About the Show

Welcome to Health Hats, learning on the journey toward best health. I am Danny van Leeuwen, a two-legged, old, cisgender, white man with privilege, living in a food oasis, who can afford many hats and knows a little about a lot of healthcare and a lot about very little. Most people wear hats one at a time, but I wear them all at once.  I’m the Rosetta Stone of Healthcare. We will listen and learn about what it takes to adjust to life’s realities in the awesome circus of healthcare.  Let’s make some sense of all this.

Welcome to Health Hats, the Podcast I’m Danny van Leeuwen a two-legged cisgender old white man of privilege who knows a little bit about a lot of healthcare and a lot about very little. We will listen and learn about what it takes to adjust to life’s realities in the awesome circus of healthcare. Let’s make some sense of all of this.

I dropped the intro script into CHAT CPG asking for a Shakespearean sonnet version.  Here’s the result. Notice mispronunciations.


Listen, dear reader, and you shall learn


Of the awesome circus that is healthcare


A world of endless questions, twists, and turns


Where realities are often hard to bear


 


We must adjust to life’s harsh realities


And navigate the maze of rules and regulations


We must learn to listen to all perspectives


And find ways to work together in collaboration


 


For in the world of healthcare, no one person


Can know all the answers or have all the solutions


We must listen and learn from one another


And work together to find the best resolutions


 


So let us listen and learn, my dear friends


And together we’ll weather this circus of healthcare


We’ll find the strength to adjust to life’s realities


And face whatever challenges may come our way

Ann & JoJo


The Boland van Leeuwen family, Ann, Danny and JoJo, managed to avoid Covid in 2022.  Seems inevitable we’ll succumb, although we’re careful Happy New Year 2023. I traveled to Portugal, Spain, upstate New York, DC, Philadelphia and more, yet still infection free. I can’t stand

that AI voice. Here’s the second voice. My grandsons, Leon and Oscar continue to grow and retain their sweet selves.


 


Health

I’m grateful for the relative stability of my health this year. Managing to keep accomplishing everything I want. Planning for eye surgery in February to correct my deteriorating double vision.


 


Music, my life

I’m playing music almost every day – approximately 320 out of 365 days, averaging 5.5 hours a week, but who’s counting. I love the Lechuga Fresca Latin Band. We play about once a month, between rehearsals and gigs. Leon’s playing piano as well. Here’s a couple of haikus created in CHAT CPG https://chat.openai.com/chat

Multimedia publishing

As you probably know my podcast became written, audio and video, this year. This is blog #552, audio episode #187, and video #21. No wonder I don’t publish weekly anymore.  Too much work! My most listened to episode was May 22nd  Burnout, Healthy Habits, American College of Lifestyle Medicine (109 downloads) and most watched, Aug 20th Playing Baritone Saxophone with Disabilities. Can Be Done! 115 video views and 52 downloads


A word from our sponsor, Abridge a la ee cummings

Record, record, big pink button pressed


Healthcare conversations now captured, expressed


With doctors and clinicians, oh how they drone


But with ABridge, I can listen and own


The transcript, a treasure trove of medical insights


Read it at home, my worries and frights


Alleviated, my knowledge now increased


Record, record, my healthcare piece by piece


No longer lost in the shuffle or the fray


Record, record, my healthcare at bay


With ABridge by my side, I am in control


Record, record, my healthcare whole


Advocacy

My PCORI-related advocacy for 2022-23 centers on patient partnership and community-based research. According to CHAT CPG, patient partnership and community-based research is a collaborative approach to conducting research that involves meaningful engagement with patients and community members throughout the research process. This approach recognizes the valuable insights and experiences of patients and community members and incorporates their perspectives into the design and implementation of research studies. By involving patients and community members in the research process, researchers can ensure that their research is relevant and meaningful to the population being studied. Overall, patient partnership and community-based research can lead to more responsive, relevant, and impactful research that addresses the needs and concerns of patients and communities.


Reflection

What do you think? I had fun doing this. I’m not sure I’ll use the overdubbing much or the CHAT CPG, but I do like the images from DALL.E. As I become more comfortable with video this year, I’ll be ready to focus again on using music more. May you all have adventures, rest, and inspiration. Love ya.
