AWARD NOMINATIONS

CALLING FOR NOMINATIONS FOR THE I.B. HARRISON, M.D. HUMANITARIAN AWARD AND THE THOMAS L. HICKS, M.D. OUTSTANDING PHYSICIAN AWARD The Capital Medical Society and the Capital Medical Society Alliance will host the annual Celebration Awards Dinner on March 27, 2025 at the Dunlap Champions Club at FSU, in honor of Doctors’ Day. At the event, we will be awarding the I.B. Harrison, M.D. Humanitarian Award, a prestigious award initiated by Capital Health Plan, and the Thomas L. Hicks, M.D. Outstanding Physician Award.

The criteria for the awards differ. The criteria for the I.B. Harrison, M.D. Humanitarian Award are predicated on the values that came to be associated with the late Dr. I.B. Harrison: treating all patients with respect and dignity. Dr. Harrison was known as the voice for the ethical, compassionate practice of medicine. He is not only the inspiration for the award, but its first recipient, as well.

The Thomas L. Hicks, M.D. Outstanding Physician Award honors a physician who has demonstrated distinguished leadership in organized medicine, community volunteerism, political and governmental activities, clinical excellence, and

educational activities; particularly with medical students. The late Dr. Hicks is not only the inspiration for the award, but its first recipient, as well.

We are seeking nominations from the CMS membership as both of these awards are presented to physicians by their peers.

Nomination Form – I.B. Harrison, M.D. Humanitarian Award Nomination Form – Thomas L. Hicks, M.D. Outstanding Physician Award Please give thoughtful consideration to nominating a physician for each award. Please mail or email your completed nomination forms to the Capital Medical Society. All nominations are held in the strictest of confidence.

The deadline for nominations is January 10th.

WHY IT'S IMPORTANT TO CELEBRATE OUR FELLOW PHYSICIANS

By John Bailey, D.O.

I hope that we can encourage CMS members to think about physicians who have served the community and the profession well. Why is it important to keep up with the awards?

Because the physicians who are recognized are held up as an example to the community, and to their younger peers. Because there are so many counter-examples being held up to scrutiny every day in the news, television reports, and social media. Because medicine really is a good cause, a calling, and not

a technology to be "managed." Because practicing medicine is a risky business that places doctors in harm’s way for the benefit of others. Because society, and especially the Capital Medical Society, needs to reward its heroes of today, and inspire its heroes of tomorrow.

NOVEMBER IS NATIONAL DIABETES AWARENESS MONTH

A NEW BEGINNING: THE JOURNEY OF A DIABETIC PATIENT

By Antoni Kafrouni, M.D. The patient arrived at our clinic, visibly weary but determined.

Monitoring his blood sugar levels became a routine, empowering him to understand how food and activity affected his glucose. By the end of three months, he achieved what seemed impossible: he came off insulin treatment. “I can’t believe it. I’m free from insulin!” he exclaimed during a follow-up visit.

During our follow-up, I learned that the patient, in his mid-forties and a father of two, had long hoped to manage his diabetes with diet alone. However, denial had led him to neglect his health. “I never thought it would get this bad,” he admitted, reflecting on his experience in the hospital.

His transformation impacted every aspect of his life, inspiring him to encourage others to prioritize their health. With strong family support, he found change more manageable, emphasizing that it’s never too late to improve one's health.

Facing a new chapter, he made significant lifestyle changes, overhauling his diet and cutting down on starches and sugary foods. He began morning walks in his neighborhood, gradually finding joy in

This patient’s story illustrates resilience and the power of commitment. It serves as a reminder that proactive health management can profoundly affect individual and family dynamics.

CARDIOVASCULAR BENEFITS OF GLP-1 AGONISTS

By Antoni Kafrouni, M.D. GLP-1 agonists, a class of medications used primarily to treat type 2 diabetes, have garnered significant attention for their cardiovascular benefits.

Research has consistently shown that these drugs not only aid in glycemic control but also contribute to improved cardiovascular outcomes, making them an important option for diabetic patients, particularly those at risk for cardiovascular disease.

Moreover, these medications have been associated with a lower risk of developing atherosclerosis, a major contributor to heart disease. Their ability to improve glycemic control while concurrently lowering blood pressure and lipid levels makes them a compelling choice for managing patients with diabetes who are also at risk for cardiovascular complications.

VIEWPOINT

THE MEDICAL PROS AND CONS OF HAVING PETS

By Michelle Miller, M.D. My family decided to adopt a kitten the summer before my son started the first grade as a reward for good behavior and to instill some responsibilities for him. We figured a cat would be easier to care for than a dog and my son loves cats. My son and I perused the local animal shelter website and saw a picture of a 3 month old black cat named “Leo” and fell in love[1]. We lucked out when we went to the shelter during their walk-in hours.

He was still there, a little shy but playing with a toy made of pipe cleaners in his cage. When we brought him home, he spent a few hours hiding out behind our sofa but since then has been very active and playful, especially if we shoot hair ties or table top tennis balls around the house.

Most people know about the inherent benefits of having pets such as companionship and increase in physical activity, but I was surprised to learn that purring has been associated with an increase in healing. “It can also reduce the risk of heart disease, with cat owners having 40% less risk of having a heart attack. A cat’s purr at a frequency of 18 to 35 hertz may also support tendon repair and joint mobility. At 25 to 50 hertz, purring promotes the healing of injured muscles and tendons. At 100 hertz, purring can reduce pain, increase recovery time after surgery, and ease breathing in patients with chronic respiratory disease[3].”

However, even though I am a cat lover, I am also someone that reacts to them slightly. I used to joke that if I pet a cat and don’t wash my hands, the next time I touch my face my lips swell slightly giving me the cosmetic look that most people will do under the needle for. I used to think my only recourse was antihistamines, but now there are cat foods that have the Fel d1 antibody created by chickens exposed to cats, thereby Leo neutralizing this antigen that causes most reactions. I will be trialing this soon so ask me in 3-6 months what the results are[4].

Of course, it is mostly up to me to take care of the new pet as I’ve had the most experience with pets. My husband only had a hamster growing up and didn’t have a dog or cat until we moved in together in college. Whereas, I’ve grown up with multiple outdoor cats and a handful of dogs. We had to euthanize our last pets- a cat and a dog over five years ago due to old age and health conditions while my son was an infant. Both pets had been in our lives for over ten years so our grief was considerable with this decision and it took time for us to consider bringing in new pets to our family. While this is a concern for people considering having a pet, according to a survey taken in 2020, about 42.5% of owners have euthanized a pet in the past due terminal illness, injury, dangerous or unmanageable behavior, poor quality of life, and inability to provide adequate care[2].

Having pets also means being proactive for diseases with regular vaccines and prophylaxis medications for fleas/ticks. Most doctors when hearing about kittens and cats will likely think back to Pasteurella and cat scratch fever caused by Bartonella, which are health risks with having cats/kittens[5 & 6]. Cat bites are generally dirty and deep wounds requiring 4.

“ANIMALS ARE SUCH AGREEABLE FRIENDS. THEY ASK NO QUESTIONS; THEY PASS NO CRITICISMS.” – GEORGE ELIOT antibiotics especially if on hands so teaching children early on to not use their hands as toys but instead to use cat toys that are longer to reduce this risk.

With dogs, most people will think about horrific dog bites especially those seen on children’s faces so it is important to socialize dogs early and to teach children not to go near unknown dogs or even put their faces near known dogs especially if there is food nearby. And of course, rabies is 100% fatal if not treated early on, which is why rabies vaccines are recommended for all pet cats and dogs[7]. Tick borne illnesses are on the rise due to global warming so it is imperative that if your pet will be exposed to the outdoors that they are on a prophylaxis medicine[8].

As an amateur bird enthusiast, cats are the number one predator for birds and are associated with 1.34 billion bird deaths in the US a year, so I plan on keeping our cat indoors unless he is in a carrier for outdoor travel[9].

Veterinarian medicine has also changed with more specialists, testing, and treatment options. As such, the cost of pet health care has also exploded and there are options for pet health insurance. Some vets of course will not accept the insurance due to decrease in reimbursements, same in the medical world with the increase in Direct Primary Care.

A good read that explores the veterinarian world is “The Other Family Doctor by Karen Fine, DVM”[10].

I do recommend that if you are considering getting a pet that you first look at the local animal shelters.

There are a multitude of animals that need to be adopted. If you are unsure what type of pet to get, I suggest volunteering at the animal shelter or going to a local dog park or cat cafe to see where you feel the happiest.
