When Ulcers Lie: Unmasking Vasculitis in the Diabetic Foot
2/09/2026 | 13 mins.
This episode breaks down uncontrolled vasculitis — inflammation of blood vessels that can mimic diabetic, arterial, or pressure ulcers. It reviews pathophysiology (immune complex and ANCA‑mediated mechanisms), types by vessel size, key signs (palpable purpura, necrotic toes, sudden ischemia), and essential diagnostics (ESR/CRP, ANCA, complement, urinalysis, biopsy, CTA).

It highlights urgent management (high‑dose steroids, immunosuppressants, biologics), wound‑care cautions (avoid unnecessary debridement in ischemic vasculitic ulcers), and the importance of early vascular and autoimmune referral to prevent organ damage and amputation.
Vitamin B5: The Hidden Fuel for Wound Healing
2/08/2026 | 11 mins.
Dr. G explains how pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) serves as the precursor to coenzyme A and powers cellular metabolism essential for wound healing, collagen and lipid synthesis, and skin barrier repair.

The episode reviews dietary sources, signs of deficiency, the topical provitamin dexpanthenol and its effects on hydration and barrier recovery, and how B5 fits into a broader approach to improving tissue regeneration in patients with high wound‑healing needs.
Insurance Made Me Switch Doctors- Don't Lose Your Care: How to Switch Doctors Without Risking Your Diabetic Foot Treatment
2/07/2026 | 24 mins.
Dr. G explains clear, practical steps for patients who must change doctors because of insurance, moving, or provider network shifts. Learn the 48‑hour plan: the five questions to ask your insurer, how to get bridge support and targeted medical records, tips for booking and choosing the right specialist, and the BRAN questions to use at your first visit.

The episode also covers emergency guidance (when to go to the ER), your HIPAA rights to access records, red flags to avoid in a new doctor, and a concise checklist to make the transition safe and effective.
Medical Malpractice with Dr. Lawyer- Dr Guy Regev MD JD - When Medicine Meets Malpractice: Protecting Patients and Providers
2/05/2026 | 31 mins.
In this episode of Diabetic Foot Files, Dr. G interviews Dr. Guy Regev MD JD , a physician-attorney specializing in medical malpractice, to explore how diagnostic delays, documentation, delayed referrals, and systemic failures can lead to preventable harm. They discuss patient advocacy, red flags for both patients and clinicians, documentation tips, and practical questions patients should ask before surgery.

This conversation focuses on accountability, safety, and education—aimed at protecting limbs and lives by teaching both patients and providers how to recognize and prevent errors before they reach the courtroom.
ER Triage Secrets: Saving Limbs and Lives in Diabetic Foot Emergencies
2/04/2026 | 35 mins.
This episode traces how battlefield triage shaped modern emergency medicine and applies those principles to diabetic foot care in the ER. Dr. G explains time-sensitive threats — sepsis, necrotizing infection, acute limb ischemia, compartment syndrome, and Charcot neuropathy — and walks through focused exams, vital labs, essential imaging, dressing choices, and when to escalate to vascular, podiatry, or surgery.

Learn practical triage questions, documentation tips, and high-yield pitfalls to avoid so urgent diabetic foot problems are recognized early and treated appropriately.
