220: The last-minute push for drug pricing reform, Alnylam's success, and Sarepta's gamble

Is drug pricing reform really happening this time? Are things finally turning around for biotech? And is it ever wise to tweet your food?

We also discuss the latest news in the life sciences, including some hotly anticipated data from Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, a $4 billion buyout deal, and other surprisingly good news for biotech.

The revolution in dementia care is just beginning

When Jason Karlawish started working with dementia patients in the late ’90s, there often wasn’t much he could offer them. “I gave them a diagnosis,” he told me on this week’s episode of the “First Opinion Podcast,” but had limited medications to prescribe. Now Karlawish — who is STAT’s Neurotransmissions columnist; a professor of medicine, medical ethics, health policy, and neurology at the University of Pennsylvania; co-director of the Penn Memory Center; and executive producer of the “Age of Aging” podcast — says a revolution is taking place in dementia care, thanks to diagnostics that are removing uncertainty and treatments that actually have some effect.

93: Rep. Raul Ruiz on going from the emergency room to Congress

Before he joined Congress, Rep. Raul Ruiz, a Democrat from California, worked in another chaotic environment: the emergency department. Today, he says, he tries to bring his background in medicine and public health to policymaking. In particular, he has turned his attention to a shortage of infectious disease physicians that threatens U.S. preparedness for the next pandemic. Our conversation was based on his recent First Opinion essay, “The infectious disease doctor shortage threatens future pandemic preparedness.” Don’t forget to sign up for the First Opinion newsletter to read each week’s best First Opinion essays.

Episode 2: Lauren Powell on the intersection of Covid-19 and racism

In June 2020, after George Floyd was killed by police in Minneapolis, Lauren Powell, who was then the executive director of Times Up Healthcare, wrote a searing essay for STAT's First Opinion. “My nightmare: Covid-19 meets racism meets the killing of a Black person by police." In this episode, Skerrett and Powell take a deep dive into that essay, talk about what it’s like coping with the Covid-19 pandemic in Richmond, Va., whether she took to the streets in the Black Lives Matter protests, and finding Black joy in the time of coronavirus.

52: A new hotline could save lives during mental health crises — if someone answers the phone

The roll out of a new mental health crisis line for the entire U.S., is scheduled to happen on July 16 — the blink of an eye in bureaucratic time. People in mental health crises or their family members will soon be able to dial 988, instead of 911 or the harder-to-remember 800-273-8255, the number for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. The thinking is that calls to 988 will route people to the care they need instead of to law enforcement or emergency personnel with limited training in working with people in the midst of mental health crises. This week on the "First Opinion Podcast," Benjamin Miller probes at some more concerns: Who will be answering the calls? And does the system have the capacity to take care of callers right away?
