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.
When Patients Give Up: Learned Helplessness and Diabetic Foot Care
2/03/2026 | 39 mins.
This episode explains how learned helplessness develops in patients with diabetic foot ulcers, the classic experiments and brain changes behind it, and how healthcare systems can unintentionally create it.

Dr. G reviews practical strategies for reclaiming patient control—micro‑wins, clear plans, visible progress, and team‑based care—and addresses clinician burnout and system fixes to improve limb salvage outcomes.
When Metabolism Fails the Foot: Insulin Resistance, Hypertension & Non‑Healing Ulcers
2/01/2026 | 18 mins.
In this episode of Diabetic Foot Files Dr. G traces diabetic foot ulcers upstream to metabolic causes: insulin resistance and chronic hyperinsulinemia drive sodium retention, sympathetic overactivity, RAS activation and endothelial dysfunction that produce microvascular collapse and poor wound healing.

Learn why clean-looking wounds still won’t close, how to target root causes (lifestyle, medications, supplements, and team-based care), and why limb salvage starts with restoring metabolism and vascular health—not just surface treatment.
Iodine Isn't the Enemy: Debunking the Cytotoxic Myth
2/01/2026 | 20 mins.
This episode explains where the belief that iodine is "cytotoxic" came from, contrasting old in vitro lab studies with real-world wound biology. It outlines how povidone‑iodine (a slow‑release formulation) controls infection and biofilm, and why infection can be worse for healing than controlled iodine use.

It also compares iodine to isopropyl alcohol, showing alcohol is more damaging to open wounds, and gives practical takeaways for managing infected or critically colonized diabetic foot ulcers.
