In this validating episode, Kayleigh is joined by Dr. James Jackson, an internationally recognized psychologist, neuropsychology specialist, and pioneer in post-intensive care syndrome (PICS). Together, they explore the often-overlooked reality of medical trauma and what true healing can look like after surviving critical illness.

When patients become critically ill, their bodies often fall into a dangerous immune response loop that today's ICU tools can't fully see or stop. The CIRCLE program aims to give doctors a clearer roadmap by combining new sensors, faster lab insights, and digital models that predict how a patient will respond. Joining me to discuss long‑term promise for ICU care is Dr. Yoram Vodovotz, Program Manager for CIRCLE at ARPA‑H.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Beneplan is excited to be adding Allstate Canada as a provider on its TPA platform for group benefits, and the reason why they were chosen as a provider for group critical illness, especially distributed on an individual voluntary basis, is because their contracts and terms and conditions show that they will pay claims faster and more often with expanded definitions compared to other products. Beneplan CEO Yafa Sakkejha sits down with Dante Dedomenicis, Vice President of Allstate Canada, and Teddy Fedoryn, Manager of Distribution, in the spring of 2026 to get into the nitty gritty of their philosophy on pre-existing conditions, how to deal with illnesses in a gray area like Alzheimer's, cancer, how kids are automatically added to coverage, and how they don't have a survival period.To work with Beneplan, please contact our advisor wholesaler Diane Carvalho, Vice President of Broker Success, at diane@beneplan.ca - or call 1-800-387-1670.//Beneplan est heureuse d'accueillir Allstate Canada à titre de fournisseur sur sa plateforme d'administrateur tiers (ATP) pour les avantages sociaux collectifs. Si Allstate Canada a été choisie comme fournisseur pour l'assurance maladies graves collective — distribuée notamment sur une base individuelle et volontaire — c'est parce que ses contrats ainsi que ses modalités et conditions démontrent qu'elle règle les réclamations plus rapidement et plus souvent, grâce à des définitions élargies par rapport aux autres produits sur le marché.Yafa Sakkejha, s'entretient au printemps 2026 avec Dante Dedomenicis, vice-président d'Allstate Canada, et Teddy Fedoryn, directeur de la distribution, afin d'approfondir leur philosophie en matière de conditions préexistantes, leur approche à l'égard des maladies en zone grise comme l'Alzheimer et le cancer, l'ajout automatique des enfants à la couverture, ainsi que l'absence de période de survie.Pour travailler avec Beneplan, veuillez communiquer avec notre courtier grossiste Diane Carvalho, vice-présidente au succès des courtiers, à l'adresse diane@beneplan.ca — ou par téléphone au 1-800-387-1670.

Dr. Jackson is a licensed psychologist, neuropsychologist, and Director of Rehabilitation and Recovery at Vanderbilt's Critical Illness, Brain Dysfunction, and Survivorship Center, where he works with people facing life-threatening and chronic medical conditions. Together, Laura and Dr. Jackson unpack why the experience of breast cancer can feel traumatic long after diagnosis or treatment begins. They discuss how medical trauma can develop not only from cancer itself, but also from the difficult encounters, procedures, scans, uncertainty, and dismissive moments that can leave a lasting emotional mark. Dr. Jackson explains why he prefers the term medical trauma over medical PTSD, noting that people may experience PTSD, but also anxiety, depression, OCD, and a wide range of other emotional effects.In this episode, we discuss: What medical trauma is and why the term matters  The difference between medical trauma and medical PTSD How breast cancer can trigger fear, anxiety, and emotional distress long after diagnosis  Why caregivers and loved ones can experience trauma too  The importance of dignity, humanity, and being truly heard in healthcare  Dr. Jackson's upcoming book, Reclaiming Your Life from Medical TraumaSupport the showLatest News: Become a Breast Cancer Conversations+ Member!

Travel to specialists, experimental treatments, childcare during appointments, and months without income create financial devastation that regular health insurance never touches.

Today, we're speaking to Dr Joy McFadzean,a GP in Swansea and Clinical Lecturer of Patient Safety based at Cardiff University. We're here to talk about the paper she's recently published here in the BJGP alongside her colleagues titled, ‘Critical illness in prisons: a multi-method analysis of reported healthcare safety incidents in England'.Title of paper: Critical illness in prisons: a multi-method analysis of reported healthcare safety incidents in EnglandAvailable at: https://doi.org/10.3399/BJGP.2025.0239Using a mixed-methods descriptive and framework analysis, this paper provides new insights into the complexity of care delivery in prisons. Results resonate with and strengthen the recommendations from recent investigations into prison healthcare by further developing an understanding of the complex intersecting factors contributing to safety incidents and quality issues in care delivery. The fundamental importance of good quality and adequately resourced primary care delivery in prisons has been highlighted. It also identifies system-wide interventions that are needed to improve care delivery, and which are likely to interest policy-makers and scrutiny bodies, commissioners and teams working in prisons to inform developments in strategic health needs assessments, workforce profiling, and training requirements for healthcare and prison teams.FundingThis study/project is funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Policy Research Programme (PR-R20-0318-21001).

Welcome back to the first season of the BJGP podcast here in 2026.And we're starting off this season of the podcast with a chat with Dr. Joy McFadyn. Joy is a GP based in Swansea and clinical lecturer of Patient safety based at Cardiff University.We're here to talk about the paper she's recently published here in the BJGP alongside her colleagues. The paper is titled Critical Illness in Prisons A Multi Method Analysis of Reported Healthcare Safety Incidents in England.So, hi, Joy, it's really lovely to meet you and to talk about this research, but yeah, just taking a step back, I think it's fair to say that the prison population is an underserved and probably fairly under researched population as well.But you point out here in the paper that it's not only this, but that the prison population is actually at a much higher risk of early mortality as well. So can you talk us through this at all?Speaker B00:01:10.680 - 00:02:31.010Yeah, that's a really good point. So we know that people who reside in prison, known as prisoners, will have very high rates of physical and mental health needs.And as you say, there are concerns that they have rates of premature mortality, so they may die up to 20 years earlier than the rest of the population. But they are a population which isn't necessarily the area of focus.So even though we know the importance of supporting their healthcare as a public health concern, they are often underserved, they're quite vulnerable, and yet there hasn't been enough research to support them to have...

Listen to today's podcast... According to the health index almost 45% of people don't put their health at the top of their priority list and for some it's not on the list at all. Many of us will experience a critical illness at some point in their life. It's just a matter of rolling the dice. Medical advances mean that we have a better chance of surviving a critical illness. However surviving a critical illness, such as breast cancer, can be one of the most difficult challenges in life and often brings overwhelming medical and financial burdens on the person and their family. Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!      Knowing that one in nine women will develop breast cancer, Here Are Today's Tips For Building Resiliency In Celebrating Breast Cancer Awareness Month: Know that supportive families have a beneficial impact on the patient's response to treatment, however if the family anxiety is high, they may be unable to support the patient and may transfer their anxiety. So understand what family members need during this difficult time. The most important of these needs is assurance and hope they want to remain near their patient, and they want to receive information and support. Anxiety is reduced when a sense of control is promoted.

Psychologist and heart-transplant recipient Dr. Brittany Clayborne shares how her own medical journey prepared her to guide her son Micah through sudden heart failure, an LVAD, and a life-saving transplant. She unpacks the family's rare Danon's disease diagnosis, post-transplant cancer (PTLD), and the everyday realities after transplant—meds, setbacks, and hope. You'll learn Dr. Brittany's BRAVE framework for hard moments, how rituals sustain connection during long hospital stays, and how Micah turned his experience into action with Transplant Teens and My Brave Journal. This conversation is packed with concrete tools, compassion, and the reminder that “hope is a team sport.” You do not want to miss this week's episode. Featured moments: 00:00 — Why families need “somewhere to be brave.” 04:50 — Brittany's peripartum cardiomyopathy, ICU wait, and LVAD. 10:05 — PTLD diagnosis and becoming the psychologist she needed. 12:50 — Micah's chest pain → HCM crisis and transplant path. 24:00 — The BRAVE acronym families can use today. 44:00 — “Hope is a team sport.” Transplant Teens' vision. Key takeaways: Use BRAVE in tough conversations: Breathe • Realize feelings • Accept them • Vent/Vulnerable with a trusted person • Elevate above it. Build predictable touchpoints (calls/visits) to anchor kids during long hospitalizations. Teens heal better with peers; if the group doesn't exist yet, create it. Resources mentioned: Transplant Teens (free peer support for grades 7–12) Transplant Teens Instagram My Brave Journal (and transplant edition) by Micah — on Amazon.

In this episode of the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) Podcast, host Kyle B. Enfield, MD, FCCM, speaks with Garrett McDougall, MS, MSc, and Ben Forestell, MD, of McMaster University about their recent study, “Direct Laryngoscopy Versus Video Laryngoscopy for Intubation in Critically Ill Patients: A Systematic Review, Meta-Analysis, and Trial Sequential Analysis of Randomized Trials,” published in the November 2024 issue of Critical Care Medicine. The study included 20 randomized controlled trials encompassing 4569 patients to investigate whether video laryngoscopy (VL) offers advantages over direct laryngoscopy (DL) for intubation in critically ill patients.  A key finding of the study was that VL probably improves first-pass success rates and reduces the risk of esophageal intubation and dental injury. These benefits extend across the spectrum of operator experience, especially among novice operators but also among seasoned operators.   Drs. McDougall and Forestell discuss findings that surprised them, such as seeing equal benefit for standard VL and hyperangulated VL devices. Additionally, no clear benefits were found for patients who were intubated emergently with VL as compared to those who underwent elective intubation. The discussion covers what could be next for resuscitation and airway research in critically ill patients. There may be more to learn about scenarios involving difficult airways, soiled airways, and emergent versus elective intubation. More research on device characteristics could also provide important insights. To wrap up, the guests underscore the importance of maintaining both VL and DL proficiency since DL can be a more appropriate choice for some patients. Resources referenced in this episode: Direct Laryngoscopy Versus Video Laryngoscopy for Intubation in Critically Ill Patients: A Systematic Review, Meta-Analysis, and Trial Sequential Analysis of Randomized Trials (McDougall GG, et al.

This World Shared Practice Forum reviews the Global PARITY study, a comprehensive research initiative aimed at understanding and addressing pediatric critical illness in resource-constrained settings. The discussion highlights the methodology, challenges, and key findings of the study, emphasizing the high prevalence of critical illnesses such as pneumonia, sepsis, and malaria among children in low socio-demographic index regions. The authors stress the importance of basic critical care interventions and the need for global health equity, advocating for the integration of critical care into health systems worldwide. LEARNING OBJECTIVES - Understand the methodology and challenges of conducting the Global Parity Study in resource-constrained settings. - Identify the most common pediatric critical illnesses and their prevalence in low socio-economic regions. - Recognize the importance of basic critical care interventions in improving health outcomes for critically ill children. - Appreciate the role of global health equity and the need for integrating critical care into health systems. - Explore the potential impact of research findings on policy decisions and resource allocation in healthcare.

Mark E. Hamill, MD, FCCM, a trauma surgeon, intensivist, and past chair of the Society of Critical Care Medicine's (SCCM) Fundamental Critical Care Support (FCCS) Committee, discusses the evolution, impact, and future of training of critical care. In this SCCM podcast, Dr. Hamill reflects on his decade-long journey with FCCS, beginning with local implementation at his former institution to eventually leading national and international Fundamentals efforts. He shares powerful stories from training initiatives in Rwanda, Palestine, and war-time Ukraine—highlighting the program's global reach and ability to empower frontline clinicians. Central to the discussion is Dr. Hamill's published study, “Impact of Standardized Multidisciplinary Critical Care Training on Confidence with Critical Illness and Attitudes Towards Interprofessional Education and Multidisciplinary Care” (Hamill ME, et al. J Intensive Care Med. 2024;39:320-327). The study analyzed survey data from 328 multidisciplinary learners and demonstrated significant increases in participants' self-assessed confidence across key critical care domains—including sepsis, respiratory failure, shock, and neurologic illness—after completing FCCS. The findings support what many instructors have long observed anecdotally: FCCS builds competence, fosters interprofessional collaboration, and enhances learners' readiness to respond to critically ill patients. Dr. Hamill also explains the study's methodology, including retrospective precourse analysis and a three-month follow-up, and shares insights about future research plans involving simulation-based evaluation to assess knowledge retention and behavior change. Whether you are considering hosting a Fundamentals course, becoming an instructor, or expanding your training programs, this podcast episode offers compelling evidence of FCCS's lasting value in skills acquisition and elevating the culture of care.
