And he did a surgery where you go in your stomach and you shoot that nerve with Botox.

And it worked.
Uchenna OssaiGUEST
Well, good job, mom and dad.
Uchenna OssaiGUEST
So, you know, prior to being at University of Utah, I was at Houston Methodist Hospital, Baylor College of Medicine, and most recently, University of Texas Dell Medical School, where we did this, where we educated our residents, our fellows, our med students on these issues so that they can recognize that and understand how it's going to be managed and navigated.
Uchenna OssaiGUEST
Now, that isn't commonplace.
Uchenna OssaiGUEST
So that's actually novel.

All these hospital systems are making bajillions of dollars off of illness.

At Methodist in Houston, I make a joke all the time where I say some patients just really like MRI.
Larry BailletHOST
So if you want an MRI, I'll order an MRI.
Larry BailletHOST
What is the role of the physical therapist in this kind of category of injury?
Nyla SchwabHOST
It was, it's funny looking back, but my husband received a heart for valve, um, In one hospital at Birmingham, but had to have a second open heart surgery in Houston.
Nyla SchwabHOST
And so we were at the Methodist on the transplant floor.
Nyla SchwabHOST
And so every just when you were talking about, you know, the recovery, I just it was hard.
Nyla SchwabHOST
because they had had to open his chest twice and his age.

Well, I would say these days, especially at Houston Methodist, we are widely using it across our organization.
Michelle StansburyGUEST
One for our patients as they're absolutely calling in, trying to get appointments.
Pedro RamirezHOST
Okay.
Pedro RamirezHOST
This next question comes from Paula Mateo here at Houston Methodist, and she's asking, if in low volume centers, higher utilization of neoadjuvant chemotherapy is associated with lower odds of mortality compared to low utilization, how would you explain the fact that the curve in low volume centers plateaus as neoadjuvant chemotherapy use continues to increase?
Alex MelamedGUEST
Yeah, I mean, I think that that plateau is a really, really interesting finding and one of the unexpected findings, and particularly that that plateau was only in low volume hospitals.
Alex MelamedGUEST
First of all, I think eventually you would hit that plateau at some use of neoadjuvant in any setting, meaning like, you know, in the high volume hospitals, we only really were able to look out to a neoadjuvant rate of 60% or so.
Emily BrighamGUEST
We had a few speakers at the outset of our workshop.
Emily BrighamGUEST
Dr. Hardeep Singh, who's the inaugural director of safety, quality, and well-being institute at Houston Methodist, as well as Amy Collins, who is the medical director for Healthcare Without Harm Institute.
Emily BrighamGUEST
And they gave some great introductory talks to really get us started for this.
Emily BrighamGUEST
And we settled on a framework for interventions on micro, macro, and meso.
Rick JacobyHOST
Well, let's go to a nerve that no one would think about.

Rick JacobyHOST
So I said, Dr. Cook, let's talk about tunnels.
