Lunch And Learn With Dr. Berry

In this episode of Real Physician Reacts let's talk about the recent mass shooting that occurred at Highland Park in Illinois by Robert Crimo III and the continued Public Health crisis that gun violence has become here in this country. In a country where gun violence continues to be on the rise, especially since the pandemic began with more than 45,000 Americans dying by a gun in 2020, a 15% increase over 2019, and over a 40% increase from 2010. Despite U.S. civilians owning more than double the number of firearms per resident as the next highest country, the United States can not seem to curtail this growing issue.

This week's episode of Lunch and Learn with Dr. Berry comes fresh off the heat heels of the 2022 Autism in Black conference. I am giving a mini recap of the said event as well as briefly discussing the topic of black fathers raising autistic children. I had the amazing opportunity to give a closing keynote presentation on day 1 of the conference and I spoke about the importance of Black fathers in the lives of their Autistic children. As a father of two Autistic children and husband of an Autistic spouse, I have had the unique experience to balance out the level of care and responsibilities required to do the job but I am aware that without great support, Black fathers are unlikely to succeed as a whole. The following topics will be covered in today's episode 226: Recap of 2022 Autism in Black Conference Discussion on the importance of black fathers raising their autistic children Lack of research associated with black fathers and autistic children Importance of community & support for black fathers Li

In this week's Lunch and Learn with Dr. Berry podcast, we talk about COVID-19 and, more especially, an updated COVID-19 vaccine for kids.  After several delays, extremely young children such as newborns, toddlers, and preschoolers are now eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.  More specifically, the FDA has approved the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines for children between the ages of 6 months and 5 years. Parents all throughout the nation have been awaiting this decision because this is the last age group that has been left unprotected when the pandemic first began. With over 5.7 million of the 13+ million reported instances of COVID-19 occurring this year alone, parents, caregivers, and medical professionals have been crying out for assistance, and it has now been granted. Today, I'll cover a wide range of topics that will inform us. Here is a list of the main topics that will be discussed; FDA approval of Covid-19 vaccine for Kids COVID-19 update COVID-19 stats for kids Waiting on CDC approval Differences

In this week's episode of Lunch and Learn with Dr. Berry, let's discuss breaking out of your comfort zone. After multiple conversations with family, friends, and even patients, I believe it is necessary to discuss the importance of stepping outside of your comfort zone, particularly as we approach the halfway point of the year. So this was a combination of things and situations that I encountered over the last week, and I realized that I hadn't done a business/medicine/podcast in a minute, so I said, "Let's bring another one back." So today, we are going to talk about why the comfort zone is called the danger zone because it's become a problem for a lot of individuals, almost like quicksand. Episode 223 will discuss the following: -Looking back at the first half of the year -What is the comfort zone -Why it's hard to leave -How do we get out of the comfort zone Join me in today's audio episode as we discuss what the comfort zone is, why I consider it a danger zone for many individuals, and why leaving it is s

Welcome to a bonus episode here on the Lunch and Learn with Berry Podcast. Every week I go live on my youtube channel and when I have topics that I know my podcast audience needs to hear I am going to release the audio clips here on the podcast as well. On this episode of Real Physician Reacts I am discussing the recent tulsa mass shoowing which resulted in two physicians, a receptionist and patient ended up murdered. We are also going to talk about violence against health care workers. I would love to say that many of you should be surprised by the level of violence that health care workers endure but if you turned on the news at all during this pandemic you have seen what patients and even non patients will do against healthcare workers when they are trying to save them from a deadly viral disease.

In this episode of the Lunch and Learn Podcast, I'm back with another COVID-19 update as well as a discussion of a recent terrible breakthrough in the United States. One million deaths and counting unfortunately symbolize the number of deaths as a result of COVID-19 since the outbreak began. In less than three years, we achieved a milestone that would normally take two and a half decades if we were talking about influenza. Today, we'll discuss the most recent updated case rates from both the United States and other countries. We will tackle the latest recent statistics and provide vaccination numbers. More significantly, I will merely share my perspective as a hospital physician on what COVID-19 has done within the hospital and, sadly, what we should expect for the rest of the year.

In this episode, I will be talking about a very important topic related to politics and medicine. With the recent disclosure of the Supreme Court draft, it is evident that Rowe V Wade is on the verge of being reversed, prompting a national wide response from both sides of the issue. Quite often many of my colleagues will tell me that they prefer to remain out of politics and any discussion surrounding politics so they can focus on medicine but with this impending decision, the discussion of politics and medicine are right at the front door. Physicians and healthcare practitioners, on the other hand, cannot be impartial when it comes to women's decisions. That is why one of the goals of today's podcast is to educate physicians and other healthcare professionals to advocate and stand up for their patients. Episode 219 will discuss and help you learn the following: -Rowe v Wade -Recent Supreme Court Draft Leak -The importance of Standing Up for your patients Tune in to today's audio episode, as I discuss the

For those who don't know, I host a live series on my YouTube channel called The Real Physician Reacts every Thursday evening. So, in this episode, I'll bring you an audio clip from that live. Today, we will talk about the hysteria that masks are causing among airline travelers around the country. Since the start of the pandemic, there has been an increase in the number of incidents on airlines. I mentioned and even highlighted some video clips of passengers behaving badly on airlines. And, of course, not even a week later, a federal judge in Florida decides to declare that it's unlawful for public transportation to require masks. Which has a lot of different connotations in and of itself. Episode 217 will discuss the following: -The unruly airline passengers -How masks have caused an increasing number of airline incidents -The lack of empathy for others continues to be a big issue during this pandemic -The behavior that is exhib

In this episode of Lunch & Learn with Dr. Berry, I give my personal take on what it means to be a physician trying to make a lasting impact in this current climate of health care and how despite it all the obstacles the mission must go on. Being a physician prior to the pandemic there was a certain sentiment towards doctors that was resulting in burnout at a record pace. There was just a general lack of love and respect given to our profession but a lot of that changed immediately once this pandemic hit. Today, I will talk about what it was like being a doctor and seeing the change of public support as the pandemic first began and what has started to occur as people are hoping to close this chapter of the pandemic. In this episode, we will discuss: -The past & present status of the physician -How the pandemic highlighted how physicians were viewed -The importance of recognizing when you are having an impact on your community. -The essence of physicians realizing how important of a factor they are in
