When we lose someone, we love, we often say we have a broken heart—but what if that's not just a metaphor?In her new book “The Grieving Body: How The Stress of Loss Can Be An Opportunity For Healing” University of Arizona Professor of Psychology Mary Frances O'Connor shares groundbreaking insights into the biological and physiological impacts grief has on our bodies. O'Connor reveals how profound loss can lead to serious medical conditions, from heart attacks to immune system breakdowns, and explains why grieving can make us more vulnerable to diseases like cancer, pneumonia, and even autoimmune disorders.Drawing on her personal experiences and extensive research, O'Connor outlines why our medical system—and society at large—needs to rethink how we support grieving individuals. She makes a powerful case for viewing grief not only as an emotional experience but as a medical event deserving careful monitoring and intervention, similar to pregnancy or chronic illness.

Whatever your beliefs regarding God or lack of a God as you work in emergency medicine, I hope this episode will uplift and encourage youDaniel talks about how the most anxious person in the room gets the most attention, but we should strive to be the non-anxious presence in the room.

This allows me to take a deep breath, practice mindfulness and reset myself to approach the encounter wellSlow is smooth, smooth is fastTry to smile Engage with the patients that fill your cup and appreciate your care, talk with that staff member that is kind and happyDaniel talks about breath prayers: “Come Lord Jesus”, “help me Lord,” “Lord I need you here” “Come Holy Spirit”Daniel talks about how we help with anxiety. When he sees people in his office at church or in the hospital, they are often anxious just like our patientsHe says one way he combats anxiety is asking the person's full name. What does your middle name mean? Is that a family name? He quickly digs into the details about a person's life, and this can cause the anxiety to diminish. It shows interest in the personThe greatest sound to a person is the sound of their own nameOften the patients chief concern is not the same as their chief complaint In order to give to others, you have to have a full cup first, then what overflows is what you have available for othersHow do we unburden ourselves of the things we take on at work?Eric can compartmentalizeLaurie talks with her spouse to digest the things that happen during the dayPersonally, sometimes I want to talk about my day and other times I don't want to talk at all about my dayDaniel talks about how to avoid “taking home the hitchhikers.” We often see sad stories in our line of work and we can't allow this to negatively impact our close relationshipsDaniel jumps on his trampoline, screams into a pillow or goes to a steam room and gives the burdens over to the Lord.

Whatever your beliefs regarding God or lack of a God as you work in emergency medicine, I hope this episode will uplift and encourage youNew panel! Welcome Pastor Daniel Grothe, ER Physician Eric and ER PA LaurieDaniel talks about the life of a pastor, which isn't exactly as we all might assume. He talks about being a brand new, young pastor and how he responded to the home after the suicide of a 16-year-old boyOne of his first calls as the pastor on-call was the death of a 7-month-old boyHis experience, being a young pastor, not fully trained in how to handle the most difficult of scenarios, but jumping in anyway is not dissimilar to being a new EMT or paramedicHe's not worrying about the medicine aspects like we do but his frequency of dealing with death and dying is very similar to my experienceHe talks about how we come into peoples lives where they are and try to bring healing to them, and this can be costly for us as wellThe ratios of doing the big things like weddings and sermons to the dealing with death and dying is not what you might expect as a pastor, a large portion of time is spent walking through the valley of the shadow of death with othersLaurie talks about an ER she used to work at and the amount of trauma they saw that was often not survivableI recount the cardiac arrest of a 4-year-old I ran years ago and how this caused me to wrestle with GodDaniel talks about the times he has wrestled with God. Including the time New Life Church had an active shooter on campus that killed two young girlsChristians often want to see things like the stories in the book of Acts, miracles. But Acts takes place in 5 cities over 40 years. So, Daniel says, stick around a place for 40 years and you will see all of those things happen while also attending funerals and seeing deathWhy do bad things happen to good people?Daniel looks at what we do as working on this side of eternity to participate with God to be God's representative to those that are sufferingWe all get into the field to help others, but this can get lost in the tasks we have to do during the dayWe have to remember that our actions and how we treat patients, regardless of complaint can demonstrate God's loveBurnout comradery is a problem when we all get in a feedback cycle of complaining about the day and the patients. It might feel good in the moment, but it leads to burnout“That smelly homeless person that just puked on my shoes is made in the image of God”We can choose to be the peace and calm in every scenarioSupport the showFull show notes can be found here: Episodes - Practical EMS - Content for EMTs, PAs, ParamedicsMost efficient online EKG course here: Practical EKG Interpretation - Practical EMS earn 4 CME and learn the fundamentals through advanced EKG interpretation in under 4 hours.

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, uses the tragic terrorist attack in New Orleans that resulted in 15 deaths and more than 35 others injured to launch a discussion about death and dying. He points out that most research on the fear of death shows no link at all between religion and the fear of dying. He goes through an anthology of quotes from famous religious figures regarding death. Psalm 139:16 reveals that God has numbered our days even before we are born. Dr. Hall makes it clear that God does not want us to be afraid of death and dying. It is acknowledged that it is not abnormal to be afraid of death and dying and that any concerns can be alleviated by thinking about spending eternity with Jesus. He concludes with the biblical promises that when believers die the Angels come to get them and that it's only a temporary moment before we walk to the other side.

Episode 149 - This conversation between Father Sean Danda and Nathanael Rea delves into the profound and often avoided topic of death and dying, emphasizing the importance of spiritual preparation, family involvement, and the Church's teachings on end-of-life issues. The discussion highlights the need for open dialogue about death, the role of sacraments, and ethical considerations in care for the dying. It also addresses practical aspects of funeral planning and the significance of burial practices in the Catholic faith, ultimately encouraging listeners to live in a way that prepares them for eternity. Takeaways from this episode: Life is short, and death is certain, making it essential to prepare for the end. The Church teaches that death, judgment, heaven, and hell are the final things to consider. Spiritual preparation is crucial for both the dying and their families. Family members should give permission to their loved ones to let go when the time comes. The last moments of life can be spiritually significant and should be approached with care. Ethical dilemmas in end-of-life care require thoughtful consideration and guidance. Funeral arrangements should be made in advance to ease the burden on family members. The Church allows for cremation, but there are specific guidelines to follow. Respect for the body after death is important, reflecting the belief in resurrection. Living a life of faith and kindness prepares us for eternity.

"On Death And Dying" is a Dharma talk and guided meditation about being mindful of death and dying (Maranasati). Much of our suffering around the topic of death and dying comes from not talking enough about it, let alone practicing around it. My hope is that this talk helps you find a loving, joyful way of holding this often heavy topic, which need not be so heavy.
What if the shift towards for-profit hospice care models is compromising the quality of your loved one's final days? In this episode, Don and I have a robust conversation on hospice with Penny Hawkins Smith, BSN, RN, CHPN. Hospice Nurse Penny, as she is known to her millions of social media followers, is a nationally certified hospice and palliative care registered nurse with over 17 years of experience with a passion for hospice advocacy and normalizing death and dying. Have you ever wondered how hospice care is funded and what services are actually covered? We break down the often-misunderstood world of hospice care funding, highlighting the system used by nonprofit agencies and detailing the array of services provided under this model, as well as the hidden truths behind the financial practices of many hospice agencies and their unsettling impact on patient care. We confront the alarming rise in Medicare spending and the exodus of physicians from the field. The episode also tackles the aggressive marketing strategies in the industry and the emotional turmoil families face when navigating palliative and hospice care. From the importance of clear communication and family advocacy to the systemic hurdles within end-of-life care, this conversation offers insights and personal stories that resonate deeply.Navigating the maze of hospice care decisions can be daunting, especially when facing ethical dilemmas and advocating for compassionate treatment. We explore the critical role of hospice advocacy, the rights of patients and families, and the often-overlooked challenges of caregiving in nursing homes. Through personal anecdotes and professional insights, we shed light on the importance of respecting patient dignity and goals, and the necessity for better education and support in end-of-life decisions. Join us as we call for empathy, open dialogue, and a more humane approach to hospice and elder care.Follow Hospice Nurse Penny on TIKTOKSupport the Show.JOIN THE PEOPLE OVER PROFIT MOVEMENT FOR NURSING HOME REFORM!

New research into the dying brain suggests the line between life and death may be less distinct than previously thought. By Alex Blasdel. Help support our independent journalism at theguardian.com/longreadpod
How many of you have discussed your own end of life wishes with your loved ones, completed your living will, and designated your healthcare proxy? How often do you ask your patients about their own healthcare proxies or end of life wishes? How comfortable do you feel having these conversations? If you're anything like me, talking about death and dying can be awkward, uncomfortable, and even scary. I often feel tongue-tied when I need to ask a patient their code status and don't know the best phrases to use. Thankfully, I have Tracey Piparo as my guest on the show today! Tracey found her dream Unicorn Job as a Palliative Care PA, and she's here to teach us how to talk about death with not only our patients, but also our own families. Tracey shares many pearls that every healthcare provider, regardless of specialty, can use in their practice to normalize the conversation around death.
