    Judy Chertok - Family & Community Medicine - Medical Murmurs - MSE - S01E12

    Family and Community Medicine Physician and Associate Professor at Penn, Dr. Judy Chertok in Ep 12 of Medical Murmurs Podcast, Medical Student Edition. Dr. Chertok talks about the richness of relationships in Family Practice, and how that drew her to the specialty. She was interested in many more specialized areas during medical school, but ultimately wanted the variety and flexibility that Family Medicine offered.    “I think in family medicine you have to be comfortable with ambiguity. You have to be comfortable, not necessarily knowing everything at that moment, being comfortable looking things up, being comfortable asking questions of colleagues, of specialists,of all kinds of people. And I think you have to really thrive on the variety and the unpredictability. And other than that, the qualities of a great family doctor I think are interpersonal skills. I think at the end of the day, much of what we do does come down to interpersonal skills.”   “When we look at applicants, we are really interested in people who have a commitment to service. . . .people who have had those experiences, people who've worked in free clinics or had other sorts of service oriented things. And so I think as a medical student, if you're interested in primary care, getting involved in those primary care experiences during medical school and first of all try it on for size, making sure that's something that you like.”

    Judy Chertok - Family & Community Medicine - Medical Murmurs - S01E11

    Family and Community Medicine Physician and Associate Professor at Penn, Dr. Judy Chertok in Ep. 11 of Medical Murmurs Podcast. Throughout her career she has been involved in providing care for those who are struggling. In medical school she co-founded a medical clinic for  homeless people  in Harlem, New York. Now she spends part of each week running a clinic for people with opioid addiction and opioid use disorder. She talks about some miraculous outcomes with the clinic’s team approach and suboxone.  “He’s living on the streets, he has Hepatitis C, he uses IV heroin every couple of hours. He’s really struggling . . . and now he is housed, in a relationship, he has a new job, he has a child. His life has been completely transformed.”    For Chertok, medicine is all about the relationships, and that is what drew her to family and community medicine. Chertok talks about the remarkable continuity across generations in family practice. “I did have a patient who I followed for seven years, and during this time I have cared for her children as well. And then when her child got pregnant, her child during the pregnancy as well as her granddaughter. So I take care of three generations of this family as well as actually my patient's mother often gets admitted to the hospital where I work. So I take care of her as well. So four generations of a family that I know really well. . . and unfortunately my patient, um, had an event where she ended up in the intensive care unit. And I was there with her family at the bedside the night before they withdrew care and I was at her funeral with her family after she passed.”

    Orthopedic Spine Surgeon Alex Vaccaro - Medical Murmurs - S01E21

    Dr. Alex Vaccaro is an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in spine surgery including traumatic spinal injuries. He is the Chair of Orthopedic Surgery at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia and the President of Rothman Orthopedics, one of the leading orthopedic institutions in the United States. We talk about the importance of hope. "So when his mom says to me, will my son walk again, I say, you know something, I don't know the answer to that, but I hope so because time will tell . . . I have patients come in who are paralyzed, but we've intervened early and I've seen miracles, I call it miracles because I've sent patients paralyzed that have walked out of rehab. "You know, you operate on someone, they become a family member. If you have a complication with a patient, they move into your house. I mean you, you have to make sure they're doing great." Dr. Vaccaro describes the measures Rothman is undertaking as the COVID-19 lockdowns are scaled back, and elective orthopedic and spine surgeries resume. "If you walk through the door, it's like a gauntlet. 'Hi, let me take your forehead temperature. Hi, let me take your pulse oximetry.' We test all the patients we operate on 48 hours before. So every patient gets tested. Potentially people are less likely to come out with a nosocomial illness now than six months ago with this much generalized precautions in place." Automated Transcript
