While at the Center, they met and spoke with numerous patients, families, and physicians... and this Sunday (January 17, 12 p.m. ET), we will air a moving bedside interview with a patient named Brandon, his mother, and his physician.<br /><br />Brandon is 14 years old and has neuroblastoma, a form of brain cancer.

This will be the first in a unique upcoming documentary series featuring the patients from the Haslinger Center.<br /><br />The stories are stunning and emotional, and we want to thank Dr. Sarah Friebert and the staff at the Haslinger Center for their support and for their willingness to take us -- and all of you -- inside their walls so that we can share these powerful stories.

He is the author of the recently released book entitled <span style="font-style: italic;">Med School Rx: Getting In, Getting Through, and Getting On with Doctoring</span>.<br /><br />It was a great show, and the full free-to-download podcast is now available on <a href="http://deimos.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/Browse/wright.edu.2049885723.02049885733">our iTunes page</a>!<br /><br />Dr. Hartwig eloquently discussed his views regarding the <span style="font-style: italic;">meaning </span>of being a physician, and he provides advice for both pre-medical students and medical students to get the most out of their journeys through the medical profession. Among the topics discussed: Dr. Hartwig's views on the difference between motivation and inspiration, his advice for pre-medical students applying to medical schools, and his thoughts regarding the continued dedication that doctors should naturally have-- to be "in [the patient's] moment" and "to be able to rise in the morning to be as excted about something that you've already mastered, as if it were the first time you're seeking to master it."<br /><br />After speaking with Dr. Hartwig, we began our new weekly Residency segment, during which we hear from a residency program director from somewhere around the country. This time, we heard from <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Dr. Michael Leitman</span>, Director of the General Surgery Residency Program at New York City's Beth Israel Medical Center.

On this Sunday's show (January 17 at 12 p.m. ET), we will feature an interview with 14-year old Brandon, a patient at the <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-weight: bold;">Haslinger Pediatric Palliative Care Center</span> in Akron, Ohio. Brandon has a severe case of neurological cancer called neuroblastoma, and he (as well as his mother and physician) were gracious to join a group of medical students for a live bedside interview in his hospital room. This will be the first in a unique upcoming documentary series featuring the patients from the Haslinger Center, and we hope you're able to tune in!<br /><br />The stories are stunning and emotional, and we want to thank Dr. Sarah Friebert and the staff at the Haslinger Center for their support and for their willingness to take us -- and all of you -- inside their walls so that we can share these powerful stories.

The man, named Deo, sleeps on park benches in Central Park... until he manages to attend Columbia University, complete a medical degree, and go back to his native country to found a clinic.<br /><br />In this episode, we enjoyed a lively interview with Kidder, who joined us as part of his book tour for <span style="font-style: italic;">Strength in What Remains</span>. Kidder described his experiences with Dr. Farmer and Deo -- specifically, what it was like to immerse himself in their lives, their worlds and then write his best-selling books about them. He commented on the process of actually being with Deo as he returned to the country, Burundi, where he at one time had lost almost everything he had.<br /><br />We very much enjoyed speaking to Tracy, and we hope you get a chance to listen to the podcast on <a href="http://deimos.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/Browse/wright.edu.2049885723.02049885733">our iTunes page</a>.

Many of those perspectives have been presented by acclaimed physician-authors. You can see our Episode Guide in the right sidebar for the full list of guests this season, but they include authors Samuel Shem, Michael Collins, Sandeep Jauhar, Conrad Fischer, Elissa Ely, and Robert Marion.<br /><br />So, we thought it was only fitting that we close our Season 2 -- the "Season of Seasoned Authors" -- with one of the most renowned writers in the country. This Sunday, our special guest will be <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Tracy Kidder</span> (above), author of <span style="font-style: italic;">Mountains Beyond Mountains</span> -- a book that has become somewhat iconic in medical circles for its powerful description of Dr. Paul Farmer, a Harvard professor and renowned infectious-disease specialist who becomes a leader in international health in his quest "to cure the world."<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyQvXc-rlom0bWH0U05qzGrynPxCz73Tej94qBp9cKW6CB2tyCdYFQKN6NpN2-B3uzB8ryx-tQq5DNMhDzLWYJgo3DHrWAuo0LSqdq5wrhS1OeQhO6CrnOptBprXqRQotnuuBP4VzXQVw/s1600-h/MountainsBeyondMountains.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 207px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyQvXc-rlom0bWH0U05qzGrynPxCz73Tej94qBp9cKW6CB2tyCdYFQKN6NpN2-B3uzB8ryx-tQq5DNMhDzLWYJgo3DHrWAuo0LSqdq5wrhS1OeQhO6CrnOptBprXqRQotnuuBP4VzXQVw/s320/MountainsBeyondMountains.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411073754735118354" border="0" /></a><br />Kidder -- already a Pulitzer Prize winner -- drew praise for his account of Dr. Farmer. From <span style="font-style: italic;">The</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">New York Times</span> review: "<i>Mountains Beyond Mountains</i> is inspiring, disturbing, daring and completely absorbing. It will rattle our complacency; it will prick our conscience. One senses that Farmer's life and work has affected Kidder, and it is a measure of Kidder's honesty that he is willing to reveal this to the reader."<br /><br /><span style="font-size:100%;">Kidder graduated from Harvard University and also studied at the University of Iowa. In addition to the Pulitzer Prize, he has won the National Book Award, the Robert F. Kennedy Award, among many other literary prizes. He has authored a number of books -- including <span style="font-style: italic;">Mountains Beyond Mountains, The Soul of a New Machine, Among Schoolchildren, House, My Detachment, Home Town, </span>and <span style="font-style: italic;">Old Friends</span>.<br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrdeCxPgTAHLBENoicnivFhuH8lHt6nLdkRaiWyeCXPmIchz_I_MEFjJVY1kp32Wiqmy7ZXef2-G9_CRp73_fqfWTecqQntqHlhhHV5AUfVNO_2Cw2LAbWN1Otwyq8Un-a8ew-Un28yis/s1600-h/strengthinwhatremains.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrdeCxPgTAHLBENoicnivFhuH8lHt6nLdkRaiWyeCXPmIchz_I_MEFjJVY1kp32Wiqmy7ZXef2-G9_CRp73_fqfWTecqQntqHlhhHV5AUfVNO_2Cw2LAbWN1Otwyq8Un-a8ew-Un28yis/s320/strengthinwhatremains.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411073873876037010" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:100%;">He is also the author of the recently released <span style="font-style: italic;">Strength in What </span></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Remains</span>, and we will discuss this new book in great detail on Sunday. At the heart of the book is a story so unbelievable that you can hardly believe it's nonfiction -- the story of a young man from Burundi who escapes genocide, only to arrive at JFK Airport in New York City with only $200 in his pocket and no knowledge of the English language. Ultimately -- and amazingly -- he goes from sleeping on park benches in Central Park to attending medical school at Columbia University. And he eventually returns to Burundi to help those whom he left behind.<br /><br />Join us this Sunday for what will be a special Season 2 Finale! Live streaming audio will be available here on the blog at 12 p.m. ET, and of course, the podcast will be available on <a href="http://deimos.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/Browse/wright.edu.2049885723.02049885733">our iTunes page</a> shortly thereafter. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Season 3 will premiere January 3, 2010</span>.<br /></span>Radio Roundshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11022169800388389814noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2009143378163638086.post-51677286523493125212009-12-01T16:05:00.003-05:002009-12-01T16:13:51.770-05:00Recap of Episode 217: JAMA -- The Editor-in-Chief<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEU0Tqwx8n5YwSC5gNuR66EkHjRBb2Fa3VGQswV5Hq6j4gI-Ef2yzRLjhV-9UZRrZkcEC_-Gpo0df4JKoNSeEsc1cZuUvjwOoeGV6Vw5hZ9I2DXPSsSawHpgyyplnAd8ZNg1IFBcqu8BU/s1600/217+DeAngelis.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEU0Tqwx8n5YwSC5gNuR66EkHjRBb2Fa3VGQswV5Hq6j4gI-Ef2yzRLjhV-9UZRrZkcEC_-Gpo0df4JKoNSeEsc1cZuUvjwOoeGV6Vw5hZ9I2DXPSsSawHpgyyplnAd8ZNg1IFBcqu8BU/s320/217+DeAngelis.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410378768807612178" border="0" /></a>Our latest episode is now available as a free podcast download <a href="http://deimos.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/Browse/wright.edu.2049885723.02049885733">on our iTunes page</a>!<br /><br />This past Sunday on Radio Rounds, we celebrated our 25th episode in style, looking back at our favorite memories from the show since we premiered last April and welcoming special guest <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Dr. Catherine DeAngelis</span>, the Editor-in-Chief of <span style="font-style: italic;">JAMA</span>, the <span style="font-style: italic;">Journal of the American Medical Association</span> -- one of the premier medical journals in the world.<br /><br />Last month, Executive Producer Shamie Das traveled to Houston, TX, to the American Medical Association (AMA) National Interim Conference, where he met keynote speaker Dr. DeAngelis and recorded this interview.

This was one of our favorite interviews that we've conducted for Radio Rounds, and we hope you can take a listen to both parts (Episodes 215 and 216)!<br /><br />In Part II of our interview, Dr. Fischer continued his message of hope and heroism in medicine, and he discussed how current medical students and physicians can overcome negativity that sometimes might rear its ugly head regarding the medical profession -- whether it's in the media or from physicians themselves. NOW, he says, is the best time to be in medicine -- not 25 years ago, as you may hear some people say.<br /><br />He describes his book, <span style="font-style: italic;">Routine Miracles</span>, as a "manifesto for action" within the current culture of medicine, and he uses his closing message to assure the listeners of the inspiring and unprecedented work that physicians and the profession of medicine are doing. Again, this was a fun interview for us, and we believe the message is motivational -- whether you're a medical student, physician, or anyone interested in the miracles of modern medicine and the intricacies of the current medical culture.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">UP NEXT</span>: There are only two episodes left in Season 2 of Radio Rounds! The first of those two episodes will air live this Sunday, November 29 at 12 p.m. ET.

If you heard the first part, you know that Dr. Fischer is dynamic, outspoken, and engaging... and that this is as motivational as it gets.<br /><br />Well, Part II only gets better.<br /><br />In the second half of our conversation that you can hear on Sunday at 12 p.m. ET, Dr. Fischer discuss negativity that potentially exists within and regarding the profession of medicine, and he proclaims a call to action for medical students and physicians alike.

Dr. Miller also discussed a unique aspect of urology -- that, despite being a surgical specialty, it remains one that has a great amount of patient contact and one that can allow a physician to help patients in a short amount of time. As Dr. Miller says, he's a "fix-it guy."
