mark siegle, professor of medicine at nyu langone medical center.reat to see yo let's start with the system. overall there are some systems that are terrific, some v.a. hospitals, but across the country, this looks like just a disaster. >> let's start with what it is. the v.a. system is a form of socialized medicine. why? because the government hires the doctors. it builds the hospital. and it hires the nurses. it sets the standard of care. now, if you're on a salary, lou, it might not surprise you to know that the amount of care is variable. there's no incentives. there's no one saying you see more patients, faster, you do a better job, we pay you more, that's not so. i've worked in v.a. hospitals and i am here to tell you that the care is variable. there are some heroes there and there's plenty of slackers there. it's variable. and no matter what is being said right now, this system cannot be fixed easily. most veterans -- >> i have to tell you t only places i've been, they have worked like heroes to me and the people taking care of our veterans h

steve cohen, ken langone, staun drunkenmiller are interested in rights, is right a security. you fund the lawsuit. defray -- melissa: that is quite a cast of characters piling on. this. >> this is good story. melissa: it is a good story. >> they all attend ad march 6th meeting conducted by hank and david boies, his high-profile attorney. david boies went through the case. here is why we think we have a shot. this case survived several attempts by the government to dismiss it. it won class-action status. boyce won the right to depose ben bernanke, tim geithner, hank paulson, all the government officials that are essentially around the bailouts which we have reviewed those depositions. melissa: does it help you or hurt you to have steve cohen? >> that is a great question. melissa: maybe he should be a silent investor. >> let me point out two things. hank hasn't decided whether to go forward with this. they're interested in investing. hank and steve share the same lawyer. david boies is both of their lawyers. here is what we have here. listen, the next step is hank's. does he op

. >> it does strike me when i've lad occasi had occasion to mingle, interview, be around the ken langonesd, home depot ceo, big mover and shaker in republican donor circles, that there's a certain -- you know, these are people that kind of came of age in reagan period and have this appetite for kind of reaganesque foreign policy that's muscular if nothing else. and there is a kind of war wariness among the base and wonder sometimes if those come into tension with each other. kelly ann? >> i think there's room for all of those views, and the fact is that i actually think instead of playing the blame game as many are doing these days with respect to iraq, and whether to two back in or not, looking at the polls which is my stock and trade, many americans do not think we belong back in iraq. >> no, it's about -- >> they wonder -- it's a pretty partisan number at this point which is very telling, chris. since phil mentioned rand paul, i think 2016 is going to be a huge test on how much his emerging foreign policy views have weighed among the base and young people. >> that's the thing i'm reall

there would not be a langone medical center if it were not for langone. >> i agree. >> we have to admit we don't want the high end to accrue wealth rike that because they're incredibly philanthropic. it would be better if we took the low end and brought it up. otherwise, how could you do that? how can you cap income at $500,000 and pay 80% taxes on anything above that? that is redistribution and it doesn't allow for wealth creation and it would be counterproductive to trying to help everyone rise, rise up. and that is why -- i was actually thinking about this last night, that you asked me how do i come up with this stuff? i think all day long about things to talk to you about. and i think you're thinking about your column or something. but i think you're thinking about on the one hand, you think about income equality and on the other, you think about like a 1%er or vacation or something. that's what i -- right? >> no, no, no. what was that place? >> that's darchbt argume differ argument. >> what is your argument? >> i say it's misframed so we need to lift the bottom half up. that's clea

art caplan is a bioethicist at nyu langone medical center. >> the doctor can ska ka joel persuade, argue fetus in trouble, against the will of the mother. >> she would like to grow her family of three boys but she says given birth scares her now. >> to be treated this way. >> she also says her bladder was harmed in the c-section delivery and she's seeking unspecified damages. >> very complicated case on both sides. i was struck by the lawyer who said you cannot stick a knife in a woman if she says no. what's the doctor to do though when he feels that something is dangerous? >> right. well, you know, in her case again, we haven't heard from the hospital and i really appreciate her sharing her story with us so we don't know what the doctors actually thought at that time. regardless, a doctor can talk about risks, a doctor could say i believe you're in harm's way, i believe the baby's in harm's way, i believe a c-section is the right thing to do but ultimately the mother has the choice to consent to the surgery or not. >> and she didn't want it in this case. >> and she made it clear it soun

elizabeth hale is a doctor at the langone medical university.this was a study on mice but how did they tell they were addicted to the sun? >> the study was published yesterday and basically the scientist took mice shaved them and exposed them to intense uv exposure that was equivalent to about 20 to 30 minutes of midday florida sun. they found that within one week the beta endorphin levels rose. endorphins are natural feel-good hormones proud by the brain. they're like natural produced opiates. after those levels raised they gave them an opiate-blocking drug and those mice went into physiologic withdrawal. they started shaking, trembling, having teeth chatters. the same signs and symptoms we see in heroin addicts when we block their opiate recenters. >> how does that translate to people? >> the same pathway of uv raising endorphins occurs in humans as well. but what's really important is what i see in real life. some of my own patients even if they have already had skin cancer, are still coming in so tan. it's like how many times can i tell you

julie capiola, pediatrician at langone medical center. thank you so much for being here.eart goes out to you. how are you feeling six years on now after the death of joshua? how are you coping? >> well, every day -- this is the anniversary, it was yesterday. so he actually passed away on the 4th. but the drowning was on the 1st. so every day, we miss him desperately. >> blake, what do you hope people take away from this? what good do you want to come out of the death of your young son? >> well, you've heard the statistics. i didn't know the statistics were that drastic until after we started researching the problem. and we felt like we had to get involved and try to create more awareness, get more people involved, get children in the swimming pool as early as possible and educate kids as early as possible that water is fun, we all have to have it to survive, to drink, to bathe, but it can also be deadly and we want people to be aware of that fact. >> and you've done an amazing job of that. doctor, part of your role is educating people as well. there's something called sec

natalie azar is an assistant professor of medicine and rheumatology at nyu langone medical center. >>that assumption is completely correct. it is common sense that the first couple of appointments of the day are probably your best bet, that the doctor hasn't already fallen behind. three most common reasons the doctor is going to get behind, we do have real emergencies. something that i call the unexpected complicated visit. at the end of the visit, the patient suddenly says, by the way, i've been having chest pain. that doesn't wait until the next appointment. you have to address that. and patients run late themselves, right? so if a patient is running ten to 15 minutes late, it bumps everybody else back. another time that might make sense for people is maybe in the evening, it definitely is more convenient to work around a patient's schedule. but doctors who see patients all day long are going to be exhausted by the end of the day. you're just not going to get that same energy and attention unless they set aside evening hours. >> that's a good one. how about this one. try to avoid el
