Emergency Medicine Remix EMR

Hip Hop, Hypocrites, and Health Equity.

We would like to introduce to some and reintroduce to others: Dr. Italo Brown.
Health equity and Hip Hop. Yeah, it's a thing. Dr. Brown is a rising giant in emergency medicine and health equity. His audience ranges from the White House, NIH, Stanford, and the streets of LA. I hope you enjoy this enlightening conversation as much as we did. Note: You know we like to remix things. So, we started this episode with a cold opener. We open our chat with a candidly honest discussion about hip hop, fashion, hypocrisy and humanity. We can rise above our problems, when we humbly admit them, big or small.
 This episode was recorded 1 week prior to the slaying of Migos member, Takeoff. May he, his loved ones, and all others who lose their lives to violence find peace.

Gang culture in Healthcare, The Hood, and Beyond.

East vs West, North vs South, Biggie, Pac, Masks, Vaccines...

“Gang Mentality” is bigger than the streets. And at some level, we are ALL, gang affiliated. It’s almost always a matter of health and more often than not, life and death. We fight to stand our ground, claim our set and rep our hood. But, do we fight to share our common ground?
