Dr Jonas, your host, is excited to interview Lily White, MD about the start of her Direct Primary Care practice in the Cleveland area at Rocky River.  Empowered Health DPC opens in October, 2023  https://www.empoweredhealthdpc.com/ Lily decided early in her career to be a holistic physician.  She will explain how that happened and what path she followed to follow her dream into her first practice.  She will speak of medical school at Wright State and her Family Medicine Residency at the Cleveland Clinic, revealing some highs and lows as she explored the options available to Family Physicians who are just launching into post residency positions. She is a leader and an author.  We'll hear about those aspects of her training years.  And her life. Dr. Jonas also has a DPC practice- Neighborly Family Medicine in Beavercreek, OH.  It's been 50 years since he started medical school at Ohio State.  He's ready to wind down and get another holistic minded Family Physician to take over his practice.  He's interested in hearing about how Lily sees her future in DPC and comparing how a start up career differs from a winding down career. They worked together at Open Arms Health Clinic- a free clinic in Bellbrook, OH where Lily founded Paths to Wellness, a lifestyle counceling program with medical and psychology students at WSU. They have shared in planning and presenting the DPC Ohio Unsummit last February and are repeating for the 10th Unsummit February 17, 2024 in Dublin, Ohio.  Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-dr-synonymous-show--6530014/support.

The patient-physician relationship seems to be taking a hit during the pandemic.  Tension, uncertainty, mistrust, disrespect and more are happening during the pandemic.  What about informed consent? How do we know when patient and doctor are relating well enough to be safe and effective with their decisions?  How might each relate their certainty and uncertainty about information that should be and is shared?  How and when do they acknowledge and/ or clarify understandings and misunderstandings?  How might each one know when to withhold disruptive information (usually for later sharing) due to the  temporary or permanent vulnerability/suffering of the other person (which usually would abate, allowing the sharing of the withheld information)?   Physicianship is striving to be and becoming:      A professional who is competent and technically proficient      A member and citizen of  a respected profession      A leader of character who inspires, motivates and communicates           A servant of patients and society      A warrior for humanity, safety and teamworkBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-dr-synonymous-show--6530014/support.

Dr. Jonas, your host for the Dr. Synonymous Show will discuss the Longhaul Syndrome after COVID-19.  The FLCCC has produced a treatment protocol, working with Dr. Tina Peers, Dr Bruce Patterson, Dr. Mobeen Syed, Dr Paul Marik, Dr Pierre Kory, Dr. "Yo" and othersthat they call I-RECOVER to treat and manage Long COVID.  It may help many patients to have hope that there are more ways to deal with their symptoms. While most people who get COVID-19 recover fully, there are estimates that at least 10% of those affected, don't.  This protocol may be for them.

Dr. Jonas, your host for the Dr. Synonymous Show will discuss strategies that may enable patients to be better heard by their physicians.  Physicians seem to have less and less time to engage patients.  This may be detrimental to quality in healthcare.  How might we get around this?  Dr. Jonas will engage those present about ways to get their story heard.  This will include some information about how doctors think and make decisions.  We will talk about some common problems and at least one rare disease- Ehlers Danlos Syndrome.  The EDS patients get rejected a lot by physicians before they finally get a diagnosis.  How can we get beyond these rejections in this era of opiate abuse and dependency in which patients with pain struggle to get it treated adequately?  The EDS patients might be the poster children for this quandary between pain and opiates.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-dr-synonymous-show--6530014/support.

Sandra Miller, MD has created another medical adventure novel featuring Abigail Willmore, MD.  The second novel in this series (number 3 is almost complete) continues the story of Dr Willmore, who was successful at the Grand Canyon Clinic in Only Rock is Real, the inaugural book for Dr. Miller.  Read my post about the first book on my blog (including a link to the interview recording on the Dr. Synonymous Show). Now we find Abby (Dr. Willmore) agreeing to practice in the expanding Yellowstone National Park Clinic for the summer.  Dr Miller's vocabulary is up to the task of writing about the breathtaking scenery, from the heavens to the glaciers and volcanoes to the sunrises and sunsets to the tattoo of a snake, which she calls "Bitey", on the arm of the clinic nurse.  As a retired Family Physician and educator, her medical vocabulary adds to the sizzle when she describes human relationships, illness, bleeding, nausea, infection, immunizations, medical office processes, delusion, stalking, sexuality, professionalism and sexual assault.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-dr-synonymous-show--6530014/support.

Dr. Jonas, your host for The Dr. Synonymous Show interviews Sandra Miller on January 21, 2018 about her delightful novel, Only Rock is Real.  The novel deftly combines a geographically and medically accurate setting with astronomy and dynamic human relationships to deliver a message about the life of a woman physician.  Yes, gender matters - to all of us - and Dr. Miller knows it.  She develops her characters and connects them to other characters and situations then sprinkles in the Grand Canyon, The Grand Canyon Clinic on the South Rim and the heavens.  Wow!  I loved the book.  I do want to visit the Grand Canyon as a result of reading her perspective about life, love and medical practice on the South Rim.   Snakebites, gunshot wounds, brawls, dehydration, heart attacks, grief reactions, pneumonia, coccidiodomycosis and more medical conditions are daily fare for Dr. Abby Willmore and her clinical boss, Dr. Pepper.  Jake Peterson, park ranger, spices up her life, which is clouded with a history of panic attacks and alcohol abuse (maybe self-treating the panic?).   For Discussion: How did you decide to write novels?  Why this subject matter? What is your geology background?  How did it change with your experience in the South Rim?  How about the same with your astronomy background and interests?  The tension among and between the characters in your book and the environment seems to work well, at least for me as a reader.  How do you decide on the tension levels and situations?   How long does it take to write a novel?  How many do you have going at once?  Or are they sequential?  With your thousands of patient experiences, how do you decide which types will be included in the books?  What about one of a kind experiences- how do you mask them in your writing?

The book starts with a birth in the airport bathroom and moves from there to provide perspectives  on health needs and issues in Chechyna through well described characters.  General questioning will include these type questions:  How did you come to be a book author? Are you a reader, too? How often do you write?  What's your schedule? Why this book? Why these characters? How do you decide on the depth of character development for these people?  I was impressed by the developmental detail of characters, situation, themes, etc. How should global health be addressed?  By whom?

Dr. Richard Gates, Superintendent of Jefferson Township Local Schools is my special guest on this show.  Your Host for the Dr. Synonymous Show is Pat Jonas, MD, a 1964 graduate of Jefferson Twonship High School, in the country a few miles west of Dayton.  As a Jefferson Bronco for Life, he's excited about the prospect of getting the school replaced to catch up to modern educational standards.  A unique feature of the new school will be an area in which alumni can archive, protect and reflect on the history and legacy of "The Bronco Nation" back to 1836 when Jefferson Schools were established.  We may discuss these questions and more:  What is expected of school superintendents these days? What is different about educating children now?  What are Jefferson students like?  What about security of students these days?   Cybersecurity for the school system?  Why can't our building from 1966 get the job done?  Why have a school in Jefferon Township instead of just merging with Trotwood or Dayton?  What is different about Jefferson Township?  What is the advantage of having a small student population?  What does the new school cost?  Who pays?  How long will it last?  How does the campaign to get the Bond Issue passed work? (who does what?) How do alumni relate to a public school system?  What alumni connections might help Jefferson?    What do you do on election eve?  Day?  Next day? Thanks to Dr. Gates for his leadership and enthusiasm about Jefferson Township.  You can download and/or listen to this podcast 24/7/365 for the next two years on BlogTalkRadio or iTunes.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-dr-synonymous-show--6530014/support.
