SUMMARY:Ohio University College of Medicine-Dublin—PRESENTATION: House Calls and the Pre-Penicillin Era to Targeted Chemotherapy: A 75-Year Walk Through Medical History
DESCRIPTION:All are welcome to attend this event. Please RSVP within 48 hours of the event to ensure enough food. If you do not have permissions to use the RSVP URL\, please email Jacob directly. There is ample parking in front of medical education building one: 6775 Bobcat way\, Dublin\, Ohio 43016 \nDr. Harold Chevlen\, MD\, a 95-year old retired physician who practiced independent family medicine for 50 years in Youngstown\, Ohio\, will be discussing the changes that occurred throughout his career. In particular he’ll describe how things most medical students take for granted\, such as antibiotics revolutionized his practice of medicine. He will also talk about the joys of family medicine. \n  \nHis speech will be followed by his son\, Dr. Eric Chevlen MD\, a medical oncologist in Youngstown\, OH\, who will talk about the innovations that have occurred during his career in cancer care. Dr. Chevlen is the author of Power over Pain: How to Get the Pain Control You Need\, and contributed “Confessions of a Health Care Rationer” to the website\, First Things. \nBoth speeches will describe technological\, scientific\, and social changes to medicine over the past 75 years. \nPOST-EVENT SUMMARY: Twenty-two students and faculty attended this lecture. Doctors Harold and Eric Chevlen spoke about the changes they encountered\, both within the practice of clinical medicine and within themselves over the course of their careers. \nIn particular\, Dr. Harold Chevlen described starting his own private practice\, serving in the US army as a hospital orderly\, doing house calls throughout Northeastern Ohio\, and the joys of independent family medicine. He talked about the changes in medicine such as the introduction of penicillin\, and sweeping societal changes such as the desegregation of hospitals throughout Ohio. \nDr. Eric Chevlen described his motivations in becoming a physician\, the dramatic improvements in chemotherapy he witnessed over his career\, what it was like practicing oncology for the NIH in rural Egypt\, being the first physician to ever perform a marrow biopsy there\, ethics of DNR orders\, and the introduction of cephalosporins during his schooling. \n“The event went better than I expected! The audience didn’t even look at their phones once. Questions went about 45 minutes beyond the scheduled end of the event. The greatest single argument for independent medical practice is the joy independent doctors exude. Dr. Harold Chevlen painted a beautiful picture of what medicine used to be like–prior to government meddling–where independent family doctors weren’t just clinicians\, but also members of the family. \nI believe that demonstrating how awesome family medicine can be\, unfettered by paper work\, will encourage more people into this underserved field. The next step is obviously teaching about DPC.” ~Jacob Chevlen\, event organizer

SUMMARY:Saint Louis University School of Medicine—DISCUSSION: "End of Discussion" with authors Guy Benson and Mary Katharine Ham
DESCRIPTION:All are welcome to attend this discussion session with authors Guy Benson and Mary Katharine Ham\, sponsored by the BRI chapter at SLU. Snacks and soft drinks will be provided. Please RSVP via the website link\, below. \nAuthors Guy Benson and Mary Katharine Ham will discuss the topics in their book “End of Discussion: How the Left’s Outrage Industry Shuts Down Debate\, Manipulates Voters\, and Makes America Less Free (and Fun).” \n  \n  \n  \nAbout the Guest Speakers: \n \nGuy Benson is the political editor of Townhall.com and a Fox News contributor. He was named to Forbes magazine’s 30 under 30 law & policy list in 2015. The Huffington Post included him in its 2017 roster of the 25 top millennial broadcasters in American news and politics. That same year\, he received the College Republican National Committee’s biannual Lee Atwater Outstanding Young Conservative award. Guy served as a Media Fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution\, and a Visiting Fellow at Harvard University’s Institute of Politics. \n \nMary Katharine Ham is an American journalist and conservative commentator. She is editor at large of Hot Air\, a contributing editor to Townhall Magazine\, senior writer at The Federalist\, and a CNN contributor. At CPAC 2014\, she was presented with the ACU Blogger of the Year award. She was previously a Fox News contributor. \n  \nPOST-EVENT SUMMARY: Twenty-five SLU students attended this event. BRI-SLU president Tony Mazzaferro began with an introduction to BRI and its goals and mission\, then introduced the speakers. \nGuy Benson started off by talking about why he and Ms. Ham decided to write their book\, End of Discussion\, and what they hoped to accomplish with it. He touched on the hyperbolic rhetoric that entrenches American politics and how we need to avoid this. Guy spoke to the importance of free speech\, honest debate\, and the open exploration of ideas. Too often our demonization of opposing viewpoints hinders our ability to have productive conversation. Guy is a good speaker\, engaging\, and entertaining. The audience seemed to be enjoying his talk. \nHe and Mary Katharine took questions from the audience. People seemed very engaged and eager to ask questions. It was a good time! \nGuy and Mary Katharine were exactly like I hoped – they presented a case for conservative/free-market ideas but did so in a friendly\, agreeable manner. No on in the room\, whether liberal/conservative/libertarian\, etc. was offended by them. They were likable and entertaining. I personally had three faculty members at the med school thank me for organizing the event and felt the topic was important to discuss and that the med school needs more events like this. They loved it!” ~Tony Mazzaferro\, BRI-SLU chapter president and event organizer \n“The talk was very informative and eye-opening. The speakers were straight forward\, critical of both sides\, provided good examples that supported their ideas\, and kept the talk light-hearted by injecting great jokes.” – Kevin N.\, M1 SLUSOM \n“I really enjoyed the presentation organized by the Benjamin Rush Institute. Those leading the meeting were knowledgeable and could discuss the vital issues present in our current political and healthcare environment. I will be attending future BRI activities.” – Scott S.\, M1 SLUSOM \n“The BRI event was a great experience. The speakers were professional yet entertaining and I feel that I gained valuable\, practical knowledge about policy debates.” Alan P.\, M1 SLUSOM
