Month: September 2021

Join Kim & Simon Lewis as they discuss looking back on summer. Did we get off the bench, live life and accomplish desired goals? What were the challenges and the victories? Can get easy with brain injury to pull back from life and isolate. To let fear of “not being our old selves”, keep us from trying new pursuits. No one said living with brain injury is easy. It’s not. Yet here we are. How to we best spend our “Brain Bucks” to create a life worth living, and feel empowered? How do we take the set backs, if not in stride, with the appropriate amount of grief/disappointment .. Then keep moving forward? Listen in and see! Maybe call in and share your secrets to success 🙂

Brain Aneurysm Awareness Month 2021. Everyone knows something about heart disease, Cancer, Diabetes .. But few know much about Brain Aneuryems. Odd since 1 in 50 have one, every 18 seconds one ruptures, and 67% of those, have some form of permanent disability. Ruptures occur in about 30,000 people in the U.S. each year, and 40 percent of those cases result in death within 24 hours. No one questions the other conditions .. The compassion is always forthcoming. Not always so with the aneurysm, either by loved ones OR the medical profession. Listen in tonight as survivors and caregivers share their stories, and the game changing event they have endured. Victories, challenges, and everything between. It’s a new life without warning .. Now what?

A harrowing tale of widespread illegal payments and kickbacks that cost Taxpayers Billions and cost Chris Riedel tremendous personal sacrifice. His dogged & courageous pursuit of the perpetrators for himself, his Industry, the Taxpayers and Other Whistleblowers has Earned Him the Title of “Fraud Fighter”. Blood Money: One Man’s Bare-Knuckle Fight to Protect Taxpayers from Medical Lab Fraud – is the true legal thriller of a terrifying David vs. Goliath fight against massive healthcare fraud brought by a brave Whistleblower, at tremendous personal sacrifice and cost over many years. Chris Riedel never saw himself as a crusader. He lived the Silicon Valley dream, founding his first company at 24, then starting two others while he was still a young man. The first two companies revolutionized how bacterial infections were diagnosed and treated, saving hundreds of thousands of lives around the world. He retired early to enjoy raising his young sons with his wife Marcia. Aware of the diminishing number of medical labs in Northern California, Marcia encouraged them to return to the business and they started Meris Laboratories, and that’s where the trouble began. In the decade since they left the business, two major behemoths, Quest and LabCorp, had assumed dominance in the industry, euphemistically referred to as the “Blood Brothers.”
