Dr Mario E. Motta joins Ethics Talk to discuss his article: “We’re All Healthier Under a Starry Sky.”

Dr Cynthia Geppert joins Ethics Talk to discuss her article: “How Should MLP Clinicians and Attorneys Help Veterans Secure Disability Benefits When Health Records Documentation Is Insufficient?”

MLPs in the VHA help minimize ethical tensions that tend to come up when diagnosing and documenting disability.

Clinicians with obligations to patients and to organizations often assess patients in law enforcement for both therapeutic and nontherapeutic purposes.

Tabitha E. H. Moses, MS joins Ethics Talk to discuss her article, coauthored with Dr Arash Javanbakht: “How Should Clinicians Determine a Traumatized Patient’s Readiness to Return to Work?”

Dr Charles Binkley joins Ethics Talk to discuss his article, coauthored with Michael Politz and Dr Brian Green: "Who, If Not the FDA, Should Regulate Implantable Brain-Computer Interface Devices?"

Complications of caring for extreme prematurity should be discussed and decisons shared.
