Sorry this is so late being posted. Doctor Anonymous Show 132 went pretty well - except that I wasn't able to get all the Christmas songs uploaded to the site. I just had the barking dogs with jingle bells - yeesh! For the first part of the show, I talked about some of the current event health/medicine stories of the week.
Then, for the 2nd half of the show, I talked about some not-so-serious news stories from the week. Our good friend "airplane" from the chat room called into the show to talk (thanks so much for calling in). As always, you can always listen to the show right here on the site by clicking the player above. Or, if you like, you can download the show and listen to it anytime by clicking here. Hope you're having a great week!
Thanks to much to Dr. Lisa for being my guest on Doctor Anonymous Show 131. We had a great conversation covering thinks like how she came to choose neonatology as a career, advances that have been made in the field of neonatology, and a recent trip to Mongolia. She has the blog "Call Me Dr. Lisa: Taking Life And Running With It."
We also discussed her life as a patient with liposarcoma in the ankle. She describes this vividly in her blog called "The Tale Of My Left Foot: My Journey Dealing With Liposarcoma In The Ankle." As I have heard from so many other people, the internet has made it possible for people with similar or the same disease conditions to create support networks - to show that there are other people out there with your disease - in this case - cancer.
Following the interview with Dr. Lisa, I talked a little about the blog post written by our good friend Dr. Rob entitled, "Real Life" in which he stated that he is taking a little break from blogging and social media for a while. I can definitely relate to that. You can listen to Show 131 in the player above. Or, if you like, you can download the show and listen anytime by clicking here. Also check out the video post above. Thanks for your continued support for the show!
For Doctor Anonymous Show 131, I'm happy to welcome the blogger "Dr. Lisa" to the show. She is a pediatrician - specifically a neonatologist - and she has two noted blogs that I encourage you to check out. The first is called "Call Me Dr. Lisa," and that one has some great pics of recent travels. The second blog talks about her life as a patient. That blog is called, "My Left Foot: My Journey Dealing With Liposarcoma In The Ankle." (Also check out my video promo above for this week's show)

I hope you can join us this week for Doctor Anonymous Show 131 when our guest will be the blogger who calls herself "Dr. Lisa." She has two great blogs I encourage you to check out. The first is called "Call Me Dr. Lisa: Taking life and running with it." She was recently on a trip to mongolia and the excerpt below is from a post called "Mongolian Ingenuity."
The other day Monica and I were doing some teaching with the Mongolian doctors and nurses about hand hygeine and central line care. We were trying to make the point that careful attention to infection control could make a huge difference for them. An interesting conversation to have in a hospital that doesn't have toilet paper and in which it takes an act of congress to wash your hands. They did at least have alcohol gel readily available throughout. But I digress,
A baby returned from the operating room after getting a colostomy for imperferate anus. We were busily documenting the way they transported the baby with a pillow filled with oxgen that they squeezed to fill the mask they were using to bag the baby. Crazy...
Amira, my translator, hooking the oxygen pillow up for transport. Then they got the baby in his isolette and began to set up his ostomy. They were attaching a latex looking thing with a dam of sort that they tied to the skin. I looked at Monica and said "is that a.." She replied "female condom, yep!" There you go they had attached ties to a female condom and were using it as a colostomy bag. Brilliant really...
The second blog I encourage you to check out is called "Tale Of My Left Foot: My Journey Dealing With Liposarcoma In The Ankle." Below is the part of the very first posting of this blog, simply entitled, "Hello Blog:" (from 12/13/2006)
My friend Kim of the House of Prince convinced me to start a blog to chronicle the story of my left foot. Otherwise, known as the trials of tribulations of fighting cancer in the ankle. I am not sure that I'll be any good at blogging, but at least I'll be able to keep people updated about what is going on. So, here goes we'll see if this works for me.
Every so often someone newly diagnosed with a sarcoma finds my blog and I sometimes get emails commenting on how my story ends before the beginning. For those few of you who might find this and want to read it. One year after learning my diagnosis I wrote about it here.
So, I hope you can join us on Thursday, December 3rd, 2009 at 9pm Eastern Time for Doctor Anonymous Show 131. In case you didn't know, in addition to the live podcast, there is a chat room, a webcam of me, and your ability to call into the show to say hello. Hope you can join us this week for the show!
What you'll see below is a video from the beginning of the Thanksgiving show and a video from the end of the show. Just thought you would find it interesting to "see the magic happen" from a different point of view. Enjoy!
In the video above, you'll see me doing a 3-4 minute interview on local TV talking about the recently announced updated guidelines when it comes to screening for breast cancer and cervical cancer. Something I really found out during the prep for this interview was that I probably tried to tackle too much material in a short interview.
Plus, as you'll see above, I do get a little flustered when asked a couple of questions by the anchor. The point of the interview you'll see in the last 30 seconds or so - which is to talk to your doctor about these guidelines to see what will be the best in your case. Hope this short interview is helpful to you. If so, I invite you to check out some other interviews I've done by clicking over to MikeSevilla.TV.
I have to tell you that I had a great time with Doctor Anonymous Show 130. It was a very different show for me in that I did not open a chat room and I did not use the web cam. It was weird in that I'm used to getting that instant gratification during a show by the comments in the chat room.
The content of the show had to do - of course - with Thanksgiving. There was very little medicine talked about for Show 130. I talked a little about the background of Thanksgiving, travel, the meal, shopping, and other stuff. I closed the show reading an article by Charisma Madarang entitled "Why I Love Thanksgiving."
If you haven't already, I invite you to check out the video post above talking about my thoughts right after the show. As always, you can listen to the show in the player above. Or, if you like, you can download the show and listen to it anytime by clicking here. I have a lot to be thankful for this year - including your continued support of my blog and my show. I very much appreciate it!
Let me ask you a question. Do you already need a break from your family and in-laws on this Thanksgiving eve? Are you going to be traveling tonight and looking for something entertaining to listen to on your mobile device? Well, have I got a deal for you!
In an unusual Wednesday night show, I'll be having my pre-Thanksgiving party and you are invited! There will be very little medicine talked about on the show tonight. (Of course, you can also check out the video above from the previous show number 129) It's all going to be about Thanksgiving. I'll share some news stories from this week along with some of my memories of Thanksgivings past.

I know I had a great time with Show 129. I briefly covered some news stories including ones about the newly announced mammogram guidelines, the newly announced cervical cancer screening guidelines, and a brief N1N1 update. The 2nd half of the show was a visit from our good friend Kim who is going to be moving from the Pacific Northwest to the Midwestern United States just in the next few days.

Hope that you can join me tonight for show number 129. It definitely will not be as serious as Show 128 when I was talking about the new mammogram guidelines. However, I will be covering just a couple of medical/health related news stories during the show tonight including the new guidelines announced for cervical cancer screening. I'll also have an H1N1 update for your and some other not-so-serious news stories from the week.
