children and Covid-19. While the controversy has been huge, we discuss the evidence and data on early Covid treatment in everyone and also infections, morbidity, and risk to kids from infections as well as vaccines. At the time of this interview, rates of myocarditis in healthy young adults are now being correlated with the vaccine.The CDC confirmed at least 226 confirmed cases of myocarditis, have been reported in people under 30 who got the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines.

#24: Drugs In my Pocket (and I don't’ know what to do with then) Jun 17, 2021

Show notes

This week we are talking about “drugs”, specifically the world of PBMs with Dr. Lee Strandberg. Pharmacy Benefit Managers(PBM) are the middlemen between your pharmacist and your prescription and your insurance company. Yep.. more middlemen.

If you have never heard of the term PBM, well you are not alone. Most people have no clue that they exist, how they work and how the cost or medications is controlled, negotiated or paid for. They are the one paying the pharmacist for your medication! While there are approximately 60 PBS, the 3 largest ones currently control 80% of the market.

We discuss both arms of the pharmacy world- how the pharmacy acquires the medications and purchases them. Hang on as we unravel the mysterious chain of events on how the pharmacy gets paid by the PBM and how they negotiate the prices with your insurance company.

We do get a little deep in the weeds on cost control and price negotiations, so pay attention. We only WISH that getting a Zpack could be as simple as buying a head of lettuce from your local farmers market.

Dr. Lee Strandberg is our guest this week who intimately knows the ins and outs of the complex layers of the pharmacy world. He is a Professor Emeritus, Pharmacy Economics and Public Health Oregon State University and was Director, Managed Care pharmacy for SHS Plans from 2005-2011. He was appointed by Oregon Governor Kitzhaber to the OR Health Policy Board, Medicare-Medicaid Integration of Care and Services work Group which wrote part of the CCO and reporting structure. He was a committee member on the OR Evidence Based Review of Prescription Drugs Preferred Drug List. During the past 40 years he has presented papers, seminars and consulted on the impact of pharmaceutical use on health care costs and quality. He has been a consultant to governmental agencies in Australia and Canada. He currently works as a Pharmacy Director for Kannact, Inc.Don’t forget to reach out to MR Insurance Consultants where their goal is to assist physicians in obtaining the most comprehensive coverage available to fit their unique situation.
