My guest today is Dr. Richard Parker , Chief Medical Officer at Arcadia , an exciting venture focused on using "big data" to ensure the right information about care is delivered to the right patient when needed.

Fran Drescher once said, "Stage 1 is the cure." Not any longer. Medical technology and genetics have come so far these days that it's now possible never to get cancer in the first place. At least some cancers that is. No, we're not talking about "prevention" in the traditional sense. My in-studio guest Dr. Lishan Aklog and I talk about "pre-cancer," a condition where cells in your body that are at...

18 months, 72 episodes, countless Uncrustables references, and one global pandemic later, it’s time to retire the VAX ON segment and transform it into an even bigger segment on the Out of Patients podcast feed. There’s a whole world of opportunity outside of COVID fuckery waiting to be lauded, chastised, berated, heralded, castigated, and brazenly deconstructed. So join us as Matthew and Elur...

I learned a lot from my guest today, and I mean A LOT. For example, I had no idea that humans have something called the "Adaptive Immune System." Nor did I know — although I had my suspicions — why it seems that everyone is allergic to everything these days, yet, growing up in the 70s and 80s, no one was allergic to anything. My guest, Meenal Lele , host of the fantastic podcast " Fixing Sick...
