UCLA Health

And today, she uses her voice to remind others that resilience, hope, and healing are possible.

Joining Jessalyn are three members of her UCLA Health care team, breast medical oncologist, Dr. Ashani Masters, breast surgical oncologist, Dr. Jennifer Baker, and radiation oncologist, Dr. Susie McCloskey.

And toda- together, we're gonna follow Jessalyn's journey from finding the first change through diagnosis, treatment, returning to work and life after cancer.

And along the way, we'll explore difficult decisions, teamwork, and what personalized cancer looks like and feels like from all sides.

That's great.

Mm-hmm.

I mean, and I'll, I'll, I, Jesslyn, I do wanna ask you, too, I mean, when you think about the first appointments, you know, again, I realize it was sequential just getting to UCLA Health, but it's a lot, on top of all this imaging and the biopsy and then you're meeting with all these doctors, I mean, it's very overwhelming, not to mention you're trying to work and also manage everyone around you.

Mm-hmm.

Yes, yes, yes

... it's, it's a joke that makes the audience very sad when I would say my mom donated her body to UCLA Medical, and then ...

It was my stepdad that told me that.

I didn't, I didn't know where she was.

[singing] Do, do, do, do-do, oh, dun, dun, hi Hi, everyone.

Welcome back to Medically Speaking from UCLA Health.

I'm your host, Dr. Eve Glazer.

Today, we're talking about something many of us have experienced, that burning feeling after a meal, the sour taste in the back of the throat, the cough that shows up at night, or the realization that lying flat after that dinner was perhaps not your finest medical decision moment.

What's exactly happening when you have reflux, what helps, what deserves caution, when are simple changes enough, and when is it time to stop guessing and get evaluated? And my guest today is Dr.

Kevin Ghassemi.

He's a gastroenterologist at UCLA Health, expert in esophageal disorders.

Thank you.

We do have survivors in the water.

And two people were airlifted to UCLA Medical Center.

We still don't know their conditions, but as far as we know, they survived.

Two others were pronounced dead at the scene, unfortunately, and the search is still underway for the fifth person.

Hi, everyone.

Welcome back to Medically Speaking from UCLA Health.

I'm your host, Dr. Eve Glazier.

Most of us have had an infection, maybe pneumonia, a urinary tract infection, an infected wound, or an illness that initially seemed fairly routine.

We're going to talk about what sepsis actually is, what changes should raise concern, what happens when someone arrives at the hospital, and how patients and families can be helpful participants in their care.

We're also going to talk about something that receives a little bit less attention, which is what recovery can look like after sepsis.

My guest today is Dr. Russell Kerbel, a UCLA health hospitalist with expertise in sepsis quality improvement, clinical informatics, and the systems that help care teams recognize and respond to patients whose conditions may be changing quickly.

He is deeply passionate about sepsis.
