Alia JafferGUEST
Yes, absolutely.
Alia JafferGUEST
I was joking with you that we had this oncology unit, and we actually-- 'cause I went to University of Houston, we had all the Texas Medical Center clinical pharmacists come in and teach us in our third, um, year and our fourth year.
Alia JafferGUEST
And we had this entire group of clinical pharmacists come from MD Anderson, and they did this six-week unit.
Alia JafferGUEST
And you know, you learn all these things from an academic perspective, but it's very different when it is you're talking about patient X, Y, Z and it's not about you.
Mark KennedyGUEST
Let me answer it with an example.
Mark KennedyGUEST
In early 1989, I was working at a large hospital in the Texas Medical Center.
Mark KennedyGUEST
I was made aware of a problem by a PhD at Rice University that the TMC, the entire property, 800 acres, was subsiding from years of water well pumping in that region.
Mark KennedyGUEST
So basically, the FEMA flood maps were not accurately affecting the subsidence, which was in the range of feet rather than just inches.
Mark KennedyGUEST
But by connecting the project to the institution's missions, which was really based on a defend in place kind of care, we were able to get that project funded.
Mark KennedyGUEST
Took first productive use of that project on May 24th, 2001.
Mark KennedyGUEST
And then 13 days later, Tropical Storm Allison devastated the Texas Medical Center.
Mark KennedyGUEST
It's well documented.

"Can you come talk to us about the, your findings on vaccines? Because we would like to sell vaccine, uh, compliance, not just for getting the vaccine for preventing the flu, but also for maybe having an effect on the risk of Alzheimer's."

Gregory WilliamsHOST

Gregory WilliamsHOST
And that's kind of what we're going to be talking about tonight when we bring our guest in.
Michael ChangGUEST
regardless of kind of the underlying conditions.
Bob SanbornHOST
Dr. Chang, in local news, we saw the Texas Medical Center yesterday sort of get up to speed, you know, like on alert because of this storm that turned out to be not really a storm, certainly for our area.
Bob SanbornHOST
You were probably on alert as well.
Bob SanbornHOST
