Flip The Script: Teaser

Max's guest is Dr. Carolyn Roberts, an assistant professor of history of science and medicine at Yale University. Max and Carolyn discuss the role physicians had in the British transatlantic slave trade, from the coast of Africa to the Americas, as well as the burgeoning of the pharmaceutical industry then; and what lessons we can learn from this history in order to continue improving the nature of medicine and its role in the lives of historically marginalized populations.

To Heal and To Harm

Max meets up with Dr. Akshay Pendyal, a cardiologist & fellow in the national clinician scholars program at Yale, and they discuss his recent piece in KevinMD, calling physicians to action about using their power to address structural racism. They take a closer look at a particular issue impacted by structural racism: housing insecurity, and this creates for patients with heart failure when seeking relief.

Let's Get Active

Max talks with Dr. Helena Hansen, a psychiatrist and anthropologist at NYU, about opioids and other addictive substances: drug marketing, federal and state policies, overdose epidemics, public reaction and the racialization of it all, having led to the creation of a 2-tiered system when it comes to addiction interventions, primarily on the basis of race. They take a deeper dive into elements of harm reduction, and the barriers some patients in her clinical practice face due to race and class.

Opioids in Black and White

Max meets up with Dr. Benjamin Oldfield, a primary care physician at Yale. They talk about harm reduction: the concept, current efforts, barriers and patient engagement strategies, as we face the current drug epidemic, and work towards improving our health systems' effectiveness.

More Harm Reduction, Please.

Max is joined by Harriet Washington, journalist, ethicist and author of the award-winning book "Medical Apartheid: The Dark History of Medical Experimentation on Black Americans from Colonial Times to the Present" for a discussion of the book's legacy 12 years after its publishing, and her insights on unequal medical treatment on the basis of race, and the current landscape of medical research and drug discovery.

One of the most important aspects of athletic performance is something we all do for a third of our lives, but until recently, had rarely been discussed. In the first of this two-part episode, Dr. Krys
Bigosinski and Dr. Cindy Chang converse about the role of sleep in sports medicine. They cover topics including the role of sleep in sports performance, the challenges of travel for the elite athlete,
the impact of a busy schedule on sleep for collegiate athletes, and the role of sleep in concussion care.
 
Dr. Chang is currently a Clinical Professor in the Departments of Orthopaedics and Family & Community Medicine at UCSF. Prior to this, she has served as president of AMSSM, was the head team physician for UC-Berkeley, and has published many papers and textbook chapters in sports medicine, including co-authoring a chapter titled The Role of Sleep in the Psychological Well Being of
Athletes in the book Mental Health in the Athlete: Modern Perspectives and Novel Challenges For The Sports Medicine Provider. She was also active in writing the section on the effect of sleep on
mental health in the upcoming AMSSM position statement on Psychological Issues in Athletes.
