Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D., [@chutkaMD]
Guests: Steven I. Robinson, M.B.B.S., and Brittany L. Siontis, M.D.
When you think of malignancies, sarcomas don’t usually come to mind. They are very uncommon and can occur in numerous locations. In addition, they can be very difficult to diagnose as the symptoms they produce are often very subtle. Approximately 15,000 cases of sarcoma are diagnosed each year in the U.S. and because July is Sarcoma Awareness Month, we’re going to do our part to raise awareness of sarcomas. My guests for this podcast include Steven I. Robinson, M.B.B.S. and Brittany L. Siontis, M.D., both from the Department of Oncology at the Mayo Clinic.

From Head to Toe: How to Perform a Skin Exam
Tuesday Jul 23, 2024
Tuesday Jul 23, 2024
Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D., [@chutkaMD]
Guest: Emma F. Johnson, M.D.
For both men and women, skin cancer is the most common malignancy and unlike colon, breast and lung cancer, skin cancers should be visible as they exist on the exterior of our bodies. Primary care providers need to be proficient in examining the skin of our patients and recognizing suspicious skin lesions. It’s just not possible to send all patients to a dermatologist for a skin exam. In this podcast, we’ll explore what questions we should ask our patients before we perform an exam of their skin, how we fit a skin exam into our busy schedules, and when a photograph of a skin lesion might be of benefit. Our guest for this podcast is Emma F. Johnson, M.D., a dermatologist from the Mayo Clinic.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Medicine: Part 2
Thursday Jul 11, 2024
Thursday Jul 11, 2024
Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. [@chutkaMD]
Guest: Jason D. Greenwood, M.D., M.S.
Artificial intelligence is currently one of the most commonly discussed topics, but how does it relate to the practice of medicine? According to a recent publication in the Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine, “AI has the potential to fundamentally change the way society thinks about medicine, the way medicine is practiced, and the way medicine is taught.” That’s a pretty all-encompassing statement regarding the effect AI will have on what we do. Is AI beneficial to us as clinicians? Are there challenges associated with it? What are its shortcomings? In this podcast, I’ll be asking my guest, Jason D. Greenwood, M.D., M.S., a family physician at the Mayo Clinic these questions and as we discuss Artificial Intelligence in Medicine in this two-part release on July 9 and July 11!

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. [@chutkaMD]
Guest: Newton B. Neidert, M.D.
Varicose veins are quite common and for most, they’re a minor nuisance. However, for some individuals, they have the potential to be much more than a cosmetic health problem. They can lead to a variety of symptoms including skin discoloration, discomfort, extremity swelling and occasionally skin ulceration. Fortunately, there have been numerous advances in the management of varicose veins and in this podcast, I’ll discuss these advances with interventional radiologist, Newton B. Neidert, M.D., from the Mayo Clinic. We’ll discuss who’s at risk for varicose veins, typical symptoms patients experience and the conservative as well as more invasive treatment options.

Healthcare of the Transgender Patient
Tuesday Jun 25, 2024
Tuesday Jun 25, 2024
Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. [@chutkaMD]
Guest: Natalie C. Erbs, M.D.
There is abundant research that indicates there are healthcare inequities experienced by transgender individuals. Transgender patients have the same basic health care needs as any patient. However, in addition, they might also have gender-related healthcare needs and concerns. It’s important for us to meet these healthcare needs, and this requires some special knowledge. The special needs of the transgender patient may be related to gender-affirming hormonal therapy or surgery, or it may relate to gender-specific preventive healthcare. This podcast will explore transgender health care. We’ll discuss the difficulties experienced by transgender patients, the specific healthcare needs they have and how we can become more educated in providing healthcare to transgender patients. My guest is Natalie C. Erbs, M.D., from the Department of Family Medicine at the Mayo Clinic.

HOST: Nicole Nfonoyim-Hara
GUESTS: Catherine W. Njathi-Ori, M.D. and Natalie H. Strand, M.D.
“On a scale of 1 to 10, what's your pain?” If you’ve just broken a bone or are seeking treatment for endomitosis, it’s likely the first question you’ll be asked. But what if your pain is dismissed or minimized due to your age, race, or gender? In this episode of the RISE for Equity podcast, host Nicole Nfonoyim-Hara unpacks the latest evidence around bias in pain management—and effective strategies for a holistic approach to care—with Mayo Clinic physicians Catherine Njathi-Ori and Natalie Strand.
Catherine W. Njathi-Ori, M.D., is an anesthesiologist specializing in acute pain management based in Rochester, Minnesota.
Natalie H. Strand, M.D., is an Associate Professor in the Department of Anesthesiology, Division of Pain Medicine. She serves as the Director of Pain Research and the Director of Neuromodulation for Mayo Clinic Arizona.
“We need to be humble as providers, because there definitely will be cultural influences on how patients are going to respond to how they're feeling…. While we have the visual and the numeric skills, we have to acknowledge that pain is more complex.” — Catherine Njathi-Ori, M.D.
“People I think are well-meaning in medicine for the most part. I really believe that. But just because you're well-meaning doesn't mean you're not biased. People often can't see their own blind spots. When you don't have diversity in your division or department, or you don't have diversity on your admissions committees, or you don't have diversity in your surgical teams and anesthesia teams, how is anybody supposed to see their own blind spots?” —Nathalie H. Strand, M.D.

Handle with Care to Giving Bad News
Tuesday Jun 11, 2024
Tuesday Jun 11, 2024
Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. [@chutkaMD]
Guest: Amanda K. Lorenz, M.D.
Giving our patients bad or unexpected news is one of the most difficult, but also one of the most important responsibilities we have as health care clinicians. This is when our patients need us the most and we need to do this with compassion and empathy. This is best done face to face and ideally once we have established a good relationship with our patient. Unfortunately, this isn’t always possible. A clinician in the emergency department telling a patient they’ve suffered an MI or a radiologist explaining a worrisome finding on mammogram may have just recently met the patient. What’s the best way to give our patients bad news? Can we become better at this? What can we expect from our patients after they hear the news? And how much information should we share with them? These are all topics we’ll discuss with our guest, Amanda K. Lorenz, M.D., a palliative medicine physician. Our topic for this podcast is “Giving Bad News”.

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. [@chutkaMD]
Guest: Ali J. Ainsworth, M.D.
A successful pregnancy is a complicated process. It involves a combination of precise timing as well as anatomic and physiologic conditions which need to be intact and functioning normally. When pregnancy is unable to be achieved, it can be due to a problem in the female, the male, or both. It’s relatively common and can result in significant frustration. Psychological problems also commonly result. The topic for today’s podcast is infertility; it’s causes, evaluation and management. My guest is Ali J. Ainsworth, M.D., a specialist in reproductive endocrinology and infertility from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Mayo Clinic.

Tuesday May 28, 2024
Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. [@chutkaMD]
Guest: Robert M. Jacobson, M.D.
Immunizations are one of the greatest success stories in modern medicine and it’s estimated that they’ve saved more lives and prevented more disabilities than any other medical intervention. They’re probably responsible, more than any other medical advance in contributing to our increased longevity as a population. They’re also extremely cost-effective and their benefits far outweigh the very small risks they carry. This podcast will review new information regarding immunizations and how we as clinicians can increase our patients’ immunization rates. Our guest is Robert M. Jacobson, M.D., a pediatrician, and expert in immunizations from the Department of Pediatrics at the Mayo Clinic.

“The point of the IBD Pride Clinic is to declare to the world that we have that safe space for you, and that we’re ready and welcoming and wanting you to come seek your care with us in a safe affirming space and we strive to keep your needs at the center of all our endeavors, just like the Mayo Clinic always says—the clinic’s value is the patient’s needs come first.” – Victor G.

Guest: Kelly Pennington, M.D.
Guest: Sahar Saddoughi, M.D., Ph.D.
The lung is one of the most common organs transplanted, trailing transplants of kidney, liver, and heart, with over 2600 performed in 2022. Lung transplantation may involve transplanting either one or both lungs, and occasionally performed together with a heart transplant. Although some patients with a lung transplant have lived more than 10 years, only about half are alive after 5 years. In this podcast, we’ll discuss “When to Refer a Patient for a Lung Transplant”. Who’s a candidate for a lung transplant and when should we think about this for our patients? How successful is a lung transplant and what are conditions that would exclude a patient from the procedure? These are all questions I’ll be asking my guests, thoracic surgeon, Sahar Saddoughi, M.D., Ph.D., and pulmonologist, Kelly Pennington, M.D., both from the Mayo Clinic in honor of ‘National Donate Life Month’.
