What if addiction isn't about drugs, but about pain? Beneath compulsive behaviors often lie histories of trauma, anxiety, and unmet emotional needs, hidden behind layers of stigma and misunderstanding. In medicine, addiction is still often mischaracterized as a moral failing rather than a treatable illness with deep psychological roots. In this episode, we explore the personal and professional evolution of Dr. Casey Grover, an addiction medicine physician who reframed both his own struggles and the way he cares for patients. Finally, we uncover how shifting mindset and language can transform both clinical outcomes and clinician well-being.

If you've been hearing rumblings about tax changes in 2026, you're not imagining things — we're heading toward one of the biggest tax shifts in decades. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which shaped much of our current tax system, is set to expire unless Congress takes action.  But right now, lawmakers are locked in a high-stakes budget battle, and no one knows exactly how it'll end. This episode breaks down why that matters not just politically — but for your wallet, your financial plan, and the decisions you might want to make before the rules change.

What do you do when your pain becomes so intense, so overwhelming, that the only place left to turn is the emergency room—and even that doesn't feel safe?In this raw and revealing episode, Lyndsay Soprano opens up about her own lived experience with chronic pain, including CRPS and Lyme disease, and the harsh reality of seeking help in an emergency medical system that often doesn't know what to do with people like her. The ER isn't always a place of comfort—it can be cold, dismissive, and downright dangerous when you're already at your breaking point.She's joined by Dr. Jim Keany, an emergency physician who brings honesty and insight to the conversation. Together, they unpack the disconnect between chronic pain patients and emergency care providers, the emotional toll of pain that goes far beyond the physical, and the desperate need for a healthcare system that sees people as whole humans—not just symptoms.Lyndsay and Dr. Keany discuss the deeper layers of chronic pain—how trauma can amplify it, how isolation can worsen it, and how the system often misses the mark. They touch on the struggles of medication management, the power of journaling, and how tools like hypnosis can actually help. Most of all, they stress the importance of treating the whole person, not just the symptoms. With empathy, advocacy, and even a little hope, healing becomes more possible.If you've ever felt dismissed, gaslit, or broken by your pain—or by the people meant to help you, this episode is for you.Find Dr. Jim Keany Online Here:LinkedIn: Dr. Jim KeanyFind The Pain Game Podcast Online Here:Website: thepaingamepodcast.comInstagram: @thepaingamepodcastFacebook: The Pain Game PodcastEpisode Highlights:(00:00) Introduction to Chronic Pain and Trauma(03:04) Emergency Situations and Pain Management(05:54) The Role of Emergency Medicine in Chronic Pain(08:48) Understanding Pain: Psychological and Physical Aspects(12:00) Navigating the Healthcare System(14:57) Alternative Pain Management Strategies(17:51) The Importance of Whole Person Care(21:00) Supporting Loved Ones in Chronic Pain(23:54) The Role of Journaling in Pain Management(26:50) Global Perspectives on Pain and Suffering(30:03) Hope and Future in Pain Management

Then, the majority of our show will be spent getting to know about the new hospital building at Stateline, Nevada from Dr. Clint Purvance, President & CEO of Barton Health.

In this episode of Bioethics in the Margins, we delve into the topic of capital punishment by nitrogen gas. Dr. Robert Glatter is Editor at Large for Medscape Emergency Medicine and Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine at Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell. Dr. Peter Papadakos is Professor of Anesthesiology, Surgery, Neurology and Neurosurgery at the University of Rochester, and a Professor of Internal Medicine at Mercer University School of Medicine. Drs. Papadakos and Glatter dissect the harsh realities of suffering and injustice surrounding the execution of Kenneth Smith in Alabama, the first person executed using nitrogen gas. They explore what nitrogen is and its physiological effects and reflect on the inhumane nature of nitrogen hypoxia. The conversation also touches upon the broader issues of botched executions, delayed executions as psychological torture, the absence of definitive DNA evidence in some death row cases. They highlight the point that both the American Medical Association and the American Society of Anesthesiologists as well as many nursing associations state that participating in executions is not the practice of medicine and is prohibited by their members. This means that executions are conducted by non-medical personnel. They also point out that delaying executions, sometimes for decades, falls under the definition of torture under the Geneva conventions. This conversation poses the question; if our society continues to condone these practices, are we civilized?The JAMA editorial mentioned during the podcast can be found here: Evidence Against Use of Nitrogen for the Death Penalty | Neurology | JAMA | JAMA Network

A common yet often misunderstood infection is popping up in different corners of our community. Mycoplasma pneumonia, otherwise referred to as walking pneumonia, can present in a way that's subtle and sneaky, with a plethora of symptoms. This ‘silent' infection can fly under the radar leaving both patients and providers puzzled, but we want to make sure our listeners feel prepared to tackle this diagnosis.  How do we ensure it doesn't slip through the cracks? How do we identify it in our patients? We'll discuss all that and more in this episode.   Joining us for this exciting discussion are Lilliam Ambroggio, PhD, and Michael Bozzella, DO. Dr. Ambroggio is the Director of Research in the sections of Emergency Medicine and Hospital Medicine at Children's Hospital Colorado. She is also an Associate Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Dr. Bozzella is the Associate Medical Director of Antimicrobial Stewardship and specializes in infectious disease. He is also an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics. Some highlights from this episode include:  Understanding where it colonizes and how it spreads  How to identify this disease properly, as the presentation can look like many different illnesses  How the epidemiology informs what primary care providers should know about this diagnosis  Knowing when to test For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org.

This episode is an eye-opener for anyone intrigued by military medicine and the unparalleled career opportunities it offers.   Take Home Messages: Military medicine offers unique leadership and growth opportunities that are not typically available in civilian medical careers, providing a rich and diverse environment for personal and professional development. Emergency medicine in the military context is distinct due to its adaptability to varied environments, including air, sea, and land operations, which enhances critical thinking and problem-solving skills under resource-constrained conditions. Organizations like the Government Services Chapter of the American College of Emergency Physicians play a crucial role in supporting military medical professionals by providing a community and network for those practicing in the unique setting of federal service. A career in military medicine allows healthcare professionals to have a profound impact on the lives of others, often through mentorship and leadership roles, which can lead to significant personal fulfillment beyond clinical achievements. For medical students and professionals considering federal service, the experience offers unparalleled opportunities, from unique deployments to specialized training, making it a rewarding path for those seeking adventure and service to their country.   Episode Keywords: military medicine, emergency medicine, CDR Sean Stuart, Navy healthcare, military leadership, CBRNE, Joint Task Force Civil Support, GSASEP, Government Services Chapter, American College of Emergency Physicians, military healthcare challenges, military medical field, leadership opportunities, emergency medicine physician, deployed settings, military service career, War Docs Podcast Hashtags: #MilitaryMedicine #EmergencyMedicine #NavyHealthcare #LeadershipInUniform #CBRNE #MedicalPodcast #WarDocsPodcast #CDRSeanStuart #HealthcareLeadership #MilitaryService   Honoring the Legacy and Preserving the History of Military Medicine The WarDocs Mission is to honor the legacy, preserve the oral history, and showcase career opportunities, unique expeditionary experiences, and achievements of Military Medicine.
