Long Form (multi topic, hourly/full show)

1. Dr. FRED BUCKHOLD, SLU Care General Internist at SSM Health Saint Louis University Hospital, and a professor of medicine at St. Louis University School of Medicine. Dr. Buckhold just got back from a medical conference in Boston -- where he gave a speech on the use of a daily aspirin in patients who have not had a prior heart attack as a form of prevention.  He says that long held belief doesn't pan out - and he would not recommend it.  A new report finds long term outcomes after rehab are not very good for Medicare Advantage patients.  Dr. Buckhold agrees.  And Dr. Buckhold explains why good doctors aren't afraid to go onto the internet and look for answers to conditions that they might not be totally familiar with because of its rarity.  He says AI should be able to help doctors gather info they need.
2. Dr. JADE JAMES-HALPERT, OBGYN at SSM Health DePaul Hospital.  Each year in the United States, hundreds of people die during pregnancy or in the year after giving birth.  For women of color, the problem is only getting worse.  This past week was Black Maternal Health Week.  What are the risks black mothers face?  Why the disparity?  Is post-partum care getting the focus it deserves in the U.S.?  Dr. James-Halpert talked with KMOX's MEGAN LYNCH and TOM ACKERMAN.
3. SHANNON MILLER, 7-time Olympic gymnastics medalist.  In 2011, Shannon Miller was diagnosed with a rare form of ovarian cancer.  She survived but suffered a lot of GI problems while going through chemo.  She is offering advice and hope for cancer patients dealing with chemo.  She advocates supportive care -- and use of the Enterade drink to help deal with symptoms.  How did her sports background help her in her struggle?  What's her take on the 2024 USA Olympic gymnastic hopefuls?
4. Dr. MARC SIEGEL, FOX News Chief Medical Correspondent and Dr. THOMAS SILER, medical director of the Sleep Laboratory and Pulmonary Rehab Clinic at SSM Health St. Joseph Hospital in St. Charles -- and a sleep medicine specialist.  A new Gallup poll finds a majority of Americans say they would feel better if they could get more sleep. What is the biggest sleep problem seen by doctors?  Sleep Apnea.  Insomnia is the biggest sleep issue experienced. Tips for getting better sleep?
