In this medical ethics report from the UKMFA podcast, host Ian Humphreys explores the hidden, uncomfortable realities of assisted suicide. As the UK considers reintroducing the Terminally Ill Adults Assisted Dying Bill, the mainstream narrative presents a peaceful, sanitized version of an assisted death. But what is the actual physiological and pharmacological reality of these protocols?Ian is joined by Amanda Hunter, convenor of this series of podcasts, Dr Liz Evans, CEO of the UK Medical Freedom Alliance and special guest Dr Joel Zivot MD/FRCPC, a practicing Academic Physician specializing in Anaesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine. Dr Zivot did his medical training in Canada and the US, with additional qualifications in Bioethics and Law. He currently works in Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia as an Associate and Adjunct Professor in various departments. Drawing from his extensive research into US death row executions and Canada's MAID (Medical Assistance in Dying) system, Dr Zivot reveals the unacknowledged and horrifying physical suffering experienced by the patient in Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia.“Assisted dying is death-loving. It's not life-loving. As a physician, I love life. I'm an advocate for life. I'm not an advocate for death.” — Dr Joel ZivotKey Topics DiscussedImpersonating a Medical Act: Why expanding medical care to include killing is an unprecedented ethical shift that transforms healing drugs into lethal poisons.The Execution Parallel: How the unresearched chemical cocktails used for death row executions mirror the intravenous protocols utilized in Canadian MAID deaths.The Truth About Midazolam & Paralytics: How paralyzing drugs are used in Assisted Suicide protocols to artificially create an outward appearance of peace for witnesses, while potentially masking profound internal distress of the patient as they suffocate to death.Pulmonary Oedema Findings: Dr Zivot's shocking autopsy research revealing that 75% to 80% of executed individuals die from severe pulmonary oedema—meaning they die by oxygen starvation and suffocation.The Legislative Slippery Slope: Why legal safeguards fail and how the introduction of assisted suicide inevitably expands to vulnerable, lonely, or under-resourced populations, while actively eroding the funding and practice of true palliative care.IN SUMMARY: Assisted Suicide deaths are not the glamorous and beautiful “Hollywood” deaths-on-demand, sold by the sponsors of the Assisted Dying Bill and lobby groups such as Dignity in Dying.UKMFA: CALL TO ACTION: Please follow us and subscribe on our YouTube and Rumble channels and please share our content on social media and with friends and family, to help us get the message out and increase our reach.All our podcasts can also be found on the major audio platforms e.g. Apple and Spotify.Our Substack is found here: https://substack.com/@ukmfa1We are grateful for all donations to help us to continue and grow our work; lobbying decision makers; educating and empowering the public; running campaigns and producing our podcasts.

At the 19th World Congress of the Societies of Anaesthesiologists (WCSA 2026) in Marrakesh, TopMedTalk welcomes Desiree Chappell back alongside Kate Leslie to interview Professor Palesa Motshabi-Chakane, Associate Professor and Head of Anaesthesiology at the University of the Witwatersrand and her colleague, Dr Mullai Slave a PhD candidate at University of the Witwatersrand. They discuss a study of 629 women undergoing cesarean section with spinal anesthesia at Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital, where 23–33% are HIV positive. Using standard monitoring plus BD APM noninvasive continuous hemodynamic monitoring, they compared HIV-positive and HIV-negative patients and found higher hypotension incidence in HIV-positive women (68% vs 64%), with lower heart rate and lower cardiac index over 60 minutes. Additional testing included echocardiography with speckle tracking, pro-BNP, and autonomic assessments, with HIV-positive patients showing stiffer ventricles; Apgar scores did not differ. They discuss replication, multicenter research, and potential machine-learning tools to predict hypotension risk, and describe BD Advanced Patient Monitoring grant support enabling equipment, sensors, staffing, and training (~200 staff) to complete data collection in about six months. Edwards Lifesciences is now known as Becton Dickinson Advanced Patient Monitoring (BD APM).

Send a textIm Rahmen der Simulationswoche der Anästhesiologie 2026 sprechen wir über den Stellenwert von Simulationstraining in der Aus- und Weiterbildung. Wie belastbar ist die Evidenz? Welche Kompetenzen werden tatsächlich verbessert? Und warum ist der direkte Nachweis eines Effekts auf Patientenergebnisse methodisch so schwierig?Simulationstraining ist in der Anästhesiologie evidenzbasiert eine effektive Methode zur Verbesserung von theoretischem Wissen, praktischen Fertigkeiten und nicht-technischen Kompetenzen wie Teamarbeit, Kommunikation und Problemlösung. Mehrere Meta-Analysen und systematische Reviews zeigen, dass simulationsbasierte Trainingsformate im Vergleich zu nicht-simulationsbasierten Ansätzen signifikant bessere Ergebnisse in Wissenstests, technischen Skills und der Entwicklung nicht-technischer Kompetenzen erzielen [1,2].Insbesondere die Förderung von Teamleistung und interdisziplinärer Kommunikation wird als zentraler Mehrwert hervorgehoben, da gerade in hochdynamischen und sicherheitskritischen Situationen – wie perioperativen Krisen – die Koordination im Team entscheidend ist [3,4]. Simulation ermöglicht das strukturierte Training von Crisis Resource Management (CRM), Entscheidungsfindung unter Stress sowie standardisierter Kommunikation.Moderne Simulationstechnologien, einschließlich Virtual-Reality-basierter Anwendungen, erweitern das Spektrum der Trainingsmöglichkeiten. Sie erlauben risikofreies Üben komplexer Szenarien und technischer Prozeduren, insbesondere in Hochrisikobereichen wie der geburtshilflichen Anästhesie [4,5]. Simulation wird daher zunehmend als integraler Bestandteil der anästhesiologischen Aus- und Weiterbildung angesehen und von Expert:innen als verpflichtender Bestandteil strukturierter Curricula gefordert [3,9].Die Evidenz für eine direkte Verbesserung klinischer Patientenergebnisse durch Simulationstraining ist hingegen bislang limitiert. Zwar existieren Hinweise auf positive Effekte in spezifischen Kontexten, robuste und kausal belastbare Outcome-Daten sind jedoch selten [2,6–8]. Die meisten Studien belegen Verbesserungen auf Ebene von Wissen, technischen Fertigkeiten und Teamperformance, während der Transfer in harte klinische Endpunkte weiterhin Gegenstand aktueller Forschung ist.Zusammenfassend ist Simulationstraining in der Anästhesie klar evidenzbasiert wirksam hinsichtlich Kompetenzentwicklung – insbesondere technischer und nicht-technischer Fähigkeiten – während der direkte Nachweis eines Effekts auf Patientenergebnisse methodisch anspruchsvoll bleibt. Unabhängig davon wird Simulation als zentrales Instrument moderner Patientensicherheit und kontinuierlicher professioneller Entwicklung betrachtet.Weiterführende LiteraturSu Y, Zeng Y.

Send us a textDer Einsatz von Hydroxyethylstärke (HES) zur perioperativen Volumentherapie ist seit Jahren kontrovers diskutiert, insbesondere im Hinblick auf mögliche renale Risiken. In dieser Episode analysieren wir die PHOENICS-Studie, die größte randomisierte, doppelblinde Untersuchung zum Vergleich von 6 % HES 130/0.4 mit kristalloiden Lösungen im perioperativen Einsatz.Buhre W, Díaz-Cambronero O, Schaefer S, et al.Safety and efficacy of 6 % hydroxyethyl starch in patients undergoing major surgery: The randomised controlled PHOENICS trial.European Journal of Anaesthesiology. 2026;43:1–10.DOI: 10.1097/EJA.0000000000002307Die perioperative Volumentherapie ist ein zentraler Bestandteil der hämodynamischen Stabilisierung bei großen chirurgischen Eingriffen. Während Hydroxyethylstärke (HES) aufgrund seiner intravasalen Verweildauer effektiv zur Volumenexpansion eingesetzt wird, haben frühere Studien bei kritisch kranken und septischen Patient:innen Sicherheitsbedenken hinsichtlich renaler Komplikationen aufgeworfen.Die PHOENICS-Studie ist eine multizentrische, randomisierte, doppelblinde Phase-IV-Studie, in der 1958 Patient:innen (ASA II–III) mit erwarteten Blutverlusten ≥ 500 ml bei elektiver abdomineller Chirurgie entweder 6 % HES 130/0.4 oder eine balancierte kristalloide Lösung erhielten. Die Volumentherapie erfolgte leitliniengerecht und innerhalb der zugelassenen Dosierungsgrenzen. Primärer Endpunkt war die Veränderung der cystatin-C-basierten geschätzten glomerulären Filtrationsrate (eGFR) innerhalb der ersten drei postoperativen Tage. Ein zentraler sekundärer Endpunkt war ein kombinierter Endpunkt aus Mortalität und schweren postoperativen Komplikationen bis Tag 90.HES erwies sich im primären Endpunkt als nicht unterlegen gegenüber kristalloiden Lösungen hinsichtlich der Einschränkung der frühen postoperativen Nierenfunktion. Auch für den kombinierten Endpunkt aus Mortalität und schweren Komplikationen nach 90 Tagen konnte Nichtunterlegenheit gezeigt werden. Die Ein-Jahres-Nachbeobachtung ergab keine signifikanten Unterschiede bezüglich Gesamtmortalität oder Notwendigkeit einer Nierenersatztherapie. Darüber hinaus zeigten sich bei HES eine geringere positive Flüssigkeitsbilanz, eine geringere Abnahme des mittleren arteriellen Drucks sowie ein reduzierter Bedarf an vasoaktiven Substanzen.Die Ergebnisse der PHOENICS-Studie liefern robuste Evidenz dafür, dass der perioperative, indikationsgerechte Einsatz von 6 % HES 130/0.4 bei chirurgischen Patient:innen ohne Kontraindikationen gut verträglich ist und keine klinisch relevante Verschlechterung der Nierenfunktion oder der postoperativen Outcomes verursacht.

Ruth Gotian: Networking in the Age of AI Ruth Gotian is the former Chief Learning Officer and Associate Professor of Education in Anaesthesiology at Weill Cornell Medicine. Thinkers50 has ranked her the #1 emerging management thinker in the world, and she’s a top LinkedIn voice in mentoring. She’s the author of The Success Factor and, with Andy Lopata, The Financial Times Guide to Mentoring. Most of us recognize the value of building a better network, but we also know the time and dedication it takes. In this conversation, Ruth and I explore how we can use AI tools to do some of the administrative legwork so that we can spend more time on the real relationship-building. Key Points McKinsey reports that since the pandemic, most people's networks have shrunk or stalled. Consider the 90/9/1 rule: 90% of people lurk in online communities, 9% interact somewhat regularly, 1% post and lead the conversation. Use AI to enhance, not replace, your communications. Invite AI to do the administrative legwork (i.e. brainstorming, proofreading) so you focus on the human aspects. Ask AI to analyze speaker and attendee lists in advance at conferences in the context of your goals. Consider being the person that puts together an in-person dinner or gathering at a conference. Use AI to help you prep questions and discover the best people to invite. Ask AI to help complete your LinkedIn profile. An All-Star LinkedIn profile makes it substantially more likely that you'll get surfaced to others.

Setting boundaries is crucial to avoid being taken advantage of. ·      Learning to say no can be difficult but necessary for self-care. ·      Finding humour in life can help alleviate stress and connect with others. ·      Authenticity allows for deeper connections and personal growth. ·      Perfectionism can hinder personal development and trying new things. ·      Practicing gratitude shifts the mindset from lack to abundance. ·      Rest is essential and should not be viewed as a reward. ·      Daily check-ins with oneself can help maintain boundaries and self-worth. ·      Connection is more important than perfection in relationships. ·      It's okay to prioritize joy and laughter in life.  Brian's website: www.briankeanefitness.com (Website) TIFFANY MOON, MD   (Instagram) Tiffany Moon, MD (@tiffanymoonmd) • Instagram photos and videos   (Twitter) Tiffany Moon, MD, FASA, D.ABA (@TiffanyMoonMD) / X   (Tiktok) https:// www.tiktok.com/@tiffanymoonmd   (Facebook) https:// www.facebook.com/tiffanymoonmd/(Youtube)   Tiffany Moon, MD - YouTube  

In this piece we discuss all things EEG with Chris Connor, an anesthesiologist and researcher from Boston, USA, and Jamie Sleigh, an anesthesiologist and researcher from Hamilton, New Zealand. We start by discussing the engineering behind the BIS algorithm, then move to interpreting the raw EEG, the spectrogram and burst suppression. Finally we discuss the ‘titration paradox' and how it might influence research and AI. Presented by Andy Cumpstey and Kate Leslie on location at the Annual Scientific Meeting of the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists and Faculty of Pain Medicine in Cairns, Australia, with their guests, Dr Chris Connor, Assistant Professor and Vice Chair ad interim for Research, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, USA, and Professor Jamie Sleigh, Professor of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care, Waikato Clinical School, University of Auckland, New Zealand.

Consciousness is one of the most fundamental aspects of our existence, but it remains barely understood, even defined. Across the world scholars of many disciplines - philosophy, science, social science, theology - are joined on a quest to understand this phenomenon.Tune into one of the more original and controversial thinkers at the forefront of consciousness research, Stuart Hameroff, as he presents his ideas. Hameroff is an anaesthesiologist who, alongside Roger Penrose, proposes that the source of consciousness is structural, produced from a certain shape in our brain. He expands on this, and much more (such as evolution), in this talk.

Did consciousness exist before life? Could such a counter-intuitive idea, in fact, be the answer to the hard problem of consciousness?Join anaesthesiologist Stuart Hameroff as he puts forward his theory that consciousness came before the origin of life on Earth, using quantum mechanics and his research with Sir Roger Penrose to support his claim. Stuart is a professor at the University of Arizona, and he is known for his studies of consciousness and his controversial contention that consciousness originates from quantum states in neural microtubules. He is also the lead organizer of the Science of Consciousness conference.To witness such debates live buy tickets for our upcoming festival: https://howthelightgetsin.org/festivals/And visit our website for many more articles, videos, and podcasts like this one: https://iai.tv/You can find everything we referenced here: https://linktr.ee/philosophyforourtimesSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ruth Gotian: The Financial Times Guide to Mentoring Ruth Gotian is the Chief Learning Officer and Associate Professor of Education in Anaesthesiology at Weill Cornell Medicine. She has been hailed by Nature and The Wall Street Journal as an expert in mentorship and leader­ship development. Thinkers50 has ranked her the #1 emerging management thinker in the world and she's a top LinkedIn voice in mentoring. Ruth the author of The Success Factor and now along with Andy Lopata, The Financial Times Guide to Mentoring*. We've all heard about the benefits of mentoring. In addition to receiving mentoring, great leaders give back by providing it to others. In this episode, Ruth and I discuss what the research shows that the best mentors do well. Key Points Effective mentors use a combination of skills in coaching, sponsorship, role-modeling, and mentoring to support the situation. Informal mentoring tends to be more effective than formal pairings. 61% of mentoring relationships develop organically. Open up your network to your mentee. It's an essential way to support their growth — and yours. Park your ego at the door. Instead, allow your mentee to shine. With their permission, amplify their achievements. Take the role of “sophisticated barbarian.” Approach mentee situations with knowledge and experience, but with distance and objectivity of their other, daily interactions. Document the challenges, accomplishments, and next steps during mentoring. This helps your mentee recognize accomplishments and grow their confidence.

Jerry M. Kantor, L.Ac., CCH, MMHS, is a faculty member of the Ontario College of Homeopathic Medicine and owner of Vital Force Health Care LLC, a Boston-area homeopathy and acupuncture practice. The first acupuncturist to receive an academic appointment at Harvard Medical School's Department of Anaesthesiology, Kantor is the author of Sane Asylums, Interpreting Chronic Illness, The Toxic Relationship Cure, and Autism Reversal Toolbox. New Book Presents the Profound Connections between Emotions and their Physical Manifestations in Illness In addition to working well for purely physical ailments, homeopathy offers remedies for engaging directly with the subconscious mind and ameliorating embedded, existential causes of chronic illness—called “miasms” in classical homeopathy. Presenting diagnostic insight, specific homeopathic remedies, and successful case study examples about the profound connections between emotions and their physical manifestations in illness, Jerry M. Kantor correlates the five classical miasms and their core existential quandaries with the Five Elements and Phase Theory of Chinese Medicine. He likens inborn foundational emotions to tools, each one designed to solve a stress-related problem. Self-sabotaging imbalances—energetic and physical—can occur when an emotional tool is excessively used, such as when a once-familiar stress is no longer present, or underused, as when a stressful input is inadequately managed. He explains how identifying a default emotional response—such as anxiety or anger—along with its accompanying physical symptoms can determine the core existential stress or heredity pattern underlying a chronic condition. For each of the five classical miasms and their associated physical and emotional conditions, the author presents homeopathic remedies that mollify the impact of specific existential quandaries and explains their indications through detailed examples from his practice #homeopathy Learn more about your ad choices.
