Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

This week on Dr. P on the Pod, we dive into a critical discussion about Atrial Fibrillation (AFib)—a common yet often overlooked heart condition that can lead to serious complications if left untreated. AFib, a type of irregular heartbeat, affects millions of people, particularly African Americans, who are more likely to experience severe outcomes from the condition. On this episode, we are excited to welcome Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, legendary basketball player, committed social activist, and award-winning writer to speak with us about his journey with Atrial Fibrillation (AFib). Kareem was diagnosed with AFib after he initially ignored his symptoms and is now sharing his story to help others learn from his experience. We are also joined by Dr. Andrea Phillips, a family medicine doctor from Jackson, Mississippi. Dr. Phillips has been in practice for more than 20 years and is passionate about ensuring people of all backgrounds have access to the medical care and information they need, and work with a healthcare professional to get the care they need. Dr. Phillips does not personally treat Kareem. This podcast episode was sponsored by the BMS-Pfizer Alliance 'No Time to Wait' campaign, for which Kareem and Dr. Phillips are paid spokespeople.
