Run the List: Stay in Your Lane
Episode 2
Tuesday, 25 August, 2026
There's a LOT on the list this month!Join Dr. Samiza Palmer, Dr. Dumebi Okocha, and Jared Jeffrey, M.S. as they run through the stories that had us talking all July. The hosts open with the lingering questions surrounding the death of 18-year-old Nolan Xavier Wells and what the investigation says about public trust, then get into the class action lawsuit filed against the Washington Physicians Health Program by two former residents. From there, the viral debate over what happens when a doctor and a nurse both show up to the same medical emergency, and who gets to take the lead.We also cover the new gene therapies putting a functional cure for sickle cell within reach and the price tag standing in the way, World Population Day and what 8.3 billion people means going forward, and yes, America's very underwhelming 250th birthday. We close out with BIPOC Mental Health Month and a real conversation about the generational divide that can make asking for help harder than it should be.Hot takes, a few disagreements, and plenty of laughs along the way. You already know how we do it. Come Run The List with us!Want to become a part of the Lounge ?
