La Manplesa with Quique Avilés and Cindy Centeno In 1991, a Salvadoran man is shot by the police in Mount Pleasant, Washington DC.

Quique Avilés and Cindy Centeno tell us the history and process behind this art-focused documentary. Quique Avilés is a poet, actor and community activist whose work is dedicated to addressing social issues through performance and poetry. A native of El Salvador, Quique has been writing and performing about issues of race, identity, and the plight of poor people in the US for 30 years.

"The People's Hospital" with Ricardo Nuila 12/18/2023

"The People's Hospital" with Ricardo Nuila In “The People’s Hospital,” Ricardo Nuila sheds light on the challenges in US healthcare but also shares that there’s hope. Children of immigrants grappling with the complexities of healthcare for their loved ones will resonate with Ricardo’s unique perspective. Informed by both his medical expertise and Salvadoran background, we discuss the human side of healthcare and navigating “Medicine Inc.” with cultural and linguistic barriers. Ricardo Nuila is a writer, teacher, and practicing doctor. He is an associate professor of medicine, medical ethics, and health policy at Baylor College of Medicine, where he directs the Humanities Expression and Arts Lab (HEAL) program. The importance of human contact Writing for a broad audience, not doctors Showing people they have power in their healthcare Seeing hope in Ben Taub hospital Great healthcare in a public hospital Healthcare now is geared toward making money Fee for service care motivates doctors to provide more services for more patients What is Medicine Inc? An industry at war with each other Almost impossible for patients to be good consumers of healthcare The US spends double of what some comparable European countries pay Public healthcare patients pay reasonable costs because there’s no profit incentive Teaching doctors how to better communicate with patients Challenging a doctor’s authority to get better information How can we maintain our cultural identity and still be healthy? Algorithmania - how strict adherence to protocol blinds us to the humanity of patients The pressure of first gen and second gen immigrant children providing help to the family How immigrant families care for their sick loved ones The impact of the busy American lifestyle on health and care How can we better consumers of medical care for ourselves and our family Show Resources: Music: “” by /episode/index/show/salvisunidospodcast/id/29108988

Prof. Lotti wonders if we may be in a bloom period now as we talk about her research in postwar El Salvador in the early 90s.
