Speaker 1: You are about to listen to the Doctor Dahlia Show,
Speaker 1: sassy stimulating talk radio and now here's doctor dahliat doctor
Speaker 1: doctor t.
Speaker 2: Me Alie, Alie, Allie.
Speaker 3: So if you haven't guessed, I'm not feeling too well
Speaker 3: on my own choice, and I wouldn't do it different,
Speaker 3: but I decided to complete my shingles vaccine series. And
Speaker 3: for those of you that have ever gotten your shingles vaccine,
Speaker 3: you know exactly what I'm talking about. You get the
Speaker 3: first shingles vaccine, you feel bluff for a couple of days.
Speaker 2: You got the second one, you feel horrible. And I
Speaker 2: feel horrible.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 3: I know there's a lot of people who are not
Speaker 3: very you know, pro vaccine, going Dolly, and why do
Speaker 3: you keep doing this to yourself?
Speaker 2: Why are you getting these vaccines?
Speaker 3: And then we have to hear you complain about them
Speaker 3: because you know, I'm honest. I'm gonna tell you if
Speaker 3: I'm gonna vaccinate against something, I'm really honest about that.
Speaker 3: Maybe too honest, but the shingles vaccine, for me, I
Speaker 3: thought it was a good idea. I had chicken pox
Speaker 3: as a kid, in pretty bad chicken pox and shingles
Speaker 3: is your chicken pox that decides to hide out in
Speaker 3: one of your dermatomes and then comes out in a
Speaker 3: period of stress, or COVID could wake it up and
Speaker 3: then or something else could reactivate it and then you
Speaker 3: get a very painful, blistering rash. If I only thought
Speaker 3: I would get shingles on my butt, I might rethink
Speaker 3: the vaccine. But my hunch is I'm gonna get the
Speaker 3: shingles all across my eye and face. I don't want that,
Speaker 3: or I'll get it wrapped around my chest where I
Speaker 3: can't breathe. So for me, I wanted to get the
Speaker 3: shingles vaccine. I also got the cat vaccine. The I
Speaker 3: got the uh uh pneumonia vaccine as well, because after
Speaker 3: this last bout of covid, I'm like, I don't want pneumonia,
Speaker 3: and the uh the pneumonia vaccine now is just a
Speaker 3: one shot deal where you don't have to get a
Speaker 3: rebooster and it covers you for at least twenty one
Speaker 3: different strains. So for me, I was like, that's a
Speaker 3: good deal and insurance, most insurance covers it. But the
Speaker 3: shingles vaccine aUI aUI aUI my arm.
Speaker 2: Is killing me.
Speaker 3: My underarm is swollen. I can't lift my arm, horrible headache,
Speaker 3: couldn't sleep, felt feverish, completely nauseated, couldn't get comfortable, hardly
Speaker 3: slept last night. Now, but it's worth it. It's worth it,
Speaker 3: I mean for me. Now, somebody could say, well, isn't
Speaker 3: that scary? Not really, because it means my immune system
Speaker 3: got woken up.
Speaker 2: And shingles scares me. Not the one that you get
Speaker 2: on the butt, but if I got it anywhere else.
Speaker 3: I've had patience where they had post herpetic neuralgia, where
Speaker 3: that pain haunted them for life. And I'm the type
Speaker 3: of person. Maybe it's because I'm a doctor where when
Speaker 3: something goes wrong or there's a side effect, you're the
Speaker 3: one that's gonna get it. Learn early on that when
Speaker 3: I got pregnant, you know, you, being a doctor, you're gonna.
Speaker 2: Have the complications. It just happens.
Speaker 3: Because you're working all the time, you're not hydrating enough,
Speaker 3: you're around so much infectious disease. You know you're gonna
Speaker 3: get the complications. And it's like, well that sucks. And
Speaker 3: so always whenever something goes wrong, it seems to go
Speaker 3: wrong with me. So for me, I'm like, you know,
Speaker 3: if I'm getting shingles, is probably not gonna be the
Speaker 3: easy kind. And we also had studies if you remember
Speaker 3: last year that said those people that get the shingles
Speaker 3: vaccine have a lower case of dementia. Now, maybe it's
Speaker 3: because shingles, especially if it hits you know, the face
Speaker 3: and eye and brain, or you have a severe, severe
Speaker 3: infection of shingles, that can be pretty pretty devastating and
Speaker 3: you know, affect your brain health. But for me, I
Speaker 3: was like, I'm gonna do it, but I feel like crap.
Speaker 3: So whenever you do get the shingles vaccine, you want
Speaker 3: to make sure you have at least two or three
Speaker 3: days off work. At least you want to let your
Speaker 3: employer know you're getting a vaccine. Okay, don't panic about
Speaker 3: me having an infectious disease. I am going to be
Speaker 3: feeling like crap. But I got to tell you something.
Speaker 3: The one thing though, that happens to me with these
Speaker 3: vaccines that I've been excuse me, very happy of about,
Speaker 3: is I don't get the illness if I get the vaccine.
Speaker 2: So they work on me.
Speaker 3: For some people they may not work, but for the
Speaker 3: maturity of us, they do, and so I chose to
Speaker 3: do that.
Speaker 2: I know there's a lot of people.
Speaker 3: Going, oh, yeah, man, I don't like vaccines. I don't
Speaker 3: trust the government, and that's your personal choice.
Speaker 2: I'm not telling you to go and do something.
Speaker 3: But for me, it really made a lot of sense
Speaker 3: because what I've seen with shingles, and I've seen it
Speaker 3: due to patience, and what I think it could do
Speaker 3: to me not good. And so if it means for
Speaker 3: a couple of days, I'm gonna feel like crap, I'll
Speaker 3: go with that.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And I know people say, yeah, but shingles doesn't
Speaker 2: kill shingles technically.
Speaker 3: I've never seen somebody die of shingles, but I have
Speaker 3: seen somebody go blind, I have seen somebody get secondary infections.
Speaker 3: I have seen people get very very ill. I just
Speaker 3: don't want that now. And another thing too that also
Speaker 3: steered my thinking, which I know is not going to
Speaker 3: be something you all want to hear, is I am
Speaker 3: now of the mindset that there is not going to
Speaker 3: be a hospital bed with my name on it where,
Speaker 3: if God forbid, I need to go to the hospital.
Speaker 3: Were full right, we do not have the infrastructure for
Speaker 3: the amount of population that we have. It used to
Speaker 3: be you went to the hospital, you get admitted, but
Speaker 3: that's not the case. I'm hearing people are stuck in
Speaker 3: the er for days. I'm hearing hospitals are full, overwhelmed,
Speaker 3: and so my fear, especially with the pneumonia. So I
Speaker 3: got the pneumonia vaccine is if God forbid, It's my
Speaker 3: time where I'm like, Okay, now I need to.
Speaker 2: Go to the hospital I had. This is my first.
Speaker 3: Time that I'm going to be told no, sorry, we
Speaker 3: can't help you. And it's not that the er would
Speaker 3: say that, it's that I would have to be diverted
Speaker 3: to someplace where there's room. We don't have enough facilities anymore,
Speaker 3: and the medical systems are overwhelmed. We have just too
Speaker 3: many people and not enough structure, not enough infrastructure, and
Speaker 3: not enough staff. So I need to make sure I
Speaker 3: don't get sick. Ah Am I gonna get the flu
Speaker 3: vaccine this year?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I haven't decided yet, because this is really messing me
Speaker 3: up right now. I don't think I could get I
Speaker 3: did my left arm because I really need to use
Speaker 3: my right arm, and I know that I just can't
Speaker 3: even basically bend to.
Speaker 2: My left arm. Right now.
Speaker 3: The problem with that is you don't want left arm
Speaker 3: pain because then you're thinking, oh my god, if I'm
Speaker 3: having a heart attack.
Speaker 2: So I with the COVID vaccine.
Speaker 3: I told you, I'll really consider doing it on the
Speaker 3: right because you're gonna think you're having heart issues for
Speaker 3: a month, because you know, if you're you react like
Speaker 3: I did to the COVID vaccine on the left side.
Speaker 3: But I gotta tell you, when I got that COVID booster,
Speaker 3: I didn't get COVID for a year or two. That
Speaker 3: was kind of nice because I just got COVID this
Speaker 3: summer and it sucked. As you know, the COVID strain
Speaker 3: is going is now circulating. Not a lot of hospitalizations,
Speaker 3: thank god, but people are down for weeks and it's
Speaker 3: not good. Don't get the shingles vaccine if you're sick.
Speaker 3: I felt like I was well enough and not having
Speaker 3: you know, COVID, that I could, you know, function and
Speaker 3: do well. But talk to your medical provider. For those
Speaker 3: of you over fifty, we recommend it. For those of
Speaker 3: you nineteen years old and above, if you're at high risk,
Speaker 3: we recommend you get the vaccine. Talk to your medical provider. Also,
Speaker 3: consider the pneumonia vaccine because the number one cause of
Speaker 3: death with flu is a pneumonia. You know, the number
Speaker 3: one in veccious disease that affects older individuals is an ammonia.
Speaker 3: So you really need to, you know, make sure that
Speaker 3: you're preventing that. And so I love that we have
Speaker 3: a vaccine for that. So, but it's my personal choice.
Speaker 3: I I don't give me crap if I wanted to
Speaker 3: do that one eight seven seven doct DOLLI don't go away.

Speaker 3: A major legal battle is going on right now as
Speaker 3: it pertains to a surrogate mother whose baby or fetus
Speaker 3: had a cardiac issue that could be fatal, and the
Speaker 3: biological parents who asked her to surrogate the baby wanted
Speaker 3: her to abort the baby. The baby the mom didn't
Speaker 3: want to abort the baby, so McKenna West is a
Speaker 3: nurse from Alaska. She carried the baby for the California
Speaker 3: couple Nauchene Gilcar and Omar Ahmed. There was a surrogacy
Speaker 3: agreement that included an abortion clause. At twenty weeks so
Speaker 3: about four and a half to five months old, the
Speaker 3: fetus was diagnosed with hypoplastic left heart syndrome. Now, hypoplastic
Speaker 3: left heart syndrome means a left side of the heart
Speaker 3: is not able to pump the blood to.
Speaker 2: The degree that it needs to. There's less space. It's hypoplastic.
Speaker 3: Then more has to happen with the right side of
Speaker 3: the heart, where the right side of the heart has
Speaker 3: to do most of the work. The ductus arteriosis of
Speaker 3: first few days of life could help a little bit,
Speaker 3: but after that there could be a high fatality rate
Speaker 3: without medical intervention. With medical intervention, however, there's a.
Speaker 2: Lot that could be done.
Speaker 3: But the biological parents requested that Miss West terminate the baby.
Speaker 3: West refused, fled to Texas, and she gave birth on
Speaker 3: August twelfth. Texas Attorney General temporarily intervened to mandate life
Speaker 3: saving care. The biological parents secured a restraining order restricting
Speaker 3: West from contact the infants successfully end under what a
Speaker 3: norwould procedure on August seventeenth, so the biological parents are
Speaker 3: now suing the surrogate for over one hundred grand for
Speaker 3: breach of contract and alleged damages. They named the child Roomy,
Speaker 3: but apparently in the media and Miss West, they referred
Speaker 3: to the baby as Gabriel, so the surrogate said as
Speaker 3: soon as the baby was born, that the baby got ripped.
Speaker 2: Away from her.
Speaker 3: And you know, being a surrogate's not easy because you know,
Speaker 3: it's understood that you don't you bond.
Speaker 2: With the baby, but it's not your baby.
Speaker 3: When you're a surrogate, whoever is the biological parents, they
Speaker 3: get access to the baby.
Speaker 2: But she did not want to abort the child.
Speaker 3: And so she's an Alaska mother and a cardiac nurse,
Speaker 3: so she fought to have this baby live.
Speaker 2: And get a chance.
Speaker 3: And it's a baby boy who they now name Gabriel.
Speaker 3: She got sixty seconds with him while the umbilical cord
Speaker 3: was still connected, and then of course the baby was
Speaker 3: taken away and then later given to the intended parents.
Speaker 2: The biological appearance.
Speaker 3: Wes had agreed last year to serve as a surrogate
Speaker 3: for Omar Ahmed and now Sheen Gilkhar of California, but
Speaker 3: they wanted to terminate the pregnancy. Ahmed in Gilkar's attorney
Speaker 3: disputes to key parts of her account and says they
Speaker 3: consented to the child's surgery as soon as doctors determined
Speaker 3: that he was eligible. So the Norwood procedure was the
Speaker 3: first of three open heart surgeries for newborns to commonly
Speaker 3: treat this, and apparently many of these babies can survive
Speaker 3: into adulthood.
Speaker 2: So that is something that is a obviously a yep bill.
Speaker 3: This baby live about sixty to seventy percented children who
Speaker 3: are able to get open heart surgeries with a heart
Speaker 3: transplant sixty to seventy children sixty to seventy percenter to
Speaker 3: make it at least through five years old. For individuals
Speaker 3: who survive these early childhood procedures and reach adolescents, ninety
Speaker 3: percent survive into adulthood. Some of these patients were seen
Speaker 3: are living well into their mid thirties and beyond. Of course,
Speaker 3: we haven't had the surgery and the data, so we
Speaker 3: don't have a lot of eighty year old data right
Speaker 3: because we didn't have the procedure then, but for them
Speaker 3: to be able to you know, so that means there's potential.
Speaker 2: So the highest risk period is you know, obviously after
Speaker 2: neonatal surgery.
Speaker 3: Overall survival rates range anywhere from sixty percent to seventy
Speaker 3: five percent. That's still good, but it's nin one hundred
Speaker 3: percent age is five to eighteen, around seventy percent of
Speaker 3: children that under the go the multi stage reconstruction including
Speaker 3: a Norwood and Glen and fontane procedures or even a
Speaker 3: heart transplant, can reach school age. Once patients make it
Speaker 3: to early adulthood, they've gotten through a lot of the
Speaker 3: trouble time. So we have some amazing pediatric advancements. And
Speaker 3: now is the question, you know, who gets to decide
Speaker 3: if the baby gets to live, the biological parents or
Speaker 3: the surrogate. Well, according to the you know, of the
Speaker 3: according to the biological parents they had, and they're an
Speaker 3: abortion clause where if they want the surrogate mom to abort, aboard,
Speaker 3: but the baby was already second trimester, and so you know,
Speaker 3: that's that's harder to do. And this mom who's a
Speaker 3: cardiac nerves is like, you don't have to abort, don't panic. Okay,
Speaker 3: we could be doing stuff there there's things we could do.
Speaker 3: And again, I can't think of what the biological parents
Speaker 3: are thinking. Are they thinking the expense? Are they think
Speaker 3: of this child's not going to have, you know, an option.
Speaker 3: You know, is a child going to struggle? Are they
Speaker 3: going to be burdened with medical bills? But the thing
Speaker 3: is is the baby has a fighting chance to live. Now,
Speaker 3: I'm on the side give baby a fighting chance to live.
Speaker 3: West is being represented with assistance from Alliance Defending Freedom.
Speaker 3: She is not trying to take somebody else a child,
Speaker 3: she said. I'm not fighting to try to take someone
Speaker 3: else's baby. I'm fighting because the baby boy needs somebody
Speaker 3: willing to advocate for and fight alongside him as he
Speaker 3: gets the ongoing treatment his fragile heart requires.
Speaker 2: So the concern the mom.
Speaker 3: Is having is, even though the child was able to
Speaker 3: get one procedure, are the parents who wanted this child
Speaker 3: aboarded going to be on board with doing the follow
Speaker 3: up procedures?
Speaker 2: And I see why there's the back and forth with this.
Speaker 3: The parents are probably thinking, I didn't want this if
Speaker 3: the baby wasn't gonna be healthy. Yeah, we you know now,
Speaker 3: And this is what they're thinking. It's not I wouldn't
Speaker 3: have shared this thinking. But they're thinking is like the expense.
Speaker 2: The round the clock care, you know, we you know,
Speaker 2: we we knew.
Speaker 3: This would be an issue for us. But then then,
Speaker 3: don't be that child's parent. Give that child to somebody
Speaker 3: who wants them. Miss West is not trying to get custody.
Speaker 3: She just wants to make sure that the parents that
Speaker 3: wanted the kid aboorded will still take care of the child.
Speaker 3: So McKenna is now fighting for custody because Gabriel needs
Speaker 3: somebody willing to defend him, according to her A Live
Speaker 3: Action founder and president Lila Rose, whose organization has supported
Speaker 3: miss West, so Rose questioned Ahmed's and.
Speaker 2: Gilkhar's account of events.
Speaker 3: She said, if they were willing for Gabriel to receive
Speaker 3: the surgery, why did a Texas court have to ensure
Speaker 3: that he received it under the force of law. The
Speaker 3: court intervened and Gabriel has now received the surgery he
Speaker 3: desperately needed.
Speaker 2: To praise the lord.
Speaker 3: Rose also alleged that Ahmed and Gilkar, the parents, previously
Speaker 3: declined to consent to the baby's medical care, and is
Speaker 3: now wanting to take him out of Texas. Their attorney
Speaker 3: has disputed west characterization of the case, saying that they
Speaker 3: consented to surgery once the baby's medical team determined he
Speaker 3: was eligible for the procedure. So Texas Attorney General Ken
Speaker 3: Paxton had intervened and to Texas medical centers had legal
Speaker 3: obligations to provide medically necessary care after the child was born,
Speaker 3: and you know, the future of this child is going
Speaker 3: to be up in question because the child is gonna
Speaker 3: need a lot of care, and so if the parents
Speaker 3: don't want to be a part of that, they could then,
Speaker 3: you know, give that child up for adoption or give
Speaker 3: the child to the surrogate. But if the parents do
Speaker 3: want the child, they're gonna have to then take care
Speaker 3: of the child. And you know, it's interesting because I
Speaker 3: had the conversation with my doctor. My doctor said, I
Speaker 3: want to do the triple screen on you because in
Speaker 3: case you have Down syndrome. I go, you don't have
Speaker 3: to do the testing because I'm still gonna want the baby.
Speaker 2: I'm not going to abort the baby.
Speaker 3: You know, a butt she goes, but I need to
Speaker 3: know so I could prepare Nick you if we do
Speaker 3: have any issues, still do the testing.
Speaker 2: I'm like, Okay, no problem, but I will keep the baby,
Speaker 2: just to let you know.
Speaker 3: But you have other parents who are worried and there
Speaker 3: and and they're know they they you know, having a
Speaker 3: child that that they can't take care of is very
Speaker 3: demanding and it's a shame because we have the ability
Speaker 3: to do amazing things, and some of these kids are
Speaker 3: able to fight well and and you know, you always
Speaker 3: get that conversation survival of the fittest. If nature didn't
Speaker 3: want that baby, why are we intervening? Well, I look
Speaker 3: at survival of the fittest and the Darwinian natural selection
Speaker 3: is we now have the ability to save those babies.
Speaker 2: So then why wouldn't we It's not easy.
Speaker 3: So the surrogate mom at least was able to give
Speaker 3: birth to the baby. The baby was able to get care.
Speaker 3: And what really stinks is this child is going to
Speaker 3: grow up seeing this on the internet, how they how
Speaker 3: her original parents wanted her or him him aborted.
Speaker 2: And that's not easy. It's not easy for a child
Speaker 2: to see that.
Speaker 3: And so you know, the parents are going to have
Speaker 3: a really good conver have to have a really good
Speaker 3: conversation with the child, uh, you know, saying look, you know,
Speaker 3: at the time, we didn't think you would make it.
Speaker 3: We thought the fatality rate was high, and you know,
Speaker 3: we love you and you know, but but they're gonna
Speaker 3: see that this is I mean, because this is a
Speaker 3: case and I'm sure eventually we might even see the
Speaker 3: Supreme Court get involved. What happens if a surrogate doesn't
Speaker 3: want to abort the child and goes to an area where.
Speaker 2: Abortion is not as easy to get.
Speaker 3: You know, what did the biological parents have in terms
Speaker 3: of choice? First trimester is a whole different scenario than
Speaker 3: second trimester, So we'll see what what happened, but hopefully
Speaker 3: the baby does well. Godspeed one eight seven seven Doctelli.
Speaker 7: At Hotshot Secret we share the science behind common diesel
Speaker 7: problems in their solutions. For example, diesel fuel setane levels.
Speaker 7: In many states, the setane rating and diesel fuel is
Speaker 7: forty two to forty five. Most diesel engines operate more
Speaker 7: efficiently with the cetane rating of forty eight to fifty one.
Speaker 7: Treatment of hot Shot Secret Diesel Extreme will raise your
Speaker 7: seatane seven points, increase fuel economy, and improve cold starts.
Speaker 7: Due to a cleaner burn, there are less hydrocarbons in

Speaker 2: So to use marijuana or not use marijuana, it's still
Speaker 2: the question.
Speaker 3: I think we have enough data saying, look, if you
Speaker 3: don't have to use it, don't use it.
Speaker 2: But everybody and their mother seems to be on it.
Speaker 2: And yes, there's a lot of moms out there on it.
Speaker 3: I see it, uh, and we I voted to legalize it.
Speaker 2: I live in southern Nevada.
Speaker 3: When we had that on a referendum, or on her
Speaker 3: when we had that on a h I think, yeah,
Speaker 3: it was a referendum that we had to approve. I
Speaker 3: did vote yes on that because I wanted us to
Speaker 3: be will study it and see what medical applications there are,
Speaker 3: make sure the police didn't have to be burdened with
Speaker 3: you know, those to me small crimes compared to all
Speaker 3: the other bad things that happened out there. In fact,
Speaker 3: I was just in Alaska at the Walmart a couple times,
Speaker 3: and there was a shooting at a Walmart that injured officers.
Speaker 3: I mean, these are the things I want our police
Speaker 3: to deal with, not you know, somebody possessing a bag
Speaker 3: of weed. But the one thing I did not anticipate,
Speaker 3: and I should have anticipated, sadly, was that the cannabis
Speaker 3: would run rampantly through our high schools and even middle schools,
Speaker 3: and that kids would be exposed having access to it
Speaker 3: and using it even more than cigarettes and alcohol. That's
Speaker 3: a concern, especially since you see the dropout rate. Not
Speaker 3: only need to go and get a job. I could
Speaker 3: just play video games in my mom's basement. And I
Speaker 3: think it really did damaged a lot of kids. But
Speaker 3: what about adults and cannabis use. So we have a
Speaker 3: new study where it's actually kind of defined what we
Speaker 3: thought cannabis can do in terms of our memory, in
Speaker 3: terms of our inhibitory control are cognitive functioning and new
Speaker 3: research publishing the American Medical Association now and funded by
Speaker 3: the National Institute on Drug Abuse, said that the long
Speaker 3: term impact of marijuana use on cognitive ability may be
Speaker 3: not as damaging as previously thought. Now I beg to
Speaker 3: differ because I have seen individuals who have been longtime
Speaker 3: users and they just don't seem to have the functioning.
Speaker 3: In fact, that's what they came to see me for
Speaker 3: because they were having memory issues.
Speaker 2: But was the marijuana?
Speaker 3: Was it something else that they were doing eyism? It
Speaker 3: was the marijuana. Well, in this AMA study being reported
Speaker 3: by newsweed.
Speaker 2: You now there's news feed. This is called newsweed.
Speaker 3: The am study was conducted among patients recently authorized to
Speaker 3: use cannabis for medical purposes, and according to the study,
Speaker 3: they found no substantial decline in cognitive function after one
Speaker 3: year of regular use. Now it's not that they studied
Speaker 3: people who used it for forty years their one year.
Speaker 2: How did they deduce this?
Speaker 3: Well, they looked at functional MRIs or magnetic resonance imaging
Speaker 3: to monitor the brain activity during cognitive tasks, measuring changes
Speaker 3: in areas such as the working memory, reward processing, inhibitory control.
Speaker 3: And these were Boston area participants. So they followed fifty
Speaker 3: seven Boston I like Bostonians, all right, okay, But after
Speaker 3: following fifty seven Boston area participants over a twelventh period,
Speaker 3: they found that there was no statistical significant difference in
Speaker 3: the brain activation between baseline scans and follow up scans
Speaker 3: one year later. Okay, you know what, there's already a
Speaker 3: limitation of the study. You used Bostonians. Bostonians are pretty shrewd.
Speaker 3: They're pretty quick.
Speaker 2: Same thing with New Yorkers. I don't think you're going
Speaker 2: to be able to.
Speaker 3: Detect because their their baseline.
Speaker 2: Is so quick and astute.
Speaker 3: And I think we needed a different population base. So
Speaker 3: this study suggests the cannabis, if you're using it in
Speaker 3: mild to moderate amounts for paying anxiety depression sleep disorders,
Speaker 3: had minimal effects on cognitive domains. So according to the researchers,
Speaker 3: they said working memory, reward and inhibitory control task did
Speaker 3: not differ statistically between baseline and end line. And we're
Speaker 3: not associated with changes in cannabis use frequency. So what
Speaker 3: does that mean. Doesn't mean you could smoke, No, Okay.
Speaker 2: We've had and use it.
Speaker 3: No, we've had many studies showing that recreational cannabis impairs
Speaker 3: cognitive function. But that's the difference recreational recreational versus medical cannabis.
Speaker 3: So this study looked at medical cannabis as opposed to
Speaker 3: recreational recreational you know, I mean medical cannabis. Yes, you
Speaker 3: can use a bong and you know it doesn't always
Speaker 3: have to be mare in all or pharmaceutical grade cannabis.
Speaker 3: But maybe it's because the medicinal medicineal do scene is
Speaker 3: as a little bit more science to it, maybe there's
Speaker 3: some more control to it as opposed to you know what,
Speaker 3: I want to.
Speaker 2: Go get baked.
Speaker 3: So I think there is a difference between recreational use
Speaker 3: and medicineal use. Now, study in twenty twenty two found
Speaker 3: that prescribed medical cannabis may have minimal acute impact on
Speaker 3: cognitive function and patients with chronic diseases. So researchers hypothesize
Speaker 3: that the difference between the two forms of consumption could
Speaker 3: be dosing, or the frequency or the intention behind consumption.
Speaker 3: So if you're they agree with what I just said,
Speaker 3: medical cannabis, there might be more of a choreography, a
Speaker 3: prescribed regimen, somebody a doctor behind it, whereas recreational like
Speaker 3: I said, is let's go get baked sort of thing.
Speaker 2: So the authors are.
Speaker 3: From Harvard and mcgovernor Institute of Brain Research and MIT
Speaker 3: and School of Engineering and all that, and so what
Speaker 3: I take from this is, and by the way, there's
Speaker 3: another study look to data from sixty three million Medicare beneficiaries.
Speaker 3: Now Medicare beneficiaries are usually older, but it could be
Speaker 3: some individuals with disability. They revealed that there was no
Speaker 3: statistically significant increase in psychosis diagnosis are psychosis diagnoses in
Speaker 3: states that legalize medical cannabis. Now, we know that marijuana
Speaker 3: could cost thatchosis because we've seen it in the ear
Speaker 3: multiple times. But the difference with this is again medical cannabis.
Speaker 3: Not that it's a different shall we say brand or strain,
Speaker 3: but there's a different choreography to its use.
Speaker 2: So what does that mean?
Speaker 3: Do we have to take our recreational users and turn
Speaker 3: it into something medicineal? Do we have to dose them properly? Yeah,
Speaker 3: I gotta tell you a look at what happened with ozembic.
Speaker 3: Now you have all this microdosing. The art of microdosing
Speaker 3: is actually improving the success of people trying to lose weight,
Speaker 3: as opposed to those saying, you know what, I'm just
Speaker 3: gonna wing it. I'm gonna give myself the maximum dose
Speaker 3: so I could fit into a bikini by fourth of July.
Speaker 3: So maybe it means we do need to get the
Speaker 3: doctors involved. Could also mean that the brain is getting
Speaker 3: used to it. I saw this with people using alcohol.
Speaker 3: I think they did have anxiety, depression, cognitive issues, but
Speaker 3: the functioning ability of those who drank on a regular
Speaker 3: basis shocked me. And I think it's because the body
Speaker 3: built up a tolerance until the body gave out. And
Speaker 3: I've known two people who ended up dying because their
Speaker 3: alcohol use delivered just shut down. So it could be
Speaker 3: that your body is temporarily going, you know what, this
Speaker 3: is how I'm getting used to it. Another issue could
Speaker 3: be that some of the individuals that are using medicineal
Speaker 3: cannabis have so much anxiety, have so much pain, have
Speaker 3: so much depression that they're not functioning well, and that
Speaker 3: using the cannabis to modulate their anxiety or their pain
Speaker 3: or their depression brings them to a better functioning level.
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you, when I'm.
Speaker 3: In pain, I can't if I have a migraine, I
Speaker 3: just don't give me anything to think or process about.
Speaker 2: I'm in pain.
Speaker 3: So maybe, you know, for those individuals who are getting
Speaker 3: to benefit from it, that's the lesser.
Speaker 9: Of two evils.
Speaker 2: So this study is important. It's interesting.
Speaker 3: It doesn't mean though, that you could just chronically use
Speaker 3: without there being We've had plenty of studies linking you know,
Speaker 3: the marijuana to memory decline, psychotic states, anxiety, depression.
Speaker 2: Et cetera.
Speaker 3: But we also know there's different strains and there's an
Speaker 3: art to it, and we're really learning a lot about sativa, indica,
Speaker 3: hybrid strains, different brands, different and and so uh, you know,
Speaker 3: there's we have. What to me this means is we've
Speaker 3: got a lot more work to do.

Speaker 2: Medical UH mishaps are a big concern. We are being told.
Speaker 3: That in some UH statistics, over eight hundred thousand medical
Speaker 3: mistakes are being done causing major patient harm a year,
Speaker 3: and that is.
Speaker 2: Very, very concerning because the you know, I.
Speaker 3: Work every day to make sure not one single mistake happens,
Speaker 3: and to think that there's hundreds of thousands being reported
Speaker 3: that are being done, you wonder how many are not
Speaker 3: being reported. We talked about that in vitual fertilization mishap,
Speaker 3: where a couple got the wrong embryo. The child was
Speaker 3: one hundred percent South Asian to the Caucasian couple and
Speaker 3: they want to keep the baby, but the biological parents
Speaker 3: like that was our embryo. So apparently they came up
Speaker 3: with the custody deal and all that. But the and
Speaker 3: the fertility clinic in Florida has closed since then. But
Speaker 3: you're you're thinking to yourself, what's going on here? Now
Speaker 3: here's another issue, or here's another case where Newsweek is
Speaker 3: reporting a woman got the wrong medical treatment and then
Speaker 3: has a catastrotic, catastrophic side effect. So TikTok user Katie
Speaker 3: Sheppard explained that she underwent fifty eight electoral convulsive therapy
Speaker 3: treatments she received and she ended up then losing her memory. Now,
Speaker 3: electroconvulsive therapy has actually been very effective in treating drug
Speaker 3: resistant depression and PTSD, she said, However, it made her worse.
Speaker 2: And she's now concerned whether if she was misdiagnosed.
Speaker 3: She says, I'm twenty nine years old and I don't
Speaker 3: have a single memory from before I was twenty six.
Speaker 3: She says she doesn't remember world events like nine to eleven,
Speaker 3: no memory of COVID. She said, you went to a
Speaker 3: friend's wedding but didn't remember anybody there.
Speaker 2: That's kind of.
Speaker 3: Frightening now, she said, I do want to say that
Speaker 3: I have friends that have done ECT and has completely
Speaker 3: changed your lives and helped them.
Speaker 2: For me, it just became another traumatic.
Speaker 3: Experience and literally erased every memory from my entire life.
Speaker 3: What was her diagnosis, well, she says in a follow
Speaker 3: up video, her actual dietnosis was bipolar disordermatic and post
Speaker 3: traumatic stress disorder. But she said that they chose this
Speaker 3: because they were trying to treat untreatable depression. Now we
Speaker 3: have seen ECT work well in people with depression. Many
Speaker 3: people with bipolar also have depression. People with PTSD also
Speaker 3: can have depression. So I don't know if she was
Speaker 3: officially misdiagnosed, you know, because depression could be a part
Speaker 3: of that. But she feels that the treatment hurt her,
Speaker 3: and it sounds like it did, especially if she doesn't
Speaker 3: have memories. In fact, a twenty twenty five study found
Speaker 3: that many ECT patients do experience some level of long
Speaker 3: term memory loss. Newsweek is reporting that they have found
Speaker 3: an increasing number of Americans under forty reporting memory loss
Speaker 3: and struggling with focus, and a patient who has traumatic
Speaker 3: brain injury shared their experience feels they don't feel human
Speaker 3: anymore because they're forgetting things. And so some people were
Speaker 3: wondering is ECT effective because it helps erase memories and
Speaker 3: helps erase some of the memories.
Speaker 2: That's not the plan of ect.
Speaker 3: ECT is to kind of jumpstart some of the neurons
Speaker 3: and dopamine and things like that and help brain stimulation.
Speaker 3: But you know, the the erasing of post traumatic memories.
Speaker 2: Might be a unintended.
Speaker 3: Consequence which might help some, but unfortunately, if you had trauma,
Speaker 3: it'll still affect you. So when you have post traumatic
Speaker 3: stress disorder, if you were traumatized, you it might not
Speaker 3: be a memory that triggers you.
Speaker 2: You know, it's very interesting.
Speaker 3: I would never consider myself having the diagnosis of PTSD,
Speaker 3: even though I had a lot of traumatic things happened
Speaker 3: to me.
Speaker 2: But I was in the car and there was a
Speaker 2: song that came on.
Speaker 3: And I can listen to any music, the blues, country, barbershop, quartet, classical, I.
Speaker 2: Like AllMusic, but I don't know what the song was.
Speaker 3: And it was a song from decades ago, and it
Speaker 3: bothered me, and I said, can we turn off the radio?
Speaker 2: Can we turn it off?
Speaker 3: And my husband looked at me like because I've never
Speaker 3: asked him to do that, and he's like, does that
Speaker 3: song remind you of your past? I go, I don't
Speaker 3: have a memory of that, but for some reason, I
Speaker 3: don't feel good with that song. And so even if
Speaker 3: you might not connect the memory, your body has another
Speaker 3: type of memory.
Speaker 2: So that is interesting.
Speaker 3: So these ideas like ketamine and things like that that
Speaker 3: are amnesia causing may help some, but it might not
Speaker 3: necessarily help you know, oh everybody.
Speaker 2: So you know, people were telling her to sue and.
Speaker 3: Again if she was drug resistant and suicidal, and they
Speaker 3: found that ECT could offer an option, and.
Speaker 2: She underwent fifty eight, you know.
Speaker 3: I mean, my guess is they might have moved forward
Speaker 3: because she felt like it was offering her some help,
Speaker 3: but then she ends up losing all her memory.
Speaker 2: I'd like to know a little.
Speaker 3: Bit more about how this happened, But the moral I
Speaker 3: want to make is whether it's a medical mistake or
Speaker 3: it's a side effect, there needs to be a lot
Speaker 3: of education given to the patient. There has to be
Speaker 3: a lot of discussions. I am noticing that many people
Speaker 3: feel rushed into making a decision. I'm not saying that
Speaker 3: this is what happened with her. But every time I
Speaker 3: had surgery, they would very clearly tell me I could die.
Speaker 3: You know, they're about to roll me into the r
Speaker 3: and I may not be coming out.
Speaker 2: No, it was an elective surgery.
Speaker 3: And you know, and then you start to worry and
Speaker 3: you're but but they made that clear because my doctors
Speaker 3: were good.
Speaker 2: And to do informed consent you really need to be
Speaker 2: thorough with that and you need to explain.
Speaker 3: Look, ye know this is you know, these are the
Speaker 3: risks and and there's a lot of risks with any
Speaker 3: medication you take or any procedure that you do. This
Speaker 3: is why kids looking at transgender transitioning aren't really capable
Speaker 3: of giving informed consent, because how do they know what
Speaker 3: they want in terms of fertility or bone density later
Speaker 3: or blood clot risk or cancer risk or heart changes
Speaker 3: in the heart structure.
Speaker 2: You know, how do they understand that and grasp that.
Speaker 3: And so as a physician, you can't just use, you know,
Speaker 3: all these fancy terms. You need to explain, you know,
Speaker 3: what could go on and why and and you know,
Speaker 3: some patients will say there's any side effects. I don't
Speaker 3: want the medicine, I don't want to do it. Okay,
Speaker 3: that's fine, Absolutely fine, that's your decision. But if it's
Speaker 3: a mergent and you have cancer, yep, uh uh, you know,
Speaker 3: we do have to give you the benefits and the rest.
Speaker 2: These are the benefits, these are the risks. My recommendation
Speaker 2: to you.
Speaker 3: All is be as educated as you can going in.
Speaker 3: Be careful of misinformation online, but research what it is
Speaker 3: that you are considering, you know, research your options, look
Speaker 3: and see what other patients have said. I understand that
Speaker 3: there's a lot of you know, misinformation on these reviews,
Speaker 3: you know, like Yelp and things like that. You know,
Speaker 3: an ex boyfriend or an ex wife doesn't like you,
Speaker 3: they're gonna be bad mouthing you. But if somebody says,
Speaker 3: look I had this procedure and this is what happened,
Speaker 3: and then you hear somebody else say, yes, this is
Speaker 3: what happened. Also, you could talk to the medical provider
Speaker 3: about what's going on.
Speaker 2: So like with shantics, you know, uh.
Speaker 3: Shantics for smoking cessation has a risk of sometimes suicidality.
Speaker 2: Well, we're thinking one of the I guess.
Speaker 3: One of the culprits in that or something that might
Speaker 3: increase your risk of that is if you're not using
Speaker 3: it exactly the way it's supposed to, where you quit
Speaker 3: smoking seven days in and you don't go back to nicotine,
Speaker 3: and you use that as opposed to you mixing nicotine
Speaker 3: with it, and so so you know, let the doctor
Speaker 3: explain what's going on.
Speaker 2: One eight seven seven doct dollar. You don't go.
Speaker 9: Away, can you believe?
Speaker 4: With all the recent violent protests, looting and destruction, some
Speaker 4: areas are considering either defunding.
Speaker 9: Or abolishing the police.
Speaker 4: At a time when America's neighborhoods need the protection of
Speaker 4: police the most, some elected officials would rather create more
Speaker 4: chaos by playing politics. If you're sick of elected officials
Speaker 4: caving in to demands of the radical left, you're not alone.
Speaker 4: It's time we stand up and declare our support for
Speaker 4: local police.
