Honest to goodness…so much to talk about today! Dr. Souryal is joined by Dr. Brad Bellard and Dr. Scott Blumenthal for a wide-ranging conversation on sports, medicine, and current events. Our first caller has worker’s compensation struggles, then Dr. Scott Blumenthal explains the treatment and recovery process for a herniated disc, and the relation between business and medicine weaves through the whole show. Another caller asks if artificial disc replacement might be a good option for him, a biker’s neck pain travels to his right hand, a 15 year old soccer player had an ACL repair and later a patellar dislocation and her father asks what to do next for this rare injury combination. An avid weightlifter has stingers on his right arm in his sleep and on his bike, but not at the gym and wonders what kind of doctor he should see first. Then we finally get to The Business of Medicine as the doctors discuss some situations where doctors can be reimbursed more for an inferior procedure or equipment from insurance than the option that works well for patients, ending with observations on the efficacy of stem cell procedures.

Keeping it real, Folks!

With heavy hearts in the wake of the tragic shootings in downtown Dallas this week, Doctors Souryal, Bellard, and Blumenthal express their sorrow at the start of the show and callers add their insights about strength in diversity, pain, and growth in our country.

Later the doctors explain thoracic outlet syndrome in depth, the breakdown of joints due to arthritis, the pros and cons of knee replacement, and discuss the time, knowledge, commitment, and passion it takes to become a surgeon. A medical student asks if his path will be worth the years of study and expense. An athlete and nurse has questions about stem cell regeneration for humans- a process she has used for her horses. A 20 year old has had many knee injuries and subsequent arthritis and would like to know how to reduce his pain.

Ending on a positive note, Dr. Souryal calls for support for all those who run toward danger to help our society. Let’s move forward.

Dr. T.O. Souryal and Dr. Brad Bellard have thoughts to share about L2M, referee standards, Maria Sharapova, the disconnect in communication between doctors and patients, the crumbling pedestal that the modern Olympics rests on, Quidditch, Dressage, and so much more. This is all just in the first hour.

The first caller had a knee injury a year ago, still has swelling and pain, and needs an MRI for a clear diagnosis. A former NFL player has had six surgeries on his right knee and is considering a knee replacement. He wants to know how long it could last and how it will impact his activity. Good questions!

In the second hour, we have a very special guest: award-winning sportswriter and NBC analyst Alan Abrahamsson. He calls in from LA to give an informed perspective on the Maria Sharapova tribunal decision, doping controversies, and the cloud that hangs over the Rio Olympics. Lots going on, lots to get to!

A special episode in tribute to the passing of Muhammad Ali, three-time World Heavyweight Champion boxer and civil rights champion as well as a conscientious objector and active humanitarian. Listeners call in to share their recollections of and admiration for The Greatest, while Dr. Souryal fields listeners’ sports medicine questions, from all over the map! Like – what is Turf Toe? A Farrier has a knee problem, a very tall fourteen year old has more than growing pains, an older gent has neck pain that isn’t going away, a caller shares a knee replacement success story, and another has gout that affects his activity.

In the second hour, we keep to honoring the extraordinary life of Muhammad Ali, and also answering a mixed bag of queries. Dr. Souryal explains the next steps for a woman who hurt her back doing Cross Fit, a 75 year old man asks what to do about shoulder pain that wakes him up at night and there is a reflux issue. A 59 year old oil field worker also has a shoulder issue, another caller with RA and a knee problem wants to know what to do while waiting for his specialist appointment that is weeks away, and a caller wonders why his lower arms go to sleep while he sleeps. Post-back surgery, a man is left in excruciating pain- what to do? A basketball player wonders how to manage a knuckle injury, and still play and the show ends with a random weird shoulder problem. Yep- this episode may be a mélange, a gallimaufry, a medley, or goulash. Still, it is a good one!

Spring is in the air and the big topic is the NFL draft. Then Dr. Souryal gets right to the the popping phone lines to answer question after question. A 58 year old had surgery on his foot two months ago and asks the criteria for choosing a good rehab facility. There are many questions on rehab and pain relief and as always, getting a clear diagnosis before deciding on any treatment is Job #1. Forty five years after football injuries in college, a caller has questions about fusing joints to relieve his post traumatic arthritis. Another listener had a disc replacement in his neck but still has numbness in his fingers. He wonders if and when feeling may return. A very active man with two broken ankles is getting ankle fusions and also asks the differences between getting advice from an orthopedist or a podiatrist. A 35 year old driver may have an “-itis” of some sort. A 38 year old has had a second kneecap dislocation and lives with a lot of pain while he waits to decide on a surgery, so the doc gets a chance to describe the difference between pain management and stability issues. In the very last segment, Dr. Brad Bellard chimes in on which level of football he likes the best – NFL, collegiate, or high school? This may be contentious, or controversial!
