410: A father’s mission to save his daughter, and allegations on telehealth GLP-1 prescribing

The Readout Loud

[SPEAKER_A] Welcome to this week's episode of "The Readout LOUD," a weekly biotech podcast from STAT. I'm Allison DeAngelis.

[SPEAKER_B] And I'm Elaine Chen. Adam Forrestine is out this week.

[SPEAKER_A] It's Thursday, July 23rd, and on this week's episode, I speak with our colleagues Jason Mast and Matthew Herper about their impactful look at one father's mission to develop a treatment for his daughter's ultra-rare disease. The subject of that feature, a man named Matt Wilsey, also joins us to discuss.

[SPEAKER_B] We also discuss the latest news in life sciences, including a lawsuit between two major pharmaceutical companies and my investigation into a telemedicine provider's questionable GLP-1 prescribing practices.

[SPEAKER_A] All that's coming after a word from our sponsor.

[SPEAKER_C] I'm Jesse McCordes, STAT's branded content editor. I hope you can stick around at the end of this episode for a sponsored conversation with Jared Bateman. SVP and Virology Therapeutic Area Head at Gilead Sciences.

[SPEAKER_D] HIV carries deep stigma for individuals and across communities in so many parts of the world. The 052 results and the U=U movement thereafter were so much about science and about health, but they were about science and health for destigmatization, for breaking down discrimination, for empowering people to have healthy lives despite having HIV.

[SPEAKER_C] That's coming up later in this episode.

[SPEAKER_A] So Elaine, I got to tell you, for some reason, I have really been on a true crime kick this week. You know what I've been watching on Netflix? I've been watching the "Worst Neighbor Ever" series.

[SPEAKER_B] Oh, yes, I have heard of it.

[SPEAKER_C] Yeah.

[SPEAKER_A] Yeah.

[SPEAKER_B] Yeah.
