and there was a whole wave of medical schools opening across the u.s. and it was the sense that american medicine was a lot more egalitarian than in the system of europe that was restricted by these kind of elite medical societies. and then at the turn-of-the-century in the u.s., there was a concerted effort to shut down a lot of medical schools. and a lot of that stemmed from the report called the flex report commissioned by the american medical association. and this was by an educator who essentially decided that there were too many american medical schools and too many low-quality ones or ones that were not rigorous enough in their training and so he started an effort to shut down a lot of medical schools. and unsurprisingly, when that ended up falling on the rural medical schools that were training lower income people to care for their communities and so you had only i think over a dozen at the start of the century that just two of them remained after they pushed. as a result of that it was a lot more homogenous. that's an important history to under

it's weird medical historians. we don't like to retrospectively diagnose things, you know, when we're reading records if someone says, you know, it's gangrene we tend to be more interested in how people contextualize their experiences within rather than how we might look at the past through the lens of our own medical explanations, but hospital gain green tended. i think it's more sort of akin to what we would call necrotizing fasciitis at this time. it was a very a very horrible condition which of course all of these conditions we suffer from today surgeons and doctors fight today, but of course because we know about germs and the existence of germs we're able to more proactively prevent them. and of course manage them when they do break out the scottish surgeon john bell wrote about the horror of hospital gangrene. he said the cries of the sufferers are the same in the night as in the daytime. they are exhausted in the course of a week and die or if they survive and the ulcers continue to eat down and just join t

no informed consent, no medical care. this is my story and it's the story of countless american women past, present and if this congresse succeeds, future. just in the last few years we have witnessed killers like orec clossfer who are responsible first deaths of women that not even planned parenthood defends. not until his death was it discoveredre that he'd been hoarding the bodies of thousands of children that he had killed inin abortions, bodies in his basement, p bodies in his garag bodies in his car. we published the groundbreaking report "unsafe" inyd americans united for life to reveal the everyday tragedy of abortion, but wherever an abortionist disposes of the corpses was their victims, the truth issive dent. the crime against justice that this congresss would sanction remains the same. this bill a is premised on lies. it degrades and attacks the dignity of women and it puts all women and especially black, indigenous and people of color at risk. as a mother, i am insulted. as opposed to board of women i am frigh

for medical purposes. personally don't use it, but i could very easily if i wanted to. if it weren't for -- it would make it a more competitive thing too where people are not paying ridiculous prices. that is basically how i feel about it. growing up, i have been around it near my whole adult life and teenage life. i choose not to use it, but i also see the people that do use it. i don't see a negative effect other than if they are trying to operate. it puts everyone in a good mood, as opposed alcohol, which i do use, that could go either way. i seen a lot of fights started when people are on alcohol as opposed to marijuana. host: you live in indiana where all uses of cannabis is illegal. do you see that changing in your state anytime soon, or do you think your state will keep marijuana completely illegal? caller: they will keep it completely illegal. i came here from utah where it was the same conditions, except they approved medical use but then never let it go through. it is just the way it is. i ain't

my medical -- abortion.ght medical records indicate the doctors suspected i had a fatal heart effect because of the fetal distress. my grandmother demanded i be left to die but i am grateful for the nurse working that day, who was unwilling to do so and rushed me to the nicu. before you vilify my grandmother for that demand, note that i learned from two nurses that was common practice at st. luke's hospital. i know it was common practice for children like me, who survived abortions, to be placed in the utility closet, to be left to die. this was not an isolated incident. this was common practice. i suffered from severe respiratory problems, jaundice, seizures. i wait two pounds and 14 ounces -- i weighed two pounds and 14 ounces. it was estimated i was 31 weeks to recitation -- just station-- gestation. i hear this through the abortion survivors network and many are alive like me because they were more advanced than the abortionist assessed and this is not a thing of the past. i will share one example that o

in europe -- in your professional medical opinion, is it true medical abortions can be stopped after a woman takes a first dose of pills? dr. perritt: there is absolutely no evidence to support that. chair blumenthal: six states require women to receive medically inaccurate counseling that a medication abortion can be stopped after the woman takes the first dose of pills. i think we all should be personally ashamed that in the united states and america, the greatest country in the world, which should have the best health care in the world, many health care professionals are required by the state to misinform their patients in making a highly personal decision. this decision is one that they alone should make in consultation with their doctors. the women's health protection act very simply put an end to an ongoing reality where our doctors are required by law -- by law -- to mislead about the risks of a safe medical procedure. we're talking about health care. we're talking about essential health care. that women deserve. constitutionally, as a matter of the right to property. and so,

they are medical heroes. i think it's also really important for the medical community to be talking about the safety and the effectiveness of the vaccines and to be giving vaccinations. we are working with more and more members of the medical community to be giving vaccinations, doctor's offices, clinics, hospital clinics, pharmacies. our pharmacists have been giving millions and millions of doses of vaccinations. the other point i would like to emphasize, other people on the frontline who deserve our respect and support are our public health officials. they are on the frontline, too. local public health officials, state public health officials, the epidemiologists, the public health workers that are working at all levels to protect our health. they deserve our thanks, our respect as well. frances: the biden administration put from the word go enormous emphasis on getting people vaccinated. it was clear early on there would be early adopters and then a slowing of this of the uptake. can you talk about the mea

and i will certainly acknowledge there is no medication, certainly no any depression, but no medication. that is completely risk free. if taken during pregnancy, ordering breastfeeding, but if you, if you take stock 1st of the illness and what dangers it poses. and so we know that for example, in pregnancy, depression left untreated triples to quadruples ration preterm, birth earth weight, hyper tension during pregnancy. i see you and missions for newborns are higher if mothers are depressed during pregnancy and so forth. and we know that was part of the depression, interferes with mother infant bonding that can lead to problematic developmental children, contributing to childhood, depression and anxiety. and so we get faced with these difficult situations where if we don't treat, then the baby is at rest. and it may be that non medication treatment such as exercise psychotherapy, and that's always the 1st line of treatment. but sometimes those are and effects. and then we find her so in these situations, from time to time where even though the medication may carry some rest to the baby

baby, starting the medication, taking the medication while pregnant, while breastfeeding may actually be safer for the baby. because it pro, provides some protective benefit against the illness. and we face the same sort of thing with a variety of other illnesses. so this is not unique to depression. the same thing comes into play. for example, i mentioned epilepsy earlier. you know, the anti seizure medicines are quite risky to take during pregnancy and breastfeeding. and yet we know that because having seizures when you're pregnant or when you're holding a newborn baby is so dangerous, you know, we routinely recommend that women with that. let's see, continue their medication. and so to a lesser extent, but still sometimes we find ourselves in position where medication has to be recommended. dr. newport. we're going to take a short break right now when we are back. we'll continue talking about baby blues with dr. jeff are new port professor of psychiatry, behavioral sciences and woman help me. ah, imagine picking up a future textbook on the early years of the 21st century water, the

the family and medical leave act guarantees unpaid leave. unpaid leave is untenable to many federal workers. this is a policy long overdue for the federal workforce and for our nation. the federal government has the opportunity to lead the way on paid leave in a family-friendly workplace while providing access to paid leave is critically important and long overdue, just as important to provide access to paid family and medical leave. military deployment can be plan for. as we have all learned in the past year, illness can strike any of us at any time. is it fair to ask workers to make the choice between a family member or continuing to receive a paycheck? answer clearly and unequivocally is no. these are choices that no one should have to make. the coronavirus pandemic has dramatically undeniably has a need for unpaid leave. too many americans lack access to paid family leave during the pandemic. stating consequences, expanding access to paid leave is a large part of a strong and equitable recovery. just as important, after the year of globa

how or residents reacting to medical visit? well, some people were glad that she came. they said it was important for the chance. so the leader of the country to show her solidarity with the people he respected and the support of the government in this very critical situation. others were more skeptical. they said that because of her visit and having to close off a lot of roads, it was hard for volunteers and rescued vehicles to come here and help with the clean up. and they also said that it made it, it looked like for them like a photo opportunity in the election campaign. and it didn't really mean that the government was really supporting the people here. is there anything really that the chancellor could have said to ease their pain? one thing residents here have told me is that they want to see support in the long term. they don't want the immediate aftermath of the tragedy to be the only moment where they see the government present. and massive did say that she is aware that this is going to be a long struggle to bring the towns back to what they were. so this is

look at your own individual medical history, your current medical condition. and make the right decision in consultation with your doctor. but take it seriously. as a nonmedical professional, is that the right advice or should i be telling people what to do? >> in a free society, it's based on persuasion. when you are a doctor or not a doctor, people have opinions. different doctors frankly can have different opinions. but in a free society, you get to decide. and people are smarter than you think. >> sean: am i giving advice? >> well yes, good advice to make your own decision. my point is that the left thinks that the common man is too stupid to make his own decisions so they want to make it for you. every individual in a free to society gets to make his own decisions. 85% of people over 65 decided to get the vaccine. that is sort of a popular vote in favor of people deciding that it was a good idea. but it shouldn't be forced or mandated. in a free society, we all make those decisions ourselves. >> sean: senator and medical director rand paul commuted a grea

would you then describe what's happening in me and ma, as a medical emergency it is certainly a medical emergency. it is a situation where you already had a weak health care system, one which had improved under the civilian government. what was nowhere near the top levels of any of the countries in se, asia system that was chronically underfunded, and all of a sudden were being dragged back into a period similar to what we had during the previous military dictatorships. one the, me and mar health system. was one of the worst in the, in the region, if not the world that having been said, doctors themselves went on strike in february earlier this year to protest against the military, where they buy their actions, not depriving citizens of treatment. well, many of the doctors actually refuse to go work at government hospitals, but they set up their own clinics and continued to treat people often for free. the problem has been that the military has now been trying to find these secret underground clinics to raid them. when they do catch them, they, they arrest anybody, they find there, they

i don't know your medical history, i don't know your current medical condition.o far seem to be on the side of mandates. for example, a judge on monday hello in the inning university's vaccination requirement for students despite arguments that such rules violate their right to body integrity, and medical privacy. just like we've been saying, please take covid seriously. i can say it enough. enough people have died. we don't need anymore death. research like crazy. talk to your doctor, your doctors, medical professionals that you trust based on your unique medical history, your current medical condition, and to you and your doctor make a very important decision for your own safety. take it seriously. you also have a right to medical privacy and doctor-patient confidentiality is also important. and absolutely make sense for many americans to get vaccinated. i believe in science, i believe in the science of vaccination. there are rare exceptions. tonight, for example, we are spotlighting the story surrounding a young when accepted to byu hawaii. this was her dream
