<v Speaker 1>have a guest joining me over the telephone right now,

7
00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:19.879
<v Speaker 1>doctor Bob Sentella, and we're going to talk about Midwest

8
00:00:19.879 --> 00:00:23.320
<v Speaker 1>Street Medicine and a fundraising event that's coming up. But first,

9
00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:25.960
<v Speaker 1>doctor Bob, thank you for your time, and let's talk

10
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:28.519
<v Speaker 1>about how you got involved at Midwest Street Medicine.

11
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:33.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm a retired physician and I heard a news story.

12
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:36.799
<v Speaker 2>I've always been interested in the social determinants of health.

13
00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:40.280
<v Speaker 2>I was an afrologist at Kidney Doctor. I retired almost

14
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:44.039
<v Speaker 2>four years ago, and I've always been interested in the

15
00:00:44.159 --> 00:00:47.759
<v Speaker 2>social determinants of health. And after I retired, I actually

16
00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:52.200
<v Speaker 2>started teaching a little bit. I've always been at the

17
00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:54.640
<v Speaker 2>medical school. I was originally hired by the medical school.

18
00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:58.000
<v Speaker 2>There used to be a practice plan and that dissolved,

19
00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:02.079
<v Speaker 2>and then I worked for Era. I've always been interested.

20
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:05.560
<v Speaker 2>I've always taught medical students to some degree, usually straight

21
00:01:05.599 --> 00:01:08.719
<v Speaker 2>medicine but after I retired, I had an interest in

22
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:11.799
<v Speaker 2>the social determinis of health. So I have been teaching

23
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:16.640
<v Speaker 2>periodically the medical students about the social determinants of health.

24
00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:19.359
<v Speaker 2>That is what determines how long we live in our

25
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:23.359
<v Speaker 2>quality of life in terms of not just the pure

26
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:28.200
<v Speaker 2>biology and treatment with medicines, but you know housing and

27
00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:34.200
<v Speaker 2>mental health, and you know ability to afford medicines and

28
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:38.280
<v Speaker 2>care and insurance and everything else. And then I heard

29
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:42.200
<v Speaker 2>a news article about Midwest Street Medicine, and so I

30
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:46.120
<v Speaker 2>contacted the co founder, doctor Shannon Emery, and said, Hey,

31
00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:49.200
<v Speaker 2>can you use a physicians She said, well, yeah, I'm

32
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:54.000
<v Speaker 2>the only one. So that led to me being a

33
00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:56.599
<v Speaker 2>part of Midwest Street Medicine.

34
00:01:56.680 --> 00:01:58.159
<v Speaker 1>I love that. I love that you have a kind

35
00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:00.480
<v Speaker 1>heart and you stepped up to help. For folks that

36
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:03.799
<v Speaker 1>are not familiar with Midwest Street Medicine, let's kind of

37
00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:06.040
<v Speaker 1>clue them in on what you guys do. I'm familiar

38
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:08.639
<v Speaker 1>with it. I think it's an amazing organization. It's a

39
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:11.520
<v Speaker 1>wonderful nonprofit. But let's talk about what you guys do

40
00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:13.400
<v Speaker 1>at Midwest Street Medicine.

41
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:16.680
<v Speaker 2>So we're a group of volunteer healthcare workers and peer

42
00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:21.759
<v Speaker 2>support specialists who deliver evidence based trauma and form care

43
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:28.639
<v Speaker 2>to people suffering from homelessness. So we are doctors, nurses, pas, nursepectitioners, pharmacists,

44
00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:33.400
<v Speaker 2>community health workers, counselors, and peer support specialists. Those are

45
00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:37.759
<v Speaker 2>people who have a lived experience, who've been homeless themselves

46
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:41.120
<v Speaker 2>or had problems of substance use, and they're part of

47
00:02:41.159 --> 00:02:43.400
<v Speaker 2>the team. They help break the ice and gain trust,

48
00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:45.639
<v Speaker 2>and we go to the people on the street and

49
00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:50.639
<v Speaker 2>we provide care. We go to shelters, go to the street,

50
00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:53.159
<v Speaker 2>go to the river, go to under railroad bridges, wherever

51
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:58.240
<v Speaker 2>the people are, and we treat everything infection, wounds for us, bite, hilo, pressure,

52
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:02.560
<v Speaker 2>addiction care, mental health, and we help coordinate with other

53
00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:06.879
<v Speaker 2>services like housing and legal and we get medications for

54
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:10.639
<v Speaker 2>patients and nice. They're the most vulnerable in our community

55
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:12.360
<v Speaker 2>and we try to treat them. So I just wanted

56
00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:14.479
<v Speaker 2>to get that out there because some people have no

57
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:15.280
<v Speaker 2>idea what we do.

58
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:18.039
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely no. I love that. And what would you say,

59
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:20.479
<v Speaker 1>is the most common thing that you treat or does

60
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:22.080
<v Speaker 1>that change based on the time of year?

61
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:26.360
<v Speaker 2>The medical the pure medical changes that time of year.

62
00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:29.039
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we treat frostbite in winter and heat related

63
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:31.879
<v Speaker 2>illness in the summer. But we're always treating infection. But

64
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:36.759
<v Speaker 2>I would say that mental health care subsist use disorder,

65
00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:41.039
<v Speaker 2>those are probably there all the time, and then we

66
00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:43.960
<v Speaker 2>treat a lot of infections, a lot of wounds very nice.

67
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:47.639
<v Speaker 1>And again this is something that the average person probably

68
00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:50.120
<v Speaker 1>can't help, like on the Street team, but they can

69
00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:52.879
<v Speaker 1>help by showing up at the fundraising event. It's a

70
00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:57.240
<v Speaker 1>jazz concert Friday, October third, seven pm at Remedy Brewing Downtown,

71
00:03:57.680 --> 00:03:59.240
<v Speaker 1>and it looks like it's going to be a really

72
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:00.960
<v Speaker 1>fun event. I've heard of a few of the folks

73
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:03.039
<v Speaker 1>that are going to be performing, and it sounds like

74
00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:04.319
<v Speaker 1>it's going to be a really nice thing.

75
00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:08.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, First of all, they're very talented musicians, Dan Hired,

76
00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:12.159
<v Speaker 2>Jim Spears, John Kelly, Ruben Rodriguez. I mean, you would

77
00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:14.439
<v Speaker 2>pay money to go see him at Trio, but this

78
00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:19.360
<v Speaker 2>is free. We're just if you like what we do

79
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:21.680
<v Speaker 2>and you like them, then we're asking for a free

80
00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:25.120
<v Speaker 2>will offering and we have we have a raffle for

81

<v Speaker 2>but it is free and most of our Midwest Street

83
00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:35.879
<v Speaker 2>Medicine team will be there. You could talk to us.

84
00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:40.120
<v Speaker 2>But we are medical care is expensive. Everybody knows that. Well,

85
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:43.600
<v Speaker 2>we provide it for free. So you know, we need

86
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:46.120
<v Speaker 2>to raise money and this is a wonderful way to

87
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:48.199
<v Speaker 2>do it. Do it jazz. It's going to be a one.

88
00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:50.879
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they're just talents and talented physicians. Hey, I've

89
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:53.639

90
00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:56.800
<v Speaker 2>been to Kingston Mines in Chicago, and these guys could

91
00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:00.439
<v Speaker 2>play their hands down, no questions. So so it should

92
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:04.120
<v Speaker 2>be a lot of fun and jazz music. The music

93
00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:07.680
<v Speaker 2>is just I consider a transcendent joy. I mean, I

94
00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:11.720
