There are a couple outcomes in taking a medical history. Obviously, one is information gathering. You need to hear the patient’s symptoms to help form your differential diagnosis. The second, and equally important, is to help establish a relationship with that patient. There are several reasons a good provider-patient relationship is important. The patient is more likely to feel positive about their medical encounter, they’re more likely to be adherent to your recommendations regarding their health conditions, and they tend to be more forgiving if they experience an adverse event. What makes up a good provider-patient relationship? What can we do as clinicians to help establish a good relationship with our patients? Can we still establish a good relationship when we practice telemedicine? These are questions I’ll be asking my guest, Cory Ingram, M.D., a palliative care physician at the Mayo Clinic as we discuss “Provider-Patient Relationship Skills”.

Vascular Medicine Series: Lymphedema Challenges and Successes
Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D.
Guests: William J. Casey III, M.D. and Andrea L. Cheville, M.D.
There are numerous reasons a patient may develop swelling of an extremity. One of the less common reasons, but often misdiagnosed or undiagnosed is lymphedema. What is lymphedema, why does it occur and who’s at risk for it? Early recognition is important to prevent complications and primary care providers play a crucial role in identifying patients with lymphedema, coordinating their care and providing follow-up. How can we differentiate lymphedema from other causes of swelling? What are the potential complications if lymphedema is not correctly diagnosed and finally, what are some of the latest treatments available for the management of lymphedema? The topic for this podcast is “Lymphedema: Challenges and Success” and my guests include Andrea L. Cheville, M.D., a physician in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and William J. Casey, III, M.D., a physician in the Department of Plastic Surgery, both at the Mayo Clinic.

Common Foot Disorders "Agony of De-Feet"
Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D.
Guest: Martin G. Ellman, D.P.M.
We don’t really appreciate our feet until they hurt and then we become extremely aware of every step we take. Plantar fasciitis, bunions, metatarsalgia; all foot disorders which can result in foot pain and represent common reasons for an outpatient visit. What’s the role of the primary care clinician in the evaluation of foot pain? How should these conditions be managed? I’ll be reviewing common causes of foot problems as well as the management of foot pain with Martin G. Ellman, D.P.M., a podiatrist at the Mayo Clinic as we discuss “The Agony of De-Feet”.

Alzheimer’s Disease and Family Dynamics
Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D.
Guest: Christina Chen, M.D.
Alzheimer’s Disease affects not only the patient but also has a significant impact on that patient’s family. The family becomes stressed as emotional and physical burdens develop. The role of the primary care clinician in managing a patient with Alzheimer’s is not only to care for the patient but also help and support families as they go through a very complex, emotional journey. Today’s podcast will cover the changes in family dynamics which commonly occur in Alzheimer’s Disease including caregiver burden, legal decisions which need to be made, and difficult ethical choices which will be made as the disease progresses. What are some common sources of conflict within families as they care for their loved one with Alzheimer’s? What can we do as a clinician to help families through this difficult journey? How do we approach a situation where there’s disagreement in the family regarding management? These are some of the questions I’ll be asking my guest, Christina Chen, M.D., an internist and geriatrician in the Division of Community Internal Medicine at the Mayo Clinic as we discuss “Alzheimer’s Disease and Family Dynamics”.

Mild Cognitive Impairment
Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D.
Guest: Ronald C. Petersen, M.D., Ph.D.
We all experience cognitive changes as we age. If you doubt this, try learning to play the piano with a group of 7-and 8-year-olds and see who sounds best at the recital. We tend to have difficulty with new learning and can struggle with short term memory. When do these cognitive changes become pathologic? Dementia results in a gradual decline in cognitive abilities, memory and behavior, severe enough to interfere with daily life. Between the cognitive changes that occur with aging and those with dementia, there is another medical entity, mild cognitive impairment. How does it differ from the normal cognitive changes of aging? How does it differ from dementia? And is it important for us to recognize it? These are some of the questions I’ll be asking my guest for today’s podcast, Ronald C. Petersen, M.D., Ph.D., a neurologist and internationally recognized expert in the field of dementia as we discuss “Mild Cognitive Impairment”.
