Episode 307 hosts Hayley Anderson (Registered Nurse from Perth, Australia) This is the 4th chapter in our mini-series called ‘Disasters & Solutions'. Here we look at some of the unusual, difficult or outright disasterous outcomes for patients caused by injectables. We speak to the injectors who managed the case and go through what happened, step by step. We'll learn about what might have been done to prevent the problem and what injectors can do in their own practice to be safer practitioners.     In Chapter 4, we discuss Hayley's experience (on the other side of the needle as a patient) when she had a temple treatment with a hybrid blend of Radiesse, Belotero Revive and saline.

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITReady for a beach vacation this summer? You might want to check the water quality reports first! We're diving into a truly stomach-turning study that found over 60% of US beaches tested in 2024 had unsafe levels of fecal bacteria contamination on at least one day. The Gulf Coast topped the contamination charts with a whopping 84% of beaches flagged for pollution, while Alaska and Hawaii remained relatively pristine with just 10% testing unsafe. Beyond the gross factor, this raises serious health concerns for beachgoers across the country.Coffee lovers, we've got news that might have you reconsidering your morning brew choices. A fascinating new study published in the journal Food Science and Nutrition found that instant coffee drinkers with certain genetic predispositions face a shocking 700% increased risk of developing age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of blindness. The research analyzed data from over 500,000 participants in the UK Biobank, suggesting shared biological pathways between instant coffee consumption and this incurable eye condition.We also weigh in on a viral fitness competition controversy that's dividing the internet. During Sydney's High Rocks event, a competitor continued his workout while paramedics treated his unconscious girlfriend nearby. Some witnesses condemned his actions as callous, while others claimed he periodically checked on her between exercises. The incident raises interesting questions about relationship priorities, competitive drive, and what we owe our partners in moments of crisis. We wrap up with a thought-provoking Bible question about the most important woman in scripture. Is it Mary, mother of Jesus, or perhaps Esther?

Norwegian hornist Frøydis Wekre has had a remarkable and influential career as both performer and teacher. She joined the Oslo Philharmonic at the age of 20, at a time when there were only two women in the orchestra, and went on to establish herself as a highly respected chamber musician, soloist, and educator. For many years, she served as a professor at the Norwegian Academy of Music, and her reach has extended far beyond Norway through the countless masterclasses she's given around the world. Widely regarded as one of the leading brass pedagogues of her generation, Frøydis has inspired students and professionals alike with her wisdom, insight, and artistry.In Part 1 of our conversation, we begin by discussing a metaphor from her book Collected Writings, in which she compares two types of teachers to a family doctor and a specialist—one who works with a student long-term, and another who is brought in to address a specific need. It's a concept that resonates deeply in the teaching world, and Frøydis shares how it has shaped her own approach to working with students. We also talk about her experience playing natural horn and explore the different national and cultural styles of horn playing that she has encountered throughout her career. The first part concludes with reflections on her studies with several legendary figures in the brass world: Vitali Bujanovsky, Wilhelm Lanzky-Otto, and James Stamp.[Subscriber Content] In Part 2, Froydis shares her perspective on international competitions, including thoughts on fairness and how such events might be improved. This leads into a broader conversation about women in music and how the landscape has changed—and in some ways, still needs to change—over the course of her career. We wrap up with a few light, miscellaneous questions, giving Frøydis the chance to reflect on her life and work with both humor and depth.It was a privilege to speak with someone who has not only shaped the horn world but continues to influence generations of musicians through her teaching, writing, and example.DoricoProfessional music notation and composition software from Steinberg.
