medical marijuana patients have self-medicated for years, anxious to get relief but with very littleuidance on how to do so. that's something that concerns the wilsons. >> i don't know if they know how to grow these types of strains. >> these are just people who have connections that got a dispensary. >> by early october 2013, there was only one dispensary open in the entire state. they don't sell a high cbd strain. the wilsons believe it could be at least a year before they will. that's a year vivian might not have. >> every seizure does damage to her brain, to her body, everything. how much longer do we wait? >> they've got to do something. not ready to move, they want to still try it. so they're going to leave their familiar neighborhood behind to see firsthand if the marijuana they've heard so much and could help vivian. >> do you think this is going to work? >> for me it has to work. because if it doesn't, i don't know where that leaves us. >> just days later, vivian wilson gets ready for the trip of a lifetime, a trip filled with danger since all the stimulation would induce se

multiple medications, a dry mouth can be a side effect of many medications. but it can also lead to tooth decay and bad breath. that's why there's biotene, available as an oral rinse, toothpaste, spray or gel. biotene can provide soothing relief and it helps keep your mouth healthy too. remember, while your medication is doing you good, a dry mouth isn't. biotene, for people who suffer from a dry mouth. >>> inside the sheriff al cannon detention center, deangelo toomer is awaiting trial on a burglary charge. he has just been sent so disciplinary segregation for allegedly threatening an officer who had ordered him to take down the pictures on his cell wall. >> i came to lockup for refusing to obey. that was the initial charge. then another officer, he tried to come back with another charge 45 minutes later saying that i allegedly tried to threaten him. which is bogus. >> after speaking to other staff members, the disciplinary committee felt they could not substantiate the threat and dismissed it. >> wanted me to escort you out. i need you right here, sir. >> b

beneficiaries and this again does not effect the 5400 new medical lives or the 1500 medical lives, it was a mathematical error, and we knew that a certain number of people were transitioning into medical already and we didn't want cpmc to be able to use that number and we are meeting the 540 but that number was double counted, about 250 over. >> and so issues outside of the development agreement. i know that there still remains concerns about the lack of skilled nursing beds in the future plans for cpmc, the skilled nursing beds were part of an agreement that the health commission had with the cpmc early on, and those agreements were the foundation of the healthcare elements of the agreement but in the negotiations, the skilled nursing facility beds did not make it through to the end and so that was certainly a concern of the commission and the commission recently passed our health commission passed a resolution, noting that the reduction of the skilled beds will be detrimental to the city but it is not an element of the development agreement and not enforcement under the agreement an

there is the money to have conflict free contains medical -- continue willing -- continuing medical education so there really isn't a need to take from drug companies. so this is very challenging and i think there's a real issue with the transparency around the specific issue because it's not clear that disclosure helps us much in this issue. the audience often says it's great that they are being honest about their disclosures. or or they are really an expert because they get money from five different pharmaceutical companies. or it just ends up being a brand recognition, and kind of guerrilla advertising. so it's really challenging to make this work and i don't think there are good solutions other than really us as a profession paying for cme and not relying on industry financing. >> by the way we have a list of pharma free continuing medical education on our web site. >> i feel like we have talked a lot about pharma as a part of the sunshine act and it also covers medical devices where there are strong industry ties. there's required training sometimes by the fda to use it particular medica

so yes you pick up 30 to 40% with the first medication but you pick up a little more on the next medication trial and after you have tried two or three you add them to each other. so sometimes you're using augmenting agents and by the end of the day i say most of mispatients get better. sometimes it takes a while but that study that says they're no better than a sugar pill doesn't take into account going into beyond an eight, week trial. let's add psych therapy to this. let's try different combinations add cognitive behavioral therapy. how effective? very effective. >> host: are most mental illnesses biological environmental? >> guest: i think we have come to see most mental illnesses as biological. the problem is we don't have the biology pinpointed. a lot of people who criticize psychiatrist you say there's chemical imbalances but what are they? we don't know yet. it's because we don't know yet not because they don't exist. we have a lot of reasons to think they're biological. for one thing they run in families and you can say that environment, too but they run in families even if you loo

you we will get the sense -- a lot of people have a tough time taking medication as they should. how have you been doing with it. there is amazing disconnect or alienation with one set of vocabulary. when you phrased things a certain way talk talk about end-of-life issues, it almost invites a conversation. >> there are two things i think i think we are missing. words matter, and the stories matter and part of even writing a book like this and doing the kind of investigation i did was deliberately a journalistic investigation. i was less interested in taking out the details and nuances and complexities and make it so when you do a randomized trial you remove all the detail and look at only what everyone has in common. what we do and a careful case study is recognize that the stories are really powerful and tell you a lot about experiences of the body, experiences of elvis and in this case the experience of mortality. mortality. and i think we are increasingly willingness to recognize that those are just as important contributions to knowledge and our skilled professionals. >> i th

the members there have taught me how to correctly medicate so i don't miss medicate anymore and that helps me. if they were loud -- allowed to operate in the excelsior it would be great for me and my other neighbors. thank you. >> public speaker: good evening everyone. i'm a lifelong resident of the community and i went to high school there and i have been a member of the spark community for a year 1/2 and as a neighbor of the proposed project i'm excited to be here and speak on the project. as a young 19-year-old man i'm able to make this commute. this is not the reality for a great deal of my fellow spark patients for whom i'm here to represent. many of them suffer many complicated impairments. it's the cannabis dispensary in san francisco. the majority of sparks patients are from here in our city. many are not able to make it to this place. it's a necessity for the quality of life. >> as the next speaker comes up, i will call more names. >> public speaker: my name is jamie baca. i live in the neighborhood mission where spark is at. i'm from ohio and marijuana is still illegal. i'm

stephanie harman, medical director of the medical patient care service.atie butler author of "knocking on heaven's door." i want to begin with you, tony, how is aide in dieing defined? >> it's a specific end of life option among many options available in many states that mentally competent terminally ill patients so they can get a prescription for medication that will help them end their dieing process should that process become unbearable or before they lose ontonomy. >> do they have to be reviewed by doctors that all agree they have less than six months to live and they're all in final critical stages. >> it doesn't always mean you have a terminal prognosis. what we're looking at here is when you get to the point in your illness that you're really entering the final stages it is typically about the same time people would be referred to hospice. do they want medication to help end their dieing process if necessary. >> so there is five states where this is legal, are you working with other states to legalize death with dignity laws. >> yes the first was p

it's not an issue that the medication impairs your ability to play. fly. certainly some medications that impair your ability to fly but you would think that if pain medicines or muscle relaxers. it's not limited -- or even allergy medicines make people sleepy. but i think the fear is that if somebody could potentially be mentally unstable they shouldn't be flying an airplane. >> host: is addiction and mental illness? >> guest: it depends on whether you are an insurance company. so, if you are the diagnostic and statistical yes addiction is a mental illness. if you're an insurance company who, somehow the treatment of addiction has been parsed out separately so you cannot be admitted to psychiatric a psychiatric unit with a primary diagnosis of a addiction come a substance abuse disorder typically goes to someone in a detox unit or rehab unit. you have to have another illness like depression or bipolar disorder or some type of anxiety and usually anxiety disorders can't get admitted to inpatient units. >> host: due to think personally that addiction is a me

it's a huge operation to obtain medical education and in general. you could say that's a failure of the profession to reach out to advocacy organizations to learn about these health issues like alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency and to really educate providers about this. i would not necessarily say that becomes a justification for getting funding from medication manufacturers or device manufacturers. i think that we want to know about these things but we also want to empower patients to ask simple questions that can be very powerful. the same way i said either other treatment options? what are the pros and cons of those? every patient should be empowered to ask their provider either other diagnoses that we should be thinking about? i been suffering with these symptoms for a long time. i don't feel like i have a good handle on what's going on. are there other things we should be considering? i think having an activated patient is often the key to solving these issues and can be applicable across a lot of rare diseases not necessarily one specific one. >

one-third are in the medical field, mostly nurses. the profile was a remarkable portrait of tanya reid, including the fact she was a nurse. >> that's not really a surprise because if you were going to go to a physician and make up something about your child, if you knew nothing about medicine whatsoever, it would be harder to make any kind of a convincing story, whereas if you have some sort of nursing background or health background of some sort and you go to the physician, you might be able to lie about something more convincingly. >> and investigators were suspicious because no one other than tanya had ever witnessed either of her children having a seizure. >> i was the one that was always there. in circumstances, yeah, but i think any woman whose husband works and she stays home and takes care of the kids, it's going to happen that way. >> the polk county juvenile court determined that michael was at risk living with his mother, and he was turned over to foster care. for the next two months, michael had no seizures at all. but pro

i've had clients in the last couple of months they can't afford medication or some medications are not available. they're waiting for medication so they can take it as part of their anti-retro viral cocktails. i think if we don't look at systemic issues, the hiv in the south, i don't know if much will change. >> if this is not a silver bullet, is there an ideal answer given the nature of the risk where it may be introduced first as a way of piloting this and learning some lessons before moving forward? if you're right now not hiv positive but you're sexually active, who should be on truvada. >> well, i think we need to retune the conversation. i think its possible that pre-exposure prophylaxis is something as talked about earlier might work in the future. but having to take 365 pills does not seem like a really good idea. just as an example i think it was mentioned earlier that the anti-retro viral therapy has been around for a while, but less than 30% of people in this country are virally repressed. we have to work on the idea that people are going to take this medication every day. t

i was taking an inhaler, nasal spray, an asthma medication, and an allergy medication every morning andvery night. after using the nutribullet rx for about 10 days, i started to see, like, huge results. like, i wasn't as itchy, i wasn't as inflamed. i stopped taking the medication slowly. i stopped with the inhaler first 'cause my asthma started to go away. and then solely by 2weeks of using the nutribullet rx, i wasn't taking any medication. my eye isn't swelling. like, it's literally night and day. this is really good. i'm just, like -- i feel healthy. i am healthy. >> life, for me, was good till i was diagnosed in may with breast cancer. and then they told me i need to do chemo. but i did not want to lose weight, and i didn't want to scare my children looking sickly and ill. so that's when i decided i'm gonna put the right stuff in my body with the nutribullet. the nutribullet rx is really simple to use. you set it on there. it does the work for you. it made me feel good inside and out. and i didn't lose weight, and i wasn't sick through chemo. i'm a firm believer in the nutribullet

somebody getting psychotherapy how we think about when to prescribe medications, how we choose what medications to prescribe, what happens when someone goes into the hospital and then there are a couple of chapters on specifically forensic issues. one on civil forensic issues and one on criminal forensic issues and we use the same character for both. he was a troubled child who grew up to become a criminal and does well in the end of the chapter. >> host: dr. miller how sophisticated our the psychotherapeutic drugs that are used today? >> guest: how sophisticated? that's not a word i would choose choose. >> host: ineffective. >> guest: effective that's a better word. if you read "the new york times" or follow the news you will read stories that say antidepressants are little better than placebos for severe depression but for mild and may be mild to moderate depression they are not much better than placebos. they are 30 to 40% effective which is the same as you would get from a sugar pill. what the studies don't tell you is that this is a study that looks at people are given a sugar pill versus

in the case of continuing medical education, it is an ongoing conversation. it's something we is warranting further conversation that we are not leading the charge let's go there right now particularly because of the complexity. we talk about journal articles and that's one where the ability of a manufacture provides journal articles to providers out there and whether or not that should be reported. it's one that you and i spent time on and that's a challenging one absolutely but ultimately i am comfortable with sitting down with my provider and asking about a payment showing up in the database and having her tell me that this is related to learning more about this condition, which you don't have but another patient may have and that is why that was there. there are choices. it's to not take it, to take it and report it, or to purchase it on your own. those are legitimate choices and providers have the opportunity to make those and then the reports go to the database and the patients can ask. we continue to believe that's totally legitimate and legal and atta

transactions, and the medical community argues, rightly, w that they are legal.at we're not talking about things that should -- that are illegal, or types of kickbacks. these are particularly related oftentimes to education. and that for doctors to take their time to be engaged in the educational process for themselves and for their peers you know, is in the patient interest. and so these transactions are occurring around those types of things. and so, if you look at how you approach this as a matter of legislation, now some people could come to this with a very purist approach. an absolutist approach. that we should make these types of transactions illegal. that's not the way we approached it p working with senator cole's office of wisconsin. we looked at it from more of a transparency perspective. that if these transactions remain legal and we believe that they should, then they should be reported and made available to the public. since they are legal transactions after all that there should be no qualms about making them publicly available. making them so that

when i entered medical school, my first or in medical 97 in that year as you might remember was the yearthe fda changed its regulations regarding broad cast advertising for prescription drugs. but the kinks haven't been fully worked out at that point. your might remember the advertising for claritin, which was heavily marketed at the time. it was really brand-new at the time. but the ads were segmented and had a giant clear sky and the words claritin written across it with no description at all. others described the medications for allergies. see your doctor about it. it's certainly a thing made my way through medical school those kinks have been worked out in prescription drug advertising for brand-name drugs was seen in dysfunction drugs were becoming increasingly common. so at this point, several decades later, we are now somewhat dear to the presence of direct to consumer advertising. at the time it was really shocking to see how dominant the brand's name was and how the pharmaceutical market ways. i came in thinking here is this brand-name, which is part of the marketplace and here

you know i've had clients in the last couple of months who they can't afford medications, some medicationsot available they're on a waiting list to get medication just so they can take it. a part of their regular antiretroviral cocktails that they may take. and so i think -- i think if we don't do more about changing some of the systemic issues that put people or assist hiv the hiv numbers here in the south, i don't know if much is going to change. >> so whitney enguran cordova if this is not a silver bullet and we agree it is not is there an ideal answer, given the nature of their risk where it may be introduced first as a way of piloting and learning lessons before moving forward. if you right now not hiv positive but you are sexually active, who should be on truvada? >> well i think we need to re-tune the conversation. i think it's possible that preexposure prophylaxis might be something that as i think was talked about earlier might work in the future. but having to take 365 pills doesn't seem to be a really good idea. and just as an example i think it was mentioned earlier that antire
