“I used to be the largest dairy consumer on the planet. I used to eat so much dairy and meat. The more that I looked into the dairy industry, the more that I saw that it was the singular, most inhumane industry on the planet, that we've all been lied to, including myself, for years. I always believed that the picture on the milk carton, the cow standing next to her calf in the green field with the red barn in the back was true. It’s certainly the complete opposite.” – Richard (Kudo) Couto Richard (Kudo) Couto is the founder of Animal Recovery Mission (ARM), an organization solely dedicated to investigating extreme animal cruelty cases. ARM has led high-risk undercover operations that have resulted in the shutdown of illegal slaughterhouses, animal fighting rings, and horse meat trafficking networks. Recently, they released a damning investigation into two industrial dairy farms outside of Phoenix, Arizona supplying milk to Coca-Cola’s Fairlife brand. What they uncovered was systemic animal abuse, environmental violations, and a devastating betrayal of consumer trust. While Fairlife markets its products as being sourced "humanely," ARM’s footage tells a very different story—one of suffering, abuse, and corporate complicity.

Dr. Carly Floyd joins the podcast to discuss issues with Cabenuva billing that has negatively impacted many patients, providers and clinics around the US. What seems like it should be simple approval process has turned into a medical billing nightmare that limits patients access, costs some clinics to lose money and has been a major issue with how we treat HIV.

Why can't patients get a medication that will work for them without jumping through hoops? Why can't they buy them OTC from the pharmacy? This is the premise that prompted Dr. James Lott to start Scripted.co and help provide an answer to this common healthcare problem that results in mountains of wasteful or extra spending in healthcare. Why can't the pharmacist use their knowledge of medications, easy to diagnose tools and even patient specific information to provide a cost effective option for patients without sending them away to other very expensive options, or even cause them to not get care at all? Here is the article Dr. Lott wrote for Crain's Chicago: https://www.chicagobusiness.com/opinion/illinois-can-save-millions-making-meds-over-counter Here is the company he helped start to answer this simple, yet currently complex, question in healthcare: https://www.scripted.co/…

34:06

Early on in the COVID-19 pandemic, two pharmacists were researching working conditions in pharmacy. While they largely found that working conditions across the field of pharmacy were not good, it was really bad in chain pharmacies. Now this is coming to a head as many chain pharmacies can't find staff and are doing everything they can to bring on new people, with little impact. Dr. Jenny Beal and Dr. Mercedes Clabaugh authored the research paper, "Perceptions of working conditions and safety concerns in community pharmacy" and did an amazing job! So much so that the American Pharmacists Association published in in their publication, Journal of the American Pharmacists Association. This dovetails with the #PizzaIsNotWorking movement that Dr. Tanoe covered last episode.
