What does pain look like in cats? A new Purr Podcast with Dr. Tamara Grubb. Tammy is back for our second episode, and this time we do a deep dive into pain management in cats. Some of the signs are clear enough that even the most casual observer would notice, but cats are masters of concealment, and most of the time they hide their discomfort so well that even devoted owners and experienced clinicians can miss what is right in front of them. We talk about what to look for, how to think about pain assessment across different situations and life stages, and what we can do about it once we actually find it.Thanks for tuning in to the Purr Podcast with Dr. Susan and Dr. Jolle!If you enjoyed today's episode, don't forget to subscribe, rate, and leave us a review—it really helps other cat lovers and vet nerds find the show.

From the World Congress of Anesthesiologists in Marrakech, TopMedTalk hosts Mike Grocott and Kate Leslie discuss perioperative cardiac risk assessment with Hilary Grocott, Professor and Head of, The Department of Anesthesiology, Pharmacology & Therapeutics (University of British Columbia) and Michelle Chew Professor of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine at Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden, and editor for the British Journal of Anaesthesia. The conversation reviews perioperative cardiac biomarkers, noting abundant prognostic data but limited evidence for biomarker-led management. The discussion emphasizes that elevated troponins can reflect non-cardiac complications (AKI, PE, sepsis) as well as myocardial injury or heart failure, requiring context-specific follow-up pathways. The group highlights NT-proBNP as a specific marker for heart failure and useful for screening and optimization. The podcast then focuses on pulmonary hypertension and failing right ventricle: detect via history, exam, echo, and biomarkers; prioritize preemptive preparation, arterial beat-to-beat monitoring, modest fluids, early vasopressors/inotropes (norepinephrine, low-dose epinephrine), ventilatory optimization, and vigilant, rapid intervention.

The world has the knowledge to make anesthesia safer, but too often it's the basics that are missing where the need is greatest. We're talking about perioperative patient safety in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where a smaller share of surgical volume can still carry a massive share of perioperative death and disability. That imbalance isn't inevitable, and it isn't solved by one tool or one training course. It changes when systems change. We walk through the biggest systemic barriers starting with anesthesia workforce shortages and the downstream effects on access, delays, and confidence in care. We also dig into national surgical, obstetric, and anesthesia plans (NSOAPs) and how partnerships with organizations like the World Health Organization and the World Federation of Societies of Anesthesiologists can help countries set targets, build capacity, and track progress. From there, we get painfully practical: monitors, oxygen, essential medicines, and rescue drugs. We discuss the WHO Surgical Safety Checklist, what makes implementation succeed, and why the WFSA International Standards for a Safe Practice of Anesthesia matter as both a minimum safety floor and a roadmap for improvement. We close on a critical question for quality improvement everywhere: how do you build accountability when risk-adjusted outcomes data is hard to collect, and what solutions are most realistic? Subscribe for more anesthesia patient safety conversations, share this episode with a colleague, and leave a review so more clinicians can find the show.For show notes & transcript, visit our episode page at apsf.org: https://www.apsf.org/podcast/307-perioperative-safety-in-low-and-middle-income-countries/© 2026, The Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation

Just Do It: Faith, Fear, and the Bionic BicepIn this episode of Word Time, Coach Shelby returns with a powerful testimony following his recent bicep surgery. Whether it's two new hips or a reattached limb, Coach explores what it means to be "bionic" in the Spirit while dealing with the very real presence of fear.Faith isn't the absence of fear; it's standing on the Word of God when fear shows up to test you. Coach shares a remarkable story from the operating room where his own vulnerability led to a bold witness from a medical professional, proving that there are no excuses for staying silent about Jesus—whether you're in a surgical center or a Walmart.We also tackle the danger of fabricating a God who conforms to our flesh. God isn't your "homeboy" who winks at sin, nor is He a cold judge whose mercy is outmatched by His judgment. We must let the Word of God define who He is, not our emotions or our past mistakes. Join us as we dive into Philippians 4 and learn the "fight" required to enter into God's rest.Key Highlights:The Bionic Man Testimony: Praise for a successful surgery and a "new shell" in progress.Psalms in the Surgery Room: How a bold anesthesiologist silenced fear with the Word.Fabricated Gods: Rejecting the "syrupy sweet" hyper-grace and the "overly harsh" versions of God.The Final Authority: Why we must let the Bible define God's character over our feelings.The Fight for Rest: Breaking down Philippians 4:6-9 and the process of crucifying the flesh.No Excuses: A challenge to be a witness for Christ in every workplace and situation.Key Scriptures:Philippians 4:6-9 – Be anxious for nothing; meditate on things that are true and noble.1 John 4:4 – Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world.Psalm 23 & 91 – The power of quoting the Word in the face of fear.#JustDoIt #ChristianTestimony #Philippians4 #FaithOverFear #Overcomer #WordTime #CoachForChrist #BionicFaithChapters0:00 - Intro: The Bionic Bicep & Surgery Update1:04 - The "New Shell": Taking Care of the Temple1:44 - Faith vs. Fear: The Operating Room Struggle2:32 - The Anesthesiologist's Witness: Quoting Psalms3:50 - No Excuses: Being a Light at Work4:21 - God is Able: Standing on Final Authority4:53 - The Danger of Fabricated Gods5:58 - Does Mercy Outweigh Judgment?

if you have any feedback, please send us a text! Thank you!When Congress celebrated July 4 by enacting House Resolution 1 (known as H.R. 1 or the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”), experts warned of massive impacts on Medicaid programs nationwide and the more than 70 million people who rely on them.H.R. 1 cut nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid, the largest funding reduction in the program's 60-year history. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates that by 2034, as many as 10 million individuals nationwide will become uninsured as numerous new eligibility rules are imposed in Medicaid and ACA programs.The Medicaid program, known as Medi-Cal in California, covers more than half of the state's children, 2.2 million seniors and people with disabilities, 1 in 5 working Californians, and millions of other people with low incomes. H.R. 1 is expected to cut $30 billion a year in federal funding from Medi-Cal, reducing overall access to care and possibly pushing some safety net providers into dire straits, according to the California Budget and Policy Center. Up to 3.4 million state residents could lose coverage, the center said. As the uninsured population rises, more medical bills will go unpaid, cutting revenue for California's health care safety net.Join my guests today who will explain the impact this will have on rural healthcare in California and the effect on anesthesiology services. Charley Yan is a fourth-year medical student at UC Davis with a background in Medicaid policy. Before medical school, he helped drive California's Medicaid expansion efforts and has since analyzed coverage and safety-net policies across multiple states.Mary Morales is an anesthesiologist at Stanford. She is the current vice chair of the CSA Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion committee (JEDI). Naileshni Singh (pronounced Na-Lesh-Knee Sing) is a pain interventionalist with a background in Anesthesiology from the University of California, Davis.  She is the current chair of the California Society of Anesthesiologist's Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion committee (JEDI).   Resources:https://csahq.org/2025/09/02/federal-funding-cuts-threaten-rural-californias-health-anesthesia-care/https://www.chcf.org/resource/how-massive-federal-cuts-will-create-unprecedented-challenges-medi-cal-patients-providers/ 

Catastrophic neurologic injury after a routine anesthetic is the kind of signal that stops you in your tracks, and that's exactly why we're talking about new perioperative recommendations for patients with maternal Venezuelan ancestry. We've seen reports of otherwise healthy adults and children who deteriorated after general anesthesia, with sevoflurane appearing repeatedly in the documented events. That pattern has led the American Society of Anesthesiologists and the Society for Pediatric Anesthesia to issue updated guidance aimed at preventing harm while the science catches up. We walk through what clinicians need to know about the suspected mitochondrial link and why maternal lineage matters for risk assessment. We also discuss why a negative family history does not reliably protect a patient and why laboratories must be explicitly alerted to the mutation of interest because it has been historically labeled a normal variant. Then, we get practical: how to screen for maternal Venezuelan heritage with care and sensitivity, how to explain the question without implying anything about immigration status, and how to approach anesthetic planning when definitive genetic testing is unavailable. We cover current thinking on avoiding volatile anesthetics, when regional anesthesia may help, considerations around propofol infusions, processed EEG monitoring, and postoperative observation for return to neurocognitive baseline. If this is helpful, please subscribe, share the episode with your team, and leave a review so more clinicians can find these patient safety updates.For show notes & transcript, visit our episode page at apsf.org: https://www.apsf.org/podcast/306-venezuelan-ancestry-anesthesia-alert/© 2026, The Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation

What happens when a physician realizes she's running all her burners at 110% and something has to change? In this inspiring episode of Rx for Success, host Dr. Randy Cook sits down with Dr. Cindy Van Praag—a board-certified anesthesiologist, integrative medicine physician, health coach, and podcast host of Inspired Mom MDs. Cindy shares her remarkable journey from a childhood fascination with a book called Diseases to a successful career in anesthesia, through periods of burnout, and ultimately to a place of healing and intentional living. She opens up about her transformative experience in the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine fellowship, how meditation and self-care became non-negotiable, and why she co-founded a ketamine infusion center to help those with treatment-resistant depression and chronic pain. Along the way, she offers practical wisdom on setting boundaries, listening to your inner voice, and crafting a life that fits—not the other way around. Key Topics Discussed: Growing up moving across the country and how it shaped comfort with change. The book Diseases as a childhood treasure and early sign of a medical calling. The career counselor who said, "You absolutely should apply to medical school." Why anesthesia? Peeking over the surgical drape and finding the "cool, calm" people. The natural segue from anesthesia to integrative medicine and coaching. Cindy's personal journey through burnout: losing her mother, raising young kids, and pushing 110%. How the Andrew Weil fellowship taught self-care as part of the curriculum. The power of meditation and breath work—starting with just a few minutes. Learning to set boundaries with patients and saying no without guilt. Co-founding Spring Center of Hope: a ketamine infusion therapy center for depression, suicidal ideation, and chronic pain. Why low-dose ketamine is radically different from the doses used in operating rooms. Launching Inspired Mom MDs podcast and why the lessons apply to everyone, not just physician moms. Cindy's three prescriptions for success: focus on what matters, release what you can't control, and listen to your inner voice.

The transition from a high-earning career to retirement might hide a major—and expensive—cliff. When it comes to managing your health insurance after you stop practicing, it can seem like there are a million moving pieces, and the rules of the game just changed for 2026. While the open market offers flexibility, it also introduces a sharp cutoff for financial help: if your income is just one dollar over the limit, you could lose your entire tax credit, costing your family $18,000 a year. In this episode, Nate Reineke and Chelsea Jones break down how these health insurance subsidies work, what actually counts as income toward that "cliff," and how doctors like you can strategically structure your portfolio to secure massive savings on your monthly bills without sacrificing your lifestyle. We also play another round of “ Asking for a Friend,” and we answer your colleagues' questions. A Vascular Surgeon in Connecticut asks, “We currently have another $60k of extra money. We will need most of it for maintenance and upgrades on our home in the next 2-3 years, but don't need it immediately. With the market the way it is, should we put 60,000 as a lump sum into our taxable account?” An Anesthesiologist in New York says, “I just surrendered my WL insurance policy, and while I am glad you were able to finally help me break free from the high monthly premiums, now I need to know what to do with the cash I recently got out of the policy. What should I do with the money?” Are you ready to turn worries about taxes and investing into a plan for college and retirement?

If you have a tax-inefficient portfolio, it can be like swimming with a giant t-shirt on. You can do it, but there is a lot of unnecessary drag. Nate Reineke and Kyle Hoelzle break down what tax drag in a portfolio means and how physicians like you can reduce it. We also discuss what kind of funds cause the most drag and a better alternative to replace them with. We also answer your colleagues' questions. An Anesthesiologist in New York says, “I have a whole life policy, and my agent told me it now 'pays for itself. ' Does that mean I should keep it?” Another doc asks, “I am not really looking to change up my portfolio, but can you tell me why I shouldn't be buying things like gold or Bitcoin?” Are you ready to turn worries about taxes and investing into a plan for college and retirement?

You've worked and saved your whole career to have the best retirement possible. Now that you are close to retirement, what actually needs to change? Nate Reineke and Chelsea Jones answer questions from physicians like you, breaking down exactly that. A Gastroenterologist in Washington asks, “As I get closer to retirement, I'm realizing that spending down my investments is very different from building them up. What are the most important things to focus on with retirement right around the corner?” A Neurosurgeon in New York says, “If I am at the top marginal tax bracket now and intend on spending enough in retirement that we keep me at the highest tax bracket then, should I still contribute to a pre-tax 401k?” An Anesthesiologist in California wonders, “When should I take Social Security? I have always assumed age 70, but are there benefits of taking it earlier?” A Dermatologist in Texas asks, “What if we put most of our money in stocks but just keep a few years of cash on the side so we don't have to sell when the market is down? Does that actually make things safer?” Are you ready to turn worries about taxes and investing into all the money you need for college and retirement? It's time to make a plan and get on track.

The holiday season brings many fun traditions, like going to see the lights, opening Advent calendars, baking, or shopping for the perfect gift. Since the holidays also signal the end of the year, it can be a time to think about taxes, too. Nate Reineke and Chelsea Jones break down some of the tax breaks doctors like you can try to catch at the last second, like maxing out contributions. We also look at some tax breaks that take a bit more planning, like charitable donations, that you could plan for in 2026. We also answer your colleagues' questions. An Anesthesiologist in Iowa says, “I want to help my son with a home purchase - what is the best way for me to do this?” An Oncologist in Colorado asks, “Do you think a really early retirement is worth pursuing?” A Family Medicine Doc in Texas says, “I've heard about this opportunity from a few colleagues to buy into this cash flow business (storage units). The projected return seems really appealing (20-30% over 3 years). What do you think?” Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Are you ready to turn worries about taxes and investing into all the money you need for college and retirement? It's time to make a plan and get on track.

if you have any feedback, please send us a text! Thank you!Welcome to another episode of the CSA's Podcast Vital Times In September 2025, a landmark ruling by a California judge stated that nonphysicians could not use the term “Doctor” in a clinical setting. This was a ruling in response to a lawsuit filed by Three California-based nurse practitioners. They challenged California Business and Professions Code Section 2052, which makes it a misdemeanor for nonphysicians to use “Dr” in clinical settings or advertisements.Judge Jesus G. Bernal wrote in the opinion that using the title “Dr.” by nonphysicians in clinical contexts is “inherently misleading” and amounts to regulated commercial speech. Because of that, it does not fall under free speech protections.The court sided with the state, which argued that allowing nonphysicians to use “Dr.” could confuse patients about who is providing their care. Bernal cited an American Medical Association (AMA) survey showing: 39% of patients mistakenly believed that DNPs are physicians. He concluded that even when nurses disclose their credentials, the risk of confusion remains high in healthcare settings.To help us understand the importance of both the law and the ruling - 3 amazing patient advocates ae joining the show today.Dr. Rebekah Bernard is a family physician in Fort Myers, Florida.

Anesthesiologist and clinical mental health counselor Maire Daugharty discusses her article "How therapy helps uncover hidden patterns." Maire explains how psychotherapy leverages the brain's pattern-seeking nature to reveal implicit beliefs formed in early life, often outside conscious awareness. She describes how therapy provides a unique relational space for exploring assumptions, processing emotions, and reframing expectations—leading to profound shifts in self-reliance, resilience, and meaning-making. Drawing on depth psychology and Erik Erikson's stages of psychosocial growth, Maire illustrates how uncovering hidden narratives can transform relationships, ease life transitions, and help individuals face aging and mortality with integrity. Listeners will learn how therapy can dismantle limiting beliefs, foster autonomy, and cultivate deeper well-being across the lifespan. Our presenting sponsor is Microsoft Dragon Copilot.

This Week on Dopey! We are joined by Oro Recovery Medical Director - Dr. Jason Giles! We also read old comments and hear from a few dopes in the dopey nation. Then Dave interviews Dr.  Giles—twice board-certified in addiction medicine (via ABAM then ABPM), previously board-certified in anesthesiology and pain medicine, and a recovering opioid addict. He grew up in Santa Monica with a severely alcoholic father, fell into the second-wave ska/mod scene (Vespa, sharkskin suits, amphetamines), dropped out of high school, then clawed his way through community college to Berkeley, volunteering at the Berkeley Free Clinic and falling in love with medicine.He explains anesthesia's demands (no pain, no memory; muscle relaxants; airway control), the human connection of pediatric anesthesia, and the hope-work of pain management. In 1999, curiosity and stress led him to divert fentanyl: he edited paper records, carried a 2 mL syringe for a month, then IV-used with sterile technique. After a six-week gap he used again, convincing himself he could “handle it.” Use escalated to daily “after work,” leaving him in daytime withdrawal. The department chair paged him about missing fentanyl; instead of punishment, he offered help and a path into California's 5-year diversion program (treatment, meetings, testing). Giles detoxed cold turkey, went to AA (first meeting mostly doctors), found he wasn't unique, and built long-term sobriety (nearly 26 years by his telling), learning service and vulnerability through treatment feedback groups.With sobriety he finished residency, married, had a son, worked in cardiac anesthesia and pain, and then moved into addiction treatment (Malibu), where his science and lived experience met the work. He and Dave range widely: purpose/mission as a recovery engine; Bill W., boomerangs and ants; truth-serum myths; Halsted (cocaine→heroin), Freud letters, Hitler's amphetamines/opioids (book Blitzed), kratom (mixed withdrawal profiles), benzos vs. opiates (benzo withdrawal = fear), intraoperative awareness & memory, Suboxone vs. abstinence (cast/training-wheels framing), fentanyl's dominance (counterfeit pills; heroin now rare), and whether fentanyl appears in non-opioid street drugs (he says he's seen it).

Otto E. Stallworth, Jr, MD, MBA, an anesthesiologist and then a cosmetic surgeon, was born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama during the 1940s, fifties and sixties. He crossed the Alabama state line for the first time at sixteen to attend college and was the first college graduate in his family. This was followed by a medical degree at 24 and later an MBA outside of medicine. He has had several businesses, including Oh Yes! Management and Hollywood Fries Restaurant. In 2022, he began the Stallworth Oh Yes! Foundation, which has awarded four-year full scholarships to students at Howard University and Meharry Medical College in Nashville, Tennessee, his alma maters. He published his memoir in 2023. Look soon for his first murder mystery. "When I got into med school, it was even better than anything I could imagine. Every day was a new adventure because you learn about all these different diseases and study the human body. Studying all of this was very intriguing. As a child I just wanted to have this skill to be able to help people. You see someone that is sick and think about if you could cure them or help them get cured or give them the right advice–that seemed like an amazing and very powerful thing."

Anesthesiologist and clinical mental health counselor Maire Daugharty discusses her article, "Why peer support can save lives in high-pressure medical careers." Drawing from her personal experience of losing three colleagues to suicide and overdose, Maire makes a powerful case for peer support as a direct antidote to the isolation that plagues the medical profession. She explains how the culture of medicine, with its relentless pursuit of perfection, leaves physicians vulnerable to despair when they inevitably face human fallibility. The conversation explores how structured peer support creates a space for authentic connection, validating shared struggles and mitigating the self-recrimination that can follow adverse outcomes. Maire also clarifies that while peer support is a lifeline, it is also a crucial tool for identifying colleagues who need deeper professional help, and for normalizing that next step. Her core message is an urgent call for medical environments to integrate protected peer support programs as an essential, proactive strategy to save lives.
