The lively pulse of Primary Care (with a PA spin) in an entertaining, monthly podcast.

Ever struggled with how to prescribe lancets, test strips, or insulin pen needles? Or wondered which syringe length or gauge to order? In this mind-blowingly practical, helpful segment, endocrinologist and clinician educator Dr. Rana Malek teaches Miz and Neda the basics of what to order for our diabetic patients, along with tips for injection techniques, common prescribing pitfalls to avoid, attention to insulin pricing, and the new continuous glucose monitor that primary care providers will be prescribing. This segment will change your practice.  

We all advocate for our patients on a regular basis, but how many of us have blown the whistle on a massive public health crisis? In this segment, Neda interviews Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha, the Flint, MI pediatrician who opened the world’s eyes to lead in the water that was poisoning Flint’s citizens. They talk about how to become a more effective patient advocate, and how to face situations that feel scary but ultimately benefit our patients.

How much do we really know about the pharmacologic treatment of alcohol use disorder? After this segment with Dr. Michael Baca-Atlas and our own Neda Frayha, the answer will be, a whole lot.

When a patient comes into your practice with blood pressures of 180/100 but they feel totally fine, what should you do? How much evaluation should they undergo? Should they be treated in the office? Or should they be referred to the ED? In this segment, Dr. Joseph Martinez chats with our own Mizuho Morrison and Matt DeLaney about the outpatient management of severe asymptomatic hypertension.
