0:01
Speaker 1: Every day we click up the Breakfast Club. You don't
0:05
Speaker 1: finish for y'all done morning.
0:07
Speaker 2: Everybody is the DJ Envy, Jess hilarious, Charlamagne the guy.
0:11
Speaker 2: We are the breakfast Club. Law La Rose is here
0:13
Speaker 2: as well. We got a special guest in the building.
0:15
Speaker 1: We talked to you about him all the time, all
0:17
Speaker 1: the time.
0:19
Speaker 3: Ladies and gentlemen, doctor Puma.
0:21

0:23
Speaker 4: for having me and it's great to be here with Jess. Yes,
0:27
Speaker 4: I love and Lauren. Great to meet you as well. Charlamagne.
0:30
Speaker 1: Always good to see my guy.
0:31
Speaker 4: Now.
0:31
Speaker 5: We always tell you about doctor Pullman and we encourage
0:33
Speaker 5: everybody to go to Story Medical because cardiovascular health.
0:36
Speaker 1: Is very important.
0:37
Speaker 5: But today we got something very special for listeners because
0:40
Speaker 5: we're giving away free arts cans medical courtesy of doctor Pumer.
0:44
Speaker 1: Hey, that's right.
0:46
Speaker 2: Well, for people that don't know who doctor Pumer is
0:48
Speaker 2: and don't listen to the show, might not have heard
0:49
Speaker 2: us explain what doctor Puma does that that helps and
0:52
Speaker 2: benefit so many people.
0:53
Speaker 1: He keeps you from dying.
0:55
Speaker 6: Well, in long form, we hope so yes, I mean
1:00
Speaker 6: in short form, doctors can only do two things for people.
1:03
Speaker 6: Help you feel better or live longer. But there's real
1:09
Speaker 6: differences in care in this country and especially in New York.
1:12
Speaker 6: And you know, I'm a brooklyn Nite, come from South
1:16
Speaker 6: Brooklyn and have really focused majority of my care, but
1:21
Speaker 6: especially the last third of my career on just improving
1:25
Speaker 6: care and underserved areas, people who either don't have access
1:29
Speaker 6: don't know how to have access. And with our technology,
1:33
Speaker 6: with a three minute heart scan, we can see your
1:36
Speaker 6: arteries in your body, we can see if you have plaque,
1:39
Speaker 6: we can see if you have blockagen. And truthfully, you know,
1:41
Speaker 6: as you know Charlomagne, the majority of people who go
1:44
Speaker 6: to the cardiologists just have anxiety and are having all
1:47
Speaker 6: kinds of different symptoms, chest pain, palpitation, shortness of breath,
1:51
Speaker 6: and so a normal scan is as valuable as anything else.
1:54
Speaker 6: So we're just trying to improve the health of the
1:56
Speaker 6: community and really reaching out and giving people an access point.
2:02
Speaker 7: Now often should you, I'm sorry, how often should you
2:04
Speaker 7: get a heart scan?
2:06
Speaker 6: Well, it depends, it depends if you're having symptoms, It
2:12
Speaker 6: depends actually what the results are. If you have no calcification,
2:15
Speaker 6: no plaque build up in your arteries, and normal coronaries,
2:18
Speaker 6: then that has the lowest risk of heart attack, stroke,
2:23
Speaker 6: or death over the next eight years, less than two percent.
2:26
Speaker 6: And so in that case, there's pretty much nothing you're
2:28
Speaker 6: going to do to have a heart attack. So just
2:30
Speaker 6: you know, we'll see you in eight years and that
2:32
Speaker 6: should give your peace of mind. So even if you
2:34
Speaker 6: get chest pain or shortness of breath for some reason,
2:36
Speaker 6: you know it can't be coming for your heart.
2:39
Speaker 4: But if you have.
2:39
Speaker 6: Severe blocked arteries, which we see every day, and you
2:43
Speaker 6: end up getting bypass surgery or stends, then we personalize
2:46
Speaker 6: it for you and you may have a scan more frequently.
2:49
Speaker 2: Now the head to toe scan that you can do
2:52
Speaker 2: as well, full body and brain scan. Full body and
2:54
Speaker 2: brain scan. Now, of course you do the veins in
2:57
Speaker 2: your arteries and those type of things.
2:59
Speaker 3: But can you see cancer through those scans?
3:02
Speaker 6: Yes, And you know, we're at a different time in
3:06
Speaker 6: the world today, right And I think that the two
3:10
Speaker 6: things that we really have to work hard on in
3:13
Speaker 6: medicine is access and trust. We've lost, especially post COVID,
3:18
Speaker 6: we've lost a lot of trust in people, and underserved
3:22
Speaker 6: communities in particular already had a lower trust level.
3:26
Speaker 4: So people are searching and people.
3:29
Speaker 6: Are are are trying to advocate for their own health.
3:33
Speaker 6: And a full body scan we see all the tissues,
3:37
Speaker 6: the organs, but the way we do it is we
3:40
Speaker 6: also accentuate all the arteries in the body, so if
3:43
Speaker 6: there's an aneurysm or any calcification or blockage, we'll see
3:48
Speaker 6: that also from head to toe.
3:50
Speaker 5: And that's what I went for because, you know, for
3:52
Speaker 5: like the past years have changed, I just kept hearing
3:53
Speaker 5: people catching in you're getting at getting aneurythm.
3:56
Speaker 1: So I went and got.
3:57
Speaker 5: The full body and brain scan because you can detect
3:59
Speaker 5: for those, as you just said, who should be getting.
4:01
Speaker 4: Them, Well, it depends.
4:06
Speaker 6: I you know, I work with you on mental wealth
4:09
Speaker 6: every year, Charlemagne. I think there's so many people who
4:13
Speaker 6: have so much anxiety and don't have access even to
4:15
Speaker 6: a primary care doctor, or.
4:17
Speaker 4: They don't go to anyone who sits and listens to them.
4:19
Speaker 6: Those are the people who are signing up most commonly
4:23
Speaker 6: because they're just trying to find answers, right, they're not
4:25
Speaker 6: even sure what the questions are, but they're.
4:26
Speaker 4: Trying to find answers.
4:28
Speaker 6: But certainly anyone at risk, anyone if you're a male
4:31
Speaker 6: over forty or a woman over fifty and you have
4:33
Speaker 6: any risk factors for cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, diabetes,
4:39
Speaker 6: high cholesterols, cigarette smoking.
4:41
Speaker 4: And then again anyone who's having symptoms.
4:43
Speaker 6: So let's separate people who have no symptoms versus people
4:46
Speaker 6: who have symptoms. If you're having pain somewhere, dizziness, lightheadedness,
4:52
Speaker 6: shortness of breath, those types of symptoms.
4:55
Speaker 2: I was going to ask, you know, when people do
4:57
Speaker 2: go for the scan, how often should they go for
5:00
Speaker 2: the skin Because see the first time when I go there,
5:02
Speaker 2: the first thing you say is what did you see
5:04
Speaker 2: on TV that made you come in?
5:05
Speaker 1: You know?
5:06
Speaker 3: What did Charlemagne say to you? And that's usually what
5:08
Speaker 3: it is.
5:08
Speaker 1: What he said to me when I went to for
5:09
Speaker 1: the full body brands.
5:10
Speaker 5: But he's like, what are you here for? I said
5:12
Speaker 5: something about you guys know what are you really hear?
5:14
Speaker 5: I said, I hear about all these aneurysms.
5:17
Speaker 3: The same See, Charlemagne gets me going. Selman is like, yo,
5:20
Speaker 3: I just went and.
5:20
Speaker 2: I got a full scan and I'm good, and then
5:22
Speaker 2: I just start seeing stuff on TV and this person
5:24
Speaker 2: just passed and then I wind up going.
5:26
Speaker 3: He goes, what are you here for? What did you
5:28
Speaker 3: see on television and we go through the.
5:29
Speaker 1: Scale all morning and we've been talking about ass warts.
5:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, Doc, I have not been talking about ass warts.
5:35
Speaker 2: But my question to you is how often should people
5:37
Speaker 2: go and also stroke silent killer. If I go to
5:42
Speaker 2: you and I get a clear should I have to
5:44
Speaker 2: worry about a stroke or is there other things that
5:45
Speaker 2: can happen or can you see it from your skin?
5:47
Speaker 3: Because that's another thing that that scares me up.
5:49
Speaker 4: Now, so we could. So, first of all, I'm not
5:51
Speaker 4: talking about warts.
5:52
Speaker 1: Thank you.
5:53
Speaker 4: I came in saying not talking about it. I said,
5:56
Speaker 4: I talk about anything, but I have a limit between
6:02
Speaker 4: here and here. I'm not talking fair enough.
6:05
Speaker 6: But uh so, if there's a vascular abnormality in your arteries,
6:11
Speaker 6: if there's blockage, if there's aneurysm, you'll see it and
6:14
Speaker 6: then I can give you a risk score what your
6:16
Speaker 6: risk is over time?
6:17
Speaker 4: Right, because the body changes over time.
6:19
Speaker 6: But the key is, especially in the black community, is
6:21
Speaker 6: high blood pressure. Damage or death from high blood pressure
6:26
Speaker 6: and complications of high blood pressure now in the black community.
6:30
Speaker 4: Is higher than heart attacks.
6:33
Speaker 6: Okay, and most commonly because Black Americans, compared to White Americans,
6:38
Speaker 6: develop high blood pressure sooner, it's usually more resistant to treatment,
6:42
Speaker 6: and they have it longer in life. They develop complications
6:46
Speaker 6: congestive heart failure, stroke, and heart attack. And so those
6:50
Speaker 6: symptoms and the high blood pressure is what we call
6:54
Speaker 6: the silent killer.
6:55
Speaker 4: That that's exactly right.
6:57
Speaker 6: So in those cases, again everything is custom, but but
7:01
Speaker 6: you're right, Charlottmane. When people come in, usually there's some
7:04
Speaker 6: event that happened. A friend died young, or a co
7:07
Speaker 6: worker or a family member, and there's always something and
7:11
Speaker 6: you know, put yourself in my position.
7:12
Speaker 4: I've spent forty years.
7:14
Speaker 6: Primarily in an eight by ten rooms sitting interviewing people,
7:17
Speaker 6: not the way you interview them, but hearing their their worries,
7:20
Speaker 6: their anxieties, their symptom and and you learn what the.
7:24
Speaker 4: Right questions are to ask to get them to open up.
7:27
Speaker 4: And it's usually so what's bringing you to you know,
7:29
Speaker 4: to see me? What what are you worried about? And
7:32
Speaker 4: usually that's one of their triggers.
7:34
Speaker 2: How often do you see somebody and they have to
7:35
Speaker 2: go straight to the hospital, Like maybe you do their
7:37
Speaker 2: blood pressure You're like, oh, this is too how you're
7:39
Speaker 2: going to go now?
7:39
Speaker 4: Every day?
7:40
Speaker 1: Really?
7:40
Speaker 6: Wow, every every single day And I can tell you
7:43
Speaker 6: the work you've done here, and I appreciate that that
7:47
Speaker 6: you talk about it.
7:49
Speaker 4: And and by the way, puts a lot of pressure
7:50
Speaker 4: on me.
7:51
Speaker 6: By the way, because when people live, so please make
7:53
Speaker 6: sure you tell them I did.
7:54
Speaker 4: Okay, you know, because we don't want anything negative.
7:58
Speaker 6: But so many people have come in that would otherwise
8:02
Speaker 6: not see a doctor, or have gone to doctors and
8:07
Speaker 6: they're not listened to, or they go to the hospital
8:10
Speaker 6: and you know, they don't have their specific doctor.
8:13
Speaker 4: And you know, Lauren and I have.
8:15
Speaker 8: I just recently went through that and I called doctor
8:16
Speaker 8: Puma and he literally like saved one of my family
8:19
Speaker 8: member's lives, you know, like literally like they were I
8:23
Speaker 8: had a family I'm not going to not too much detail,
8:25
Speaker 8: but I had a family member who was going through
8:27
Speaker 8: something in the hospital. Her family wasn't there like at
8:31
Speaker 8: the moment when something was happening, but when they got there,
8:33
Speaker 8: they knew something was wrong, and the hospital was telling them,
8:36
Speaker 8: oh no, no, no, and it was something very seriously wrong.
8:39
Speaker 8: And I called doctor Pullman and I'm like, I know
8:41
Speaker 8: something's wrong. Here are her symptoms. What do you think?
8:43
Speaker 8: And he's like, here's exactly what you need to tell
8:45
Speaker 8: them to do. So I called and I'm like, hey, like,
8:49
Speaker 8: this is what we need to say to them. And
8:51
Speaker 8: on the other side advocating, like and that's what I
8:53
Speaker 8: wanted you to talk about too, like having an advocate
8:55
Speaker 8: in the hospital. On the advocate side, I also talked
8:57
Speaker 8: to him about if they don't do it legally, like
9:00
Speaker 8: what can she say? Who should we talk to? Who
9:02
Speaker 8: in the hospital should she talk to? And everything got
9:05
Speaker 8: going within like the next hour, and it probably saved
9:07
Speaker 8: her life, even though there is damage that's done because
9:10
Speaker 8: they neglected some things for some time. But I called
9:12
Speaker 8: you in the airport and he just like stopped everything
9:15
Speaker 8: he was doing. Helped me figure it out. And people
9:17
Speaker 8: like you really say people's lives from phone calls like that.
9:20
Speaker 6: But but I guess the thing that concerns me more
9:23
Speaker 6: than anything.
9:23
Speaker 4: Is this is a national problem.
9:25
Speaker 6: Now people don't have primary care doctors anymore that they're
9:27
Speaker 6: connected to that advocate for them.
9:30
Speaker 4: How how would the patient know what to advocate for? Right?
9:33
Speaker 6: You talk about it all the time, Charlemagne, and I
9:35
Speaker 6: hear you talking about on the show about insurance issues.
9:38
Speaker 6: Insurance doesn't cover this procedure or that doctor or this
9:42
Speaker 6: medication I heard you talking about. I heard a caller
9:45
Speaker 6: this morning. They're alternating every month.
9:51
Speaker 4: That's I mean, in what universe do we live in? Right?
9:54
Speaker 1: So you got a rational.
9:57
Speaker 4: Yeah, rationing medication.
9:59
Speaker 6: So I think they there's a lot we can do
10:00
Speaker 6: and I've I've tried to use you know, I got
10:04
Speaker 6: a tiny little platform, but I'm screaming from the top
10:07
Speaker 6: of my lungs, and you know, bringing people in that
10:11
Speaker 6: that relate to different communities and instead of just talking
10:15
Speaker 6: to doctors, you know, like we had our conference this year.
10:17
Speaker 6: You were at it last year, Charlemagne, and and I'm
10:20
Speaker 6: trying to open their eyes and you know, we we
10:24
Speaker 6: had to let Let's rap about it podcast there this year,
10:27
Speaker 6: and we just have an honest, open conversations and trying
10:31
Speaker 6: to go direct to the community. And that's why I
10:33
Speaker 6: love coming on the show because it definitely triggers something
10:37
Speaker 6: in people and they and they come in and then
10:40
Speaker 6: we find diabetes, we find high blood pressure, we find
10:42
Speaker 6: things that weren't treated or inadequately treated. We find blocked
10:46
Speaker 6: outeries dj envy every day, or blood pressure that's over
10:51
Speaker 6: two hundred and we send them straight to the hospital.
10:53
Speaker 6: Every single day.
10:54
Speaker 2: I wanted to ask, you know, when you when you
10:55
Speaker 2: do have those situations, what do you do?
10:57
Speaker 4: Right?
10:57
Speaker 3: Because I just remember my daughter was she was in
11:00
Speaker 3: the hospital, right.
11:00
Speaker 2: So she was in the hospital in December and doctor
11:02
Speaker 2: Pooma helped out, like made sure everything was great. But
11:05
Speaker 2: in January the hospital stopped taking her insurance. Right why
11:10
Speaker 2: they just cut off the insurance that they took. Instead
11:12
Speaker 2: of using that provider, they used another provider. So now
11:15
Speaker 2: they basically said they can't see her anymore, and they said,
11:18
Speaker 2: you have to go to somebody else. But what we
11:20
Speaker 2: were explaining and doctor Puma helped out with this is
11:22
Speaker 2: if she goes to another doctor, they don't know what
11:24
Speaker 2: the other doctors did, they don't know the medicine that
11:27
Speaker 2: she's on. They've never seen us, so like how does
11:30
Speaker 2: that work? And you know, we had to yell and
11:33
Speaker 2: scream and we got it done. But for people that
11:35
Speaker 2: don't have the platform that people that dad don't know
11:37
Speaker 2: what's going on, Like what can they do?
11:41
Speaker 6: It's a big challenge. If they're part of our practice,
11:44
Speaker 6: we advocate for them. We take everybody and anyone, whether
11:47
Speaker 6: they have insurance or not. I've said it before here
11:51
Speaker 6: and you know, they come in for a scan, or
11:53
Speaker 6: they need care, or they lose their insurance.
11:56
Speaker 4: We don't cut them away. We don't play that game.
12:00
Speaker 6: That's a huge problem because all these health systems. Now,
12:03
Speaker 6: remember fifteen years ago, we didn't have any such thing
12:05
Speaker 6: as health systems, right, these health systems are basically corporate
12:09
Speaker 6: practice of medicine. These are just business deals between the
12:12
Speaker 6: hospital and the insurance company, and so the patients are
12:17
Speaker 6: getting cut out. Independent physicians, I think are critically important.
12:24
Speaker 6: You know, fifteen years ago, eighty percent of the doctors
12:27
Speaker 6: in the US were independent in private practices. Now it's
12:30
Speaker 6: less than twenty percent. But they're the ones who advocate
12:33
Speaker 6: for you. They're the ones who know you. And I think, Lauren,
12:36
Speaker 6: I would say this to you or dj Envy.
12:39
Speaker 4: I think that's why you.
12:40
Speaker 6: All call me, because I work for you or I
12:44
Speaker 6: work for the patient. When you go to a hospital system,
12:47
Speaker 6: you just found out now, sadly, after all you went through,
12:50
Speaker 6: which was traumatizing, that everyone there works for the hospital
12:56
Speaker 6: and for the health system. They're not working for you.
12:58
Speaker 6: So it's a challenge. But what you need to do
13:00
Speaker 6: is just keep advocating. Everybody knows when they're not being
13:05
Speaker 6: treated properly. You feel it in your gut, You know it.
13:08
Speaker 6: Everybody knows when they're being disrespected or they're not being
13:12
Speaker 6: treated with dignity.
13:13
Speaker 4: And you need to keep advocating.
13:15
Speaker 6: And it might not be the doctor or the hospital
13:17
Speaker 6: that you're in front of, and you may have to
13:19
Speaker 6: find somewhere else, and that's unfortunate, but you have to
13:22
Speaker 6: keep advocating for yourself because everyone deserves high quality healthcare
13:27
Speaker 6: at low or no cost.
13:30
Speaker 4: This is America.
13:31
Speaker 6: I mean, can you imagine we're having this conversation in
13:34
Speaker 6: twenty twenty six, right.
13:36
Speaker 5: We say this is America, as if this isn't America
13:39
Speaker 5: like it supposed This is to me, this is the
13:41
Speaker 5: American way, the system being corrupt. I've never known it
13:44
Speaker 5: any other way. I've never known a country. I've never
13:46
Speaker 5: known this country to have affordable healthcare for people. I've
13:48
Speaker 5: never seen it easy for people to access the healthcare system.
13:51
Speaker 5: Me personally, when we say this is America, you're actually
13:55
Speaker 5: the exception to the rule.
13:56
Speaker 1: Doctor poom.
13:57
Speaker 6: Well, we were supposed to have fixed all of that
13:59
Speaker 6: right and everyone getting healthcare. But now in New York,
14:03
Speaker 6: for instance, forty percent of New York City is on Medicaid,
14:08
Speaker 6: you know, so when you listen, so I'm with you, right,
14:10
Speaker 6: I mean, you know, I think our politics actually very
14:15
Speaker 6: are very similar, and we may advocate in different ways.
14:18
Speaker 6: And I can't say the things you always say because
14:21
Speaker 6: you have the stature that you have, But I agree
14:24
Speaker 6: with you.
14:24
Speaker 4: I think it's crazy.
14:27
Speaker 6: We should all have affordable health care and it shouldn't
14:30
Speaker 6: matter you know who you are, but we don't. And
14:33
Speaker 6: I think that there's a lot in the Affordable Care
14:36
Speaker 6: Act that we need to look back at now.
14:38
Speaker 4: And needs to be fixed.
14:39
Speaker 6: People can't afford medications, right. Remember, no one was supposed
14:42
Speaker 6: to get be in medical debt, Jess. Remember that we
14:45
Speaker 6: have more people in medical debt today than we did
14:47
Speaker 6: fifteen years ago. We have more people being taken to
14:50
Speaker 6: court by hospital systems, right.
14:53
Speaker 4: And it's harder for us in.
14:56
Speaker 6: Independent practice to figure out how to you know, pay
15:00
Speaker 6: the electric and pay everyone's salaries. But I can tell
15:02
Speaker 6: you in forty years, we've never I've never put anyone
15:06
Speaker 6: in collection.
15:07
Speaker 4: And if people can't pay, they can't pay.
15:10
Speaker 8: Before you move on from that point, can I you
15:12
Speaker 8: how does that work?
15:14
Speaker 3: Then?
15:14
Speaker 5: Like?
15:14
Speaker 8: How can you figure out to afford that. But every
15:16
Speaker 8: or to do that. I don't know if it's an
15:17
Speaker 8: affording things every other hospital can't, Like, well.
15:23
Speaker 4: They can do or they won't. They can or they won't.
15:26
Speaker 6: Now, by the law, we have to ask for the deductible,
15:31
Speaker 6: we have to ask for.
15:34
Speaker 4: The copay. But also by the law, if.
15:37
Speaker 6: If you came in jest or a family member and
15:40
Speaker 6: said I can't afford it, we're allowed to click that
15:42
Speaker 6: in the computer and not collect it. And we're allowed
15:47
Speaker 6: to say don't build a patient.
15:49
Speaker 5: Yeah, but that's why your scans are so affordable, just
15:51
Speaker 5: because of that.
15:52
Speaker 6: No, my skin scans are so affordable, that's part of it.
15:54
Speaker 6: But my scans are so affordable because I decided to
15:58
Speaker 6: go the opposite way. So if you go to the
15:59
Speaker 6: upper side, you're paying two thousand dollars. You come to us,
16:02
Speaker 6: we're charging to three hundred dollars. And if you can't pay,
16:06
Speaker 6: you know, we just do it. Hey, okay, and then
16:10
Speaker 6: and then I think what happens. It's kind of like
16:12
Speaker 6: what my dad told me when I was young. If
16:13
Speaker 6: you just do a good job and try and do
16:15
Speaker 6: the right thing, you know, someone will figure it out.
16:17
Speaker 6: Someone will you know, people will come, and that's what's happened,
16:21
Speaker 6: and I think that we've built a robust.
16:23
Speaker 4: Vibrant, diverse practice. You know, we go to communities nobody
16:27
Speaker 4: wants to go to and we open.
16:29
Speaker 6: You know, we're about to open with Basilica Management in
16:32
Speaker 6: June over fifty thousand square foot facility in the Bronx
16:35
Speaker 6: on the Grand Concourse that'll have multiple specialties OBGYN, primary.
16:40
Speaker 4: Care, cardiac, vascular radiology. Who's investing there? Right?
16:46
Speaker 6: Is it the big health systems you know that that
16:49
Speaker 6: do ten billion dollars a year? Is it United Healthcare?
16:52
Speaker 6: That's a four hundred billion dollars a year company. Now
16:56
Speaker 6: we're really sounding like an activist, but no, it's it's
17:00
Speaker 6: look small little lust and we're doing it out of
17:02
Speaker 6: our own pocket. But we're figuring out because people are coming.
17:06
Speaker 6: We don't have the scale.
17:07
Speaker 4: Of some of these places, but people come.
17:10
Speaker 6: And by the way, when you all bring us up,
17:13
Speaker 6: it's like an extra obligation for us. Yeah, we even
17:16
Speaker 6: work harder because we would never want to to not
17:21
Speaker 6: make sure that you were proud or that you were
17:23
Speaker 6: associated with something that was that was good and positive.
17:27
Speaker 5: I am because every time we tell people to go
17:29
Speaker 5: to the doctor poom where they always leave with the
17:31
Speaker 5: same sensory relief that I felt when I first went.
17:33
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying as somebody who deals with
17:35
Speaker 5: anxiety and always think they.
17:37
Speaker 1: Got some type of heart issues.
17:38
Speaker 5: It wasn't until I went to Soaring Medical did my
17:41
Speaker 5: first you know, cardiovascular scan that I felt extreme sensorily
17:46
Speaker 5: and that to me that that's priceless.
17:49
Speaker 7: Now, I know you specialize in cardiovascular issues, but ter
17:53
Speaker 7: in fibroids, they affect many women, especially Black women, at
17:56
Speaker 7: higher rates. Is that something that you address at.
18:00
Speaker 6: So we're an integrated group now with vascular surgery, interventional radiology.
18:05
Speaker 6: We have offices all over New York, the boroughs. We
18:09
Speaker 6: even have offices now in New Jersey, Orange County. Our
18:15
Speaker 6: ambulatory surgical centers on Wall Street on the corner of
18:18
Speaker 6: Wall Street and South Street. And yes, we treat embolized
18:21
Speaker 6: uterine fibrids. We've innovated in non surgical technique, simple outpatient
18:26
Speaker 6: procedures where patients come in in the morning, they get
18:29
Speaker 6: a thirty to sixty minute procedure and within two hours
18:33
Speaker 6: they're walking out the door.
18:35
Speaker 4: And you're right about uterine fibroids.
18:37
Speaker 6: Uterine fibroids are significantly higher in Black women than in
18:41
Speaker 6: white or Hispanic women. In fact, I think the statistic
18:44
Speaker 6: is up to seventy percent Black women will develop uterine fibroids,
18:48
Speaker 6: and many of them, you know, have heavy periods or
18:52
Speaker 6: abdominal discomfort, and they just suffer through it when you know,
18:57
Speaker 6: they get an emic when it's easily treatable, and I
19:02
Speaker 6: think that the way we treat it is a huge
19:04
Speaker 6: advance with embolizations because essentially getting an intravenous in your wrist,
19:10
Speaker 6: your under sedation so you don't feel anything, takes us
19:14
Speaker 6: about thirty to forty five minutes to embolize. We use
19:16
Speaker 6: these little microbeads that we get into the arteries that
19:19
Speaker 6: are feeding the fibers, because the fibers are essentially just
19:22
Speaker 6: benign tumors, and so we're just basically cut off the
19:25
Speaker 6: blood supply and then within a couple of weeks the
19:29
Speaker 6: tumors just contract and all the symptoms go away.
19:32
Speaker 4: It's highly effective.
19:34
Speaker 6: It essentially markedly reduces that need forever needing a hysterectomy, right,
19:40
Speaker 6: was right.
19:40
Speaker 3: Which is a barbaric yeah, right.
19:43
Speaker 6: I mean think if men had a problem when we
19:46
Speaker 6: told them that's what they needed to have done.
19:48
Speaker 4: How many of them would go for that?
19:50
Speaker 1: Exactly?
19:51
Speaker 7: So a hysterecon me, that's something that you that would
19:54
Speaker 7: prevent getting one, Yes, a little later, because I noticed
19:57
Speaker 7: women are having to get them even earlier in their lives.
20:00
Speaker 4: That's exactly right, Yeah, that dam So.
20:04
Speaker 1: How do we give aways some free heart scans?
20:05
Speaker 6: Doctor Pulmilson right now, right now, you could give away
20:08
Speaker 6: as many as you want anyone who calls in.
20:10
Speaker 1: Don't say that now you got millions, Charlavan.
20:13
Speaker 6: You know, we give away one every week. We've been
20:16
Speaker 6: doing it for last year. This year, we give away
20:19
Speaker 6: one every week, and we you know these patients that
20:24
Speaker 6: come in. You know, last week, two weeks ago, a
20:27
Speaker 6: woman came in, she won free heart scan, ended up
20:30
Speaker 6: getting two stents one day and coming back for you
20:34
Speaker 6: know what I mean. So people are finding things, so
20:36
Speaker 6: we're glad to do it. So I'll leave it open
20:39
Speaker 6: to you. You know, my heart is open.
20:41
Speaker 4: It's all love here.
20:42
Speaker 6: So we'll give away fifty one hundred whatever you'd like
20:45
Speaker 6: to do. We just want people because when people come
20:47
Speaker 6: in for their free heart scans, we're checking their blood
20:50
Speaker 6: pressure if they let us.
20:51
Speaker 4: We check blood, we find out if they're diabetic.
20:53
Speaker 6: You know, we'll go over their medicines with them, and
20:57
Speaker 6: so we find so many other things that we could
20:59
Speaker 6: be help, whether they stay with us or not, or
21:02
Speaker 6: they take it back to their you know, their community.
21:05
Speaker 4: Uh. So we're glad to do it.
