Dr. Lalitha Trivikram is a board-certified Internal Medicine physician who graduated from Penn State College of Medicine and completed her post-graduate training at the University of Michigan and New York Hospital - Cornell. She has over 20 years of experience in outpatient, inpatient, and congregate care settings, including skilled nursing, acute rehabilitation, and correctional facilities. Currently, she serves as a medical director in the Philadelphia Department of Prisons, the jail for the City of Philadelphia, which has a daily census of around 4,500 citizens and a patient population numbering nearly 18,000 individuals annually. In the spring of 2020, she stepped into public health when asked to be the lead physician in the COVID-19 response at the PDP. Under her leadership, the mortality rate from Covid has been one-tenth that of other regional jurisdictions. She is a family friend, and I had the luxury of shadowing her as an undergrad. Lalitha is a stunningly good diagnostician and a fantastic person all around.

I see the grade stress in my fellow students. Fortunately, it does not affect me. There are grades I look at for the first time a semester, or even a year later.

Hey zach I am a pre-med student who has learned a lot from your channel. I am interested in the field of anesthesiology. Would you be able to bring an anesthesiologist on for an episode in the near future?

It’s the point she said that Dr salivate and get happy when people have diabetes and high blood pressure. This is crazy. The medical board is really ran by money motivated talent supposed to be helping people like you sick. What happened to healing people and helping them get rid of the disease, but steady want to prolong it to keep the person to keep coming back to you keep money in your pocket for you

It’s abundantly clear to me that you don’t understand English well enough to communicate with it. It’s also abundantly clear to me that you misunderstood what this physician was saying.

You misunderstood what she said. She likes the challenge of fixing complex cases. Instead of running from the problem, she tackles it. We need doctors like that.
