Speaker 1 (00:11):
You are about to listen to the Doctor Dahlia Show,
sassy stimulating medical talk radio. Any medical advice doctor Dhalia
Wax gives on her show should not be substituted for
an actual visit to your medical provider. And now here's
doctor Dahlia.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
All right, we are back up the Doctor Dalia Shaw.
Thank you all for tuning in.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
One eight seven seven Doctor DOLLI one eight seven seven
D O C D A L. I. So I'm honest
with you all. Sometimes we'll be too honest. And you know,
one thing that really traumatized me. And I'm not very
easily traumatized. Remember I've been through my house burning down, rape,
(00:59):
multiple car accidents. There's enough things in my life that
traumatized could be traumatizing to anybody. I don't traumatize easily,
but I think I was kind of traumatized by what
(01:21):
happened over the last decade where you had to stay
quiet if you didn't follow the.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
I guess the left.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
And when I saw the canceling and people losing jobs,
people getting.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Fired or sidelined.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
And discriminated against, and banks not giving them credit lines,
and and you know, nurses losing their job if they
didn't want to get a COVID vaccine.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
This it scared me.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
I remember, I was raised in family that by family
that you know, survived the Holocaust, and so you know,
we've learned in my religion and in my ethnicity to
be able to pick up on when there's an abuse
of power and when people are taking advantage or acting
fascist or discriminated against you. And I really, I really
(02:26):
did not like what I was seeing the United States become.
And so when Trump won, whether you like Trump or not,
one thing that allowed me to breathe a sigh of
relief is the idea that, okay.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
You're not the point.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
One percent of the country and such an outlier if
you support conservative ideologies, whether you support Trump or not.
And so even the medical profession was sidelining individuals if
(03:12):
they weren't on board with what Biden and everybody else
was pushing. And that scared me because my now, my
safety net is is my I mean, my income.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
I want to be able to support my family.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
And I saw colleagues not be able to get hired
from any hospital system because they wouldn't take a COVID vaccine.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
That scared me. And so the.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Idea of people preaching to the choir, like what happened
with bud Light, what's happening with Cracker Barrel. I know
people are saying, is Cracker Barrel really this newsworthy?
Speaker 2 (03:52):
They changed the logo.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
You know, Trump is weighing in on it, you know,
telling them that, you know, if they made a mistake,
go back. You know, they got a dollars worth of
free publicity if they play their cards right.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Very tricky to do.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
They have a great opportunity to make Cracker Barrel a
winner again. You know, Cracker Barrel, I guess face blacklash
when they try to take away the more homey Midwest
feeling or Southern feeling of the restaurant, and you know,
simplifying their logo and that just you know, made headlines,
et cetera. And you know, people ask, why is it
such a big deal? Well, to me, what I see
(04:27):
the big deal in is if a company thinks they're
preaching to the court.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
When a company makes a.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Change, and like they did with bud Light, with a
Dylan mulvaney, a transgender individual dancing around at a bathtub,
you know, and not that that represents women, I don't.
I know they were trying to be pro women and
pro transgender, but that you know, the average woman does
not want people to think that during a busy day,
when they're working and trying to support their family and
(04:54):
manage you know, all their their you know, household duties
and chores and all that, that they have time to
sit in a bathtub with jewelry on.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
So I thought that was kind of poor marketing even
in that respect.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
But what really bothered me is when you see companies
do this or movies do this, you know, and everything
is woke. You know, it's like Hollywood is trying to
marginalize and say, look, you're something's wrong with you if
you don't think like we do. And when you see
Trump win, when you see these companies, you know, get
(05:32):
backlash and and and you know, not necessarily getting the
business because they decide to go, oh no, no, no,
we're not We're not you know, at all trying to cater.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
To those individuals. It's the whole Stephen Colbert thing.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
His show lost money. Of course, his show lost money.
His guest stars are Adam Schiff, Elizabeth Warren. That's not entertainment.
And so I feel like we're going to be less
traumatizing to Americans. If Americans feel like they could be
who they want to be and they could oh support
(06:10):
who they want to support, it's still not like that.
I have friends in California who work in the entertainment
industry that say they have to keep quiet. Well, then
that's in not America. Then that's not a free country.
You should very easily in California be able to support
who you want to support. But unfortunately people feel fearful.
(06:31):
That's not the America I know. And I don't want
to see stores have backlash. I don't want to see,
you know, people go under and businesses lose money. But
what I do want to see is the lesson learned.
You know, don't be misguided and think that everybody is
thinking the same way you are.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
And it blows my mind how narrow minded people are.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
And I was talking to women I think we were gosh,
we might have been in temple or something, and you know,
she was talking about, oh my gosh, guns, I can't
believe people carry guns. And I'm like, well, I can't
believe people don't. I want to protect my family, and
I'm like, you know, half the people in this room
are probably carrying a gun. They probably have, you know,
concealed carry licenses. Really, I mean she thought that was
(07:23):
unheard of. You know, maybe don't just watch MSNBC all
the time and I'll educate yourselves. Look at all the
news or watch non you know, politically biased shows. But
I see the narrow mindedness and the idea that you know,
I'm such an anomaly because I'm conservative, is is wrong
(07:44):
and it's un American one eight seven seven, Doctor doll.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
They don't go.
Speaker 4 (07:48):

d O C D A L I, Big things to

We really do appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Don't forget to follow us on Twitter or x A

getting asked is does marijuana help sex or hurt sex?
If you are having issues in the bedroom or issues
in terms of desire or in terms of erections, or
(10:58):
tubes in terms of lubrication, do you smoke some weed
or do you not? And it's interesting how the I
don't want to call it the science per se, because
I think we need more science, we need more studies.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
But kind of conflicting.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
You have individuals that, as they know it helped, It
makes everything wonderful, wasn't it Annie Hall? Right where the
Diane Keaton character, I think she was Annie Hall would
always have to smoke pot before she slept with whoever
the main character.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Was at Andie Hall.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
So yeah, you know, so it's definitely a conversation worth
having because I'm getting a lot of patients that are
having shall we say, changes below the waist, and when
I asked them about the marijuana use, they immediately get defensive, going, well,
it's not that there's no way because I think that helps.
(11:57):
And I'm like, it could be affecting dryness down there
and could be affecting your erections.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
So what do we know? Well, okay, let's talk about
the positives.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
So marijuana, for some can make individuals more relaxed, right, Yeah,
So they might be a little bit less inhibited. They
may not be as shall we say nervous about you know,
the the process, and so it might allow the the
(12:31):
beginning aspects of it to go well. For some individuals,
they might actually find that it helps erections, or that
it helps get them in the mood you know it is.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
So it really depends on the person.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
If they're more tense and tight and and you know,
they they anxious about things that could change them being
ready for sexual intercourse, and if marijuana inhibits that, then
they may be able to, shall we say, engage. Yeah,
I gotta be really really careful the way I speak
on this. We still still have FCC rules. And there's
(13:08):
some people are saying that they have increased pleasure that
when they are high, sex feels better.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Okay, I wouldn't know, so I mean, to me, it's
all good.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
I don't need to make it feel better, but it
that's what some people are saying, that there is more
intensity with this. And then some people feel that they're
using their marijuana.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
To increase their focus.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Rather than them being more distracted or attention deficit or
or worried about other things, they could be more focused
on sex. And remember I told you when we were
talking about lack of sex drive and sex drive dropping.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Sometimes it's you know, people's hormones.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Sometimes it's people's evolutionary changes. Where whereas the body, the
human body, the human species finds that there's more birth
defects the older you are, and so you naturally start
to lose your sex drive. The more worrisome it is
for you to have progeny, and so our sex drive
starts to drop.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Because in caveman days.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
The grandma's their role would help the human species more
by them doing caretaking and helping moms with they're young,
rather than them going and getting pregnant. And so, you know,
whereas the male species are still able to populate. Even
though older fathers can still cause birth defects, we have
seen rises in birth effects with older fathers. An older
(14:37):
mother has a higher risk of birth defects and maternal complications.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
So sometimes our drive just naturally drops.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
But also one thing about sex drive and it changing
is you know, when you're younger, a fire truck could
drive into the apartment or house and you wouldn't care.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Nothing's going to change. We're gonna finish what we're doing.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Whereas as you get older, you know, oh what I'm
hearing the kids, or there's somebody outside, or the dog
is marking, or and so you end up getting more distracted.
So they're saying marijuana might help people become less distracted,
so that it's not you know, it's like it was
when you were younger, where you didn't care for a
hurricane was happening. You're just doing your thing. Okay, So
(15:25):
what about the negative effects. Well, with the negative effects,
there are some individuals who get more paranoid, who get
more anxious on the medication. So you know, then if
you're like somebody like me going, oh god, I don't
I don't want to see me naked. No, I'm not
feeling as free. I'm like, oh no, no, no, my
hair no.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
You know, so for some.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Individuals, they might get more anxious or they might get
more paranoid, and they might rethink and overthink and that
could obviously hurt the sexual encounter. Vagil A dryness can
happen with marijuana, and so if you don't want you know,
pain and and chafing and tearing and you know, that
(16:06):
could be an issue. And some men do report a
rectyl dysfunction in terms of maintaining an erection, keeping the erections,
starting the erection.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Those are things that are a big concern.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
And then of course you know heart rates and there's
like psychosis that's been reported with marijuana and things like that.
So I usually do not recommend people being under the
influence in medicine, we never want somebody under the influence
with our having sex. We want to make sure you're
giving inform of consent. We don't want you drunk. We
don't want you I understand people say I want to
(16:41):
get drunk, get you know, get laid or whatever, that
we don't recommend that. We think one of the reasons
why we have such a rise in STDs and sdis
sexually transmitted illnesses is because we have people that are
not necessarily focused on the condoms or making the right
decisions and protecting them and being a little bit more
(17:01):
diligent because they're under the influence.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
So to answer people's questions, does marijuana hurt or help?
Speaker 3 (17:09):
I would be on the side of EH. Now probably not,
I know the best thing for the situation. But we
have a growing, growing population who was very addicted and
dependent and getting tolerant to their marijuana use, and that
is a growing problem.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Yeah. I voted to legalize it. I told you guys,
I did.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
When Nevada off had it on the ballot to legalize marijuana,
I voted for it because I wanted our police free
to deal with other crimes and not have to necessarily address,
you know, somebody having a bag of weed in their car.
I wanted us to be able to study it for
medical applications, and I wanted there to be something for
(17:53):
those individuals who were not able to get pain medication.
Now that there's all the changes going on with pain medications,
I wanted to at least be some easier access if
people needed it to help control pain, because I didn't
want to see suicides go up as people are struggling
to control their pain. So there were there were my
(18:14):
reasons for legalizing it. The problem is, and I regret,
although I still would have probably still voted any way
for legalization of it, but a big regret I have
is how many people are using it and it is abiquitous.
It is, it's ridiculous, and I don't know if it's
surpassing alcohol use, but for some people, their marijuana is
(18:35):
cheaper than alcohol these days, especially in Las Vegas, which
the Strip has to figure this out because you can't
be selling twenty five dollars drinks and thinking our tourism
is going to stay up.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
That's a whole another subject for a different day.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
But people are finding marijuana, not the gummies, but marijuana to.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Be a cheaper way to now become under the influence.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
And so we're One concern I do have is where
are we going in terms of our daily activities, whether
it's sex, whether it's sleep, whether it's work. We have
individuals where they can't sleep unless they smoke weed. I
had somebody call in over the weekend very nauseated, so
he was asking for mor nausea medicine and other telemedicine.
(19:19):
Doctors kept giving him nausea medicine. So I asked him
how much marijuana do you use? And he goes, I
only use it nightly, and like, this might not be
a stomach bug if you're not having any other symptoms.
This could because of your marijuana. He goes, But I
needed to sleep. So we've started to become accustomed to
using other things to get us through daily functions. We
(19:42):
should be able to sleep on our own. We should
be able to have sex with our partner without needing
something else. Now, we should be able to get through work,
get through life, get through our marriage, get through child
care without needing a crutch.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
But unfortunately we do ans society has been a lot
more shall we.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Say, uh, empathetic and open to us saying look, I
have issues, I need help. We want people to ask
for help. We want people to feel like they could
get help if they need and we are not stigmatizing that.
And now that marijuana is legal, rather than people going
to a medical provider saying look, I have a sleeping
(20:23):
issue and insomnia issue. I have an issue with alcohol.
I have an issue with intimacy. I have an issue
with anxiety or depression. I have an issue with work.
They're self medicating with marijuana, which I think is going
to make our mental health crisis worse. So my recommendation
is no on using marijuana for sex one eight seven
(20:43):
seven doct that they don't go away.
Speaker 7 (21:01):
At Hotshot Secret, we share the science behind common diesel
problems in their solutions.
Speaker 8 (21:06):
For example, diesel fuel setane levels.
Speaker 7 (21:08):
In many states, the setane rating and diesel fuel is
forty two to forty five. Most diesel engines operate more
efficiently with the cetane rating of forty eight to fifty one.
Treatment of hot Shot Secret Diesel Extreme will raise your
seatane seven points, increase fuel economy, and improve cold starts.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
Right, we are back on Doctor Li Show.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Thank you all for tuning in one eight seven seven
DOCODOLLI one eight seven seven.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
D O C D A L I. So, if you
are anything.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Like me, you are worried about retirement. I don't see
how I could retire. Uh, there's there's no way. With
food prices and house and mortgage, and every time we
finished paying off a car, something happens to it. I
(22:53):
don't know if I told you my husband had a
truck paid off. We by used so we're able to
pay it off. Sooner than what a new car would be.
But he had a truck paid off, everything good, And
he tells me that while he's driving down the highway,
(23:13):
it just stops.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
It's like electrical failure. And I'm like, are you kidding me? What?
Speaker 3 (23:21):
And he said, yeah, this is the second time it happened.
You're just telling me about this now. Well he's telling
me about it now because he wanted me. You see,
my husband knows how to you know, I might know
how to work my husband right and win fights, but
he knows exactly how to deal with me. If it's
my idea, it happens, so he has to somehow figure
(23:43):
out how to make it my idea. So he tells me, yeah,
the car just died while I was driving on the freeway.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
I go, you need a new truck.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Now, let's pull somebody together, get a down payment, trade
it in, try to get a good value. But the
second time this happened, he was like, okay, you know, reluctant,
really okay if.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
You think I need any truck?
Speaker 3 (24:09):
So ah, I know he worked me. It's okay, it
didn't really happen twice.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
I believe him. He doesn't lie to me.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Too much so, I believe that it happened twice. But
that's that's frightening all the way. Come to think of it,
you would think I would have heard about it the
first time it happened, because he would have needed a ride. Sah,
something's fishy.
Speaker 7 (24:32):
You know what, You know what?
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Maybe he is lying to me. Well, as it stands,
he got a new used truck.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
And because the trade in value was only worth so
much and for what he wanted.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Now we're back to having another car payment, and I'm
sick of it. I'm sick of it.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
My first car I got for twelve, no, eighteen hundred dollars,
no air conditioning. It was a Chevy Chavette, and I
made payments. I didn't finance. It was my very first
time buying a car. I was with my friend Woodie,
and we go to the car, the used car place,
and I get him to bring down the price from
twenty three hundred to eighteen hundred.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
They go, okay, we need eighteen hundred dollars.
Speaker 10 (25:16):
Ago.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
I don't have eighteen hundred dollars. I have two hundred.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
I work at Jack in the Box and make it
four dollars an hour, so I'm going to do what
I can to.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
This is in the nineties. Yeah, to make payments.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
He goes, well, then you have to finance it. And
I'm like, so does that mean it's going to cost more?
They go, yeah, that's how finance works.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Okay. I was a biology major.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
In my defense, I was pre med, so I didn't
understand a lot of the financing things. I understood interest,
and I said, no, my total price has to be
no more than eighteen hundred. So if you're going to
finance it for me, we got to then lower the
price because I don't want to pay more than eighteen
hundred dollars for this car.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
If not, I'm out of here.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
And so that's how they they go, you know what,
just make the payments.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Although we have to think of it.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
Eighteen hundred dollars for a Chevy Chavette with no air
conditioning I think was an eighty six Chevy Chavette.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Well, because the air condition broke, you know what, I
needed it. I got by.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
I did what I had to and it's it was
a car worked out great. But then I had to
go to medical school and that Chevy Chavette would not
really do well in snow. So I had to get
myself a truck, and I bought an Isuzu Isusu truck
for sixty two hundred dollars brand new because I needed
(26:36):
a warranty and that one I did have to finance
and make payments, so I waited tables while in medical school,
and with my tip money, I was able to pay
it off. And the feeling of paying off a car
that it's it's amazing, It's like no other.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
But my whole life has been I have to pay.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Something off, and I never really put money towards to retirement.
I wanted to, but then I had family who said
I need money, I need help. My dad dies, so
my brother is still in high school and my mom
needed help. So I had to get them a place
to live support them through that had to bury my dad,
(27:19):
bury my grandmother. The money kept going, and when you
own your own business, one of the last things I
was thinking about, after paying staff and keeping the business running,
was putting money away for retirement. I did save some money,
but I never opened up a retirement account. Plus us
(27:42):
gen Xers, I can't speak for all gen Xers, but.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
We remember Black Monday.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
We remember being scared of stock market crashes and the
stock market. I think we had some apprehension more than
some of the other generations.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
And so for me, like, well, I'll put it in
the bank. I'll put it in the bank.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
But again, I was a biology major. I wasn't a
finance major. So it was only until recently that I
started a retirement account, which means I'm screwed. Okay, and
you hear, like Dave Ramsey says, you know, half the
people in this country don't have a retirement account. One
thing that I really like about the Big Beautiful Bill
(28:27):
is Trump is giving a thousand dollars there's one thousand
dollars deposit into a retirement account for children born in
twenty twenty five through twenty twenty eight. Okay, that's pretty
cool that that is going to hopefully help children start
(28:51):
their retirement account. So the issue we have in this
country is we don't have enough money for Medicare, we
don't have enough money for Social Security.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
And the system would have worked if the.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
Majority of Americans were working putting money into the system,
and if the government didn't mismanage the money. One of mine,
one of the fallacies the biggest scam that I was
naive to fall for was I started working. I was
working three part time jobs at college. I was winning
tables in medical school. I've always worked, so I thought
(29:27):
that the money I was putting into Social Security or
Medicare had my name on it, that money would grow
by the time I needed that money when I was
sixty five, and now it's sixty seven or whatever the
age has been changed to that by the time I
need to tap in on it, it's there the account.
(29:48):
It's a safe deposit box. I get the key. No,
the government mismanages our money. The money goes to other things.
And then I get told, as the baby boomers are
now getting told and us gen x's, that the money
might not be there when you need it. What excuse me?
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Meanwhile, you know I'm paycheck to paycheck.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
I'm also paying off student loans, I'm raising two kids, working,
trying to deal with daycare and family needs and extended
family issues. And I'm expected to have put money away
such that not only can I cover my mortgage or
rent or any car payment, but also my medical expenses.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
It's impossible.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
If these Trump accounts work, and kids will start off
with one thousand dollars that could later grow into something
they could retire on.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
That could be huge.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
But are families going to withdraw it? Is somebody gonna
spend it saying you only live once? Are all kids
gonna be able to do this? Do taxpayers want to
put money into somebody else's retirement when they don't have
a retirement account.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
There's a lot of push for universal income.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
I'm mixed on that because I do not want citizens
reliant on the treasury where the only way we survive
is if the government feeds us. I don't like that
at all. But if we don't figure out how to
deal with our aging population and the high prices of things,
(31:46):
and most of us are not having enough of a
retirement account, we got problems.

Speaker 2 (34:17):
All right, we are back on the doctor building issue.
Speaker 3 (34:20):
Thank you all for tuning in one eight seven seven
doctor DOLLI one eight seven seven d O C d Ali.
So the demand for do it yourself medicine is skyrocketing.
People are done with going to the doctor, they are
done with going to urgent cares, going to ers. They
want to know what they could do in their home.
(34:42):
They want things brought to them, or they just pick
up what they need and do it yourself. In terms
of medicine, I don't blame them going. You know, the
way healthcare is after Obamacare, people's deductibles now are through
the roof. So for them to go and see a provider.
It costs the hundreds of dollars just out the gate
(35:04):
urgent care.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
Same thing people.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
Are telling me it's five hundred dollars just to walk
into a door of an urgent care. At least on
average er is even more expensive. And so patients now
that they have access to telemedicine, they want us to.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
Yep, treat at home. And the demand for uh.
Speaker 3 (35:27):
Like I was it Gosh, Doctor Drew, I think is
selling antibiotics that you can have at the house. And
one of my listeners asked, how do I feel about,
you know, people having their own antibotics at the house.
You know, for those of us that have kids, having
extra antibiotic eye drops right when they get an eye
infection is very handy. But the problem is is even
(35:53):
me as a doctor, I can't do everything at home
with my kids. My son had a really bad fever,
no cough, but I noticed he was breathing quickly because
in the rule of the rule in my house is
whenever the kids are really young and sick, they sleep
in Mama's bed.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
Daddy you go sleep on the.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
Couch or somewhere else because I need to monitor, you know,
the kid and so in the middle of the night,
I'm just noticing my son is breathing quickly, and I'm like,
I don't think this is flu. And he ended up
having biladderal pneumonia. The only way I knew that is
because I X rayed him. Can't do that at home.
I had to take him to the office and get
him x rayed and then we got him treated. And
(36:37):
so the worry I have is people use up their
antibiotics at home and then.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
They are still sick.
Speaker 3 (36:47):
They're talking about in Mississippi, how STDs are are, you know.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
At at an all time high.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
We're We're hearing STDs a rampant And according to w LBT,
they said, if you gather a one hundred Mississippians in
a room, one of them has an STD. They say
twelve hundred per hundred thousand Mississippians, or one out of
every one hundred has an STD. Goneriea, chlamydia, HIV, syphilis,
(37:16):
herpes one of them. And there's a boom of congenital syphilis,
babies being born with syphilis.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
According to a twenty twenty three report from.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
The CDC, Mississippi ranked third in the country for reported
cases of primary and secondary syphilis, ranked fifth for goneria,
second for chlamydia. Now, the reason why I bring that
up is many people will call up telemedicine saying, I
have Bernie one IP, it's a UTI. So they take
(37:47):
a medicine for UTI. They ask for one, they get it,
or they buy it online or they get it from
these You know, you can buy antabotics and well, you'll
have your home medical kit with the atabotic. But if
you have an STD or an STI, that antibotic is
a working.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
It's a different one.
Speaker 3 (38:10):
And so I've seen people burn through the medicines they
have at home only to still not get better. How
many antibiotics did you take to try to get rid
of your COVID and you still had the cough. So
it's nice to have emergency medicine if you need it,
(38:32):
but when you waste it on the wrong diagnosis, that's
a problem not to mention. Now you're brewing resistance and
you're gaining tolerance. So how do you avoid the ridiculous
costs to go to a doctor, treat yourself at home
(38:55):
and get the right care. One issue we have that's
make that's complicating matters is the writing off of the
medical debt. At its surface, it sounds amazing. If you
have a medical debt, it doesn't count to your credit score,
(39:17):
so people are noticing that there's no consequences.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
It gets written off.
Speaker 3 (39:24):
On the surface, that sounds wonderful, But what that is
now translated into is you don't get to walk in
to an urgent care or a doctor's office without emptying
your pockets. And can you blame these companies if people
aren't paying the bills. If people aren't paying, you could
only see patients for free so long before you have
(39:46):
to close the doors.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
That's what happened with us.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
I could have maybe lasted one more year, but when
I got a teaching job, I bounced. You could only
do so much giving free care. I want to give
free care, but with no money coming in, I got
to pay the rent. Nobody was giving me free rent,
Nobody was giving me free staff.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
Nobody was giving me.
Speaker 3 (40:11):
Free malpractice insurance or free workers' com insurance or free supplies.
So if an urgent care thinks you're going to thumb
your nose at the bill because it doesn't affect your
credit score, they're gonna say, you know what, we're going
to collect upfront, so now it's even harder to go
to the doctor and get seen. So I think the
(40:37):
best plan of action, because I want you all to
get the care you need, is one. Please, for the
love of the Lord, get yourself a primary care physician
or provider, sit down with them and explain the situation
that you're in and say, look, when I get sick
on a Saturday night, doctors used.
Speaker 2 (40:57):
To have on call.
Speaker 3 (40:58):
I know people would call me all all night long
on a Saturday night and get prescriptions for free because
we would take call.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
We don't do that anymore.
Speaker 3 (41:06):
Doctors are done working for free, although now they're paying
for telemedicine calls.
Speaker 2 (41:11):
They wouldn't pay you when I did it.
Speaker 3 (41:13):
But say, look, if it's a Saturday night and I
can't get a hold of somebody yet the emergency room
or the urgent care is so expensive, what do you recommend?
Speaker 2 (41:23):
The best plan of action is.
Speaker 3 (41:26):
Because I can't afford to drop five hundred dollars at
an urgent care and talk to them about options. If
you have some chronic or recurrent conditions. Sometimes eurologists, let's
say you do have true UTIs that are not STDs
or inneristiitises or prostate issues. Sometimes the urologists might work
with you on having a standing order for a medication.
(41:49):
But if you don't have a primary care provider, you
don't pay the primary care provider's bills. You are kind
of out there loose. Your only options are urgent care
er or telemedicine. But we will be moving towards a
system where you do things at home. In fact, your
hospital stay will be at home, not if it's a
(42:10):
a ICU or IMC level hospital stay, but the medical
home is going to be is evolving at a very
fast rate where people are saying, look, if there's no
place for me at a hospital bed, let me treat
myself at home.
Speaker 2 (42:28):
How can I treat myself at home? So I just
don't die because there's no hospital bed. And I support.
Speaker 3 (42:34):
That, because there's not enough hospital beds. We saw that
during COVID. So how do you turn your home into
a hospital, into a mini urgent care. There's going to
have to be services where doctors come to your house. Well,
how do we do that where they're safe and they
don't get attacked or rate. You know, when I was
in training, I told my husband, you know, we were
(42:55):
still doing house calls, and I remember my attending saying.
Speaker 2 (42:58):
Stop either house, this is their medicine. Give them.
Speaker 3 (43:00):
I remember my husband going, oh, hell no, you don't
go to a person's house.
Speaker 2 (43:05):
It's not safe.
Speaker 3 (43:07):
So if people are going to eventually want to do
do it yourself, or you know, call me or come
to my house and let me.
Speaker 2 (43:14):
Do it here, they're gonna have to revamp a lot
of things.
Speaker 3 (43:17):
We're gonna have to figure out how to have safety
measures in place. We're gonna figure out how to have
liability measures into place, because if you're not going in,
a doctor's not gonna necessarily want to be responsible for you.
Speaker 2 (43:29):
Doing your own care.
Speaker 3 (43:31):
And we have to figure out how to get healthcare
cheaper one eight seven seven dot dollar.

You are about to listen to the Doctor Dahlia Show,
sassy stimulating medical talk radio. Any medical advice doctor Dhalia
Wax gives on her show should not be substituted for
an actual visit to your medical provider. And now here's
doctor Dahlia.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
All right, we are back up the Doctor Dalia Shaw.
Thank you all for tuning in.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
One eight seven seven Doctor DOLLI one eight seven seven
D O C D A L. I. So I'm honest
with you all. Sometimes we'll be too honest. And you know,
one thing that really traumatized me. And I'm not very
easily traumatized. Remember I've been through my house burning down, rape,
(00:59):
multiple car accidents. There's enough things in my life that
traumatized could be traumatizing to anybody. I don't traumatize easily,
but I think I was kind of traumatized by what
(01:21):
happened over the last decade where you had to stay
quiet if you didn't follow the.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
I guess the left.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
And when I saw the canceling and people losing jobs,
people getting.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Fired or sidelined.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
And discriminated against, and banks not giving them credit lines,
and and you know, nurses losing their job if they
didn't want to get a COVID vaccine.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
This it scared me.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
I remember, I was raised in family that by family
that you know, survived the Holocaust, and so you know,
we've learned in my religion and in my ethnicity to
be able to pick up on when there's an abuse
of power and when people are taking advantage or acting
fascist or discriminated against you. And I really, I really
(02:26):
did not like what I was seeing the United States become.
And so when Trump won, whether you like Trump or not,
one thing that allowed me to breathe a sigh of
relief is the idea that, okay.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
You're not the point.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
One percent of the country and such an outlier if
you support conservative ideologies, whether you support Trump or not.
And so even the medical profession was sidelining individuals if
(03:12):
they weren't on board with what Biden and everybody else
was pushing. And that scared me because my now, my
safety net is is my I mean, my income.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
I want to be able to support my family.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
And I saw colleagues not be able to get hired
from any hospital system because they wouldn't take a COVID vaccine.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
That scared me. And so the.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Idea of people preaching to the choir, like what happened
with bud Light, what's happening with Cracker Barrel. I know
people are saying, is Cracker Barrel really this newsworthy?
Speaker 2 (03:52):
They changed the logo.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
You know, Trump is weighing in on it, you know,
telling them that, you know, if they made a mistake,
go back. You know, they got a dollars worth of
free publicity if they play their cards right.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Very tricky to do.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
They have a great opportunity to make Cracker Barrel a
winner again. You know, Cracker Barrel, I guess face blacklash
when they try to take away the more homey Midwest
feeling or Southern feeling of the restaurant, and you know,
simplifying their logo and that just you know, made headlines,
et cetera. And you know, people ask, why is it
such a big deal? Well, to me, what I see
(04:27):
the big deal in is if a company thinks they're
preaching to the court.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
When a company makes a.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Change, and like they did with bud Light, with a
Dylan mulvaney, a transgender individual dancing around at a bathtub,
you know, and not that that represents women, I don't.
I know they were trying to be pro women and
pro transgender, but that you know, the average woman does
not want people to think that during a busy day,
when they're working and trying to support their family and
(04:54):
manage you know, all their their you know, household duties
and chores and all that, that they have time to
sit in a bathtub with jewelry on.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
So I thought that was kind of poor marketing even
in that respect.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
But what really bothered me is when you see companies
do this or movies do this, you know, and everything
is woke. You know, it's like Hollywood is trying to
marginalize and say, look, you're something's wrong with you if
you don't think like we do. And when you see
Trump win, when you see these companies, you know, get
(05:32):
backlash and and and you know, not necessarily getting the
business because they decide to go, oh no, no, no,
we're not We're not you know, at all trying to cater.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
To those individuals. It's the whole Stephen Colbert thing.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
His show lost money. Of course, his show lost money.
His guest stars are Adam Schiff, Elizabeth Warren. That's not entertainment.
And so I feel like we're going to be less
traumatizing to Americans. If Americans feel like they could be
who they want to be and they could oh support
(06:10):
who they want to support, it's still not like that.
I have friends in California who work in the entertainment
industry that say they have to keep quiet. Well, then
that's in not America. Then that's not a free country.
You should very easily in California be able to support
who you want to support. But unfortunately people feel fearful.
(06:31):
That's not the America I know. And I don't want
to see stores have backlash. I don't want to see,
you know, people go under and businesses lose money. But
what I do want to see is the lesson learned.
You know, don't be misguided and think that everybody is
thinking the same way you are.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
And it blows my mind how narrow minded people are.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
And I was talking to women I think we were gosh,
we might have been in temple or something, and you know,
she was talking about, oh my gosh, guns, I can't
believe people carry guns. And I'm like, well, I can't
believe people don't. I want to protect my family, and
I'm like, you know, half the people in this room
are probably carrying a gun. They probably have, you know,
concealed carry licenses. Really, I mean she thought that was
(07:23):
unheard of. You know, maybe don't just watch MSNBC all
the time and I'll educate yourselves. Look at all the
news or watch non you know, politically biased shows. But
I see the narrow mindedness and the idea that you know,
I'm such an anomaly because I'm conservative, is is wrong
(07:44):
and it's un American one eight seven seven, Doctor doll.
Speaker 2 (07:47):

getting asked is does marijuana help sex or hurt sex?
If you are having issues in the bedroom or issues
in terms of desire or in terms of erections, or
(10:58):
tubes in terms of lubrication, do you smoke some weed
or do you not? And it's interesting how the I
don't want to call it the science per se, because
I think we need more science, we need more studies.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
But kind of conflicting.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
You have individuals that, as they know it helped, It
makes everything wonderful, wasn't it Annie Hall? Right where the
Diane Keaton character, I think she was Annie Hall would
always have to smoke pot before she slept with whoever
the main character.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Was at Andie Hall.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
So yeah, you know, so it's definitely a conversation worth
having because I'm getting a lot of patients that are
having shall we say, changes below the waist, and when
I asked them about the marijuana use, they immediately get defensive, going, well,
it's not that there's no way because I think that helps.
(11:57):
And I'm like, it could be affecting dryness down there
and could be affecting your erections.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
So what do we know? Well, okay, let's talk about
the positives.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
So marijuana, for some can make individuals more relaxed, right, Yeah,
So they might be a little bit less inhibited. They
may not be as shall we say nervous about you know,
the the process, and so it might allow the the
(12:31):
beginning aspects of it to go well. For some individuals,
they might actually find that it helps erections, or that
it helps get them in the mood you know it is.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
So it really depends on the person.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
If they're more tense and tight and and you know,
they they anxious about things that could change them being
ready for sexual intercourse, and if marijuana inhibits that, then
they may be able to, shall we say, engage. Yeah,
I gotta be really really careful the way I speak
on this. We still still have FCC rules. And there's
(13:08):
some people are saying that they have increased pleasure that
when they are high, sex feels better.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Okay, I wouldn't know, so I mean, to me, it's
all good.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
I don't need to make it feel better, but it
that's what some people are saying, that there is more
intensity with this. And then some people feel that they're
using their marijuana.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
To increase their focus.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Rather than them being more distracted or attention deficit or
or worried about other things, they could be more focused
on sex. And remember I told you when we were
talking about lack of sex drive and sex drive dropping.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Sometimes it's you know, people's hormones.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Sometimes it's people's evolutionary changes. Where whereas the body, the
human body, the human species finds that there's more birth
defects the older you are, and so you naturally start
to lose your sex drive. The more worrisome it is
for you to have progeny, and so our sex drive
starts to drop.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Because in caveman days.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
The grandma's their role would help the human species more
by them doing caretaking and helping moms with they're young,
rather than them going and getting pregnant. And so, you know,
whereas the male species are still able to populate. Even
though older fathers can still cause birth defects, we have
seen rises in birth effects with older fathers. An older
(14:37):
mother has a higher risk of birth defects and maternal complications.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
So sometimes our drive just naturally drops.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
But also one thing about sex drive and it changing
is you know, when you're younger, a fire truck could
drive into the apartment or house and you wouldn't care.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Nothing's going to change. We're gonna finish what we're doing.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Whereas as you get older, you know, oh what I'm
hearing the kids, or there's somebody outside, or the dog
is marking, or and so you end up getting more distracted.
So they're saying marijuana might help people become less distracted,
so that it's not you know, it's like it was
when you were younger, where you didn't care for a
hurricane was happening. You're just doing your thing. Okay, So
(15:25):
what about the negative effects. Well, with the negative effects,
there are some individuals who get more paranoid, who get
more anxious on the medication. So you know, then if
you're like somebody like me going, oh god, I don't
I don't want to see me naked. No, I'm not
feeling as free. I'm like, oh no, no, no, my
hair no.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
You know, so for some.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Individuals, they might get more anxious or they might get
more paranoid, and they might rethink and overthink and that
could obviously hurt the sexual encounter. Vagil A dryness can
happen with marijuana, and so if you don't want you know,
pain and and chafing and tearing and you know, that
(16:06):
could be an issue. And some men do report a
rectyl dysfunction in terms of maintaining an erection, keeping the erections,
starting the erection.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Those are things that are a big concern.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
And then of course you know heart rates and there's
like psychosis that's been reported with marijuana and things like that.
So I usually do not recommend people being under the
influence in medicine, we never want somebody under the influence
with our having sex. We want to make sure you're
giving inform of consent. We don't want you drunk. We
don't want you I understand people say I want to
(16:41):
get drunk, get you know, get laid or whatever, that
we don't recommend that. We think one of the reasons
why we have such a rise in STDs and sdis
sexually transmitted illnesses is because we have people that are
not necessarily focused on the condoms or making the right
decisions and protecting them and being a little bit more
(17:01):
diligent because they're under the influence.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
So to answer people's questions, does marijuana hurt or help?
Speaker 3 (17:09):
I would be on the side of EH. Now probably not,
I know the best thing for the situation. But we
have a growing, growing population who was very addicted and
dependent and getting tolerant to their marijuana use, and that
is a growing problem.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Yeah. I voted to legalize it. I told you guys,
I did.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
When Nevada off had it on the ballot to legalize marijuana,
I voted for it because I wanted our police free
to deal with other crimes and not have to necessarily address,
you know, somebody having a bag of weed in their car.
I wanted us to be able to study it for
medical applications, and I wanted there to be something for
(17:53):
those individuals who were not able to get pain medication.
Now that there's all the changes going on with pain medications,
I wanted to at least be some easier access if
people needed it to help control pain, because I didn't
want to see suicides go up as people are struggling
to control their pain. So there were there were my
(18:14):
reasons for legalizing it. The problem is, and I regret,
although I still would have probably still voted any way
for legalization of it, but a big regret I have
is how many people are using it and it is abiquitous.
It is, it's ridiculous, and I don't know if it's
surpassing alcohol use, but for some people, their marijuana is
(18:35):
cheaper than alcohol these days, especially in Las Vegas, which
the Strip has to figure this out because you can't
be selling twenty five dollars drinks and thinking our tourism
is going to stay up.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
That's a whole another subject for a different day.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
But people are finding marijuana, not the gummies, but marijuana to.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Be a cheaper way to now become under the influence.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
And so we're One concern I do have is where
are we going in terms of our daily activities, whether
it's sex, whether it's sleep, whether it's work. We have
individuals where they can't sleep unless they smoke weed. I
had somebody call in over the weekend very nauseated, so
he was asking for mor nausea medicine and other telemedicine.
(19:19):
Doctors kept giving him nausea medicine. So I asked him
how much marijuana do you use? And he goes, I
only use it nightly, and like, this might not be
a stomach bug if you're not having any other symptoms.
This could because of your marijuana. He goes, But I
needed to sleep. So we've started to become accustomed to
using other things to get us through daily functions. We
(19:42):
should be able to sleep on our own. We should
be able to have sex with our partner without needing
something else. Now, we should be able to get through work,
get through life, get through our marriage, get through child
care without needing a crutch.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
But unfortunately we do ans society has been a lot
more shall we.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Say, uh, empathetic and open to us saying look, I
have issues, I need help. We want people to ask
for help. We want people to feel like they could
get help if they need and we are not stigmatizing that.
And now that marijuana is legal, rather than people going
to a medical provider saying look, I have a sleeping
(20:23):
issue and insomnia issue. I have an issue with alcohol.
I have an issue with intimacy. I have an issue
with anxiety or depression. I have an issue with work.
They're self medicating with marijuana, which I think is going
to make our mental health crisis worse. So my recommendation
is no on using marijuana for sex one eight seven
(20:43):
seven doct that they don't go away.
Speaker 7 (21:01):
At Hotshot Secret, we share the science behind common diesel
problems in their solutions.
Speaker 8 (21:06):
For example, diesel fuel setane levels.
Speaker 7 (21:08):
In many states, the setane rating and diesel fuel is
forty two to forty five. Most diesel engines operate more
efficiently with the cetane rating of forty eight to fifty one.
Treatment of hot Shot Secret Diesel Extreme will raise your
seatane seven points, increase fuel economy, and improve cold starts.
Due to a cleaner burn, there are less hydrocarbons in
particulate matter in your exhaust. This reduces the blockage of
(21:30):
your diesel particulate filter. Using Diesel Extreme generates eighty three
percent less DPF regenerations. The six and one Diesel Extreme
formula also includes the most concentrated detergent on the market,
lubricity enhancer, water demulsifier, rust and corrosion inhibitors, and a
fuel stabilizer.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
Right, we are back on Doctor Li Show.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Thank you all for tuning in one eight seven seven
DOCODOLLI one eight seven seven.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
D O C D A L I. So, if you
are anything.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Like me, you are worried about retirement. I don't see
how I could retire. Uh, there's there's no way. With
food prices and house and mortgage, and every time we
finished paying off a car, something happens to it. I
(22:53):
don't know if I told you my husband had a
truck paid off. We by used so we're able to
pay it off. Sooner than what a new car would be.
But he had a truck paid off, everything good, And
he tells me that while he's driving down the highway,
(23:13):
it just stops.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
It's like electrical failure. And I'm like, are you kidding me? What?
Speaker 3 (23:21):
And he said, yeah, this is the second time it happened.
You're just telling me about this now. Well he's telling
me about it now because he wanted me. You see,
my husband knows how to you know, I might know
how to work my husband right and win fights, but
he knows exactly how to deal with me. If it's
my idea, it happens, so he has to somehow figure
(23:43):
out how to make it my idea. So he tells me, yeah,
the car just died while I was driving on the freeway.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
I go, you need a new truck.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Now, let's pull somebody together, get a down payment, trade
it in, try to get a good value. But the
second time this happened, he was like, okay, you know, reluctant,
really okay if.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
You think I need any truck?
Speaker 3 (24:09):
So ah, I know he worked me. It's okay, it
didn't really happen twice.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
I believe him. He doesn't lie to me.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Too much so, I believe that it happened twice. But
that's that's frightening all the way. Come to think of it,
you would think I would have heard about it the
first time it happened, because he would have needed a ride. Sah,
something's fishy.
Speaker 7 (24:32):
You know what, You know what?
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Maybe he is lying to me. Well, as it stands,
he got a new used truck.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
And because the trade in value was only worth so
much and for what he wanted.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Now we're back to having another car payment, and I'm
sick of it. I'm sick of it.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
My first car I got for twelve, no, eighteen hundred dollars,
no air conditioning. It was a Chevy Chavette, and I
made payments. I didn't finance. It was my very first
time buying a car. I was with my friend Woodie,
and we go to the car, the used car place,
and I get him to bring down the price from
twenty three hundred to eighteen hundred.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
They go, okay, we need eighteen hundred dollars.
Speaker 10 (25:16):
Ago.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
I don't have eighteen hundred dollars. I have two hundred.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
I work at Jack in the Box and make it
four dollars an hour, so I'm going to do what
I can to.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
This is in the nineties. Yeah, to make payments.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
He goes, well, then you have to finance it. And
I'm like, so does that mean it's going to cost more?
They go, yeah, that's how finance works.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Okay. I was a biology major.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
In my defense, I was pre med, so I didn't
understand a lot of the financing things. I understood interest,
and I said, no, my total price has to be
no more than eighteen hundred. So if you're going to
finance it for me, we got to then lower the
price because I don't want to pay more than eighteen
hundred dollars for this car.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
If not, I'm out of here.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
And so that's how they they go, you know what,
just make the payments.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Although we have to think of it.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
Eighteen hundred dollars for a Chevy Chavette with no air
conditioning I think was an eighty six Chevy Chavette.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Well, because the air condition broke, you know what, I
needed it. I got by.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
I did what I had to and it's it was
a car worked out great. But then I had to
go to medical school and that Chevy Chavette would not
really do well in snow. So I had to get
myself a truck, and I bought an Isuzu Isusu truck
for sixty two hundred dollars brand new because I needed
(26:36):
a warranty and that one I did have to finance
and make payments, so I waited tables while in medical school,
and with my tip money, I was able to pay
it off. And the feeling of paying off a car
that it's it's amazing, It's like no other.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
But my whole life has been I have to pay.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Something off, and I never really put money towards to retirement.
I wanted to, but then I had family who said
I need money, I need help. My dad dies, so
my brother is still in high school and my mom
needed help. So I had to get them a place
to live support them through that had to bury my dad,
(27:19):
bury my grandmother. The money kept going, and when you
own your own business, one of the last things I
was thinking about, after paying staff and keeping the business running,
was putting money away for retirement. I did save some money,
but I never opened up a retirement account. Plus us
(27:42):
gen Xers, I can't speak for all gen Xers, but.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
We remember Black Monday.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
We remember being scared of stock market crashes and the
stock market. I think we had some apprehension more than
some of the other generations.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
And so for me, like, well, I'll put it in
the bank. I'll put it in the bank.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
But again, I was a biology major. I wasn't a
finance major. So it was only until recently that I
started a retirement account, which means I'm screwed. Okay, and
you hear, like Dave Ramsey says, you know, half the
people in this country don't have a retirement account. One
thing that I really like about the Big Beautiful Bill
(28:27):
is Trump is giving a thousand dollars there's one thousand
dollars deposit into a retirement account for children born in
twenty twenty five through twenty twenty eight. Okay, that's pretty
cool that that is going to hopefully help children start
(28:51):
their retirement account. So the issue we have in this
country is we don't have enough money for Medicare, we
don't have enough money for Social Security.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
And the system would have worked if the.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
Majority of Americans were working putting money into the system,
and if the government didn't mismanage the money. One of mine,
one of the fallacies the biggest scam that I was
naive to fall for was I started working. I was
working three part time jobs at college. I was winning
tables in medical school. I've always worked, so I thought
(29:27):
that the money I was putting into Social Security or
Medicare had my name on it, that money would grow
by the time I needed that money when I was
sixty five, and now it's sixty seven or whatever the
age has been changed to that by the time I
need to tap in on it, it's there the account.
(29:48):
It's a safe deposit box. I get the key. No,
the government mismanages our money. The money goes to other things.
And then I get told, as the baby boomers are
now getting told and us gen x's, that the money
might not be there when you need it. What excuse me?
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Meanwhile, you know I'm paycheck to paycheck.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
I'm also paying off student loans, I'm raising two kids, working,
trying to deal with daycare and family needs and extended
family issues. And I'm expected to have put money away
such that not only can I cover my mortgage or
rent or any car payment, but also my medical expenses.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
It's impossible.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
If these Trump accounts work, and kids will start off
with one thousand dollars that could later grow into something
they could retire on.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
That could be huge.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
But are families going to withdraw it? Is somebody gonna
spend it saying you only live once? Are all kids
gonna be able to do this? Do taxpayers want to
put money into somebody else's retirement when they don't have
a retirement account.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
There's a lot of push for universal income.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
I'm mixed on that because I do not want citizens
reliant on the treasury where the only way we survive
is if the government feeds us. I don't like that
at all. But if we don't figure out how to
deal with our aging population and the high prices of things,
(31:46):
and most of us are not having enough of a
retirement account, we got problems.

Speaker 2 (34:17):
All right, we are back on the doctor building issue.
Speaker 3 (34:20):
Thank you all for tuning in one eight seven seven
doctor DOLLI one eight seven seven d O C d Ali.
So the demand for do it yourself medicine is skyrocketing.
People are done with going to the doctor, they are
done with going to urgent cares, going to ers. They
want to know what they could do in their home.
(34:42):
They want things brought to them, or they just pick
up what they need and do it yourself. In terms
of medicine, I don't blame them going. You know, the
way healthcare is after Obamacare, people's deductibles now are through
the roof. So for them to go and see a provider.
It costs the hundreds of dollars just out the gate
(35:04):
urgent care.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
Same thing people.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
Are telling me it's five hundred dollars just to walk
into a door of an urgent care. At least on
average er is even more expensive. And so patients now
that they have access to telemedicine, they want us to.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
Yep, treat at home. And the demand for uh.
Speaker 3 (35:27):
Like I was it Gosh, Doctor Drew, I think is
selling antibiotics that you can have at the house. And
one of my listeners asked, how do I feel about,
you know, people having their own antibotics at the house.
You know, for those of us that have kids, having
extra antibiotic eye drops right when they get an eye
infection is very handy. But the problem is is even
(35:53):
me as a doctor, I can't do everything at home
with my kids. My son had a really bad fever,
no cough, but I noticed he was breathing quickly because
in the rule of the rule in my house is
whenever the kids are really young and sick, they sleep
in Mama's bed.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
Daddy you go sleep on the.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
Couch or somewhere else because I need to monitor, you know,
the kid and so in the middle of the night,
I'm just noticing my son is breathing quickly, and I'm like,
I don't think this is flu. And he ended up
having biladderal pneumonia. The only way I knew that is
because I X rayed him. Can't do that at home.
I had to take him to the office and get
him x rayed and then we got him treated. And
(36:37):
so the worry I have is people use up their
antibiotics at home and then.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
They are still sick.
Speaker 3 (36:47):
They're talking about in Mississippi, how STDs are are, you know.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
At at an all time high.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
We're We're hearing STDs a rampant And according to w LBT,
they said, if you gather a one hundred Mississippians in
a room, one of them has an STD. They say
twelve hundred per hundred thousand Mississippians, or one out of
every one hundred has an STD. Goneriea, chlamydia, HIV, syphilis,
(37:16):
herpes one of them. And there's a boom of congenital syphilis,
babies being born with syphilis.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
According to a twenty twenty three report from.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
The CDC, Mississippi ranked third in the country for reported
cases of primary and secondary syphilis, ranked fifth for goneria,
second for chlamydia. Now, the reason why I bring that
up is many people will call up telemedicine saying, I
have Bernie one IP, it's a UTI. So they take
(37:47):
a medicine for UTI. They ask for one, they get it,
or they buy it online or they get it from
these You know, you can buy antabotics and well, you'll
have your home medical kit with the atabotic. But if
you have an STD or an STI, that antibotic is
a working.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
It's a different one.
Speaker 3 (38:10):
And so I've seen people burn through the medicines they
have at home only to still not get better. How
many antibiotics did you take to try to get rid
of your COVID and you still had the cough. So
it's nice to have emergency medicine if you need it,
(38:32):
but when you waste it on the wrong diagnosis, that's
a problem not to mention. Now you're brewing resistance and
you're gaining tolerance. So how do you avoid the ridiculous
costs to go to a doctor, treat yourself at home
(38:55):
and get the right care. One issue we have that's
make that's complicating matters is the writing off of the
medical debt. At its surface, it sounds amazing. If you
have a medical debt, it doesn't count to your credit score,
(39:17):
so people are noticing that there's no consequences.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
It gets written off.
Speaker 3 (39:24):
On the surface, that sounds wonderful, But what that is
now translated into is you don't get to walk in
to an urgent care or a doctor's office without emptying
your pockets. And can you blame these companies if people
aren't paying the bills. If people aren't paying, you could
only see patients for free so long before you have
(39:46):
to close the doors.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
That's what happened with us.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
I could have maybe lasted one more year, but when
I got a teaching job, I bounced. You could only
do so much giving free care. I want to give
free care, but with no money coming in, I got
to pay the rent. Nobody was giving me free rent,
Nobody was giving me free staff.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
Nobody was giving me.
Speaker 3 (40:11):
Free malpractice insurance or free workers' com insurance or free supplies.
So if an urgent care thinks you're going to thumb
your nose at the bill because it doesn't affect your
credit score, they're gonna say, you know what, we're going
to collect upfront, so now it's even harder to go
to the doctor and get seen. So I think the
(40:37):
best plan of action, because I want you all to
get the care you need, is one. Please, for the
love of the Lord, get yourself a primary care physician
or provider, sit down with them and explain the situation
that you're in and say, look, when I get sick
on a Saturday night, doctors used.
Speaker 2 (40:57):
To have on call.
Speaker 3 (40:58):
I know people would call me all all night long
on a Saturday night and get prescriptions for free because
we would take call.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
We don't do that anymore.
Speaker 3 (41:06):
Doctors are done working for free, although now they're paying
for telemedicine calls.
Speaker 2 (41:11):
They wouldn't pay you when I did it.
Speaker 3 (41:13):
But say, look, if it's a Saturday night and I
can't get a hold of somebody yet the emergency room
or the urgent care is so expensive, what do you recommend?
Speaker 2 (41:23):
The best plan of action is.
Speaker 3 (41:26):
Because I can't afford to drop five hundred dollars at
an urgent care and talk to them about options. If
you have some chronic or recurrent conditions. Sometimes eurologists, let's
say you do have true UTIs that are not STDs
or inneristiitises or prostate issues. Sometimes the urologists might work
with you on having a standing order for a medication.
(41:49):
But if you don't have a primary care provider, you
don't pay the primary care provider's bills. You are kind
of out there loose. Your only options are urgent care
er or telemedicine. But we will be moving towards a
system where you do things at home. In fact, your
hospital stay will be at home, not if it's a

a ICU or IMC level hospital stay, but the medical
home is going to be is evolving at a very
fast rate where people are saying, look, if there's no
place for me at a hospital bed, let me treat
myself at home.
Speaker 2 (42:28):
How can I treat myself at home? So I just
don't die because there's no hospital bed. And I support.
Speaker 3 (42:34):
That, because there's not enough hospital beds. We saw that
during COVID. So how do you turn your home into
a hospital, into a mini urgent care. There's going to
have to be services where doctors come to your house. Well,
how do we do that where they're safe and they
don't get attacked or rate. You know, when I was
in training, I told my husband, you know, we were
(42:55):
still doing house calls, and I remember my attending saying.
Speaker 2 (42:58):
Stop either house, this is their medicine. Give them.
Speaker 3 (43:00):
I remember my husband going, oh, hell no, you don't
go to a person's house.
Speaker 2 (43:05):
It's not safe.
Speaker 3 (43:07):
So if people are going to eventually want to do
do it yourself, or you know, call me or come
to my house and let me.
Speaker 2 (43:14):
Do it here, they're gonna have to revamp a lot
of things.
Speaker 3 (43:17):
We're gonna have to figure out how to have safety
measures in place. We're gonna figure out how to have
liability measures into place, because if you're not going in,
a doctor's not gonna necessarily want to be responsible for you.
Speaker 2 (43:29):
Doing your own care.
Speaker 3 (43:31):
And we have to figure out how to get healthcare
cheaper one eight seven seven dot dollar.
Speaker 10 (43:35):
You don't go away.

Hey guys, it's doctor Dahlia.
