    In this powerful birth story episode, Trish sits down with a VBAC Lab student, Kelly Coy, a physician assistant and new mama to baby Carter (who makes a few adorable cameo coos!). Kelly opens up about her traumatic first birth - an unnecessary 38-week induction that ended in a 3-day labor, C-section, postpartum hemorrhage, and a grueling 7-day hospital stay - and how that experience lit a fire in her to prepare differently the second time around.Join the Calm Mama Membership: labornursemama.com/cmsLeave a review and include your Instagram username for a chance to win our monthly raffle!Even as a medical professional herself, Kelly felt unprepared to advocate against a system that pushed induction too soon. Determined to have the redemptive VBAC she knew her body was capable of, she joined The VBAC Lab before she was even pregnant (classic Type-A move!) and soaked up every lesson, hangout, and community conversation.In this episode you'll hear:Why she chose to decline baby aspirin despite provider pressure (and how that decision played out)How the monthly VBAC Happy Hours gave her the confidence and community she needed to navigate tricky decisionsThe night her water broke on its own at 40+1, a 36+ hour labor, laboring in the tub, and an 8-cm epidural that only halfway workedThe surreal moment she reached down and pulled her son Carter onto her chest herselfThe massive difference in recovery between her C-section and this vaginal birth (yes, even with second-degree tears)Why mindset, processing previous birth trauma, and knowing your “why” are absolutely everything when chasing a VBACKelly's one-word review of The VBAC Lab?“Empowering.” If you're a mama dreaming of a redemptive VBAC, this episode will leave you fired up, educated, and ready to fight for the birth you deserve.More from this episode: Join the VBAC LabJoin the Calm Mama MembershipJoin the #1 Birth Course for Confident Birth!Over 15,000 women have used our classes to prepare for birth with the knowledge and tools provided by a Labor Nurse.

        Unlock the secrets of military medicine and simulation technology with insights from two leading experts, retired Air Force Chief Master Sergeant Jason Robbins and Lou Oberndorf, CEO of Operative Experience Incorporated. Discover how these trailblazers have navigated the evolution of medical simulation, turning traditional training on its head and preparing medics for the chaotic and high-pressure environments they may face. Their stories reveal the critical role that high-fidelity simulators play in equipping healthcare professionals with the skills needed to manage physiological disparities, chaos control, and patient responsibility.     In a riveting conversation about the advancement of simulation technology, Jason and Lou explore the transition from traditional mentorship to cutting-edge, AI-driven simulators. By weaving personal experiences with industry shifts, they illuminate how medical education has undergone a dramatic transformation over the past 30 years. Their discourse reveals the monumental challenges and triumphs of integrating simulation technologies into both military and civilian healthcare settings, with a focus on the unique demands of combat medicine and on how AI is poised to further revolutionize this field.     Jason and Lou discuss the pressing need for anatomically accurate simulators, particularly for female soldiers. They provide an eye-opening look at how these innovations are dismantling social and psychological barriers and are vital for training efficacy. They candidly discuss the psychological toll of combat on healthcare providers and the irreplaceable value of real-life experience, underscoring that while simulation is a bridge for skill development, it cannot fully substitute the lessons learned from treating real patients. Join us in this compelling episode to understand how simulation is not just a tool but a pivotal element in preparing medics for the unforgiving realities of the battlefield.   Chapters: (00:04) Evolution of Military Medicine Simulation (09:55) Advancing Medical Simulation in Healthcare (17:31) Simulation Training in Special Operations (23:17) Medical Simulation Advancements for Training (36:17) Military Simulation Technology and AI (49:20) Preparing Military Medics with Simulation   Chapter Summaries: (00:04) Evolution of Military Medicine Simulation   Military medics discuss simulation technology, physiological disparities, and leadership lessons in chaotic environments.   (09:55) Advancing Medical Simulation in Healthcare   Commercialization of medical simulation technology, its integration into military medicine, and its impact on patient care.   (17:31) Simulation Training in Special Operations   Simulation, training standards, and cultural barriers are addressed in AFSOC's journey to improve special operations medical training.   (23:17) Medical Simulation Advancements for Training   Female simulators provide safe and effective training for military medics, addressing gender disparities and ensuring consistency.   (36:17) Military Simulation Technology and AI   AI has the potential to enhance medical simulation, with challenges in technology development and differences between military and civilian healthcare settings.   (49:20) Preparing Military Medics With Simulation   Medical simulators prepare healthcare professionals for combat trauma, but cannot replace real-life experience.   Take Home Messages: The Role of Medical Simulation in Military Medicine: The episode highlights the transformative impact of medical simulation technology on military medicine, emphasizing its role in preparing medics for high-stress and austere environments. It underscores how advancements in simulation, particularly with the integration of artificial intelligence, have enhanced the realism and effectiveness of medical training. Evolution from Defense to Healthcare: The conversation traces the journey of medical simulation technology from its origins in defense innovation during the early '90s to its widespread adoption in both military and civilian healthcare settings. This transition has replaced traditional mentorship models with high-fidelity simulators, revolutionizing medical education and training. Advancements in Anatomically Accurate Simulators: A significant development discussed is the creation of anatomically accurate female simulators, which address social and psychological barriers in medical training. These innovations ensure that medics are better prepared for real-world scenarios, particularly in treating female soldiers, thereby improving training efficacy. Continuous Training and Readiness: The importance of continuous training to maintain readiness is emphasized, especially in the context of military medicine where skill erosion can occur between conflicts. Simulation technology provides a safe environment for medics to practice and refine their skills, ensuring they are prepared for future challenges. Ethical Considerations in Simulation Technology: The episode also touches on the ethical and moral considerations in developing realistic simulation technologies. While simulators are essential for skill development, they cannot fully replicate the emotional and psychological challenges of real-life trauma, highlighting the need for a balanced approach in training methodologies.   Episode Keywords: military medics, trauma training, high-fidelity simulators, Operative Experience Incorporated, Jason Robbins, Lou Orberndorf, anatomical simulators, female simulators, training technology, medical education, combat medicine, civilian healthcare, simulation technology, patient care, chaos management, medical training, military healthcare, podcast episode   Hashtags: #wardocs #military #medicine #podcast #MilMed #MedEd #MilitaryMedicine #MedicalSimulation #CombatCare #HealthcareInnovation #AIMedicalTraining #CivilianHealthcare #MilitaryMedics #TraumaTraining #MedicalTechnology #SimulationAdvancements **This episode was supported by an educational grant provided by Operative Experience Inc.** 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.
