3/29/25 S11 E20: DR. ANGELA KOKKOSIS - DVT, STORY OF RECOVERY WARREN FREDERICKSON, DR. BONATI DISCUSSES "TRANSITIONAL CANCER TREATMENTS", and EMILY BERNING - SCOTUS TO RULE ON ABORTION PILLS IN PHARMACIES.

In this episode of American Medicine Today, hosts Kimberly Bromel Bonati and Ethan Youker delve into critical health topics ranging from Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) to the ongoing debate surrounding abortion pills. March marks Deep Vein Thrombosis Awareness Month, and Dr. Angela Kokkosis, Director of the Center for Vein Care and the DVT team at Stony Brook Medicine, joins the discussion to shed light on this condition. Dr.

Kokkosis explains that DVT is a clot found in the deep veins, often in the legs and sometimes in the arms, and highlights the risks associated with prolonged immobility, such as long flights or sitting for extended periods. She emphasizes the importance of non-invasive tests such as ultrasounds to diagnose DVT effectively. The podcast also explores the Bonati Spine Procedures, which offer innovative alternatives to traditional spine surgeries.

These procedures minimize scarring, anesthesia, and recovery time, providing relief to patients who have suffered from chronic pain due to failed fusion surgeries. On a different note, the episode addresses the Supreme Court's impending decision on whether abortion pills can continue to be distributed by mail and pharmacies nationwide. Emily Berning discusses the implications of this case, highlighting the significance of abortion pill reversal.

She explains that the reversal process involves administering progesterone to counteract the effects of the first abortion pill, offering hope to those who might reconsider their decision. Throughout the episode, the hosts engage in informative and sometimes controversial discussions, aiming to provide their audience with diverse perspectives on significant medical and ethical topics. Whether discussing innovations in vein care or pivotal legal debates, American Medicine Today continues to inform and challenge its listeners.
