Episode 212: preventing multimorbidity, high dose vit D, skin cancer screening, and withdrawing a GLP-1

Primary Care Update

Welcome to Episode 212 of Primary Care Update. I'm Mark Ebell, a professor of family medicine at Michigan State University and editor-in-chief of Essential Evidence Plus. I'm Kate Rowland, family physician and associate professor at Rush University. I'm Gary Frenchik, general internist and professor of medicine at Michigan State University. Hi, I'm Henry Barry, a family physician and one of the originators of poems. I just have two stellar comments to make today.

The first is that Kate and I had a great day in French Lick last week. The audience, incredible group of individuals who asked great questions, made great comments, and I love their interaction. And I just wanted to reflect a little bit that during their town hall meeting every year they have Dr. Lindsey Weaver, who is the chief medical officer for the Indiana Department of Health.

And she usually gives an update on outbreaks, including the recent parasite outbreak and what's happening with Ebola and the like. But there's an interaction that they have where they troubleshoot implementation around vaccine strategies and sexually transmitted infections and things of that nature. And I just love to watch them interact together.

It just shows the importance of what family medicine is to the world of public health. The second stellar thing is that coming up on August 12th is a solar eclipse. It's only going to be about 10 to 15 percent in the northeastern U.S. But if you're going to go to Iceland or Greenland or other places, just don't forget to wear those special glasses.

And I've posted a link to the American Astronomical Society's list of filters that you can use. Thanks, Henry. Keep those keep those eyes safe. Unlike I think that didn't Trump stare up into it once? Yes.
