Embark on a fascinating exploration of military medicine with Commander Sean Stewart, a distinguished emergency medicine physician and the Command Surgeon for Joint Task Force Civil Support. Ever wondered what it takes to transition from traditional medical practice to the dynamic, resource-challenged environments faced by Navy doctors? This episode promises to illuminate the unique aspects of military medicine through the eyes of a seasoned professional. Discover the blend of clinical acumen and leadership required to thrive as a Battalion Surgeon, and understand the multifaceted roles that military medics play across diverse operational settings. Commander Stewart shares his personal journey fueled by a rich legacy of Marine Corps service, and his unexpected pivot to emergency medicine.

As Stewart elaborates on his current responsibilities ensuring readiness for Homeland Defense missions, listeners will gain an appreciation for the critical thinking and adaptability needed in the CBRNE enterprise. 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.

Doctor Tom Stein recently published his first book, Gratitude Is Not Enough, The True Story of a Belgian Family Forever Changed by a Band of American WWII Soldiers. The book focuses on the Remember Museum ‘39-‘45 in Clermont, Belgium that was opened by Marcel and Mathilde Schmetz, better known as the M&Ms by soldiers in a U.S. Army Company of the First Infantry Division who were briefly quartered on Marcel's family farm in December 1944 before the Battle of the Bulge. Marcel saved many of the items the soldiers left behind, what he calls “treasure,” and which became the core of this special collection dedicated to the Americans who helped liberate Belgium from four years of Nazi occupation. The Museum, which is adjacent to the M&M's home, contains the requisite "stuff" of a museum, but importantly, tells the soldiers' stories, many of whom became lifelong friends with Marcel and Mathilde. I've read Gratitude is Not Enough and can tell you it's a powerfully written account of what the people of Clermont endured during World War II and the M&Ms efforts to preserve its history in their museum. I highly recommend this book to you. Dr. Tom Stein is a retired Emergency Physician, as well as a retired Colonel in the U.S. Army Medical Corps. He completed his Emergency Medicine Residency at Darnall Army Community Hospital, Fort Hood, Texas and served thirty-eight years in the Army and Army Reserves. Emergency Medical Services and Disaster Medicine are his sub-specialties.

In this vital and technically complex presentation, Dr Scott Antoine explains why PANS (Pediatric Acute-Onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome) and PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Streptoccocal Infection) are common and overlooked root cause of psychiatric symptoms in children (such as OCD, restrictive eating, anxiety, emotional distress, depression, dramatic mood swings, psychosis and suicidal ideation). In doing so, he encourages physicians to explore mental health in an entirely new way, especially in the treatment of children. Dr Scott Antoine completed his undergraduate training at the University of Scranton, after which he completed his doctorate at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. He later served in active duty with the United States Army as an Emergency Physician and worked as an Emergency Physician at St. Francis Hospital until 2019. In addition to his board certification in Emergency Medicine, he achieved board certification in Integrative Medicine and holds certifications in Functional Medicine through the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM) and A4M. His book The Comprehensive Physicians Guide to the Management of PANS and PANDAS was released in February 2024 to excellent reviews. He discovered his calling when he and his wife Ellen, also a Functional and Integrative Medicine physician, battled to correctly diagnose the root-cause of their 12 year old daughter's sudden-onset OCD, insomnia, rage, as PANS. Since then, he has helped hundreds of children recover from PANS and PANDAS, and in 2019 helped to pass a law which prohibits insurance companies in Indiana from denying coverage for medical care (including IVIG) for children with PANS and PANDAS. In this richly informative personable interview, he presents an evidence-based outline of the successful ways to both diagnose and treat PANS and PANDAS, and stresses that they are not nearly as rare as mainstream medicine seems to believe. He decodes complex medical expertise, referencing over 300 clinical studies and peer-reviewed medical literature, that identify biological mechanisms and the root causes that underlie PANS and PANDAS. In this episode, Dr Antoine unravels why PANS/PANDAS can have such a profound, often sudden impact on Children's psychiatric health, and demands that PANS and PANDAS be considered more broadly in psychiatric diagnoses. In this episode you will learn how infections, toxins and the immune system interplay in the expression of harmful psychiatric symptoms, why they cause PANS and PANDAS, and how they can be successfully treated. In this episode learn about: Why PANS and PANDAS are hidden and common root cause of OCD, violent mood swings, depression, anxiety and suicidality, how they are diagnosed, and the role of testing. Why physicians routinely overlook and even deny PANS and PANDAS as a cause of mental health symptoms. Why toxins and infections can trigger PANS and PANDAS and their associated neuropsychiatric symptoms. How Strep is related to autoimmunity and why to treat it even if strep tests are negative. Why a range of infections - not just strep or Lyme borrelia - can trigger neuropsychiatric symptoms (OCD, attention issues, hallucinations, psychosis, depression, suicidal ideation), including other tick-borne co-infections, influenza, Epstein Barr, chlamydia pneumonia and Covid. Ways environmental chemicals, heavy metals, pesticides and mycotoxins (mould) can lead to inflammation and autoimmunity. The concrete link between rheumatic fever and OCD, ADHD, mood issues and psychosis. Other causes of autoimmunity, including genetics, intestinal permeability, infection/T-cell activation and molecular mimicry (the mechanism by which microbes can induce autoimmunity). The 4 vital components of treatment: 1) find and treat infections 2) find and remove toxins 3) re-regulate the immune system 4) break neurological loops (OCD, anxiety). How to treat infections using prolonged use of antibiotics, and which antibiotics to choose. Why herbs (isatis, baicalensis, cat's claw etc) can reduce the duration of antibiotic use, and the studies that prove it. The binders (activated charcoal, zeolites, humic acid) and bitters that help remove toxins. Ways medications (naltrexone and steroids) can help re-regulate the immune system. Why and when IVIG is used for the treatment, why it can relieve and cure symptoms (OCD, anxiety and tics) quickly. How Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) and hypnosis outperforms medications in breaking neurological loops (OCD, anxiety, intrusive thoughts) Other helpful interventions that assist healing; nutrients, diet changes and probiotics.

The variety of practice models in the United States emergency healthcare system is numerous and most of them involve both physicians as well as advanced practice providers (physician assistants and nurse practitioners). Yet, the preparation for how to supervise an APP from a physician perspective, or what to expect from a physician colleague from the APP perspective is not standardized. In this chapter, we sit down with Dr. Eric Boie who is the current medical director for the APP practice at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, as well as Mr. Jeff Wood, PA-C who has been the supervisor of the APPs both in our health system as well in Rochester for nearly a decade until just recently - to discuss our current model of practice, how it supports resident education, how to support APPs autonomy and optimize patient care, how to handle when things don't go as planned and more.

In the second episode of our advocacy mini series with Dr. Anna Yap, we dive into the critical intersection of emergency medicine and immigration health. As emergency physicians, we frequently care for undocumented patients, asylum seekers, and refugees—individuals who face significant barriers to medical care, including fear, cost concerns, and language obstacles. Dr. Ellen Shank, a UC Davis health policy fellow and expert in migrant healthcare, joins us to explore the legal and ethical responsibilities of emergency providers, including how to navigate interactions with immigration enforcement, protect patient rights, and provide trauma-informed care. We'll discuss practical ways physicians can advocate for these vulnerable populations, from facilitating asylum medical exams to supporting protective hospital policies. Tune in for an essential discussion on how emergency physicians can go beyond medical treatment to become informed advocates for their patients in an evolving immigration landscape.

The Gaza ceasefire stands on the edge of a knife. This political and military reality brings back into focus, though it's never gone away, the humanitarian situation in Gaza in the wake of the Israeli state policy of systematically dismantling medical infrastructure with the use of US weaponry and clumsily orchestrated direct action IDF raids on hospitals and hospital staff in the name of “finding Hamas.” To that end, we are joined by Dr. Mimi Syed, a board-certified emergency medicine physician. She is an assistant clinical professor at University of Washington and Washington State University. She is a fellow of the American College of Emergency Physicians.Dr.Syed served in Gaza from August 8 to September 5, 2024, and December 3 to December 31, 2024, at both al-Aqsa Hospital and Nasser Hospital.

Eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any psychiatric illness, yet they are frequently missed in the Emergency Department as they can be elusive. Only one in 246 patients who screen positive for an eating disorder at triage have a chief complaint suggesting it. These patients don't always fit the stereotype—many appear “healthy,” have normal BMI, or present with vague GI, cardiac, or neurological symptoms. Missing the diagnosis has important consequences. The earlier an eating disorder is identified and the earlier that appropriate treatment is initiated the better the long term outcomes. In this episode, with the expertise of Dr. Samantha Martin and Dr. Jennifer Tomlin, we'll break down the essential clinical clues, screening questions, red flags, and subtle exam findings that can help Emergency Physicians diagnose eating disorders early and initiate treatment to decrease mortality and long term morbidity in these young patients. Eating disorders need to be thought of as both a psychiatric condition and medical condition to optimize the pick up rate and appropriate management. Missing or mismanaging eating disorders in the ED means missing an opportunity to save a life and prevent long term morbidity...

We are coming at you with our very first live episode from Perth, Australia! Here at the 2024 Australian Institute of Occupational Hygienists Annual Scientific Conference and Exhibition, occupational hazards and exposures get top billing. And one of the most ubiquitous hazards, experienced by nearly every industry is fatigue, specifically fatigue caused by circadian rhythm disruption. In this very special episode, we explore how our circadian rhythms work and some of the consequences that can emerge when we work against those rhythms, whether that's because we're traveling across many time zones or switching to night shift work. We then dig into the history of circadian rhythm research, from how we first learned about these daily patterns to when their disruption became a routine occurrence. Helping us to navigate some of the alarmist headlines (“your screens are ruining your sleep!”) and biohacker claims (“avoid jet lag with this one simple trick!”) is Ian Dunican, PhD. Dr. Dunican is the Director and Chief Adviser of Melius Consulting, a scientific consultancy undertaking research, consulting, and education, and he also hosts and produces the Sleep4Performance podcast. We also bring on Dr. John Iliff, Emergency Physician and Aeromedical Consultant to share his frightening experience with fatigue after a long shift during his training as a physician.

Today we're diving deep into a retirement strategy that's gaining traction—we'll call it "phased retirement." Instead of the traditional abrupt transition from full-time work to complete leisure, phased retirement allows Emergency Physicians to gradually wind down their careers by transitioning to locum tenens positions. This approach offers a multitude of benefits, both financial and psychological, which we will discuss.

EPISODE #1079 ER PHYSICIAN WITNESSES SHARED-DEATH EXPERIENCES Richard speaks with an experienced emergency physician who shares a series of shared-death experiences and his efforts to help others through the most harrowing challenges of their lives. GUEST: Dr. Jeff O'Driscoll is board certified in internal medicine and is a fellow of the American College of Emergency Physicians. He taught students and residents and served as department chair for eight years, receiving awards and publishing articles on service quality in a busy emergency department. For 25 years, Dr. Jeff cared for patients in the emergency department of a major trauma center. Occasionally, he saw souls leave their bodies at death and communicated with them before they left this realm. Their messages were always filled with love and hope. Dr. Jeff's otherworldly communications began in childhood, after a farm accident took the life of his older brother. Only after he retired from seeing patients did Dr. Jeff begin speaking about his experiences. His award-winning memoir, Not Yet, describes a handful of those unique and life-changing encounters. Dr. Jeff has published in the fields of medical science, theology, history, fiction, biography, spirituality, and children's literature, including his debut novel, Who Buried Achilles?, and his newest novel, Zen's Garden.
