Medicare: What You Don't Know Might Scare You
Derm-It Trotter! Don't Swear About Skincare.

Medicare is nearing a breaking point that threatens healthcare access for everyone—not just seniors. In this eye-opening conversation with dermatologists Dr. Andrew Weinstein and Dr. Brad Glick, we uncover how decades of Medicare cuts have created an unsustainable situation for medical practices across America.
"Medicare reimbursement is lower now than it was in 1998," Dr. Weinstein reveals, highlighting a troubling reality that most patients don't realize. While inflation continues to drive up the cost of running a medical practice—from staff wages to supplies—Medicare payments have been steadily declining. This isn't just about physician compensation; it's about the ability to keep practices open and accessible to patients who need care.
We explore the structural differences between Medicare and Medicaid, break down Medicare's alphabet soup (Parts A, B, C, and D), and discuss why the current physician fee schedule is fundamentally flawed. Most critically, we examine why this matters to everyone—not just current Medicare beneficiaries. Dr. Glick explains, "If a doctor decides not to take Medicare, those doors are closed to patients needing specialized care.
The conversation takes an urgent turn as we discuss potential solutions and what patients can do to help preserve Medicare for current and future generations. Physicians aren't asking for excessive profits; they're fighting to maintain a system where they can afford to keep serving their communities without sacrificing the quality of care.
Whether you're currently on Medicare, paying into it through your paycheck, or simply concerned about healthcare access in America, this discussion offers essential insights into a crisis that demands immediate attention.

Dr. Shannon Trotter and Dr. Elizabeth Muennich dive into the sensitive topic of vaginal skincare to separate fact from fiction and offer practical advice for women. They discuss the differences between external and internal vaginal skin, proper care techniques, and treatment options for common concerns.
• Vaginal skin consists of two types: regular skin on the outside and more sensitive mucosal tissue on the inside
• The vagina is self-cleaning and requires minimal intervention - aggressive cleaning disrupts natural bacteria balance
• "Vagacials" and specialized vaginal products are generally unnecessary and can potentially cause irritation
• Simple moisturizers like petroleum jelly work best for external dryness, while internal dryness may indicate a medical condition
• Breathable cotton underwear and fragrance-free laundry products help prevent irritation
• Quality lubrication from reputable brands is important for preventing friction during sexual activity
• Non-surgical options like radiofrequency treatments can address vaginal atrophy, laxity, and stress incontinence
