   Noel Oliveira, MD: Physician … and Musician and Actor

   Noel Oliveira, MD, started his professional journey as a pharmacist before going to medical school and becoming an emergency physician. His life took a new turn when he decided to specialize in wound care and open the first full-service wound care center in the Rio Grande Valley. The Valley has among the highest rates of diabetes in the nation and the most severe cases can lead to patients suffering serious wounds, so there was desperate need for wound care there. Dr. Oliveira helped bring much-needed health care to the area where he was born and raised. “People heard about [the wound care center] and they started just showing up on the doorstep,” said Dr. Oliveira in a conversation with TMA’s immediate past president Jayesh Shah, MD, in the Let Doctors Be Doctors podcast. “I'm telling you, honestly, I've not had a slow day since we have opened the doors,” he said. Dr. Oliveira is a man of many talents. When he is not seeing patients, he can be found singing and playing the guitar with his band – the Renaissance Rockers. He has also acted in an episode of the hit TV show ER and assisted in the writing of an episode that depicted the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

   Vivek Rao, MD: Preserving Medicine for Future Physicians

   After completing medical school and residency, Vivek Rao, MD, did something he thought he’d never do – he returned to his hometown of Odessa, to start his own medical practice. “As I got older, I realized how much the community has to offer. This is a good place to raise a family, and it's a place where you can really give back,” he said in a conversation with TMA’s Immediate Past President Jayesh “Jay” Shah, MD, in the Let Doctors Be Doctors podcast. An allergist and immunologist, Dr. Rao comes from a multi-generational family of physicians. He followed in his father’s footsteps not only by choosing medicine as his profession, but by becoming involved in organized medicine. He serves on TMA’s Council on Legislation and the Texas Delegation to the American Medical Association. He said his goal is to preserve the practice of medicine for young people like his son, who might also become a doctor one day. “I want them to grow up and be able to see an environment where if they decide they want to go into medicine that they'll be able to treat patients the way they want to treat them, with respect … be able to practice without interference from companies, from hospitals, from insurance plans,” said Dr. Rao.

   Bernard Harris, MD: A Physician’s Expedition to Space

   Bernard Harris Jr., MD,’s professional journey took an unconventional turn. After becoming a physician, he set his eyes on the skies to pursue his childhood dream of being an astronaut. On a spacewalk during a 1995 mission, he became the first African American to do so. In a new episode of the Let Doctors Be Doctors podcast with TMA’s Immediate Past President Jayesh “Jay” Shah, MD, Dr. Harris talks about his journey and what he learned from his missions to space. “Space is an opportunity for us to really see the earth the way that God wanted to: the people of the earth as one people working together,” he said. He also spoke about how advances in space technology help patients. “As we have more opportunities in earth’s orbit, the moon, and beyond that … out of all the fields, I believe that medicine is going to reap the most benefit,” said Dr. Harris. He provides an example in the podcast. “The imaging center systems that we use for looking at the surface of planets are now used to look inside the human body,” said Dr. Harris.
