A report has flagged serious concerns about Middlemore Hospital's Emergency Department. The review was commissioned to look into the death of a woman after she left Middlemore ED without being seen. The woman turned up to the hospital in June with a headache but left a short time later in the face of huge delays and later died. The independent review found only half of all patients are seen within six hours. However, it could not say whether the woman would have survived if she had been seen by staff. Kate Allan is the New Zealand chair of the College of Emergency Medicine and is an ED specialist. She talks to Rowan Quinn.

This programme has been highlighting the concerns of women and their partners who are accessing maternity services across the country. Kieran spoke to John last Friday who described being denied entry to the Emergency Dept and left sitting in the car trying to comfort his wife while she was in the Coombe hospital suffering a miscarriage. He also spoke to a father called Jim, who experienced something similar with his partner. But, is there still confusion between what the minister thinks is happening and what the HSE guidelines state? Linda Kelly, a campaigner for Better Maternity Care who herself gave birth during the lockdown, joined Mark Cagney on the show. She said some Irish hospitals are still “wilfully disregarding” the HSE's national policy on partners attending maternity units.

Guest: Dr. Robert Leschke, Emergency Dept. Physician. September is Sepsis Awareness Month. It shines a light on a potentially life-threatening emergency.
Today’s episode is an interview with Dr. Wendy Stephan, an educator and epidemiologist for the Florida Poison Information Center in Miami. As a poison prevention advocate and educator, she shares important messages through storytelling. **Listener discretion is advised.** Some of the topics in this episode include children putting weird things in their mouths, poisoning, injury, death, medicine looks like candy, and more. Again, listener discretion is advised. Dr. Wendy Stephan is the educator and epidemiologist for the Florida Poison Information Center in Miami. For the past 12 years, Wendy has promoted the use of poison control and worked to prevent poisonings of all kinds, including from medication, household chemicals, and environmental hazards. Wendy completed her PhD in Epidemiology and her Master of Public Health degree at the University of Miami and has previously chaired the Public Education Committee of the American Association of Poison Control Centers. Website, e-mail, and social media links • Website(s): www.floridapoisoncontrol.org • Email: wstephan@med.miami.edu • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/wendy-stephan-phd-mph-315b70178/ • Twitter: @floridapoison Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FloridasPCC/ Mentioned in the episode 1-800-222-1222 is the Poison Help Line (Poison Control) poisoncenter@fpicn.org = Florida’s Poison Information Center educators or call 1-800-222-1222. Institute for Safe Medication Practices ISMP.org is a non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of safe medication practices. FDA MedWatch adverse event reporting site: https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/medwatch/ https://www.poisonhelp.org/help https://www.webpoisoncontrol.org Highlights The Florida Poison Information Center in Miami partners with two other centers to serve the state of FL: Jacksonville and Tampa. The Miami location serves South Florida. The Jacksonville location also serves the US Virgin Islands. There are 55 poison control centers in the US. Every state and territory has access to one. Calls are geographically routed to a call center. One poison center may serve multiple states. Contact your local poison center for prevention education. As a poisoning prevention advocate and educator, Dr. Wendy Stephan shares important messages through storytelling. People in crisis have stories, which connect with people better than cold facts. We are programmed as humans to learn through stories. She teaches pharmacy students. Students enjoy interacting with the community. March is Poison Prevention Month. The 3rd week of March each year is Poison Prevention Week. The poison help line number is 1-800-222-1222. Program it in your phone. Sometimes, law enforcement needs pills identified. The poison help line is a great resource for pill identification because calls are recorded and can be used later (by subpoena) if needed. Teaching kids “asking behavior” is important. “Mom and Dad, what about poison control?” Wendy’s work impacts all ages. According to Wendy, working with caregivers and teachers is more helpful than working with toddlers because it touches more lives and avoids toddlers misinterpreting messages [about poisons]. Older adults and DD caregivers need Poison Control too. For example, older individuals with poor vision who may be reading bottles in low light and have multiple medications are at risk for medication errors. Organizations like Elder Affairs or an Area Office on Aging is a great place for pharmacists and pharmacy students to volunteer to speak about poison prevention. Be careful: don’t lecture, don’t stigmatize. They know they’re taking a lot of medications. Wendy realized she had a passion for poisoning prevention at the age of 6, when she saw a “Mr. Yuck sticker.” As an adult, she started in poison prevention while working as an educator with Lora Fleming, a Marine Scientist. Working at the FL poison center is like the Super Bowl for an epidemiologist. It’s a once-in-a lifetime experience to be working in the field. The COVID pandemic has affected injury epidemiology in FL: Hand sanitizer exposures (eyes, mouth) have increased compared to this time last year. Disinfectant exposures have increased. Bleach exposures have increased. [As a class,] household cleaning product exposures have increased. FL Poison Information Centers have helped the FL Dept of Health with their COVID-19 hotline. Training and resources were provided quickly. There have been >50,000 calls to the FL COVID-19 hotline so far. FL Poison Information Centers have seen an increase in calls about supplements and vitamins. Ex: vitamin C, vitamins in general, dietary supplements, and homeopathic remedies Pharmacists need to be aware that people are self-treating with OTC’s. While patients are at the counter for counseling, ask if they’re taking anything or “mega dosing.” Supplements can interfere with medications. Who are Dr. Wendy Stephan’s coworkers? Doctors, nurses, and pharmacists who are certified specialists in poison information (abbreviated C-SPI or SPI). Her staff are 100% physicians in Miami. Wendy provides support to her coworkers and trains safety educators in the community. Ex: healthy start program home visitors who work with parents. Ex: foster parents and medical foster parents. By reaching home visitors (people who work with parents), she reaches more parents. It’s efficient. Works with other poison educators and colleagues around the state to design materials: fliers, social media messages, etc. Content relevant to the news gets good engagement. It’s hard to get attention when you’re competing with other content. Two things that Florida has that Ohio does not have are snakes and aquatic toxins. People fear snakes, but there are only ~6 bites per month from venomous snakes in FL. Images of captured snakes in a bucket are something the FL Poison Information Center sees often. Sometimes the Emergency Dept calls the Poison Information Center for support. Ciguatera Fish Poisoning happens in Florida. This marine toxin can even reach Ohio when fish are transported. Jelly Fish stings from the Portuguese man o’ war and the Box Jelly Fish are common too. Marine toxins change over time, and some toxins can cause someone go into shock. Who do I call? 9-1-1 or Poison Control? Call 9-1-1 if someone is unconscious, having trouble breathing, having chest pain, there lots of bleeding, or there has been an intentional poisoning. EMT’s will call the poison information center when needed. Most 1-800-222-1222 poisoning calls usually present as Someone swallowed something unusual Someone made a medication mistake. At first, they seem fine, and there is no drama. Even when symptoms are not immediate and dramatic, call for help! Poison Control can walk people through symptoms that may develop. Then, Poison Control makes follow-up telephone calls. Ex: toothpaste + milk = vomit that looks like cottage cheese, and that’s a good thing. Iron poisonings are serious and deadly because of multi-organ involvement. Iron tablets can be attractive to children and may look like candy. According to Wendy, child-resistant packaging slows a child down ~ 30 seconds. Child-resistant packages do not guarantee safety. Lock boxes help prevent medication-related poisonings in all ages. Make it a habit to hide medications in a lock box. 20% of poisoning deaths are intentional due to depression or a moment of panic. Lock boxes could slow someone down long enough for the self-harm impulse to pass. Prevention is for all ages. Best practices: Don’t stockpile medications. (Ex: Hurricanes and emergency preparedness) Medications that are older and expired may cause confusion about who they’re for, or why they’re on-hand. If you have forgotten it’s even in the home, it’s time to get rid of it. Drug disposal is important. Use drug disposal programs and do routine “sweeps” and get rid of anything you don’t need. Don’t accumulate dangerous and unnecessary meds in the home. Some drugs are like time bombs in the home. Ex: Hydrocodone and teens or someone depressed due to loss of job. Get rid of it! It’s dangerous to keep around. DEA Take Back Days are an option twice/year. Some communities pair drug take-back with “shred days” to prevent poisonings and identity theft as a 2-for-1 service. The National Poison Data System provides nearly real-time poison center data. This information is reported to the Health Dept and the CDC. Contaminated products Street drugs Confusing packaging on consumer products. Placing a case report helps the poison center identify problems and respond or get the attention of someone who can respond/initiate a public health response. Ex: e-cigarettes. Is it better to call Poison Control or use a poison information website? Poison information websites are available, but calls are better because diagnostic information can be collected by phone. Ex: slurred speech (impairment is present). Ex: hearing someone cough after a baby powder exposure. If someone is hearing impaired, the websites can be a helpful alternative. A typical week for Wendy involves a mix of office and community work. Building relationships is important. She likes the variety and challenge. Wendy uses a visual aid with high school students, emergency room doctors, and others called the “Cookie Jar of Doom.” It contains pictures or items to represent the 12 most deadly poisons in Florida. It leads to great discussions. Examples include: Carbon Monoxide Prescription drugs: oxycodone, hydrocodone, methadone Illicit drugs/street drugs: cocaine and heroin Benzodiazepines No snakes, no spiders. Nothing is alive in the jar. The source of the items is data from the Injury Prevention Program at the FL Dept of Health on substances leading to deaths. For more information, see the “poisoning data” tab on the Florida Poison Information Center website. Stories, games, and interacting with things physically are universally fun for everyone, and variety is good. What is the scariest poison? Alcohol. Alcohol changes behavior and judgement, unlike many other poisons. Very serious cause of injury death Alcohol poisoning can result. Alcohol can lead to car crashes. Alcohol can lead to a fatal interaction with a weapon. Alcohol can lead to self harm. It’s the most stealth poison. Alcohol has been partly responsibility for 25% of deaths one year in FL. It flies under the radar. Children can’t metabolize alcohol, so they can easily become injured. How (in general) can someone prevent a poisoning? Awareness of different poison hazards in the home. Prevent medication mistakes Prevent product exposures Look at the labels Store medications up and away above shoulder height in a cabinet with a closed door. Drawers and shelves are not good places to store medication and household products. Know what to do if something happens. Call Poison Control. Have the number handy. Don’t “wait and see” when there has been a medication error. Call right away. Knowing about “pretty poisons” and look-alike items is helpful. What does Dr. Wendy Stephan love most about working for the FL poison information center? Great colleagues in FL and across all poison information centers and being in the community. What is a challenge she faces? Getting the word out about their center and getting people’s attention. People think, “it won’t happen to me.” Calls to Poison Control are confidential. There is HIPPA protection. Poison Control fields plenty of calls from individuals suffering from mental illness. Poison control centers don’t judge. They don’t call child protective services either. Some communities are fearful of children being removed from the home (suspected abuse). Epidemiologists use data to understand the big picture. Epidemiology drives effective interventions. Injury data is important. Talking about medication safety and alcohol will save lives. Local, state, and national data drives effective interventions and actions public health epidemiologists make. How can pharmacists help? Be that trust professional who can educate people, share expertise, etc. because you have relationships with patients and key members of the community.

Welcome the beloved Hala Sabry, founder of PMG. You'll hear how PMG came to exist from a night she was feeling worry and anxiety sitting all alone on her sofa at night worrying about how she could possibly figure out how to take care of 3 small children (including twins about to be born) while being an Emergency Dept physician with unpredictable shifts and high demands. She reached out to her friend Dina and they agreed to put together a small group of friends...and the rest is history. If you want to let me know a "big no" that you are making in your life, I'd love to hear about it and why it's important to you. I absolutely love seeing the real change that you, a real woman physician, are making in your life. That's how we change the culture of medicine, one person at a time. You become an example of what is possible. https://empoweringwomenphysicians.com/bigno/ If you want to get info about the 2019 or 2020 Bora Bora retreat to receive updates as soon as they are available (wanna be the first to know?) then click on the "send me the details" button on this site to enter your email https://empoweringwomenphysicians.com/boraboraretreat/ If you want to donate to PMGs efforts with Unicef to work towards eradicating tetanus click here https://www.unicefusa.org/pmg.
Eight years ago, Gretta Manners had a full time career in teaching and was a busy (and exhausted) mother of three young children; Hazel, 4, Maria, 2 and Tadhg, 6 months. She began to feel unwell and eventually went to the Emergency Dept. of her local hospital to find out what was wrong with her. It would be almost a year before Gretta got home again. What followed was months in hospital due to a rapid onset brain injury of unknown cause. Gretta lost her ability to talk, to walk, to determine the difference between her conscious and sleeping mind. She was plagued with a ‘ticker tape’ of nightmares and felt like she had ‘gone mad’. An encounter with a trial drug, along with a dedicated consultant (Prof. Tubridy), meant that Gretta’s deteriorating condition was thankfully stopped in its tracks and she would be able to start to slowly rebuild the broken brain connections, needing to learn to walk and talk all over again. The dedication of her family who didn’t leave her side during all of those institutionalised months and a consultant who really cared, meant that Gretta was given the best possible chance at life again, against all the odds. Whilst Gretta defied many of the medical opinions in that she learnt to walk again, manages to run a couple of laps of the running track, can walk and drive and do day to day activities, she did not make a full recovery. Her balance remains a challenge and she often has difficulty with her short-term memory. She gets easily overwhelmed by a lot of conversation and sometimes it’s just too difficult for her to process what is going on in a busy room. In this conversation, we hope to highlight the losses that can be associated with acquired brain injury and hopefully make people more aware of this invisible condition that is often accompanied by invisible struggle. What comes across utmost in this conversation is how compassionate medical care and a dedicated circle of family and friends can really make a difference to a person’s outcome.

I've known Tiffany for quite a long time now and she truly is like a sister to me. I was so excited to have her on the show, but I've never once worked with her. Despite this, she is such a wonderful person that if I ever was to be sick, injured, or my family needed care I would be so fortunate if she was the nurse. She has been caring for people her entire life, even when not her responsibility. I hope you feel as inspired as I am after listening to her. As we discussed here is a wonderful Florence Nightingale quote: The most important practical lesson that can be given to nurses is to teach them what to observe, how to observe, what symptoms indicate improvement, what the reverse, which are of importance, which are of none, which are the evidence of neglect, and of what kind of neglect.

Welcome to Episode 65 of Brain Software with Mike Mandel and Chris Thompson! Those of you who enjoy this sort of podcast, will find this to be just the sort of podcast you enjoy! Check out mikemandelhypnosis.com for more info on what we’re up to. Here are the show notes for this episode: Chris begins by explaining and justifying his bizarre, complicated, expensive, and largely unsuccessful eye-surgery. You can hear the fear in his voice, and the regret that he had PRK instead of Lasik. Chris realizes he’s telling a Ken Sweatman story, and attempts to resell it as a metaphor. It falls horribly flat, resulting in the loss of thousands of devoted Brain Software listeners. (editor’s note from Chris: Can you tell Mike is writing the show notes now? This stuff is absolutely hilarious!) Chris forgets the program is about hypnosis and NLP and goes into an extended rambling story about beach volleyball and his upcoming vacation. He’s going to the Dominican Republic for Christmas, to lie on the beach, ogling mega-babes in thongs, and Mike pretends not to be envious. René from Germany comes to St. Michael’s College for the Architecture of Hypnosis training, and experiences first-hand, the excitement of squirrel bites, rabies, tetanus, etc. Amazingly, René survives, thanks to Mt. Sinai Hospital’s Emergency Dept. He’s still not foaming at the mouth, so all appears to be well… Mike teaches our listeners the Dancing Hair. This is a pseudo-magic trick that squirts stinging salt water into a victim’s eyes; just like the sort of thing Bryce-Morgan would do to Henry Squatter. Mike throws down the challenge, offering a prize to the first person who successfully performs the Dancing Hair in a public place and records it. Mike and Chris pick up the mail on their way to lunch, where they plan to eat-off and drink-off. Neil Strauss has sent Mike a copy of his newest book. Thanks Neil! NLP Timelines! How we code time affects how we view the world. By changing the location and submodalities of temporal events, we change our experience of life itself. In time, or through time…which one are you? Mike gives an example of doing a Timeline shift in King’s Cross, Sydney Australia’s red light district, and explains how to work with a mismatcher. Mike admits that he has never been accused of modesty! He often secretly thinks of the word “membrane” though. The conversation turns to bullying, and editing the past. Mike has hunted down and annihilated all the bullies from his past (at least in his Timeline). Empowering Question: What is going to make 2016 the best year you have ever had, and what are you prepared to do NOW, to make sure that that occurs? Metaphor: The cottage at Minden Ontario, and the wildlife encountered there…(Mike brilliantly renames Chris’ wife and two daughters, referring to them as Vorolaya, Tamarind and Gloxinnia, purely for his own amusement.) Ending: Honey Hallmark Episode 2! More zany fun with that frizzy red-haired woman, who drives a school bus, and loves greeting cards, but isn’t much different than the rest of us!

Devi speaks with Kim Ramsey about what it is like to live with Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder.Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder, also known as PGAD or Restless Genital Syndrome or Persistent Genital Arousal Syndrome, is a condition characterized by unrelenting, spontaneous and uncontainable genital arousal in females. The condition may or may not include arousal with orgasm and/or genital engorgement. The patient's arousal is not linked to sexual desire. Because PGAD people involuntarily challenge medical and sexual norms, they are often culturally, emotionally, socially and medical marginalized. This leads to economic, political and interpersonal dynamics that can cause the patient severe distress. We are humans with a disorder that has not yet been fully ratified by the medical community and therein lies the problem.

Why is important that our seniors matter? Our seniors are the fabric that holds a community together. They laid the foundation for the success of our communities, and are still a vital and important part of it’s ongoing success. We thought it was important that seniors and their caregivers have a place to ‘go’ weekly to learn, share ideas, share experiences and create a new online community for the betterment of everyone, especially seniors.
