In his teaching on Revelation 18 and 19:10, Nic explains that the apocalyptic visions of Babylon's destruction are not depressing demolitions, but rather God's necessary preparation for re-creation, likening God to a visionary architect restoring the world to its Edenic design. The text uses "Babylon" as a timeless symbol for corrupt human empires driven by the cult of self, independence from God, and the pursuit of excessive luxury, which are ultimately empowered by demonic forces and the Dragon. In contrast to those whose hearts are attached to this doomed city, the church is commanded to "come out" of Babylon—not by physically withdrawing from the world, but by breaking spiritual partnership with its corrupt systems while faithfully interceding for the people still trapped inside. God's ultimate goal is to rescue humanity before judgment falls, leading to the joyous, contrasting scene of Revelation 19, where a great heavenly multitude celebrates the "wedding of the Lamb." Believers are challenged to evaluate which city holds their heart, and are offered practical disciplines—such as Sabbath-keeping, simplicity, and community generosity—to detach from Babylon and prepare themselves, adorned in the righteous acts given by God, for an eternity in the Garden City.

Colin Habberton:- This House Pt. 21 : Flourishing in Exile, Pt. 1: Faith & Work: The Call to Work https://drive.google.com/file/d/1q1Tg3CZJxxEKCNPLmQuxA6BU_WHA4Dut/view?usp=sharing Explores "The Church and the World" through the lens of work, comparing the biblical progression from "The Garden" (Genesis 1–3) to "The Garden City" (Revelation 21 & 22).2 The Unique Planet: It notes the uniqueness of Earth, describing it as a "Garden Planet" with optimal conditions (liquid water, breathable atmosphere, plate tectonics, and a stabilizing moon) that make it the only known world with confirmed living organisms.3 Definitions and Core Principles of Work Contrasting Definitions: The document contrasts Studs Terkel's view of work as a source of "daily humiliations" and physical/spiritual violence with Tim Keller's definition: "Rearranging the raw materials of God's creation to help the world and its people thrive and flourish".4 Core Principles (via Tim Keller): Faithfully Crafted (Melakhah): God modeled work first, making it inherently good and giving all secular jobs the same divine dignity as religious ministry.5 Worship and Service (Avodah): The Hebrew word covers work, worship, and service, establishing careers as acts of devotion aimed at loving neighbors and serving the common good.6 Priestly Stewardship (Shamar): Humans are called to guard, cultivate, and bring order to creation rather than exploit it, unlocking the hidden beauty of the world.7 Underpinned by Rest: Work gives meaning but is not an idol for ultimate identity; regular Sabbath rest is required to maintain health and dependence on God.8 Application to "Our City" (Cape Town) City Profile: Cape Town has a population of 5 million people (1.4 million households), was established in 1652 as a colonial supply station, contains over 3,350 indigenous species within its borders, and is predominantly Christian (80+%).9 Alignment with the Garden City: The city exhibits an interweaving of city and nature, serving as a hub of earthly biodiversity, a convergence of landscape and culture, and a gathering place of nations.10 Tensions/Realities: The presentation highlights a tension between the ideal and reality, noting the need for socio-economic justice, restorative action, peacebuilding, violence prevention, youth mentorship, active reconciliation, and spatial integration.11 Final Reflections (Your Garden) The document concludes with six reflective questions regarding an individual's personal work and spiritual practice:12 Purpose: Identifying what brings joy and what feels like toil if life is viewed as a garden.13 Co-Working: Discerning the personal meaning of the Genesis 1:28 garden mandate.14 Role: Understanding what it means to be a steward and feeling called to it.15 Responsibility: Discerning what to "weed" and what to "seed" in one's calling.16 Season: Recognizing the current phase of one's personal garden (seeking, weeding, seeding, or reaping).17 Practice: Assessing the cultivated rhythms used to connect with God, seek His purpose, and maintain faith.18

Floppy Days 165 - The Sphere Computer, Part 2 with Ben Zotto Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/FloppyDays Sponsors: 8-Bit Classics - https://www.8bitclassics.com/?ref=Floppydays Arcade Shopper - https://www.arcadeshopper.com and https://thekeep.net FutureVision Research - https://www.fvresearch.com/ Tuc's Workbench - https://shop.tucs-workbench.com Hello and welcome to episode 165 of the Floppy Days Podcast, for July, 2026. My name is Randy Kindig and I'm your host for this audio and video tribute to vintage computers and computer history. For those of you listening to these podcasts in order, this month's episode is the second part of the 2-part series on the Sphere, which was introduced in 1975; the same year as the Altair and even before the Apple 1. Once again, I want to reiterate what the Sphere was and why do we care? The Sphere was the first "personal computer," defined as such by Byte Magazine due to its consumer focus and built-in keyboard and monitor. Many computers can claim the moniker of first "personal computer", and rightly so, but this one has the endorsement of an early, well-respected, long-running computer magazine and they have good reason for feeling this way about the Sphere. Once you hear the details, you'll see just how ground-breaking this machine was at a very early period of computer history. Not only that, some of the personal stories behind the machine are simply downright fascinating. Ben Zotto is the undisputed expert on the Sphere in these times, after finding an abandoned machine sitting on the sidewalk and deciding to adopt it and learn more about it. He recently wrote a comprehensive book on the Sphere called "Go Computer Now!" that Ben and I spent a lot of time talking about in the last episode -- which again was the first episode on the Sphere. This episode series actually serves two purposes: first as an interview with Ben to learn more about him and his book, and secondly as an overview of a computer I didn't cover back when I started this podcast back in 2013 with the Altair 8800 and the Apple 1. So, as I said earlier, this will be the second part of a 2-part journey on the Sphere. Last month we talked in great detail with Ben Zotto about how he ended up going down the Sphere rabbit hole and all the great things he's done to promote an important machine that was forgotten in the annals of history. This month, Ben and I go through all the usual topics about the Sphere: history, tech specs, using the machine, current Web sites and a great deal more. I really hope you enjoy hearing more about the Sphere and all the things that Ben has done to fill in the gap in history that used to be occupied by the Sphere!

Neighbors being un-neighborly -- that's nothing new. But up near Bear Lake, some campers got a rude and dangerous surprise from a campground neighbor. A family visiting the K-O-A in Garden City says a man shot a BB gun at their sons... completely unprovoked. With a lot of people planning to head out for the Pioneer Day weekend -- so things will be busy – the Inside Sources hosts talk about the appropriate ways to deal with people you might not like. And just FYI, it doesn't involve shooting.

Our approach is biblical and wholesome, but not intended for singles — especially not for children.We're starting a series to lay the groundwork for reading the Song of Songs with clarity. In this episode we discuss the title, authorship, and the book's unique structure. We share why our approach may feel less traditional (it's really not), yet still honors Scripture and helps couples talk about covenant love and sex without forcing the text into a storyline it never claims to be. why we call it Song of Songs rather than Song of Solomon where the book sits in the Hebrew canon and why it is read at Passover what Solomon's name might signal without proving authorship why Aramaic and historical clues suggest a later composition how poetic devices and double entendre shape meaning and modesty why a narrative plot creates confusion and why an anthology reading fits better how seeing it as a romantic playlist helps couples study and discuss it together Join us at the annual Intimate Covenant Marriage Retreat.

Kevin Milne has just returned from a week-long trip to the Garden City and found himself rather impressed with the experience. He told Jack Tame it's not the Christchurch he once knew – it's a brand-new glittering, uber cool replacement. And with how much he enjoyed himself, he had to recommend anyone listening to consider a holiday or long-weekend stay in the city. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Dave Rennie era of All Blacks rugby has started in winning ways with a 34-32 victory over France in the opening match of the inaugural Nations Championship. New Zealand were made to earn their victory against a well drilled French outfit who never looked out of touching distance, and caused a few nervy moments in the Garden City. Former All Black Lima Sopoaga said it was a good start, but there's room for the team to improve. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Floppy Days 164 - The Sphere, Part 1 with Ben Zotto Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/FloppyDays Sponsors: 8-Bit Classics Arcade Shopper and https://thekeep.net FutureVision Research Tuc's Workbench Hello!!! and welcome to episode 164 of the Floppy Days Podcast, for June, 2026. My name is Randy Kindig and I'm your host for this joy ride through the rewarding hobby of vintage computers and computer history. I have to start off by apologizing, as I'll actually be stepping back in the computer timeline for this episode. Sometimes it happens. My goal from the beginning of this podcast was to go through computers in the approximate order they were released (at least by year). And, I've largely done that with this podcast. However, sometimes a machine comes up that I didn't know about or didn't recognize its importance at the time I put together the list of computers to cover. This month that computer is the Sphere, which was introduced in 1975. That's right, I said 1975. That was the same year as the Altair and even before the Apple 1. What was the Sphere and why do we care? The Sphere was the first "personal computer," defined as such by Byte Magazine due to its consumer focus and built-in keyboard and monitor. Now, I know that many computers can claim the moniker of first "personal computer", and rightly so, but this one has the endorsement of an early, well-respected, long-running computer magazine and they have good reason for feeling this way about the Sphere. Once you hear the details, you'll see just how ground-breaking this machine was at a very early period of computer history. Not only that, some of the personal stories behind the machine are simply downright fascinating. Ben Zotto is the undisputed expert on the Sphere in these times, after finding an abandoned machine sitting on the sidewalk and deciding to adopt it and learn more about it. He recently wrote a comprehensive book on the Sphere called "Go Computer Now!" that I mentioned the last episode I had acquired. Well, I ended up reading that book cover-to-cover and really enjoying it. So much so that I decided to contact Ben and see if he would be willing to come onto the podcast to talk about his book and the Sphere Computer. Thankfully, he was. This podcast actually serves two purposes: first as an interview with Ben to learn more about him and his book, and secondly as an overview of a computer I didn't cover back when I started this podcast back in 2013 with the Altair 8800 and the Apple 1. So, this will be a 2-part journey on the Sphere. This month we talk in great detail with Ben Zotto about how he ended up going down the Sphere rabbit hole and all the great things he's done to promote an important machine that was forgotten in the annals of history. Next month, Ben and I go through all the usual topics about the Sphere: history, tech specs, using the machine, current Web sites and a great deal more. I really hope you enjoy hearing about the Sphere and meeting Ben Zotto!

Jake finishes our series "The Story of God: Restoration" by teaching on The Garden City.
In this episode, host Helen Bywater-Smith sits down with two leading experts to explore an underutilized yet deeply powerful sensory touchpoint: scent. • Dan Terry Jacobson, Founder of Oola Lab, a craft neuroscent studio that designs fragrances to influence mood, cognition, and emotional balance. • Annamaria Foldes, Head of Mystery Shopping and MSU at Ipsos Switzerland, an expert in retail and luxury execution. Together, they unpack the fascinating science behind olfaction, revealing how bypassing the rational brain to trigger immediate emotional connections can dramatically improve advocacy, satisfaction, and your Return on CX Investment. What You'll Learn in This Episode:• The Neuroscience of Memory & Emotion: Discover why humans process scent directly within the limbic system, allowing us to recall sensory memories from early childhood with vivid, mouth-watering clarity. • Sensory Branding in Action: Go behind the scenes of real-world experience scripts, including translating Singapore's "Garden City" identity into a signature orchid scent for Changi Airport, using fragrance to truncate the perceived travel time for public transit commuters, and crafting intentionally terrifying aromas for Universal Studios' Halloween Horror Nights. • Elevating Healthcare, Retail, and the Workplace: Learn how sectors are shifting from clinical sanitisation to holistic wellness; such as how a private hospital successfully utilized outdoor fragrance profiles to transition its brand image from a clinical space to a restorative, hotel-like environment. "When it's designed well, scent doesn't shout. It becomes a natural part of the experience, of the environment. And it becomes a brand asset." — Dan Terry Jacobson Whether you are a customer experience professional, an employee experience leader, or a retail design expert, this episode offers vital insights into creating authentic, collaborative, and human-centric spaces that resonate on a biological level.
Paul tells the Galatians to "walk around in the Spirit" but his point is that the Spirit is more than a means to something better. The Spirit is the source itself. Walking through Galatians 5 we see a life where believers walk about unshackled, out of chaos we receive one fruit, and we are walking toward Eden. Along the way we see the sin we rarely admit: trying to "program our way out of our flesh" through accountability and discipline. But because of Christ's finished work, we don't live in chaos, fear, and self-destruction. We do not need our own self-will. We are free and even better, we are not alone. SMALL GROUP QUESTIONS Where do you, or the culture around you, hold the belief that growth is mainly self-improvement and restraint, rather than walking toward the Spirit as the source? What is your "concrete block" like Kiki the Gorilla? What is it you hold onto in anger, but in the freedom of the Spirit can lay down as a new creation? How do we see Christ's finished work walking us past Eden into a garden city, the New Heavens and New Earth--to a world being remade?
"When I say she vanished off the face of this earth, I mean that."At 9:44 PM on Thursday, May 29th, 2025, 15-year-old Kylie Arellano sent her mother a text that read simply "I love you, Mama. Goodnight." Her mother, Stephanie Coleman, replied "I love you too, baby girl." Eight minutes later, Kylie's phone went dark.The last signal placed the device approximately three hundred feet from the family's home in Garden City, Utah. After that, nothing. Kylie was last spotted without shoes near her home, carrying a suitcase with a skull print. The direction she was headed was toward nearby Logan Canyon...If you have any information about this story that you'd like to share, please reach through the following methods (reference the case number, 25-R308):Rich County Sheriff's Office: +14357932285Email: secretary@richcounty.govLearn more about this podcast at http://unresolved.meCheck out the podcast store at unresolved.dashery.comIf you would like to support this podcast, consider heading to https://www.patreon.com/unresolvedpod to become a Patron or ProducerBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unresolved-a-true-crime-mystery-podcast--3266604/support.

The Core Crisis & The 4% Tax Cap The Deficit: Cranston is facing a structural deficit of approximately $10 million. The City General Fund reserve recently fell from 8.2% to 5.3%, drawing sharp warnings from Rhode Island Auditor General David Bergantino. The First Rejection: On April 29, 2026, the City Council unanimously rejected Mayor Ken Hopkins’ original $352 million budget plan, which called for a 7.4% tax levy increase to cover the gap. Going above the state-mandated 4% cap would require the council to petition the RI General Assembly. The Revised Budget: Mayor Hopkins subsequently submitted a revised plan strictly adhering to the 4% tax levy cap. However, this has triggered heavy pushback due to steep cuts: Complete suspension of operations at the Cranston Senior Center. Level-funding for Cranston Public Schools. Elimination of police transcriptionist and parks positions, and zero administrative raises. Councilor Frank Ritz's Position Councilman Ritz (Ward 4) has positioned himself as an advocate for exhausted local corrective actions before taking drastic structural measures or looking outside city hall for help. 1. Opposing a State Budget Commission When residents and local commentary floated the idea of bringing in a state-appointed budget commission to intervene in Cranston’s messy finances, Ritz joined fellow councilors in firmly rejecting it: "I believe Cranston should carefully consider every option available to address the City's growing financial challenges, including the possibility of requesting state oversight if conditions continue to deteriorate. However, a state-appointed budget commission is a significant step that would reduce local control over financial decisions, and I do not believe the City has exhausted all local corrective measures at this point." 2. Focus on "In-House" Solutions & Compromise Ritz has backed the council’s push for collaborative, line-by-line reallocations rather than accepting the Mayor's slash-and-burn approach to senior services. The council recently maneuvered to pull together roughly $2 million in reallocated funds to split between restoring portions of the Senior Center budget and assisting the School Department. What the Council is Looking at Next (Show Talking Points) As the final June 1 deadline approaches, the council is pivoting from pure cuts to generating alternative local revenue: Fee Increases: Several municipal fee hikes have already been approved to drive immediate cash flow. Speed Cameras: Council leadership is floating the introduction of speed enforcement cameras in high-speed school zones (such as Garden City), which could yield an estimated $1 million to $2 million annually. Tiered Commercial Taxes: A proposal is being weighed to create a multi-tiered commercial property tax structure, allowing the city to protect small local businesses while leaning slightly more on larger commercial entities.

What does success in medicine really look like? In this heartfelt final episode of Succeed in Medicine, Dr. Bradley Block reflects on the seven-and-a-half-year journey of building a podcast dedicated to helping physicians grow as communicators, leaders, and human beings. As he steps away from podcasting to focus on his newly elected position on the board of his nearly 300-physician practice, Dr. Brad shares the lessons, insights, and personal growth that shaped both his career and his understanding of success. He discusses why he started the podcast in the first place: to ask questions he didn't have answers to and learn directly from experts about communication, leadership, burnout, parenting, financial planning, and the business of medicine. Along the way, those conversations transformed not only his perspective but also the trajectory of his professional life. Brad opens up about burnout, overcommitting, side hustles, physician identity, and the “arrival fallacy” that convinces physicians happiness always exists in the next milestone. He also shares practical communication strategies for building trust with patients and emphasizes the importance of intentional living, meaningful work, and aligning your time with your values. More than a farewell, this episode is a reflection on growth, purpose, and what it truly means to succeed, not by titles or achievements alone, but by spending your time in ways that are meaningful, fulfilling, and aligned with who you want to become. Top 3 Takeaways: Success Is Alignment, Not Achievement Alone: Dr. Brad redefines success as spending your time intentionally, consistently with your values, and aligned with your purpose. Career milestones and titles may matter, but fulfillment comes from engaging daily in work and relationships that genuinely feel meaningful and energizing. Communication in Medicine Is About Building Trust: Excellent physician communication is not simply about gathering information, it is about creating trust. Patients need to feel seen, heard, and cared for as human beings. Small actions like eye contact, emotional validation, and intentional presence dramatically improve both patient experience and physician satisfaction. The Arrival Fallacy Keeps Physicians Chasing Happiness: Many physicians believe success will come after the next promotion, title, or accomplishment. But waiting for future milestones delays fulfillment. Instead of constantly chasing the next achievement, physicians can build meaningful lives now by intentionally pursuing work, relationships, and activities that align with their purpose.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, host Tom Betti is joined by three special guests - Pan Am flight attendant Karen Walker Ryan and adoptees Carol Mason and Dr. Matt Steiner - to mark the 51st anniversary of Operation Babylift, the frantic evacuation ordered by U.S. President Gerald R. Ford of Vietnamese war orphans in the final days of Saigon in 1975.But this episode is about more than history. It is about what happens to people after history moves through them. It is about memory, identity, and the bonds that form in the most unlikely of circumstances. It is about three people whose lives were bound together by a single flight fifty years ago - and who have never let go of each other since.Karen Walker Ryan served as a Pan Am flight attendant from 1969 to 1978. She volunteered to fly into Saigon in the final days of the war, and her photograph holding baby Carol Mason was later published on the cover of Reader's Digest. Karen has stayed in close contact with several of the children from that flight ever since. Her story, and her decades-long bond with Carol and Matt, was featured on ABC's Good Morning America and ABC's 20/20.Carol Mason was five months old when she was airlifted out of Vietnam on the second Operation Babylift flight. She grew up in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, and learned about her own story at age 25 when her mother spotted Karen's photograph in a magazine. Hers is a story about what it means to search for yourself - and what you find when you finally do.Dr. Matthew Steiner was born in Vientiane, Laos in 1966 and raised in a Saigon orphanage before being evacuated to the United States at age nine through Operation Babylift. He went on to become a high school valedictorian, and today serves as an emergency physician helping patients facing life-threatening conditions. The boy who once needed saving, now doing the saving. This episode also features an original song, "Waking Up American," performed by Jared Rehberg - himself a Babylift adoptee - at the Pan Am Museum's 50th Anniversary event in Garden City, New York. Jared composed the song years earlier as a meditation on growing up between two worlds, and it is the only way this episode could end.Please watch the 13-minute documentary Operation Babylift: A Celebration of the Human Spirit.Support the showVisit Us for more Pan Am History!

Being on the caregiver side of complex, rare disease care reveals critical gaps in our healthcare system, even for two physician parents with strong connections. In this powerful follow-up episode of Succeed In Medicine, host Dr. Bradley Block welcomes back Dr. Heather Gatcombe, as she recounts her family's journey: her son's initial metabolic stroke-like episodes at age 7, the five-year path to a definitive mitochondrial disease diagnosis (including a muscle biopsy and eventual identification of a pathogenic variant), sudden heart failure at age 11 during the COVID-19 pandemic, ECMO, LVAD placement, and successful heart transplant. She openly discusses the immense challenges of hospital discharge with an LVAD when no pediatric rehab would accept him, managing tube feeds and alarms at home without adequate home health support, and the frustration of subtle symptoms like throat clearing being overlooked as a sign of heart failure. Dr. Gatcombe also reflects on moments where she felt her family wasn't fully heard, and the lasting impact of those experiences. Throughout the conversation, she shares how this journey has made her a more empathetic and effective clinician, particularly in communicating uncertainty, avoiding premature reassurance, listening to parental intuition, ensuring robust discharge planning with support services, and staying curious even when a diagnosis remains elusive. This episode offers practical lessons for all physicians on improving communication, supporting families through diagnostic uncertainty, preparing patients for safe transitions home, and the power of transparency and advocacy in rare disease care. Three Actionable Takeaways: Communicate uncertainty honestly and compassionately: When the diagnosis isn't clear yet, be transparent about what you know and don't know. Offer guidance on next steps, second opinions, and support resources rather than premature reassurance that may later need to be walked back. Prioritize discharge planning and support services: The transition from hospital to home is one of the most vulnerable periods. Ensure patients and families have home health, equipment (wheelchair, shower chair, etc.), dietician and nurse navigator follow-up, and clear instructions before discharge, especially for medically complex cases. Listen to patients and families as the experts on their own bodies: Parental intuition and lived experience matter. When a child or family member expresses concern, even if it seems outside the norm, take it seriously, investigate, and avoid dismissing it. Follow up after adverse events when possible to maintain trust. About the Show: Succeed In Medicine covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more.

In his Easter sermon, Andrew uses the object lesson of a torn and restored piece of paper to illustrate how the resurrection of Jesus possesses the power to take broken lives and make them whole. The biblical narrative deliberately places the empty tomb in a garden to parallel the Garden of Eden, symbolizing God's overarching mission to repair the spiritual disconnection caused by human rebellion. By appearing first to Mary Magdalene—a woman who lived in constant shame—the resurrected Christ demonstrates a divine reversal where the sinful are made holy through grace rather than human achievement. Rather than merely proving His victory to a crowd, Jesus steps intimately into human grief, calling individuals by name to offer healing and hope. Ultimately, the resurrection is presented not just as a historical event, but as an ongoing reality where the life of heaven actively colonizes earth, inviting everyone into a restored relationship with God before the final promise of a renewed Garden City.

A subpoena from the Department of Justice isn't just paperwork, it's a powerful tool that can drain resources, intimidate providers, and threaten patient care. In this eye-opening episode of Succeed In Medicine, host Dr. Bradley Block welcomes back Dr. Crystal Beal, along with Adrian Levitt from the ACLU of Washington. In June 2025, Dr. Beal's small private practice received one of over 20 identical DOJ subpoenas targeting providers of gender-affirming care for adolescents. While large institutions like Boston Children's, Seattle Children's, and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia also received subpoenas, the impact on a solo practitioner is uniquely daunting. Dr. Beal describes the anti-climactic moment the subpoena arrived via their accountant and the immediate decision to fight it with pro bono support from the ACLU, Arnold & Porter, and Perkins Coie. The conversation unpacks the broader context: the Supreme Court's decision in United States v. Skrmetti, executive actions, funding cuts, and the federal government's stated goal of ending gender-affirming care for minors. Adrian explains how the DOJ is using the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA) in a novel way, traditionally applied to drug manufacturers, to investigate individual physicians. The subpoena demanded extensive records, including patient names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, training materials, and communications with pharmaceutical reps. Throughout the episode, they emphasize their ethical obligation as a physician to provide evidence-based, life-saving care and reflect on the deeper moral questions raised by this moment in history. Three Actionable Takeaways: Know your rights and secure legal support early: If you receive a government subpoena or face regulatory pressure, contact organizations like the ACLU or the Abortion Defense Network immediately. Do not assume you must comply right away. Document and practice ethically, but prepare for scrutiny: Continue providing medically necessary, evidence-based care while understanding that political targeting of certain specialties is increasing. Build relationships with legal counsel before crises hit. Speak up and combat misinformation: Physicians have a unique platform in their communities. Learn about gender-affirming care if it's within your scope, talk openly with colleagues and patients, and stand against efforts to criminalize or restrict legitimate medical practice. About the Show: Succeed In Medicine covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more. If you're tired of dull medical lectures, tune in for real-world lessons we should have learned in med school!

Akhil and Andy visit a high school in Garden City, NY, to speak with outstanding high school students about Born Equal. In the process, we trace one of America's great credos - “All Men Are Created Equal” - from the Founding, all the way to Lincoln - and beyond, to the fourteenth amendment; and finally to birthright citizenship and next week's momentous Supreme Court case, Trump v. Barbara. The students' great questions help show the way. CLE credit is available for lawyers and judges from podcast.njsba.com.
What if a patient's multisystem symptoms, unexplained strokes, or exercise intolerance point to mitochondrial disease, but it takes 5–10 years and multiple specialists to confirm? In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Bradley Block speaks with Dr. Heather Gatcombe. As both a physician and the mother of a son with mitochondrial disease, leading to metabolic strokes, heart failure, and transplant, Dr. Gatcombe shares her family's journey, from a terrifying stroke-like episode at age 7, through years of uncertainty, negative initial genetic testing, muscle biopsy confirmation, and eventual identification of a novel nuclear DNA mutation. They explore the heterogeneity of primary mitochondrial diseases, why presentation ranges from infancy lethality to adult-onset fatigue, and key red flags: multisystem involvement, symptom worsening with metabolic stressors, and misdiagnoses like chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, or psychiatric conditions. The discussion covers workup, multidisciplinary care, perioperative risks, and treatment. They stress the power of early diagnosis: better empathy, treatment changes, support groups, and hope with new therapies in the pipeline. Clinicians in every specialty need awareness, especially anesthesiologists, surgeons, and hospitalists, to prevent crises. Three Actionable Takeaways: Spot the Warning Signs Early: Look for patients with symptoms in 3 or more organ systems, unexplained strokes or seizures, diabetes and hearing loss, brain lesions in basal ganglia, or symptoms that worsen with stress like fever, fasting, or surgery. Send them quickly to a geneticist or mitochondrial specialist for testing. Free options exist at umdf.org Protect Patients During Surgery or Procedures: For anyone known to have mitochondrial disease, talk to their mitochondrial specialist first. Avoid long fasting, dehydration, or extreme temperatures. Some need IV glucose before procedures and special care with anesthesia or certain drugs to prevent a dangerous metabolic crisis.

Raising awareness helps cut the long wait for diagnosis, gives patients validation, better care, and access to emerging FDA-approved therapies.
