Dr. Joyce Mikal-Flynn survived a death event requiring 22 minutes of CPR to come back to life. Dr. Mikal-Flynn, an expert in resilience and trauma care, researches and uses her unique system of recovery, Metahabillitation, to guide survivors toward posttraumatic growth (PTG).Author of multiple publications including Turning Tragedy Into Triumph, reveals how individuals and communities uniquely use traumas and challenges to move beyond survival and overtime, utilize these experiences for growth. Dr. Mikal-Flynn continues to research, lecture and apply Metahabilitation in a variety of recovery and rehabilitation settings in Canada, Italy, the UK and the US to help survivors, including veterans, first responders, individuals dealing with addiction and dependency, cancer patients, caregivers and clinicians, experience PTG.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/uncle-joshs-true-scary-stories--1977911/support.
La Procura di Ravenna sta indagando su presunti certificati medici falsi ad opera di camici bianchi, perquisiti, per evitare che migranti irregolari fossero trasferiti nei Cpr. Ne parliamo con l'avvocato Fabio Anselmo, legale di alcuni dei medici interessati dall'inchiesta. Torniamo poi sul tema dell'over-tourism perché il presidente del Cai Veneto, nostro ospite, ha lanciato un allarme sullo stress in capo ai rifugisti per le troppe presenze in alta quota di turisti durante l'estate.
This episode is part of our comprehensive Decipher the Guidelines Series covering the 2025 ACC/AHA/ACEP/NAEMSP/SCAI Guideline for the Management of Patients With Acute Coronary Syndromes. The following question refers to Section 3.2 of the 2025 ACS Guidelines. The question is asked by Thomas Jefferson medical student and CardioNerds Academy Intern Dr. Grace Qiu, answered first by Cleveland Clinic interventional and structural cardiology fellow and member of the CardioNerds Interventional Cardiology Council Dr. Eunice Dugan, and then by expert faculty Dr. Binita Shah. Dr. Binita Shah is an associate professor of medicine, interventional cardiologist, Director for research in Interventional Cardiology, and Director of the Department of Medicine Clinical Investigator Track at NYU. She is also an associate director of interventional cardiology and director of the transcatheter valve program at the VA New York Harbor Healthcare System. She was a member of the 2025 ACS Guidelines writing committee. Question #3 A 55-year-old woman is brought to the Emergency Department after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. She had a witnessed collapse with an initial shockable rhythm. Return of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC) was achieved after 15 minutes of Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS). Her post-resuscitation ECG shows diffuse ST-segment depression but no ST-segment elevation. She remains comatose. Which of the following is the most appropriate next step in her management regarding coronary angiography? A Immediate emergency coronary angiography (within 2 hours) should be performed. B Routine emergency coronary angiography is not recommended in the absence of ST-segment elevation or hemodynamic instability. C Coronary angiography should be delayed for at least 72 hours to allow for neurological recovery. D Fibrinolytic therapy should be administered immediately if the patient cannot reach a cath lab within 90 minutes. Answer #3 Explanation The correct answer is B. In resuscitated patients who are comatose after cardiac arrest, electrically and hemodynamically stable, and without evidence of STEMI, immediate angiography is not recommended due to lack of benefit (Class 3: No Benefit; LOE A) Patients who have been resuscitated after cardiac arrest and are noncomatose or who are comatose with favorable prognostic features and with evidence of STEMI, should undergo PPCI to improve survival. (Class 1; LOE B-NR). For patients such as this one, a delayed or selective approach should be taken once the patient is stabilized. Early angiography should not be denied solely based on a comatose state, but it should be deferred if there are clear non-cardiac causes for the arrest or if the patient’s overall prognosis is futile. A is incorrect because recent evidence shows no benefit to “emergency” PPCI for stable patients without ST-elevation. C is incorrect because while we wait for stability, we don’t necessarily have a fixed 72-hour “mandatory” delay for the heart if ischemia is suspected. D is incorrect, as fibrinolysis is generally not indicated for post-arrest patients without clear STEMI and carries risks in a post-CPR setting due to potential trauma. The MIRACLE2 Score is a tool for neuroprognostication. It helps clinicians estimate the likelihood of a poor neurological outcome at 6 months. A high score suggests that the benefit of an invasive procedure may be outweighed by the severity of the brain injury. Components of MIRACLE2: M – Missed (unwitnessed) arrest I – Initial non-shockable rhythm R – Reactive pupils at ROSC A – Age (points increase significantly at >60 and >80) C – Rhythm change (e.g., VF to PEA) L – Low pH (pH < 7.20) E – Epinephrine (any dose given) Clinical Threshold: A score of >5 indicates a high risk of poor neurological recovery, which may lead a Heart Team to favor stabilization over immediate emergency angiography in patients without ST-elevation. Early recognition of STEMI in resuscitated patients and direct transfer to a PCI-capable center is associated with improved survival. Survival-to-hospital discharge in the patient who is comatose with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is
When I first started looking into the death of two-year-old Barrett Walsh, one detail immediately stood out to me: his mother, Corie Walsh, had reportedly been closely following the Lindsay Clancy trial and discussing it with friends just hours before Barrett was found.The similarities between the two cases are difficult to ignore. Both involve mothers accused of killing young children inside their family homes, suicide attempts, ligatures, and defenses centered around severe mental illness or psychosis. But similarities aren't evidence, and they certainly don't prove that one case inspired another.In this episode of Pushing Up Lilies, I want to slow the story down and look beyond that headline.Barrett, whose nickname was Bear, was found in the basement of his Illinois home with a ligature around his neck. A neighbor lowered him, began CPR, and called 911. Corie was found elsewhere in the home with injuries believed to be self-inflicted. Prosecutors have since charged her with three counts of first-degree murder, while her attorneys say she was experiencing a psychotic episode.From a death investigator's perspective, though, those facts are only the beginning.I'm taking you through how I would approach a scene like this: documenting Barrett's original position before lifesaving efforts changed the scene, examining the ligature and suspension point, preserving digital evidence, reconstructing the timeline, documenting medications and other evidence inside the home, and separating what witnesses actually observed from what they interpreted.Content Note: This episode discusses the death of a child, ligature asphyxia, self-harm, alleged homicide, suicide, and severe mental illness.

Purplish hit the road for a 1,600-mile-plus trip around the state, from Lamar to Greeley and Grand Junction, to rural areas and city centers. Voters shared what they're worried about and what's motivating them to head to the polls this November with especially high stakes because control of Congress hangs in the balance.CPR's Bente Birkeland and Caitlyn Kim hear from voters in the most competitive, or arguably competitive in some cases, congressional districts in the state. They also discuss the Republican and Democratic candidates vying for those votes, and where there's the greatest chance of a potential upset. Catch up on our latest coverage: Can a Democrat flip the state's reddest seat? Eileen Laubacher is trying Rep. Jeff Crank's resolution condemning socialism passes House Beef tariffs are on pause for 90 days. How will that affect Colorado agriculture? Can independent candidates gain traction?

Patrick Yalon's story is one of the wildest comeback stories we've had on Run the Riot. In July 2024, Patrick went surfing at Ocean Beach in San Francisco. A freak accident drove his head into a sandbar, leaving him face-down in the water and completely unable to move. His friend John eventually found him, pulled him from the water, and began CPR. Patrick survived, but the road ahead looked completely different. His legs weren't moving. He underwent a major spinal fusion surgery, spent weeks in rehabilitation, and was told that walking again would take a tremendous amount of work. But Patrick had something sitting in the back of his mind: The Moab 240. It became what he calls his “North Star.” His mantra became: “If I can stand, I can start.” Incredibly, just months after the accident, Patrick showed up at the starting line of Moab 240. Still recovering, still dealing with pain, and nowhere near fully rebuilt physically, he made it 144 miles before finally deciding that continuing could cause serious damage. For most people, that would have been more than enough. For Patrick, there was still unfinished business. He returned the following year—15 months to the day after his accident—and faced brutal rain, mud, lightning, damaged feet, exhaustion, and everything else a 240-mile race can throw at you. This time, he finished. And there was an incredible full-circle moment waiting for him: John—the same friend who had pulled Patrick from the water and helped save his life—joined him for the final 40 miles to the finish. In this conversation, Patrick and I talk about much more than ultrarunning. We talk about gratitude, faith, resilience, recovery, purpose, suffering, and what happens when life forces you to discover what you're actually made of. Patrick also shares the book he has written about his experience, his continued recovery, and why he now thinks of the years since his accident as his “second life.” In this episode: How Patrick went from rugby and surfing to ultrarunning Why he jumped from shorter ultras straight toward Moab 240 The surfing accident that nearly took his life Realizing he was paralyzed while face-down in the ocean The friend who found him and performed CPR Spinal fusion surgery and learning to move again The tiny movement of his big toe that changed his mindset Why “If I can stand, I can start” became his mantra Showing up for Moab only months after his accident Making it 144 miles during that first attempt Why he knew he needed to go back Rebuilding himself physically and mentally in Thailand Returning to Moab 15 months after the accident Surviving brutal storms, rain, mud, and lightning The emotional moment when he yelled, “I'm still here” Finishing the final 40 miles with the man who saved his life Gratitude as a tool for getting through suffering His upcoming Tahoe 200 The book he has written about his story What it means to make the most of a “second life” Follow Patrick Instagram: @bodiezepha415 You can also find Patrick Yalon on Facebook and LinkedIn.

Debbie shares a personal story and a call for prayers.Life can turn in an instant, and in this heartfelt family update, Debbie Ozment shares a harrowing experience that tested her faith and resilience. A Flight to RememberJust three days ago, Debbie and her husband Mike were rushing to a conference in Atlanta, a scenario many can relate to. Running late for a 5 AM flight, they encountered a significant delay at TSA. Mike's worry about their tardiness was met with Debbie's calm assurance: "I feel like God has a plan."Little did they know, this would be a day they would never forget.A Moment of CrisisAfter finally getting through security, Debbie ran to catch up with Mike, only to find paramedics surrounding him, performing CPR. "They stopped me and they said, Do you have an advanced directive? He has no pulse. We've been doing CPR for eight minutes."In that moment of panic, Debbie cried out to God, begging for Mike's life. Miraculously, the paramedics revived him, and amidst the chaos, a woman in a white shirt appeared, offering comforting words:"He's going to be all right."Debbie later reflected on this encounter, believing it was a divine intervention to give her peace during the crisis.The Road to RecoveryNow, as Mike prepares for triple bypass surgery, Debbie emphasizes the importance of maintaining health, even when unexpected challenges arise. She shared that despite Mike's overall good health and active lifestyle, genetics played a significant role in this event. "The doctors were amazed that here's a 68-year-old man who takes no medications... but that doesn't always prevent a problem."As they navigate this difficult time, Debbie requests prayers for Mike's recovery and the family as they face the future together.A Call for CommunityDebbie's message resonates with anyone who values health and community support. She invites listeners to continue strengthening their bodies and spirits so they can handle life's surprises. "I thank God for the mercy he bestowed on us... We live authentic health with heaven in mind."As she pauses the podcast to focus on Mike's recovery, Debbie expresses her gratitude to the listeners who share in their journey. In her closing thoughts, Debbie asks for encouragement and shares her desire to help others live out their God-given calling with vitality. "It is from our heart. We want to show people body, soul, and spirit vitality." As they move forward, Debbie holds onto hope, knowing that every moment counts. Let us all keep Debbie and Mike in our thoughts and prayers, and remember the importance of community in our lives. ---Debbie invites you to reach out with your thoughts and encouragement via email at debbie@drdebbieozment.com.

JEMS Development Editor Mike Brown speaks with Aaron Weedman, PhD, technical lead for machine learning in emergency medicine at the University of Pittsburgh, and Dr. Lenny Weiss, EMS physician and medical director for air and ground services. They discuss how natural language processing can analyze prehospital free-text data, such as chief complaints and 911 call notes, to predict the need for critical interventions like airway management, hemorrhage control, blood transfusions, and CPR. The technology may also help determine whether patients need ALS or BLS resources. Using data (about 10 million chief complaints) and 20,000 to 25,000 911 calls, the researchers found the models performed well and closely matched existing dispatch protocols. The goal is to improve dispatch accuracy, mobilize resources faster, and reduce cognitive workload for busy EMS crews.
August prepayments strengthened the view that the 2026 refinance wave has peaked, with Fannie 30-year speeds falling 12 percent to 7.1 CPR and Ginnie II also slowing, leaving subdued near-term runoff and greater extension risk, while higher-coupon VA pools and recent Ginnie vintages remain the key latent prepayment risks if mortgage rates decline materially. Robbie interviews Agile's Greg Vacura on connecting mortgage lenders and broker-dealers to make MBS trading faster, more efficient, transparent, and less reliant on phone-based processes. And rates remain caught between an oversold Treasury market and persistent inflation, fiscal, supply, and geopolitical pressures, with the selloff pushing the 30-year above 5.30 percent and MBS underperforming even after a strong 30-year auction, while rising oil, firm economic data, and a heavy corporate calendar keep the focus squarely on CPI and the Fed's upcoming decision.

A business partnership is often the first deal an entrepreneur ever does, long before any M&A or capital raise. In this solocast, Corey Kupfer steps back from the usual deal categories to talk about what it actually takes to be in a partnership, drawing on his own partnerships across multiple businesses and decades of helping clients form, evolve, and separate theirs. Corey Kupfer is an attorney, dealmaker, and negotiator with more than 35 years of experience. Beyond drafting the documents for new partnerships, he has guided partners through evolution, buyouts, and separations, and he serves as a mediator for partners working to part ways well. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: This episode covers the due diligence founders most often skip, how partnerships fall out of alignment over time, what a partnership agreement can and cannot protect, why no employee ever matches an owner's commitment, and how to separate through a negotiated exit rather than a costly fight. COREY'S PARTNERSHIP JOURNEY: Corey has been in several partnerships over the years, starting with a law firm partnership formed in the 1990s that ended over economic differences and a different view of perceived value, then reconnected warmly with those partners decades later. He also built a real estate investment partnership with his partner Dan that stayed strong through the great recession because of aligned values and superb communication. His last partnership ran from 2010 to 2015 and ended in a difficult split over vision, values, and culture. Even so, that chapter deepened his work in the RIA space and introduced him to clients and colleagues he values to this day, a reminder that even partnerships that end can create lasting good. KEY INSIGHTS: The personal and cultural due diligence matters most and gets skipped most. Even when you already know someone well, you still need an honest conversation about this specific venture, your shared vision and values, and your goals and timelines. Partnerships evolve because the business, the people, and the market all change. Following where clients and the market lead is usually smart, but that evolution can pull one partner into alignment with a new direction while leaving the other behind, even when they started out aligned. The agreement is a roadmap, not a guarantee. An operating agreement or shareholders agreement can set the methodology for a split or buyout, but whether partners actually stay together comes down to trust, respect, communication, and a willingness to evolve. Litigation is rarely the best way to separate. The damage to the business, clients, and employee retention often means everybody loses, and the opportunity cost of the distraction is something people almost never calculate. A partnership is one deal type among many. Go in eyes wide open, get as clear an agreement as possible upfront when you cannot yet know who it will affect, and keep checking whether the partnership stays in alignment and integrity for you. Perfect for entrepreneurs weighing a partnership, founders navigating a separation, and anyone who wants to structure the deal before there is anything to fight about.

CPR mannequins, medical implants and surgical tools. These are life changing and lifesaving medical devices. But when they are built around male bodies, what does that mean for everyone else?Through expert insight, Dr Ella Hubber and journalist Candice Bailey uncover how gaps in research can lead to higher complication rates in women, why the “one-size-fits-all” design method falls short, and how even the operating theatre can fail women. As awareness grows, they also ask what change can look like and whether the tools used in healthcare can finally serve every body.[EH1.1]Presenter/producer: Ella Hubber Researcher: Elliott Prince Editor: Ilan Goodman

A fatal overdose. A boyfriend with a rap sheet. And a 911 call that sounds wrong from the very first seconds. If you care about true crime cases where the story keeps changing, this Shelby Perkins episode will pull you in fast.Sam and Briana unpack the heartbreaking case of Shelby Perkins, a young woman from Wisconsin whose death led investigators into a web of heroin use, shifting timelines, and a boyfriend named Mitch whose version of events keeps collapsing under pressure. The conversation gets even more powerful because Shelby's sister Audrey reached out personally to have her story told, and her perspective shapes the entire episode.Sam and Briana don't just walk through the evidence—they challenge the details in real time, question the inconsistencies, and call out the moments that feel impossible to ignore. Along the way, they also break down the dangers of addiction, the signs of a manipulated story, and why proper CPR knowledge can matter in the worst possible moment.This is a devastating, detail-heavy case for listeners who want more than a surface-level recap. If you want a true crime episode with real emotional weight, a personal family connection, and a case that keeps getting more disturbing the deeper it goes, this one belongs in your queue.
Rep. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has not been seen in public for 80+ days. The last real update from his office is almost a month old. He has missed 60 Senate votes — Iran war powers, housing, even the confirmation of a new attorney general — while Republicans hang onto a thin majority where every vote is supposed to matter. Pat starts with the question everybody is already asking: Where is Mitch? The Kentucky senator, 84, was rushed to the hospital on June 14. Dispatch audio said first responders treated someone in cardiac arrest and used CPR. Weeks later, his team said it was a fall, that he was briefly unconscious, that it was not a heart attack or a stroke, and that he had mild pneumonia. He left a rehab center on August 6. Since then: two old, smiling photos with Elaine Chao, staffers reading statements at Kentucky events he used to attend, security outside the D.C. townhouse, and no video, no call-in, no proof of life that would settle this. His office is not answering when he comes back on September 14. Pat also covered: Clancy jury is back for day six after two deadlock votes — one more and it may be a mistrial Miley Cyrus dropped the last name.

Send us Fan MailYou can love sports and still admit this: the culture can be brutal on mental health. I sit down with Sky Arthur-Banning to talk about why sport is one of the best places to spot distress early, reduce stigma, and build real support networks for athletes, coaches, parents, and officials. We also name the stakes, including suicide prevention, the reality that many people suffer in silence, and why knowing resources like the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline matters.Sky breaks down the mission behind the U.S. Center for Mental Health and Sport and how it grew from work with veterans and adaptive sport communities. The big idea is simple and powerful: people may avoid anything labeled “mental health,” but they will show up for sport, and that is where trust already lives. From there, the Center delivers practical training that fits real schedules and real sidelines, from youth soccer to NCAA programs and pro organizations.We dig into the ACT Certification, a two-hour, sport-specific approach that works like CPR for mental health: you are not becoming a clinician, you are learning how to start the conversation, recognize warning signs, and connect someone to support. We also talk about what this means for referees managing dissent and emotion, why authenticity matters on the field, and what youth sports needs to change if we want safer, healthier environments for everyone.If you care about mental health in sports, referee wellbeing, adaptive soccer, and building better youth sports culture, hit play, share this with someone in your club, and subscribe, rate, and review so more people find the conversation.Support the show
I have two witnesses for you today. The first is a member of the Big Life Mentoring Group. The leader, Pamela Crim, gave us a PDF that helps us write our God story. It is great because every one of us has had God working in our lives and yet we don't know how to talk about it. This PDF gives us a structure to use to get our story written down. Today's first witness talks about how different her life was 15 years ago to 1 week ago. The second witness is from a member of my prayer group. He sent a prayer request from his brother-in-law. I have included the prayer request and the results of our prayers. Let's begin with the first witness. 15 years ago, I committed suicide- I say I succeeded because I was found by a first responder without life but was resuscitated. Too much pain; I just could not go on another day. 13 years ago I watched my daughter be consumed by Heroin and give premature birth to a baby boy who quickly passed. 12 years ago, knowing I would probably lose my daughter to overdose, I turned her life over to God and stopped interfering with his plan for her. I knew my next contact would be from the police telling me they found her body. This is where it gets crazy! 10 years ago I married the first responder who literally helped revive me through CPR on that night I was found lifeless. He is the best man my kids and I could have ever wished for. 9 years ago, my daughter found recovery through jail, but hey, any recovery is amazing. She was left with a confirmed diagnosis of Hepatitis C, multiple times by multiple doctors, that was likely not anything we could ever afford to treat. I was just grateful she was alive. 8 years ago my daughter gave birth to an amazing, beautiful, healthy girl. The pediatric Hepatologist was on site for the birth, knowing they would have to treat baby and mom. Baby and mom were retested, and no signs that Hep C had ever existed. Drs said it was unexplainable. 1 week ago I sat with my daughter, 9 years recovered, with my newest granddaughter on my lap, watching my 8-year-old granddaughter play softball. None of us should have been sitting there. None of us should be alive, but God kept his promise and created beauty from the ashes. I'm blown away by his love for us and treasure every single day! This is no normal story… It's a great story, and it's a God story. Here is the second witness: I received a text message from my friend John. The message said, “Please pray for my brother-in-law, Alex. He climbed on a ladder to wash the second-floor windows, but the ladder moved because of the water and fell to the ground. He broke his arm and fractured his chin. He is at the hospital right now and would really appreciate some prayers. I sent the prayer request out to the whole prayer group. The next day I received this text message back from John. This message is to let you know the good miracle news of the great power of our lord and the power of intercessional prayer. After a few X-rays and all that the doctors did for my brother-in-law, they determined that the chin fracture wasn't there anymore, and he only needs some kind of Braces to fix his bottom teeth. The arm fracture, they said, is minor, and he is gonna be in a sling for a month. It's all black-and-blue bruises in his body, and he's going home tomorrow!!! Yeeeahhh … PRAISE The Lord. Please share this testimony like the holy Bible says. Thank you very much, and I love you guys mucho! Thank you both for sharing your testimony. When we share the amazing things God is doing in our lives, other people may start to see how God is working in theirs. When we hear of God doing miraculous things, it builds our faith. We all need that. We live in a world where you need to see it to believe it. So, the more we can hear about the supernatural happening, the more it builds our trust and faith that it could happen for us. We believe; Lord, help our unbelief! www.findingtruenorthcoaching.comCLICK HERE TO DONATECLICK HERE to sign up for Mentoring CLICK HERE to sign up for Daily "Word from the Lord" emailsCLICK HERE to sign up for my newsletter & receive a free audio training about inviting Jesus into your daily lifeCLICK HERE to buy my book Total Trust in God's Safe Embrace

Relive the magic of outdoor cinema with the White Plains Hospital Screenings Under the Stars series at Kensico Dam Plaza in Valhalla. Nothing quite compared to the simple joy of watching a favorite film under the stars on a warm summer night, blending the enchantment of movies with the peaceful serenity of nature. Families and friends gathered with picnic blankets and plenty of snacks to enjoy these fun, free community evenings. Set against the stunning backdrop of Kensico Dam Plaza, the beloved series provided local residents with the perfect setting to relax, bond with loved ones, and make unforgettable summer memories together.Westchester Talk Radio host Andrew Castellano spoke with Kristen Alouisa, the Executive Director of the American Heart Association. During the interview, they highlighted the strong partnership between White Plains Hospital and the Heart Association, particularly through senior vice president Dawn French, who serves on the organization's board. She explained how easy it is to learn hands-only CPR in as little as 90 seconds, noting the organization's goal to have at least one person trained in CPR in every household by 2030. Additionally, they discussed the importance of managing blood pressure, mitigating stress, getting quality sleep, and adopting healthy lifestyle habits to combat heart disease.
What does peace of mind actually look like when employees call out, clients cancel, cars break down, and plans change without warning? In this episode, we explore why peace of mind does not come from eliminating problems, but from building a business capable of absorbing them without every disruption becoming our personal emergency. We break that work into three major areas: hiring dependable people, creating systems designed for failure, and developing a healthier mindset toward the normal uncertainty of business ownership. We also discuss dependable capacity, single points of failure, team-based care, delegation, and why some unused capacity can actually make a business stronger. Ultimately, we argue that the goal is not to control everything, but to build something resilient enough that we no longer have to. Main topics: Hiring For Dependable Capacity Systems Designed For Failure Building Operational Backup Capacity Separating Incidents From Patterns Letting Go Of Control Main takeaway: "The goal isn't to control everything, the goal is to build something resilient enough that we don't have to." Peace of mind as a business owner does not come from finally reaching a point where employees never call out, clients never cancel, and nothing unexpected happens. That business does not exist. Instead, peace comes from knowing your hiring process brings dependable people onto the team, your systems can absorb disruptions, and your mindset does not interpret every problem as proof that the company is falling apart. Sometimes you will still cover a visit. Sometimes a system will fail. Sometimes a great employee will leave. The difference is that those events no longer have to destabilize the entire business—or you along with it. Build for resilience, not perfect control.

199 At What Point Do We Say Stop? A Brother's Death, CPR Trauma, and Why End-of-Life Wishes Must Be Discussed Early with Gabrielle Elise (Gabby) Jimenez Host Marie Betcher welcomes back hospice and palliative care nurse, end-of-life doula, and The Hospice Heart founder Gabrielle Elise (Gabby) Jimenez to share the story of her brother Ben's death and why earlier end-of-life conversations matter. After years of estrangement, Gabby spent 18 days at Ben's bedside as he was mostly nonresponsive on a ventilator and tube feeds, then briefly woke and repeatedly said "yes" to escalating life-sustaining measures, creating conflict between what Gabby believed he'd want and what he voiced. When Ben suddenly deteriorated, Gabby arrived to find a chaotic CPR code and ultimately told the team to stop, allowing Ben's final minutes to be quieter with his daughter. They discuss how traumatic and violent CPR can be for medically fragile patients, how staff must follow expressed wishes without prior directives, and the importance of advance directives, POLST/MOST forms, and clearly communicated plans so loved ones can confidently honor a person's choices. 00:00 Welcome and Disclaimer 00:29 Meet Host and Guest 02:31 Ben Hospitalized Reunion 04:16 Wakes Up and Choices 07:51 Code Blue Saying Stop 10:38 Aftermath and Regrets 12:22 CPR Trauma Explained 20:08 Advance Planning Tools 26:58 Marie's Brothers Story 32:08 When CPR Helps or Hurts 34:47 Have the Conversation 36:12 Final Takeaways and Goodbye https://www.thehospiceheart.net/ If you want to help, you can donate to help support Hospice Explained at the Buy me a Coffee link https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Hospice Hospice Explained Affiliates & Contact Information Buying from these Affilite links will help support this Podcast.

Ken Berenger has lost everything… twice. And each time, he found a way to rebuild not only his career and finances, but also his understanding of success, purpose, faith, and who he wanted to become. In this deeply personal conversation, Dr. Dan and Ken explore the experiences that shaped Ken's extraordinary resilience. Ken shares how a young singer with a mullet unexpectedly found himself on Wall Street, how financial success became intertwined with his identity and self-worth, and what happened when that success disappeared. Ken also opens up about the profound influence of his father, a hardworking ironworker who taught him lessons about family, contentment, character, and what it really means to be successful. He shares the emotional story of performing CPR on his father and receiving five more years with him before his recent passing. Through financial collapse, divorce, Superstorm Sandy, career reinvention, and the difficult work of rebuilding, Ken developed a simple practice: keep showing up. Prayer, gratitude, physical discipline, humility, and faith became anchors when he couldn't see what was coming next. Dr. Dan and Ken also discuss the danger of tying self-worth to productivity, why receiving help can sometimes be harder than giving it, the importance of having a few people who genuinely want to know how you're doing, and how adversity can eventually become one of life's greatest teachers. Ken's story is a powerful reminder that resilience doesn't mean having all the answers. Sometimes it simply means refusing to quit, staying open to what life is trying to show you, and trusting that your worst moment does not define your life. Your self-worth is bigger than your productivity. Success, income, titles, and accomplishments can disappear. Who you are does not have to disappear with them. Resilience is built by continuing to show up. You don't always need to know how everything will work out. Sometimes the next right step is simply getting through today and doing it again tomorrow. Adversity can become an opportunity for growth. Ken believes some of the greatest gifts in his life came from experiences he never would have chosen for himself. Receiving is part of strength. Allowing someone else to help you can require tremendous humility, but accepting love and support can also transform relationships. Notice the grace in ordinary moments. Growth and self-awareness help us recognize the small moments of beauty, connection, and gratitude that were there all along.

In this episode, I sit down with Matthew Griffin, who spent 21 years serving in the military and law enforcement. During those years, Matt saw things most of us will never see. But one call would stay with him for decades.As a young police officer, Matt responded to the accidental death of two-and-a-half-year-old Benny Jr., the son of a friend. Matt was the first officer on scene and performed CPR, but Benny didn't survive. What followed was years of guilt, nightmares, drinking, and the belief that if he had reacted just seconds sooner, maybe he could have saved him.The trauma didn't stay at work. Slowly, Matt began losing himself, his marriage, his identity, and eventually his desire to keep living.In this episode, we talk about:The call involving two-year-old Benny Jr. that changed Matt's life foreverThe hidden reality of PTSD, trauma, and mental health among police officers and first respondersHow undercover police work consumed Matt's identity and contributed to the breakdown of his marriageThe moments that pushed Matt toward suicide and what ultimately kept him hereWhy simply checking on someone can be more powerful than we realizeThis conversation is about what happens when the people we expect to save everyone else are quietly falling apart themselves.And why sometimes surviving starts with giving life one more hour. One more day.Key Moments:00:00 The Police Call That Changed Everything03:03 Meeting Benny Jr. Days Before the Tragedy10:24 The Guilt That Haunted Him for Years18:02 The Hidden Mental Health Crisis in Policing24:18 When Undercover Police Work Took Over His Life27:31 Losing His Marriage, Home and Identity32:14 Taking Accountability for Who He Became36:04 His Chief Checked on Him, Then Died by Suicide42:04 The Phone Call That Saved Matt's Life48:47 Why Checking In on Someone Could Save a Life53:22 “If Today Is a Good Day to Die, So Is Tomorrow”59:44 The Check-In Every Leader Should Be Doing1:03:29 What Matt Would Say to Someone Considering SuicideConnect with Me:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tyler.hall/Connect with Matt:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/authormatthewgriffin/

Some teachers have reading corners. Some have quiet corners. One brave educator looked at her classroom and decided what these children really needed was a designated fart corner.And that's where today's funny podcast begins.The concept is simple: if a kid needs to let one rip, they walk over to a specific corner of the classroom, handle their business, spray a little air freshener and quietly return to their seat while supposedly “nobody pays attention.”Sure.Because elementary school children are famously discreet and would NEVER keep a running leaderboard of who visited the fart corner the most.The crew immediately identifies several flaws in this educational breakthrough, including the unfortunate student whose desk is closest to ground zero, the acoustical advantages of ripping one near a wall, and the absolute certainty that some confident kid will turn the fart corner into Madison Square Garden. Moon also relives an eighth-grade fart incident involving a plastic chair, Trisha and a level of emotional damage that apparently survived well into adulthood. The lesson? It's not the fart. It's the confidence behind the fart.Then, because apparently science had nothing more urgent to solve, the show dives into a massive flatulence study involving thousands of participants and hundreds of thousands of logged farts. Men versus women. Peak farting hours. Historical fart estimates. And yes, “anal tracking devices,” a phrase we sincerely hope never appears on the company expense report.Rafe even revisits his proposed radio game involving everyone recording their own farts so listeners can guess whose is whose. Management's continued refusal to greenlight this important broadcasting innovation remains baffling.Thankfully, St. Louis Blues broadcaster Chris Kerber joins the show to restore professionalism.That lasts approximately four seconds.Kerber weighs in on fart-corner logistics, airflow, acoustics and the important parental responsibility of teaching your children to laugh at flatulence. Then the conversation shifts to how Chris managed to get himself kicked out of a University of Louisville parents Facebook group.His crime?Suggesting that a college student who wanted to know whether anyone downstairs was watching a football game could perhaps… walk downstairs and find out.Apparently this was too radical for the safe space.That launches a full discussion about helicopter parenting, college move-in season and parents asking Facebook whether their 18-year-old should wear a robe or a towel back from the dorm shower. Chris and Moon agree on a revolutionary parenting strategy: sometimes your adult child can figure stuff out.Rizz is preparing to take his 16-year-old to tour the University of Arkansas, so Kerber offers actual useful advice among the chaos: check out the dorms, investigate the dining options and pay attention to whether the campus simply feels right.The hockey talk continues with the newly unveiled St. Louis Blues promotional calendar, including the upcoming Rizz Show Night jacket, which might legitimately be one of the best giveaways the show has done. Kerber breaks down the limited nature of theme-night tickets, the upcoming shortened NHL preseason and the excitement building around the new season.Then listener emails take this funny podcast somewhere completely different.A former escort and sugar baby writes in after hearing the crew's previous conversations about dating for money and offers to answer their questions. Naturally, the room immediately generates approximately 700 of them. How much money? What was off-limits? Was sex always involved? How do repeat arrangements end? When do you tell a serious partner about that part of your past? Did you feel safe? Did you pay taxes?Rafe, meanwhile, wants to know whether there was a Groupon.Journalism.Another listener from Metro West Fire Protection District offers to help the crew with CPR training and car-seat installation, which somehow results in Rafe claiming he ordered a RealDoll to practice CPR. Lern immediately populates his imaginary house with Rhonda, Susan, Dolly and Reba, and now apparently Rafe hosts brunch for a collection of synthetic roommates.We're sorry too.Finally, the crew tackles a hypothetical: What if you could choose one food that your body would treat as perfectly healthy forever?Pasta enters the arena. Chocolate-chip cookies arrive, although Moon repeatedly describing his ideal cookie as “wet” and “sweaty” causes unnecessary suffering. Lern chooses cake. Rafe starts negotiating the definition of pasta. Donuts make a late push. Rizz eventually lands on pizza.The rules get debated harder than most federal legislation before the conversation arrives at the true battleground: National Potato Day.French fries? Tater tots? Hash browns? Sweet potatoes? Russets?And Rafe delivers perhaps the most important culinary observation of the episode:A tot is basically a hash-brown marshmallow.This funny podcast has fart science, college-parent chaos, Blues hockey, listener confessions, CPR, sweaty cookies and the opening shots of another Great Potato War.We never claimed this would make you smarter.We claimed it would make your commute weirder.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Contributor: Taylor Lynch, MD Educational Pearls: CPR is an important life-saving measure designed for anyone to perform. Chest compressions works by two mechanisms: Cardiac pump: Direct squeezing of the heart Thoracic pump: Increasing intrathoracic pressure, causing increased blood flow Proper hand placement per current AHA guidelines: Hands are placed in the center of the chest, on the lower half of the sternum A recent study challenged this approach, using TEE during chest compressions to visualize the cardiac structures being compressed. They found that when hands were placed ~1cm to the left of the sternum, this compressed the left ventricular outflow tract, potentially restricting forward blood flow. Hand placement ~4cm to the left of the sternum resulted in more effective compression of the left ventricle. While this is not yet reflected in AHA guidelines, the study presents an interesting finding that may influence how CPR is performed in the future. Key takeaway: Always prioritize administering high quality compressions.

A state lawmaker shared her harrowing account of an alleged sexual assault during a Lyft ride. Her personal experience inspired legislation in 2025 to further regulate ride-hailing companies like Lyft and Uber in the state. Other survivors came to the State Capitol to share their stories and support the legislation. That bill did not become law after the governor's veto. But lawmakers tried again the following year, and parts of the pared-down version take effect this month.Uber has publicly said the vast majority, 99.9%, of its rides happen without incident. But when taking scale into account, and how many rides occur each day, that fraction of a percent can add up. Emily Steel, an investigative reporter for the business desk of The New York Times, has covered this issue extensively. Her reporting into Uber revealed that, between 2017 and 2022, the ride-hailing company received a report of sexual assault or misconduct nearly every eight minutes on average. She joins CPR's Bente Birkeland to share her reporting, including a recent investigation about how Uber's legal team is approaching the mounting number of civil suits against the large company.

Welcome to Episode 301 of The Rizzuto Show, where today's funny podcast begins with the simple question every coworker wants to hear first thing in the morning: “What's wrong with your face?”Rizz shows up sporting a mysterious bandage under his eye, so naturally Lern, Moon and Rafe respond with compassion, maturity and absolutely none of the above. After theories involving shaving accidents, discount Nelly cosplay and possible violence, Rizz reveals what actually happened: he went to the dermatologist expecting to have a skin tag removed. Instead, the doctor took one look under magnification, decided it needed a closer look, removed it and sent it off for a biopsy.So obviously the show handles this delicate situation with dignity.Just kidding. Within minutes we're discussing solidarity Band-Aids, ribbons, Aquaphor, garlic carcinoma and whether Rizz can technically start calling himself a survivor. Nothing brings friends together quite like an unexpected medical procedure and the immediate weaponization of it for content.That somehow sends us into CPR, new-parent panic and the revelation that properly installing a child car seat apparently requires more training than anyone in the room expected. A firefighter calls in, Scott gets some actual useful information, and Rizz remembers the time his son started choking on bacon — prompting Dad Instinct Rizz to spring into action before apparently returning to his omelet like he'd just completed a minor household chore.Lern has also researched emergency procedures for cats, because of course she has.Then Lern returns from Table Rock Lake and the crew settles an important semantic argument: was this a “vacation” or merely a “trip”? Her family getaway included Table Rock, Top of the Rock, an expensive golf-cart cave tour, fake rocks, Branson energy, a canned cave cocktail and enough nickel-and-diming to make you wonder if the scenery charges a convenience fee.The review? Roughly three out of five stars. Nature: beautiful. Family bonding: great. Branson sneaking into the cave like it owns the place: inevitable.The technology portion of today's funny podcast begins when we discover apparently nobody knows how to go anywhere without GPS anymore. After a phone dies around Belleville, getting home becomes a heroic expedition involving memory, highway signs and the ancient navigation technique known as “I think this road eventually hits 270.”That leads perfectly into “popcorn brain,” the term for what happens when our attention starts bouncing between notifications, videos, headlines and entertainment like somebody dumped a bucket of mental popcorn into our skulls. Rizz has watched it happen with his kids, Rafe admits it happens to him during the show, and suddenly everybody realizes this isn't just a teenager problem. We're all cooked.Rafe also celebrates his 3,000th comedy set, which is legitimately impressive and therefore cannot be discussed for long without everyone confusing Mr. 3000 with Mr. Baseball. Congratulations, Rafe. Three thousand performances and you're still voluntarily sitting in this studio. Incredible commitment. Questionable judgment.Finally, St. Louis summer enters the chat.With heat indexes soaring and fall sports practices underway, the crew gets into wet-bulb temperatures, football conditioning, old-school two-a-days, water breaks, marching-band misery and whether parents should make kids finish what they start or accept when something simply isn't for them. Naturally this evolves into expensive travel sports, cheer schedules, obscure athletic scholarships and perhaps the greatest college strategy ever conceived: pick the sport nobody else wants to do.Pole vault your way to financial freedom, kids.It's skin tags, parenting panic, family vacations, technology dependence, short attention spans, youth sports and enough unrelated detours to prove that “popcorn brain” may actually be the official operating system of The Rizzuto Show.Another perfectly normal funny podcast from people who absolutely had a plan when the microphones turned on.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Congratulations, Rafe. Three thousand performances and you're still voluntarily sitting in this studio. Incredible commitment. Questionable judgment.A St. Louis story that's bizarre for all the wrong reasons: a regional Amber Alert, a supposedly stolen Dodge Charger and a missing child who investigators ultimately determined had never been inside the vehicle. The crew gets into the false report, the massive police response it triggered and the uncomfortable fact that this wasn't the first high-profile false child-abduction report the area has dealt with recently.You'd think we'd stay serious after that. You must be new here.Moon finally saw The Odyssey in IMAX, which means it's time for a completely reasonable film review that immediately becomes a referendum on whether human beings still know how to behave inside a movie theater. Talking, climbing over people, premium ticket prices and seats close enough to the screen to personally inspect Tom Holland's pores—moviegoing truly is magical.Then comes an argument guaranteed to make somebody angrily talk to their dashboard: which bands followed a killer debut album with a disappointing sophomore effort? Guns N' Roses, Garbage, Weezer, Bush, Hootie and the Blowfish, Boston, The Darkness, The Strokes, Meat Loaf and Vanilla Ice all enter the conversation, and not everybody leaves with their dignity. Moon also brings an actual musician's perspective to why that second album can be such a nightmare when your first record becomes a hit. Welcome to our funny podcast, where suddenly we're discussing artistic pressure like responsible adults before immediately ruining it.Crap on Celebrities arrives carrying the usual bag of entertainment nonsense. Geddy Lee has a strange encounter with a bird that raises questions about Neil Peart and spiritual visits. Josh Homme reportedly gets expensive while looking irritatingly cool doing it. The crew digs into the renewed conversation surrounding Hilary Duff's teenage relationship with Joel Madden, along with other music and celebrity stories.Then things somehow expand to burglary, stolen treasure and grudges.There's celebrity break-in news, plus Rizz's firsthand visit to the Louvre room connected to an enormous jewel heist—which naturally leads to the discovery that museum security apparently has some surprisingly Walgreens-adjacent rules about chasing people. The show also gets into Jon Hamm, Matthew Lillard facing a fan who held onto a grievance for years, Hollywood's biggest directors and a debate over the greatest movie sequels ever made. Terminator 2, Aliens, The Empire Strikes Back, The Dark Knight, The Godfather Part II and even Paddington 2 get dragged into the arena because this funny podcast respects cinema almost as much as it respects wasting everyone's time.And then suburbia gets interesting.Emily and Nathan from Double Lives of Suburban Wives join The Rizzuto Show to talk about the St. Louis-based reality series centered on women balancing suburban family life with major success creating digital adult content. It's the kind of premise that makes you realize the person standing next to you at soccer practice may have a considerably more interesting LinkedIn than you do.They were looking for an extra $150–$300 a month for groceries… and somehow that turned into hundreds of thousands of dollars, reality TV, and a conversation about monster toys before most people finished their morning coffee.Emily and Nathan from TLC's Double Lives of Suburban Wives join The Rizzuto Show, and we have approximately 47 questions — several of which probably should not be asked before lunch.Emily's story starts in a place a lot of families know all too well: trying to make the bills work. She and Nathan were working opposite shifts to avoid daycare costs, running a woodworking business, and looking for a way to bring in an extra $150–$300 a month.Nothing crazy. Just grocery money.Then Nathan floated the idea of Emily making adult content.Fast-forward four years, and “grocery money” has become a full-blown business spread across multiple platforms. Emily explains how she started cautiously, why showing a real body with stretch marks and cellulite mattered to her, and how one of her earliest subscribers turned out to be what the industry calls a “whale.”Emily and Nathan also explain why they decided to put their lives on TLC's Double Lives of Suburban Wives, what it's like having cameras follow them around the St. Louis area, and why they haven't experienced the massive hometown backlash some people might expect.The conversation gets more serious as Emily discusses body positivity, the stigma surrounding mothers who create adult content, and how she and Nathan have handled conversations about their work with their family. Their position is pretty simple: they're happy, safe, providing for their family, and not particularly interested in living according to somebody else's expectations.Which is probably healthier than reading the comments section. Nobody has ever emerged from there improved.Then we get into the reality-TV side of things.Emily admits the women featured on Double Lives of Suburban Wives aren't necessarily one giant happy friend group. Different personalities, different levels of success, different struggles and — because television producers enjoy remaining employed — plenty of drama.Is some of it ego-driven? Is there competition? What happens when someone enters an already selective group? And could a second season crank things up even further?Emily gives us a glimpse without spoiling the show, while Nathan delivers perhaps the most efficient response to critics imaginable: if people don't approve of the business, maybe they should tell their husbands to stop subscribing.The conversation also covers how creating content changed Emily and Nathan's relationship, whether their views on monogamy have evolved, the truly astonishing variety of things people will pay to see online, and whether Rafe or Lern could theoretically find their own bizarre niche.From woodworking and reptile shows to reality television, body positivity, internet entrepreneurship, suburban gossip and some VERY specific customer requests, this funny podcast is essentially the American dream after somebody accidentally left the parental controls off.And underneath all the jokes is a surprisingly interesting conversation about money, marriage, judgment, family and what “normal” actually looks like when your side hustle becomes more successful than anybody expected.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
