509: Celebrating the Gift of Life
This episode aired on April 3, 2011 and is now available as a free download on our iTunes page (http://deimos.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/Browse/wright.edu.2049885723.02049885733)!
Join the Radio Rounds crew as they discuss many aspects of the organ shortage here in the U.S. and worldwide.
Featured Guests:
Dr. William K. Rundell, Director of Transplant Surgery at Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton, Ohio and Clinical Professor of Surgery at the Wright State Univ. Boonshoft School of Medicine
Dr. John Donnelly, Asst. Professor of Family Medicine at the Wright State Univ. Boonshoft School of Medicine… and a pancreas transplant recipient
Dr. Alex Tabarrok, Professor of Economics at George Mason University and co-author of the economics blog Marginal Revolution.
Dr. Rundell engages the hosts as he discusses the increasing need for organ donations and the lack of donors to provide for those needs. Dr. Rundell is hopeful that education about this growing shortage will inspire “altruism” in our society and begin to bridge the gap between need and supply.
Dr. Donnelly received a pancreas transplant in 2004. As both a recipient and a healthcare provider, Dr. Donnelly was able to provide insight from two perspectives. Many aspects of organ transplant are now a part of his daily life, and he can attest to the incredible impact that it has had on his life — not only physically, but emotionally as well. In addition, his experience as a physician gives him an even greater appreciation for the gift of life that was given to him and empathy for those who have yet to receive that gift.
Dr. Tabarrok shares his economical perspective on the organ shortage. He claims that incentives play a major role in any supply and demand market and in a situation where incentives are deemed “unethical” economists are intrigued. Dr. Tabarrok discusses many aspects of the organ shortage, including the Black Market and his proposed ideas for solving the shortage.

In this episode, we investiage the application of a patient’s history and physical exam in the diagnosis of illness and the importance of using evidence-based medicine in practice.
Featured Guest: Dr. David Simel, faculty member in the Dept. of Internal Medicine at Duke University and Editor of the Rational Clinical Examination series published by JAMA Evidence — Learn more at JamaEvidence.com (http://jamaevidence.com/resource/523)

As editor for this series, Dr. Simel has expanded his knowledge in the realm of evidence-based medicine. Hosts Avash Kalra and Lakshman Swamy discuss with Dr. Simel how the history and physical exam can be invaluable diagnostic tools when used as such. They also discuss the importance of practicing the simple tests and understanding the science behind them. In this way, physicians can make definite decisions to better care for patients.
Dr. Simel also provides specific examples of situations where simple observations have prevented complications in his patients, emphasizing again the importance of basic physical signs that provide important information regarding the science behind symptoms.

511: Faith in Medicine — Healing the Whole Patient
This episode aired on April 17, 2011 and is now available as a free download on our iTunes page (http://deimos.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/Browse/wright.edu.2049885723.02049885733)!
In this episode, our team investigates the application of faith in medical practice.
Featured Guest: Dr. David Stevens, Chief Executive Officer of the Christian Medical & Dental Associations, (CMDA). In addition, as the former medical director for Samaritan’s Purse, Dr. Stevens led medical teams into war zones in both Somalia and Sudan.
Dr. Stevens has previously appeared on NBC’s Today Show, NBC Nightly News, BBC-World Television, CNN and National Public Radio. As a medical missionary, Dr. Stevens has witnessed the power of faith in medicine. He discusses the use of the psycho-physiological model of medicine in the United States in comparison to the religious model on which many other countries have based their medical practice.
Faith is seldom discussed in medical education, which presents an interesting problem. When patients ask their physician about faith-related issues, most have very little preparation for handling the situation unless faith is of central importance to them personally.
Hosts John Corker and Adam Deardorff — in addition to special guest Peter Hountras MS4 — lead the discussion with Dr. Stevens and delve into the roles of faith in both the patient’s and the physician’s life. Since mental well-being is of critical importance to the overall health of the patient, faith and spirituality often play important roles in medical treatment, particularly in end-of-life scenarios.
