Healthcare at the Midterms, a CVS Divorce, and the NFL’s CTE Problem

Friday, November 6, 2026 In today's episode, Dr. Will Flanary (@drglaucomflecken) & Adam Rose (@adjoro) cover a new JAMA Network Open estimate that 74.5 percent of deceased former NFL players had CTE after correcting for brain bank selection bias. They break down how researchers modeled donation bias and why the finding still cannot estimate risk for living players. They also dig into how the NFL and players association responded and what it means for counseling patients on head injury risk. Plus: they also discuss the 2026 midterm election results in which several doctors won their races, CVS splitting up, a major dialysis trial that stopped early, and more.

Medicare's $50 GLP-1 Program, an Altered Drug Trial & Cyclospora's 18-State Spread

Friday, July 10, 2026 In today's episode, Dr. Will Flanary / Dr. Glaucomflecken (@drglaucomflecken) & Eva Johnson cover the retraction of the Advocate trial after FDA reviewers found the avacopan (Tavneos) dataset was unblinded, re-adjudicated, and altered before being relocked, throwing its approval for ANCA-associated vasculitis into doubt. They break down Medicare's new GLP-1 Bridge program, which offers eligible Part D beneficiaries drugs like Wegovy and Zepbound at $50 a month through the end of 2027, and why that copay sits outside normal Part D accounting. They also track a Cyclospora outbreak now reported across 18 states and why routine washing does not reliably kill it.

FDA Approves mRNA Flu Shot and AI Learns to Build Viruses

Friday, August 14, 2026 In today's episode, Adam Rose (@adjoro) & Dr. Alok Patel (@alokpatelmd) cover the FDA's landmark approval of Moderna's first mRNA flu vaccine for adults. They break down the phase-three trial showing the mRNA shot produced fewer confirmed influenza cases than standard vaccines, and what a complicated insurance landscape means for access this flu season. Plus: researchers at the Arc Institute fed millions of viral DNA sequences to a language model. It wrote new genomes that had never existed in nature, and sixteen of them came to life in the lab. Then, they look at a new narcolepsy drug targeting the underlying orexin deficiency, a Salmonella outbreak linked to jalapeños spreading through 27 states, and over 2,400 measles cases putting U.S. elimination status in jeopardy.

Hospital Detox Shakeup and NFL Star Sidelined

Friday, October 23, 2026 In today's episode, Dr. Alok Patel (@alokpatelmd) & Adam Rose (@adjoro) cover a phase three trial of nicotinamide riboside in early Parkinson disease. Over 52 weeks, the supplement boosted NAD metabolism but showed no clinical benefit, raising questions for NAD boosting strategies. They also walk through a large hospital comparison of phenobarbital and diazepam for alcohol withdrawal, with similar stays and ventilation rates and fewer self directed discharges on phenobarbital, and why diazepam protocols may stay the course pending randomized trials. Plus: they also discuss national measles trends, FDA warning letters to Amazon and Walmart, and more.

Missed Diagnoses in History Part II: Joan of Arc and King George the III

In this episode of historical psychiatric diagnoses we continue the “arc” (get it) with the story of a young girl with vivid hallucinations who galvanized the French army and a wise king who lost his sanity late in life. The interesting thing about these cases, however, is that they may have more underlying medical issues and in fact, the psychospiritual and somatic issues of the past are just as intertwined as they are today. Even to the point where we have to correct ourselves and realize that we may have been calling these incorrectly for a while.

Psychiatric Roots in Greek Mythology

Will AI Replace Your Doctor? Replicants and "Robo-proxies" with Dr. Jacob Appel

In this episode of Psychiatry Boot Camp, Dr. Mark Mullen continues his conversation with Dr. Jacob Appel, covering two intersecting frontiers. The replacement of human physicians by AI "replicants" and the emerging use of AI as a surrogate decision-maker, or "robo-proxy," for patients who lack decisional capacity. Dr. Appel argues that while AI will outperform human physicians in probabilistic, pattern-recognition tasks, it is structurally incapable of providing the authentic empathy, shared vulnerability, common sense, and irrational human trust that constitute the actual substance of healing and that deploying replicant physicians at scale will produce a deeply inequitable two-tiered healthcare system where wealthy patients see humans and less wealthy patients see machines. The second half of the episode addresses the coming reality of AI robo-proxies where patients appoint chatbots as their legal healthcare proxy to make decisions in the event of incapacity. Dr. Appel outlines four models by which this might occur, then catalogs the serious structural problems each presents. His closing advice is disarmingly simple. Write your advance directive the old-fashioned way, on paper, and tell someone you love what you want. Takeaways: AI performs well at tasks requiring 90–95% accuracy but medicine often demands near-certainty, and the "negative outcome penalty paradox" means physicians face increased liability whether they follow AI recommendations that turn out to be wrong or override them when the AI turns out to be right. Authentic emotional support, not simulated empathy, is a core component of healing. The deployment of replicant physicians at scale will create a two-tiered system in which those who can afford to will see human doctors while the majority of patients will be increasingly funneled toward AI-driven care. AI "robo-proxies" present profound legal and ethical problems as surrogate decision-makers. Until legal frameworks are built around robo-proxies, physicians who follow a robo-proxy's instructions over a family's objection face serious liability exposure regardless of whether the law ultimately supports the decision.

ACA Enrollment Collapse, India's Chemo Crisis, & Amy Adams' Canceled CBS Show

Friday, July 3, 2026 In today's inaugural episode, Dr. Will Flanary / Dr. Glaucomflecken (@drglaucomflecken) & Dr. Alok Patel (@alokpatelmd) cover a sharp drop in ACA marketplace enrollment after enhanced tax credits expired, from 24.2 million enrollees in 2025 to roughly 19.2 million in 2026 (a loss of 5 million Americans' health coverage). India is rationing two cornerstone chemotherapy drugs, cisplatin and carboplatin, after supply disruptions tied to rising platinum costs and capped essential medicine prices. A new Annals of Internal Medicine study finds older adults who received a shingles vaccine had a 24 percent lower relative risk of dementia diagnosis. Plus: heat linked to rising suicide rates in young people, the return of the 988 LGBTQ+ crisis line, and a phase 3 trial of infigratinib for achondroplasia.
