Leaders Who Create Resources: Join Jason Squires as he sits down with Alex Smith. Alex is on staff at The Pointe Church in Eastanollee, GA. Alex shares how her passion for helping others started, whether creating resources was intentional or a natural outflow of her church role, and what her process looks like for turning ideas into practical tools anyone can use. In this conversation, Alex opens up about the challenges she's faced when hitting creative walls, how she pushes through, and the advice she'd give to new content creators who are just starting out. If you're a worship leader, keyboard player, or content creator looking for inspiration, this is a podcast you won't want to miss. Check out Alex on Instagram @alexonthekeyz.
In this clip from the Friday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey to ponder best-case scenarios for the Steelers in 2025 and what needs to go right to attain them. Do T.J. Watt, Alex Smith, Nick Herbig and the pass rush need to be better than they were in 2024? And how much will a reloaded offensive line with Derrick Harmon and Yahya Black next to Cam Heyward and Keeanu Benton help in that pursuit? Can the entire quarterback room be good enough for OC Arthur Smith? From Aaron Rodgers, who's facing questions about how quickly he can find his stride, to Mason Rudolph in a backup role. And can coach Mike Tomlin get where he wants to go if Broderick Jones, and potentially also Troy Fautanu, aren't playing at close to a Pro Bowl level in protecting a largely immobile Rodgers behind center? Our duo tackles those questions and more.

In this week's Goblins & Growlers Podcast, Inverlyst welcomes Alex of Alpha Comics & Games to pull back the curtain on writing romance into your tabletop games. Together, they tackle the messy realities of GMing smoochable NPCs, avoiding bleed, and why player-to-player romance can derail a campaign faster than a crit fail. From sexy smiths to sahuagin brothels, Alex shares her hard-earned lessons on slow burns, narrative flags, and why romance should challenge players instead of pandering to them. Whether you're a GM curious about adding intimacy to your campaign or a player wondering why your bard's “roll to seduce” isn't working, this episode sets the groundwork.

In today's podcast we talk with Eric Wong, geriatrician-researcher from Toronto, and Thiago Silva, geriatrician-researcher from Brazil, about the comprehensive geriatrics assessment. We spend the first 30 minutes (at least) discussing what, exactly is the comprehensive geriatric assessment, including: What domains of assessment are essential/mandatory components of the comprehensive geriatrics assessment? Who performs it? Is a multidisciplinary team required? Can a geriatrician perform it alone? Can non-geriatricians perform it? Who is the comprehensive geriatrics assessment for? Who is most likely to benefit? Eric Widera suggests not as much benefit for very sick and very healthy older adults, more benefit in the vast middle. Why do the comprehensive geriatrics assessment? What are the interventions that it leads to (we cover this more conceptually, rather than naming all possible interventions) How does the comprehensive geriatrics assessment relate to the 4Ms (or 5 Ms)? How long does it take to conduct a comprehensive geriatrics assessment? What's the evidence (BMJ meta analysis) for the comprehensive geriatrics assessment? What are the outcomes we hope for from the comprehensive geriatrics assessment? That final point, about outcomes, bring's us to Eric Wong's study, published in JAGS, which evaluates the cost effectiveness of the comprehensive geriatrics assessment performed by a geriatrician across settings (e.g. acute care, rehab, community clinics). As an aside, as the editor at JAGS who managed this manuscript, I will say that we don't ordinarily publish cost effectiveness studies at JAGS, as the methods are opaque to our clinical audience (e.g. raise your hand if you understand what ‘CGA provided in the combination of acute care and rehab was non-dominated' means). We published this article because its bottom line is of great interest to geriatricians. In Eric's study, geriatricians performing CGA were more cost effective than usual care in Every. Single. Setting. And of course cost effectiveness is only one small piece of the argument for why we do the comprehensive geriatrics assessment in the first place (no patient in the history of the world has ever asked for a test or treatment because it's cost effective for the health care system). I'll close with a couple of “mic drop” excerpts from Thiago's accompanying editorial: Finally, it is instructive to compare the cost-effectiveness of geriatric services and CGAs with other interventions. A recent analysis of lecanemab for early-stage Alzheimer's disease found that gaining one QALY would cost approximately $287,000 (USD). In contrast, Wong et al. estimated that adding community-based CGA would cost about $1203 (CAD) per quality-adjusted life month (QALM) (equating to roughly $10,105 (USD) per QALY, using $1 USD = $0.7 CAD), making geriatrician-led CGA nearly 30 times more cost-effective. Put simply, for each dollar spent to improve quality of life for a year through CGA, one would need to spend almost $30 to achieve the same benefit with lecanemab. Ultimately, the question is not whether geriatricians represent a worthwhile investment (they are) but how healthcare systems can ensure that every older adult requiring specialized, comprehensive care can access it. Wong et al.'s modeling study provides a valuable contribution by showing that geriatricians placed in acute and rehabilitation settings offer the most cost-effective deployment given current workforce limitations. Despite some caveats, the overarching message remains clear: geriatric expertise not only enhances care quality but can also align with health-economic objectives, especially in high-acuity environments. However, we cannot allow an inadequate geriatric workforce to become a permanent constraint, forcing painful decisions about which older adults and which settings will miss out on optimal geriatric care. Instead, we should continue to strive to increase the number of geriatricians through robust training programs and payment model reform to ensure that cost-effective care can be provided for this large and growing vulnerable population. -Alex Smith

On a prior podcast we talked with Todd Semla and Mike Steinman about the update to the AGS Beers Criteria of potentially inappropriate medications in older adults (Todd and Mike co-chair the AGS Beers Criteria Panel). One of the questions that came up was - well if we should probably think twice or avoid that medication, what should we do instead? Today we talk with Todd and Mike about their new recommendations of alternative treatments to the AGS Beers Criteria, published recently in JAGS, and also presented at the 2025 AGS conference in Chicago (and available on demand online). We had a lot of fun at the start of the podcast talking about the appropriate analogy for how clinicians should use the AGS Beers Criteria. In our last podcast, the analogy was a stop sign. You should come to a stop before you prescribe or refill a medication on the Beers list, look around at alternatives, and consider how to proceed. You might in the end decide to proceed, as there are certainly situations in which it does make sense to start or continue a medication on the Beers list. Today's analogy had somewhat higher stakes, involving a driver, a pothole in the road, and a cyclist on the side who you'd hit if you swerved. Really upping the anti!!! The podcast is framed around a case Eric crafted of a patient with most of the medications and conditions on the Beers list. We used this as a springboard to discuss the following issues (with links to prior GeriPal podcasts): Insomnia (Doxepin is an alternative, trazodone and melatonin are not?!?) Diabetes management PPI for GERD Treatments for pain, including NSAIDS, COX2, and gabapentinoids Cannabis Deprescribing,org - terrific Canadian website (no tariff to use) And I hope that the prescribing landscape is indeed getting better (thanks to Kai on guitar)! -Alex Smith
NFL Super Bowl Champion, Businessman, ActorThis episode. I Get to Chat with Fellow Washingtonian NFL Super Bowl Champion Vernon Davis!!In the 2011–12 NFL playoffs with the 49ers, Davis caught the game-winning touchdown pass from Alex Smith against the New Orleans Saints, referred to as "The Catch III".

Eugenio Suarez returning to Seattle is so exciting, and Brock and Salk talk about how this shows that the Mariners are very serious about 2025. They also tie the Suarez trade back to Cal Raleigh's conversation that he had with the front office in Spring Training about a committment to winning and how this lives up to the team's word. In Blue 88, Brock takes a look at AJ Barner, comparing Sam Darnold to Alex Smith and Brock's takeaways from UW camp.
In his book, “Why We Revolt,” Victor Montori decries the industrialization of healthcare. We've become a healthcare factory, beholden to health systems motivated by profit. In particular, he laments the loss of the “care” aspect of healthcare. Clinicians are under the clock to churn through patients. Patients are tasked with doing work outside of the clinic. Patients are tasked with hours and hours of work to self manage, obtain and manage medications, track weights and fingersticks, not to mention scheduling visits and waiting around for the visit to start. Now we have an app for that. For what, you ask? Well, for everything! Digital burden is real. Think about what we ask patients to do: charge your device, remember your password, 2 factor authentication, each interface is different, wait…where do you enter your fingersticks again? Victor is an endocrinologist who often provides care for older patients with multiple chronic conditions, polypharmacy, and complex social situations. He's “one of us.” Some might argue that these circumstances call for incremental change. Not Victor. He argues that we need a revolution. In particular, he argues that the revolution must come from patients to be successful. On this podcast we discuss: Why do we need a revolution? What made him get to this point of arguing for a revolt? Why should the revolution be patient led, rather than clinician led? What role do clinicians have to play? What is minimally disruptive medicine (a term Victor coined with Carl May and Francis Mair in 2009)? How does shared decision making fit into the revolution? What's the matter with guidelines? What's the role of standardization? We suspect that most geriatrics and palliative care providers feel like they've escaped many of the issues Victor describes, trading less glamorous and remunerative work for more satisfying time spent caring for patients; focusing on what matters, goals of care, and attention to emotion and social well-being. Are we deluding ourselves? If you'd like to join the revolution, please check out Victor's website, patientrevolution.org And I believe this is the first Peter Gabriel song request! I think Peter Gabriel's album So was the first cassette tape I purchased. About time, 350+ podcasts in. My son Kai turns this very non-guitar friendly song into an acoustic jam for the audio-only podcast version; you get my weaker attempt on YouTube :) Finally, a quick plug for the Sommer Lecture series in Portland OR. Victor and I had a terrific time bonding at this year's lecture series. While not strictly geriatrics and palliative care focused, the lectures seem targeted at a broad audience, with something for everyone. And yes, I made them sing parody songs :) -Alex Smith

June Lunney famously characterized the end of life functional course of people with dementia as a slow dwindle over time. Tom Gill later found that people with dementia do indeed have persistent severe disability throughout the last year of their lives. But from our clinical work, many of us are familiar with people with dementia who experience sudden shocks to their health, think hip fracture, think hospitalization for pneumonia. Those disruptive events or shocks often portend a major decline in function from which people with dementia never fully recover. And they're often a sign of (or cause of?) worsening prognosis. Today we talk about disruptive events, or health and wealth shocks. We start with Lauren Hunt, who described the incidence and outcomes of hip fracture and hospitalization for pneumonia in a pair of publications in JAGS, comparing people with dementia who experience these events to people without dementia. We then turn to social events, starting with Rebecca Rodin, who studied the effect of widowhood on mortality and function for people with dementia, cancer, and organ failure, published in JAMA Network Open. Finally, we turn to Tsai-Chin Cho, who studied the impact of a wealth shock (loss of 75%+ of wealth in a short time period) on cognitive decline in 4 countries. Tsai-Chin's article, published in Lancet Healthy Longevity, found a tantalizing hint that countries with stronger safety nets had lower incidence of wealth shocks, and less of a deleterious impact of the wealth shock on cognitive function. Wait, so one key message is that social health is linked to physical and cognitive health?!? And the government can do something about that?!? Yes indeed, we like to hammer that home regularly, dear listeners. And I enjoyed singing Leonard Cohent's Who By Fire, about the many ways people might die…you know…typical uplifting GeriPal song lyrics! -Alex Smith Additional links mentioned by Tsai-Chin Cho: -Wealth shocks and mortality in the US -Change in marital status as a risk for wealth shock
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Leitz Camera, or as we know it today, Leica. The Leitz Camera Co. is far older than the cameras they produce. In today's episode, Bill leads a panel of photographers, including Alex (Smith), John Roberts, and David, who all have one thing in common: their love of Leicas, from the Barnack rangefinders to the iconic M-Series of rangefinders and even the controversial SLR line of Leicaflexes! But no matter which side of the fence you land on, there is something special about Leica cameras and their lenses that makes them not only expensive but worth every penny. Also Alex (our Alex) comes in with a presentation on the Leica Freedom Train, an effort by Ernst Leitz II and Elsie Kuehn-Leitz, to move hundreds of Jewish employees and their families outside of Germany from 1935-1939 and the company's efforts to protect those enslaved under the Nazis and employed by Leitz during the war.

Have any of you watched the movie “The Notebook”? At the end, one of the characters, who has dementia, experiences an episode of lucidity. When I watched it, between tears (I'm a complete softie) I remember thinking, “Oh no! This will give people false hope! That their loved one is ‘in there.' If only they could find the right key to unlock the lock and let them out.” Today we talk about lucid episodes and what they might mean to the person with dementia, their family and loved ones, to philosophers, to clinicians, to neuroscientists. Our guests are Andrea Gilmore-Bykovskyi, a nurse researcher, and Andrew Peterson, a philosopher. We had a wide ranging discussion that touched on (among many things): A consensus definition developed at an NIH conference, organized by the recently retired NIA program officer Basil Eldadah (we will miss you Basil!). Andrew complicates this definition, stating is raises more questions than answers. Hospice nurses know that terminal lucidity “is a thing” and have pretty much all seen it Family and caregiver stories of lucid episodes and what they meant to them, including early glimpses into a study Andrea is doing using video to capture episodes and show them to family. Potential for experiences to elicit “false hope”, misunderstanding/misinterpreting, and changing say code status from DNR to full code (rare but happens). Sam Parnia's work on brain activity during CPR and near death episodes Ethical issues these lucid episodes raise Should clinicians treat people with dementia as always lucid? Having some level of awareness? Parallels between how we treat people with advanced dementia, who may or may not be lucid, and how we treat AI, who may or may not be conscious, or experiencing paradoxical lucidity on their way to full consciousness. I try to say please and thank you to the AI I interact with other than Alexa, who is obviously way behind. The Age of Aging podcast episode on lucidity, featuring Anne Bastings, Jason Karlawish, Elizabeth Donnarumma, and Justin Clapp Was Andrew's song choice, “I can see clearly now” better than Eric's suggestion “Silent Lucidity” by Queensryche? Enjoy! -Alex Smith

Our main focus today was on nudging critical care clinicians to consider a more palliative approach to care. Our guests are all trained in critical care: Kate Courtright, Scott Halpern, and Jaspal Singh. Kate and Scott have additional training in palliative medicine. To start. we review: What is a nudge? Also called behavioral interventions, heuristics, and cognitive biases. Prior podcasts on the ethics of nudging, and a different trial conducted by Kate and Scott in which the default for hospitalized seriously ill patients was to receive a palliative care consult. What is sludge? I'd never heard the term, perhaps outside of Eric's pejorative reference to my coffee after adding copious creamers, flavoring, and sweeteners. Sludge is apparently when you create barriers or extra work for someone. For example, putting the healthy food at the back of the grocery store is sludge; making an applicant for health insurance climb the flight of stairs to the office - weeding out those less fit - is also sludge. Prior-auth forms? Sludge. Examples of nudges, some based in health care, others in coffee. This specific study, published in JAMA Internal Medicine, was conducted in 17 ICUs in North Carolina. Many were community hospitals. Participants were critically ill and intubated. Clinicians were randomized to 4 groups: Usual care Prognosis nudge - EHR prompt asking, do you think your patient will be alive in 6 months? This is called a focusing effect Comfort care nudge - EHR prompt asking if they'd offered comfort-focused care. This is called accountable justification - an appeal to standards of care for critically ill patients endorsed by multiple professional societies. Both the prognosis and comfort care nudge. A few key points of discussion: Is an EHR prompt a nudge or sludge? The intervention was a negative study for the primary outcome, hospital length of stay. Why? The prognosis nudge did nothing. What to make of that? Would you think an EHR nudge to consider prognosis might move the needle, at least on some outcomes? The nudge toward offering comfort care led to more hospice and early comfort-care orders. Is this due to chance alone, given the multiplicity of secondary outcomes examined? Or is it a tantalizing finding that suggests a remarkably low cost EHR based nudge might, on a population level, lead to critical care clinicians offering comfort care and hospice more frequently? Imagine! -Alex Smith
We flashback to discuss a movie that was much-requested when it was first released, but just didn't fit into our schedule -- Jerry Seinfeld's baffling paean to the Pop Tart, Unfrosted, a film that throws an astounding cavalcade of comedy talent at ideas that seem (apologies) a bit undercooked. Also, we were blessed by the rare in-studio presence of our beloved producer, Alex Smith, who hadn't actually seen the movie, which made explaining the madness of the "plot" all the more enjoyable.Wikipedia page for UnfrostedRecommended in this episode:Dan: The In-Laws (1979)Stu: Sexy Beast (2000)Elliott: Dark Days (2000)Alex: Gridlock (1996)Aura has a great deal for Mother's Day.
