With all of the talk about "health care," a system 4th Wurld likes to call "sick care," he decided to take a stroll through the back yard of the city of Atlanta and entertain the insight of Dr. David Satcher, the first Black Male to be selected as U.S. Surgeon General (Clinton Administration).  18 short months after the first ever Black person to be selected was hired, that being Dr. Jocelyn Elders, she was fired by the Clinton administration for remarks she made relative to sexual behavior and education.  In 1998, Dr. Satcher took his place as the second black person to receive the appointment.  Since leaving that appointment in 2001, Dr. Satcher has established the Satcher Health Leadership Institute and is living back in Atlanta, GA, the city in which he first moved to 50 years ago. 

On this week's episode of "The Shrine," field correspondent Bruno Gaston talks with Dr. Satcher about his opinions on the U.S. health care system.  Dr. Satcher answers questions and gives his insight to some of the following questions and topics: 

• What would be your vision of health care reform in this country? 
• How do you put into context the reality of a broken system for medical school students who will eventually work as physicians? 
• What can we learn from other countries in terms of health care systems? 
• What can, or should the government invest in certain means of traditional medicine as a means to prevent illness or as an element of primary care? 
• Can black America trust that health care reform will be equitable and non abusive? 
• H1N1 Vaccine 

In addition to the dialogue, there's new music by Wale, Aisha Sekhmet, and others.

On this week's episode of The Shrine, DJ 4th Wurld wholistically combines some of his many skills as a media professional by wearing several hats.

One hat that he obviously wears is that of a D.J., so his first interview is with Atlanta, GA's own Sol Messiah, Fhena, and new ATLien Saroc and South Africa's own Peter Ngcobo of Soweto Street Beat, all of whom are performing this weekend in Atlanta at The Awakening, headlined by Baltimore, MD's own Fertile Ground. 

The second hat 4th Wurld wears is that of a sociopolitical activist. His second interview is with Mr. Derek George, a recent victim of a hate crime in upstate New York. On October 9, 2009, Mr. George, 18, was assaulted by Bruce Vroman , 23, and thrown into a raging bonfire and left to die. Though he escaped alive, Mr. George is severely injured with 2nd & 3rd degree burns and the history behind what led up to this incident is extremely shocking. 

The third hat that 4th Wurld wears is that of a proponent of metaphysics, spirituality, and health. The final interview of the day is with Rakhem Seku, author of the new book entitled "Tame Your Woman." His book is a guide to teaching men Tantric techniques to assist them in bringing more intimacy and happiness into their relationships with their woman.  Tantric techniques ultimately allow one to uplift and heal their mate within the process of coming together to have sex.
