Junior Seau & Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) Awareness
On May 2, 2012, NFL Hall of Fame Linebacker Junior Seau shot himself in the chest with a .357 magnum revolver at his home in Oceanside, CA. He was only 43. It’s thought that Junior deliberately shot himself in the chest so that his brain could be studied by scientists. Five specialists consulted by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) by the NFL ultimately diagnosed Seau with chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), the disease found in dozens of former players that died way too young. The fact that Junior Seau never had a diagnosed concussion in his 20 seasons playing professional football raised many questions for the NFL and scientists trying to study his brain. Junior Seau’s diagnosis certainly brought the NFL concussion debate to another level in mainstream media given his high profile status and fame. What do you think is the future of the NFL and Football in America? Comment below.
In the fall of 1958, a middle-aged woman named Izola Curry got dressed up to go see a young author signing copies of his book at Blumstein’s Department Store in Harlem, New York. She had to see for herself that it was in fact the Southern author in the flesh that had visited her neck of the woods. After waiting in line to meet the young writer, Izola asked the famous man if it was really him. When he said yes, she replied, “ Ive been looking for you for 5 years.” Then she did something no one could have expected. She took a steel letter opener out of her bag and penetrated the blade into the young man’s chest.
When cops arrived to the crime scene, they found the young author seated calmly with the letter opener’s ivory handle sticking out of his chest just under his collarbone. With the gravity of the situation readily apparent, one of the officers warned the famous victim, “Don’t sneeze, don’t even speak.” He was then rushed to Harlem Hospital where the chief of thoracic and vascular surgery Dr. John Cordice, Jr. and trauma surgeon Dr. Emil Naclero were called in for emergency surgery. Reportedly coming from a wedding, Dr. Naclero arrived still wearing a tuxedo and prepared for surgery. In a grueling operation, the surgeons sawed open the patient's chest only to find the tip of the blade touching only the most important artery in his body—the aorta. The blade was carefully removed with surgical clamps and the chest was wired shut with the overlying skin stapled closed. The author’s surgeons told him that the police officer’s warning wasn’t far from the truth. The edge of the blade had been resting on his aorta, and any sudden movements may have caused a fatal puncture of the crucial vessel causing the writer to drown in his own blood.
Meanwhile, the unassuming would-be assassin was caught by police and later diagnosed by two psychiatrists with paranoid schizophrenia. She spent the rest of her life in mental institutions. After learning about his attempted murde
Stephen Hillenburg, creator of the animated television series 'Spongebob Squarepants', passed away due to complications of ALS on Monday at the age of 57. Hillenburg was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as “Lou Gehrig's Disease,” in 2017, but stated that he would working on the show "for as long as [he is] able."
ALS is a terminal illness that causes the death of nerve cells (neurons) that control the brain and the spinal cord. It's a progressive disease that mainly involves the neurons responsible for controlling voluntary muscle movement, such as chewing, walking, and talking. Patients with ALS initially present with symptoms such as muscle weakness or stiffness. As more muscles under voluntary control are affected, individuals gradually lose their strength and the ability to speak, eat, move, and even breathe. Most ALS patients die from respiratory failure, usually within 3 to 5 years of symptom onset. However, roughly 10% of patients survive for 10 or more years. About 5-10% of cases are hereditary (familial ALS), and 90-95% are sporadic (no known cause). No effective treatment exists to stop or reverse the progression of this disease.

Thank you for the laughs, Stephen Hillenburg. 🙏❤️😢 #RIP #SpongeBob
Today is the first ever National Physician Su***de Awareness Day. Physicians are more than TWICE as likely to kill themselves as non-physicians—and Female physicians are THREE TIMES more likely than Males. Approximately 400 MEDICAL DOCTORS COMMIT SU***DE EVERY YEAR. That’s like a whole medical school’s worth of doctors just wiped out every year. 😮 Each of those doctors, if they work in primary care, take care of over 2,000 patients which translates to approximately 1 million people that lose their doctor every year when you do the math. 🤯 How alarming is that? And what may be even more alarming is how most people are completely unaware of this very tragic reality in our Healthcare system. It’s no secret that doctors often work shifts of more than 24 hours without time to adequately hydrate, rest or eat. In fact, there’s a famous quote in General Surgery that goes “Eat when you can, Sleep when you can, and Don’t F*ck with the pancreas.” In her TED MED talk, Dr. Pamela Wible (@pamelawiblemd), author of “Physican Su***de Letters” points out 2 different phenomenon for this shockingly high su***de rate among doctors: 1) A medical school culture of "hazing, bullying, and name-calling" that continues into residency resulting in poor medical care for patients and occupational-induced depression for both students and residents, 2) A professional culture for practicing doctors that makes it unrealistic to seek mental health treatment given the hours most physicians work. What do ya’ll think? Leave comments below & tag people to spread awareness.

Sometimes you just have to take out your own damn appendix!
Here's your dose of perspective for the week (or more). In 1961, a Soviet doctor named Leonid Rogozov took part in an Antarctic Expedition. As luck would have it, he developed appendicitis and needed an appendectomy. The problem? It happened during a massive blizzard and Rogozov was the only F*CKING doctor around! And, you guessed it—he decided to remove his own appendix for his damn self. Yup. From incision to suturing himself closed, Dr. Rogozov finished the job in just 2 HOURS. So tell us again about the "Rough Day” you’re having...
Slim Jims & The Meaning of Life
It’s been a little over a year since we started the Medicine ReMixed show on Anchor but the seeds of the concept were planted almost a decade ago when 2 Hip Hip Hop Heads serendipitously met in medical school with a common vision to remix medical education. The concept started as a blog called “Injury Duty” that we used as a way to make the material we were studying more relatable to our passions outside of Medicine— Sports, Comedy, Hip Hop & Popular Culture. We never imagined that people other than us would ever read it— but they did! We developed a very small following of Pop Medicine enthusiasts but quickly realized that we wouldn’t be able to keep up the consistency of writing posts with the very real demands of our residency training after medical school that was quickly approaching. We tossed around the idea of turning the blog into a podcast instead and just around this time in 2013 we recorded our very first episode of a podcast we called “Laughs by Prescription.” In that episode, Dee Bunked tells an amazing story about the time he learned the meaning of life during a serendipitous road trip with some random Tibetan monks after graduating medical school. We created this video mashup paying homage to that timeless tale from our first ever podcast that still makes us laugh and think everytime we hear it. Our latest podcast episode reboots this story with some new insights about how to “Be flexible” after 5 grueling years of residency training following medical school. Definitely worth a listen— you can listen on Anchor, iTunes, Googleplay and basically wherever you listen to podcasts these days. Much love and a big thank you to everyone who has supported us on this wild ride to keep our dream alive!
GLADVIL gratitude tablets are under review for distribution through a “Perspective Pharmacy” near you. In the meantime, a great perspective “placebo pill” (if you will 😉) is writing down at least 3 things you’re grateful for every morning. They can be things like a relationship you value, an opportunity you have today, something awesome that you witnessed or that happened to you recently, or even something super ordinary like something you had for breakfast or the weather outside. It’s definitely recommended to engage in this practice even while taking GLADVIL as some preliminary studies by Phake Pharm show that it may have what’s called a “synergistic effect,” meaning the pills plus the practice together enhance the overall effect of each on your overall level of perspective and gratitude! Get faster and longer relief for your F*cking whining and complaining than any other brand out there. GLADVIL gel caps—for when you just need a gratitude adjustment. Speaking of gratitude, we’d be so grateful if you listened to “Medicine ReMixed” on Anchor, iTunes, Google Play or wherever you listen to podcasts! #MondayMotivation #MedicineRemixed #PhakePharm
When we asked 3-Time NFL Pro-Bowler Kassim Osgood about his mindset while playing in the league for 13 seasons, he said “It’s not as much the glory as it is about I have a job everyone loves and all these people give you the best cheer for doing the stupidest thing you could ever do to your body.” Listen to the whole raw conversation about the life of a professional football player— “Do Your Job” ft.

In some of the darkest times for U.S. Healthcare, it can be difficult for both patients and providers to see “The Light.” Here’s a cut from our most recent podcast episode called “[Healthcare] Transformers & Empathy Robots in Disguise” where Dee Bunked tells Reesh a story about the time he spent money out of his own pocket to treat a patient with Seasonal Affecfive Disorder (SAD) who couldn’t afford a Lightbox—a simple device designed to simulate sunlight so that the Melanopsin receptors in the eyes can trigger the required Serotonin release within the brain for natural sleep cycles and general feelings of well-being. The required amount of light for this serotonin release is a minimum of 2,500 Lux (the unit of intensity that light is measured). 😉 In this segment of our episode, the conversation about light therapy leads to a larger discussion about the inefficiencies of Healthcare delivery and how specific technologies can help us scale the unscalable in Modern Medicine— Time & Empathy. To learn more about these technologies that can help show us “The Light,” listen to “Medicine, ReMixed” on Anchor, iTunes, Google Play or wherever you listen to podcasts! 💊🤔🎤 #MedicineRemixed #LifeHacks #Healthcare
Bipolar Disorder is a condition marked by times of Major Depression separated with times of wild amounts of energy (known in the Psych world as “Mania”). It’s seen in about 1% of the population and mostly affects young people between 20-30. Bipolar disorder is REAL, and it can be devastating. “Mental illness” is still an “icky” term for many. Maybe it’s because the “mental” in “mental illness” makes people feel stigmatized. Maybe all the years of seeing the word “psycho” being attached to killers in moves and the media has made us second guess seeing a psychiatrist or psychologist because they sound similar. Maybe this mainstream conditioning has forever ruined the connotation of psychotherapy. This notion of “talking to someone about your problems isn’t going to help you” needs to be dealt with once and for all. The segment above was taken from our recent podcast episode “The Bipolar Express Vol. 1,” which is a raw introduction to a largely misunderstood mental illness. Between the experiences of those who treat it for a living and those who live it for a living, mind the gap in the episode and prepare for a lot of twists and turns during your first ride on “The Bipolar Express.” Tag someone that might be interested! 💊🤔🎤 [This episode is available for Free.99 on Anchor, iTunes, or wherever you listen to podcasts] #medicineremixed #podcast #mentalhealth #shrinkrap

Here’s a cut from our most listened to episode of the “Medicine ReMixed” show to date on Anchor & iTunes when we talked to “The Most Interesting Woman in the World,” aka Dr. Kathryn Ko (Doc Ambidexter). Dr. Ko is an ambidextrous Neurosurgeon/Fine Artist in NYC. We talk about everything from her journey into Art and Neurosurgery, the single most important change she made in her life that influenced the capacity of her brain, and we even bond about the Music we Play(and Don’t Play) in the OR! Among other things, she taught us in this interview that Artists and Surgeons make incisions in different ways—but equally have the power to affect positive change in this world. If you are New to the Medicine ReMixed Crew, this interview with Dr. Ko is the best introduction to what we’re all about! (find the episode on basically wherever you listen to podcasts!) Truly an amazing interview for any Artist told he or she couldn’t also be a Scientist and for any Scientist told he or she couldn’t also be an Artist. It’s a great “pep talk” for anyone thinking they have to choose between 2 different passions because guess what?! Spoiler Alert: “YOU CAN DO BOTH!” #MedicineRemixed #Art #Science
