"What happens when one of Breaking Bad's most unhinged villains gets arrested for… spraying someone with a garden hose?"In this wild and unpredictable episode of The Ben and Skin Show, hosts Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray dive into two juicy Breaking Bad stories that are equal parts hilarious and head-scratching. First up: Raymond Cruz, the actor behind the infamous Tuco Salamanca, finds himself in real-life trouble after allegedly blasting his neighbor's daughter with a garden hose. Was it an accident, or did Tuco go full Tuco?Then, the crew shifts gears to a fascinating behind-the-scenes revelation from Bob Odenkirk, who shares how he landed the role of Saul Goodman—without even auditioning. From sketch comedy roots to dramatic stardom, Odenkirk's journey is a testament to timing, talent, and the power of a good writers' room.

Breaking bad news is challenging; stress makes it harder. This research shows the value of stress arousal training and worked examples for helping to teach essential verbal and nonverbal communication skills.  Read the accompanying article here: https://asmepublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/medu.15658  

In Part 3 of The Dying Patient: Palliative and End of Life Care, we delve into the complexities ambulance clinicians face when supporting patients in their final days and hours. Often the first to recognise when someone is dying, paramedics work within a system where community engagement may be limited, making their role crucial in identifying signs such as terminal agitation, unconsciousness, and other common symptoms. The episode discusses the importance of anticipatory medications and proactive advance care planning , especially in situations involving carer breakdown or when patients change their minds about where they wish to die.We explore why ambulance services are frequently called during end-of-life stages, whether due to uncontrolled symptoms, sudden deterioration, or emotional distress within families. Paramedics not only offer symptom relief, both pharmacological and non-pharmacological, but also provide vital emotional support to those navigating grief, denial, or fear. Challenges include differentiating between reversible conditions and active dying, managing care when anticipatory medications are unavailable, and coordinating with wider healthcare teams.Breaking bad news is another critical area discussed, with a focus on using frameworks such as Ask-Tell-Ask and adapting communication to the emotional needs of the moment. Lastly, the episode reflects on cultural considerations in a city as diverse as London. From language barriers and different expressions of grief to religious rituals and care after death, ambulance clinicians must remain adaptable and compassionate, ensuring that care is respectful, inclusive, and sensitive to the needs of every individual and their family.

Send us a textBehind every crisis response lies hidden patterns that determine success or failure. In this illuminating conversation, crisis communications expert Jeff Hahn pulls back the curtain on these patterns, sharing insights from his book "Breaking Bad News" and his decades of experience in the trenches of corporate crises.Drawing from his 15 years at Motorola handling everything from hazardous material spills to workplace violence, Hahn reveals how his fascination with crisis communications evolved into a seven-year journey to decode the science behind breaking bad news effectively. His research is remarkably precise – analyzing 505 NPR interviews to identify exactly six question types journalists ask in a predictable sequence, and categorizing precisely 16 message types organizations can deploy during a crisis.At the heart of Hahn's approach is his "3M Model" – Message, Messenger, and Method. This framework challenges conventional wisdom, particularly around who should speak during a crisis. While many organizations instinctively push their CEO forward, Hahn argues this often backfires, citing BP's Tony Hayward's infamous "I'd like my life back" comment as a cautionary tale. Instead, he advocates for strategic messenger selection and careful war room composition, where lawyers provide counsel but don't dominate the response strategy.You can reach Jeff Hahn at jeff.hahn@hahn.agency.Reach Marc Mullen at marcmullenccc@gmail.comReach Tom Mueller at tom@leadinginacrisis.com.We'd love to hear from you.

Welcome to The Peds NP Acute Care Faculty series! This collaborative series was created and peer-reviewed by national experts and leaders in acute care PNP education to meet the needs of our current and future colleagues. In the push for competency-based education where faculty verify the skills of what a student can do, rather than their knowledge, our series focuses on the application of didactic content with a practical approach so that you can learn nuances of clinical skills before you reach the bedside.    This episode applies the concepts from the prior episode on “Delivering Bad News” (S11 Ep. 71) to a few examples where HIV status was disclosed to a pediatric patient. After reflection and discussion of a few ethical principles important to consent/assent, it's time to practice delivering bad news in a case study. An unfolding case poses questions to get you thinking about what you might say. Make it interactive by pausing your podcast and answer the question yourself. The case walks you step-by-step through the process of delivering bad news to a child and their family using the SPIKES protocol. There's no perfect answer, but this example helps to prepare you for competency-based learning, so that you're ready to deliver bad news in practice.   Authors (alphabetical): Becky Carson, DNP, APRN, CPNP-PC/AC, Ann Felauer, DNP, APRN, CPNP-PC/AC, Belinda Large, DNP, APRN, CPNP-PC/AC, and Robynn Stamm, DNP, APRN, CPNP-PC/AC   References Brouwer, M.

“I think the key in effective communication is building trust, because without trust, patients are not likely to engage in their care as effectively, which can influence patient well-being and their overall health outcomes. Building trust is, I think, crucial,” Deb Christensen, MSN, APRN, AGCNS-BC, AOCNS, founder and chief patient officer at the Cancer Help Desk, a nonprofit that provides personalized cancer treatment resources, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a discussion about strategies oncology nurses can use when approaching difficult conversations with patients across all populations.   You can earn free NCPD contact hours after listening to this episode and completing the evaluation linked below.   Music Credit: “Fireflies and Stardust” by Kevin MacLeod  Licensed under Creative Commons by Attribution 3.0  Earn 0.75 contact hours of nursing continuing professional development (NCPD), which may be applied to the oncology nursing practice ILNA category, by listening to the full recording and completing an evaluation at myoutcomes.ons.org by November 24, 2025.

It's not easy to establish a trusting relationship when you first meet someone. But what I found in my practice is that anticipating their needs and really listening to their story has made a world of difference in establishing that trusting relationship—and admitting if I don't know the answer to something or if perhaps I've gotten something wrong.” TS 2:32  “Intellectual empathy asks you to imagine yourself in that person's place. And we've all had challenging experiences; we just don't get through life without them. And as a result, we can generally think of a time when we might have been in a similar situation, maybe not exactly the same, but a similar situation, and garner that empathy for the patient and, importantly, for the caregiver, too. Because we genuinely, genuinely want to understand somebody. Intellectual empathy really comes from listening carefully to what's being said and what's not being said, analyzing different people's perspective, knowing your own bias, and asking open-ended questions.” TS 4:41  “I think that the first thing that an oncology nurse needs to do is recognize that patients have their own autonomy to make their own decisions and not go into a conversation expecting a specific outcome. So going in with the intention to do your best, but also be open to what the patient wants to do.” TS 8:30  “Our biggest foe in all of this communication, these communication strategies, really is time. We just do not have the amount of time. I mean, we love the luxury of time to be able to sit and really get into these kind of deeper conversations with people, but we may only have 30 minutes. We may only have 15. So, how do we do that? That is still a question that's out there that there's a lot of investigating. Are there techniques that can help? And there are.” TS 13:47  “All of these points in the continuum have one thing in common, and that's uncertainty. That's really a whirlpool—uncertainty—for people. One of the communication strategies that I've used with people is letting them know that this is a very common emotion to experience—a sense of loss of control, uncertainty—and that in my experience, that people generally, once they have a plan, the anxiety settles. So, giving them kind of a guidepost, hope in the future, that the anxiety will settle. Because I would say 98% of the time it does, once people gain a sense of control, because they have a plan of action to move forward.” TS 16:10  “The setting is really, really important, especially when you're having these challenging conversations. Always checking for understanding: What is that perception? What is the patient perceiving? What is the caregiver family perceiving? Are they understanding you correctly? And being respectful of what people want to know, because sometimes they don't want to know specific things.” TS 21:57  “Oncology nurses need to be aware of their own biases and their own emotional state when they're going into these emotional conversations, these difficult conversations they really need to be in. You might not always be the right one for the conversation. I think that's an important thing to note too, and be able to admit that you may have had a personal life experience that just is not going to allow you to get around a bias or an emotional reaction to the conversation, and so you might not be the right one.” TS 23:11  “I've always felt like if you can help someone find joy and peace in the moment, then that moment was made better. Life is a series of moments. That's kind of how I get through that piece of it.” TS 26:20
