After years of hearing traumatic birth stories and questioning whether parenthood was right for her, Heidi Gustad entered pregnancy determined to make informed decisions every step of the way. When she was diagnosed with insulin-managed gestational diabetes, debilitating migraines, and a rare umbilical cord abnormality called an umbilical vein varix, the birth center birth she had envisioned was suddenly no longer an option.   In this episode, Heidi shares how evidence-based education, a supportive care team, and careful preparation helped her navigate unexpected changes with confidence. She and Dr. Dekker discuss what it was like to advocate for herself through multiple diagnoses, switch care providers late in pregnancy, and prepare for a hospital birth while still hoping for an unmedicated labor. Heidi also shares the surprising series of events that led to spontaneous labor before her scheduled induction, and how she welcomed her baby after a fast, nine-hour labor.   (01:36) Overcoming a lifelong fear of pregnancy and choosing parenthood (05:13) Navigating migraines, gestational diabetes, and changing providers (08:52) Risking out of birth center care and finding the right hospital (11:11) Understanding a rare umbilical vein varix diagnosis (17:47) Building confidence through education, advocacy, and a supportive birth team (21:59) Preparing for birth with physical therapy, acupuncture, and evidence-based resources (25:50) Spontaneous labor begins weeks before a scheduled induction (32:02) Coping strategies for a fast, unmedicated labor (37:19) Postpartum recovery and breastfeeding (40:42) Heidi's advice on informed decision-making and birth preferences (43:06) Using anxiety and pain-coping techniques during labor   Resources Listen to EBB's Natural Induction Series on Acupuncture, Raspberry Red Leaf Tea, and Nipple Stimulation: evidencebasedbirth.com/category/series/natural-labor-induction-series/ EBB 304 – Q & A on PPD/Pitocin, Delayed Cord Clamping, Nubain, and Placental encapsulation: evidencebasedbirth.com/ebb-304-q-and-a-on-ppd-pitocin-delayed-cord-clamping-nubain-and-placental-encapsulation/ Read the research on Umbilical Chord Varix Fetal intra-abdominal umbilical vein varix: retrospective cohort study and systematic review and meta-analysis: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28876490/ Isolated fetal umbilical vein varix and the association with intrauterine fetal death and fetal growth restriction: A systematic review, meta-analysis, and nested retrospective cohort study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38502055/ The Development of the Umbilical Vein and Its Anatomical and Clinical Significance: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11954436/ Learn more about Spinning Babies®: spinningbabies.com   For more information about Evidence Based Birth and a crash course on evidence based care, visit www.ebbirth.com.

More than twenty years ago, Henci Goer's renowned book, The Thinking Woman's Guide to a Better Birth, profoundly shaped Cynthia's understanding of pregnancy and birth, setting her on the path that eventually led to her own natural births and a career in birth education and client advocacy. In this special conversation, we sit down with the author herself, now one of the most influential voices in evidence-based maternity care.Today, we discuss Henci's newest book, Taking Charge of Your Birth, along with evidence-based maternity care, physiologic birth, induction, cesarean prevention, and informed decision-making. Henci explains why "physiologic care" is about using the least intervention necessary—not avoiding intervention altogether—and why preserving a woman's agency may be one of the most important factors in creating a positive birth experience.We also explore the evidence surrounding induction, Bishop scores, Pitocin protocols, cesarean rates, choosing a care provider, the role of doulas, and why preserving a woman's agency may be one of the most important factors in creating a positive birth experience.Whether you're planning a home birth, birth center birth, or hospital birth, this conversation offers practical, evidence-based guidance for taking charge of your birth.Choosing Induction: When it Might Be NeededHenci Goer's Website, Books, & ArticlesHenci Goer on Instagram**********Send us Fan Mail Support the showAccess our workshops: Have a Physiologic Birth in the Hospital and Ultrasound: The Research vs RhetoricNeeded

A Massachusetts State Police trooper walked the jury through the hours after Lindsay Clancy arrived at South Shore Hospital today, and it sounded less like a hospital admission and more like a custody transfer. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, is on trial for the January 24, 2023 deaths of her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — allegedly strangled with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and her attorney Kevin Reddington is running an insanity defense built on claims of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Trooper Dan Lawlor testified he served an evidence preservation order at the hospital and personally collected Clancy's clothing and jewelry, along with additional evidence. On cross, he confirmed she arrived without shoes. Then came the line that reframes the whole scene: Lawlor said he was stationed there to "maintain custody" of Clancy, which meant no visitors — not her lawyer, not anyone — until a court order allowed a psychiatrist in to see her. A hospital room, sealed off by court order. Sit with that for a second.Prosecutors maintain Clancy understood what she was doing regardless of her mental state. Clancy allegedly attempted suicide after the killings by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court and is expected to run several weeks.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this episode of the Explaining History Podcast, we are joined by John McDonagh, professor of practice at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, former Massachusetts state legislator, and key architect of Obamacare. He is here to discuss his new book, America's Wrong Turn: U.S. Healthcare in the Neoliberal Era – a searing diagnosis of how a revolution in economic thinking turned the American healthcare system into a global outlier.The United States spends more on healthcare than any other advanced nation – by a staggering margin – yet its health outcomes rank near the bottom. Life expectancy has been declining since 1980. The infant mortality rate is embarrassingly high. And while every other wealthy country covers 99–100% of its citizens, the U.S. still leaves millions uninsured.John explains how a single chart – showing U.S. healthcare spending as a percentage of GDP – reveals the story. In 1980, the U.S. was the highest spender but still in the pack. Then something happened. Around 1982–83, the U.S. "jackrabbited" away from every other nation. The culprit? The neoliberal revolution – the ideas of Milton Friedman, Friedrich Hayek, and the Mont Pelerin Society – that captured American policy under Ronald Reagan and transformed healthcare from a public good into a site of value extraction.John traces how monopoly capitalism, private equity, and the mantra of "maximising shareholder value" have hollowed out the system. Hospitals are bought by private equity firms, stripped of their land and buildings, and turned into tenants paying exorbitant rents. Two companies now control 90% of dialysis care. Antitrust enforcement has collapsed. The result is a system that Americans hate – but feel powerless to change.Yet John is an optimist. He argues that the feedback loop of public revulsion is building, and that the neoliberal era – though its effects persist – is over. The seeds of hope lie in renewed antitrust activism, grassroots organising, and the eventual replacement of a corrupt administration.Topics covered:U.S. healthcare spending vs. outcomesThe 1980s inflection pointThe neoliberal revolution and its key thinkersMonopoly capitalism in healthcarePrivate equity and value extractionThe collapse of antitrust enforcementMilton Friedman's "shareholder value" doctrineThe NHS and the politics of healthcareHope for reformJohn McDonagh's America's Wrong Turn is published by Johns Hopkins University Press.

In the early morning hours of January 27, 2023, 19-year-old Artesia High School senior and cheerleader Alexee Trevizo arrived at Artesia General Hospital in New Mexico complaining of severe back pain. She was with her mother. Staff administered medications, including narcotics. Shortly afterward, Trevizo used a bathroom down the hall. Hospital housekeeping later discovered the body of a newborn boy in a plastic bag inside the bathroom trash can. An autopsy determined the infant—later named Alex Ray Fierro—had been born alive, had air in his lungs, and died from hypoxia consistent with being sealed in the bag. The manner of death was ruled a homicide. Morphine was also detected in the baby's system. Trevizo was eventually charged with first-degree murder and tampering with evidence. Prosecutors pointed to statements she allegedly made in her hospital room after the discovery, captured on police body cameras while a doctor and armed officers were present: words to the effect of “I'm sorry—it came out of me—I didn't know what to do,” along with claims the baby showed no movement or breathing.What followed has become one of the more closely watched legal fights in recent New Mexico true-crime cases. A district court suppressed those hospital statements and related video, citing physician-patient privilege and Trevizo's compromised medical condition (narcotics, significant blood loss, the trauma of an unexpected delivery). In a unanimous July 30, 2026 ruling, the New Mexico Supreme Court upheld the suppression.Justices described the doctor's approach—bringing officers into the room and disclosing medical information without warning—as an “ambush” and found Trevizo lacked the capacity to waive confidentiality. Prosecutors have said they still intend to pursue the case without that evidence. The defense maintains Trevizo did not know she was pregnant until she gave birth and contests key aspects of the medical findings and hospital response. A separate wrongful-death lawsuit has also been filed against the hospital and staff on behalf of the infant's estate.This episode examines the night at the hospital, the autopsy findings, the suppressed statements, the Supreme Court's blistering critique of how the confrontation unfolded, and the difficult questions the case continues to raise about pregnancy denial, medical privacy, and accountability when a newborn dies under these circumstances. The case remains pending.Chapters:06:02 ER Visit Turns Critical11:31 Bathroom Visit Sparks Suspicion20:07 Horrific Discovery in the Trash33:34 Autopsy Changes Everything45:56 Arrest Warrant Is Issued52:13 Murder Charge Under FireExposed Listener Deals!

In this episode, I'm joined by Tanya Chomyk, author of Bringing Light to Loss, for a deeply moving conversation about grief, loss, resilience, and finding our way forward when life changes in ways we never expected.Tanya shares her deeply personal journey of losing her infant son and the many years it took to find meaning in that loss. We talk about allowing ourselves to truly feel our emotions, creating anchors to hold onto when life feels unsteady, and learning to have a relationship with grief rather than trying to push it away.Tanya also introduces her powerful distinction between “clean pain” and “dirty pain,” and shares her five-step approach to navigating loss and major life transitions: creating a safe space to feel, practicing self-compassion, finding moments of joy and gratitude, seeking connection when we're ready, and pacing our pain.This is a conversation about love, loss, healing, and the quiet ways resilience is built over time. And perhaps most importantly, it's a reminder that we don't have to see the light right away. Sometimes, we simply need to take the next breath, trust the process, and allow healing to unfold quietly.About Tanya ChomykTania Chomyk is a life transition expert, award-winning resilience speaker, and grief educator. With over 30 years of experience in higher education, career development, and personal growth, she helps people move through life's toughest moments with clarity, courage, and compassion. Her work is rooted in both lived experience and professional expertise. After losing her infant son unexpectedly, Tania's world shifted. That loss became the spark for a new path—one focused on healing with purpose and supporting others through grief, major life changes, and the journey of finding themselves again. Her debut book, Bringing Light to Loss, is a powerful reflection on grief, love, and the strength it takes to rebuild your life.

Rich Morgan graduated from the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1998, completed his residency at NYU Rusk Medical Center in 2002, and had everything a decade of medical school and training was supposed to produce — until a common dental procedure exposed him to opioids and changed the direction of everything he had spent his career building. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, he shares what the ten year opioid addiction that followed that dental procedure actually looked like, what writing fraudulent prescriptions to pharmacies to fuel his addiction and eventually selling prescriptions to drug dealers actually involved, what getting caught after a customer cooperated with the government actually felt like, and what being sentenced to 168 months in federal prison as a doctor — and navigating the federal system as a Jewish inmate — actually required of him before he was finally ready to rebuild what the addiction and the federal system had taken. _____________________________________________ #doctor #prison #truecrimestories _____________________________________________ Thank you to HIMS & FACTOR for sponsoring this episode: Hims: Visit https://hims.com/lockedin to get a personalized, affordable plan that gets you. _____________________________________________ Factor: Head to https://factormeals.com/lockedin50off and use code lockedin50off to get 50 percent off and 1 free breakfast item per box for 1 year, while supplies last until! _____________________________________________ Connect with Rich Morgan: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/richmorgan8761/?hl=en LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-morgan-b45366143 _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps:  00:00 Introducing Rich Morgan 00:16 Growing Up on Long Island 01:04 Parents and Early Life 01:51 Dreaming of Medicine 02:17 The Incident That Inspired Him 03:33 Fascination with Fixing 04:33 Medical Shows and College 05:31 College and Med School 06:18 What is a DO? 08:46 DO vs MD Schooling 09:57 The Growing Prevalence of DOs 11:05 Salary and Residency 12:15 The First Pill 14:09 The Spiral Begins 15:12 The First Pill Experience 17:19 Dentists and Overprescription 19:30 Writing Himself Prescriptions 21:39 Life at the Height of Addiction 23:12 9/11 and Its Impact 26:10 Sponsor Break: Weight Loss by HIMS 27:33 No Oversight in Hospitals 28:56 Pharmaceutical Wild West 31:16 Self-Image and Dope Sickness 33:16 Patients and Slipping Up 38:53 The Deal with a Dangerous Patient 40:49 Arrest and the Fallout 44:00 Sponsor Break: Factor Meals 46:01 Released on Bail 49:01 Sentenced to 14 Years 52:32 Why No Manslaughter Charge? 56:56 The Real Reason for Selling 58:05 Wife's Reaction and Family Drama 01:01:50 Comparing Sentences: Jared Fogle 01:02:39 Meeting Mobsters in Prison 01:04:33 Father's Support 01:06:06 First Stop: Transfer to Prison 01:07:40 Life at Morgantown 01:12:44 Pedophiles in Prison 01:16:51 Respect as the Doctor 01:20:05 Medical Care in Prison 01:23:24 Jewish Power in the Federal System 01:27:00 Power of the Jewish Community 01:28:25 Money and Influence Behind the Scenes 01:31:03 Taking Advantage of Religious Rights 01:33:52 Smuggling and Prison Life 01:37:08 What Happened to His Medical License 01:43:13 A New Career at His Med School 01:48:49 A Bad First Date 01:51:15 Inmate Dating and Visiting Lists 01:56:40 Final Thoughts and Thanks _____________________________________________  To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka

In this episode of the Elevate Care podcast, host Enderson Miranda sits down with Brian Floyd, Chief Operating Officer at ECU Health and chairman of the board for the North Carolina Health Care Association, to unpack a framework Brian calls the "six dimensions of rurality." Drawing on more than 30 years of healthcare leadership, coupled with the unique understanding of a clinician that practiced within the rural healthcare setting, Brian explains why treating rural healthcare as simply a geography problem misses the point, and why density, distance, demographics, disease burden, determinants, and disparity together create structural barriers that urban-focused policy often fails to address. Brian also shares how ECU Health builds a sustainable workforce from within its own communities, using point-based admissions systems with local universities to keep talent close to home, and how the organization has partnered with AMN Healthcare to achieve conversion rates for international nurses well above the national average. The conversation closes with a candid look at the role technology can play in closing access gaps, and the advocacy work that healthcare leaders must take to ensure rural systems remain viable for the communities that depend on them. This episode offers healthcare leaders a clear and structural lens for evaluating rural care delivery, along with concrete workforce and policy strategies that translate directly into retention, access, and financial sustainability. Key Takeaways Rural healthcare needs a structural definition, not just a geographic one. Brian's six dimensions of rurality (density, distance, demographics, disease burden, determinants, and disparity) reframe how leaders and policymakers should evaluate rural care delivery. Hospital closures are the tail end of a much longer decline. Physician loss, specialty care exits, and reduced preventative services happen long before a hospital closes its doors. Payment reform must remain a top policy priority. Wage index adjustments and reimbursement structures often pay rural systems less for treating the same disease burden as urban systems. Local workforce investment drives long-term retention. ECU Health adjusts university admissions criteria to prioritize students from the communities it serves, growing local enrollment by over 10 percent. Mission-driven culture fuels nurse retention, both nationally and internationally. ECU Health converts more than 90% of international nurse placements into permanent employees, a rate significantly above national average. Technology can close access gaps that bricks-and-mortar models cannot. Telehealth and AI free up clinician time for direct patient care and extend reach across low-density rural regions.   Chapters 00:00 – Introduction to Brian Floyd and ECU Health 01:01 – Brian's Journey from Nursing to Health System Leadership 04:08 – Why Rural and Urban Healthcare Operate Under Different Realities 07:04 – The Six Dimensions of Rurality: Density, Distance, Demographics, Disease Burden, Social Determinants, and Payment Disparity 14:06 – How Technology and AI Can Close Rural Access Gaps 17:37 – Where Rural Healthcare Gaps Hit Hardest: Patients Versus Systems 20:52 – The Policy Gap: Why Payment Reform Matters Most 24:08 – Building a Sustainable Rural Workforce from Within 32:29 – Local Talent Meets Global Talent: Retaining International Nurses 36:42 – Advocacy Advice for Healthcare Leaders Meet Brian Floyd Brian Floyd is Chief Operating Officer at ECU Health, a health system with eight hospitals, including a 1,100-bed tertiary academic medical center, and roughly 250 clinics across eastern North Carolina. He also chairs the board of the North Carolina Health Care Association.

Hospitals are sharing budget ideas for next year as health costs in Vermont remain among the highest in the nation, Gov. Phil Scott looks to learn more about AI and an effort by local businesses to get Montpelier's former post office building under local control appears to have succeeded.

When an older adult moves from the hospital to rehab, or from rehab back into a care setting, the risk is not just medical. It is operational. Medication changes get missed. Notes sit in a binder. One caregiver knows something important, but the next person never sees it. Families assume everyone is aligned, but the handoff is incomplete before the next shift even starts. That is where systems break down. Most leaders do not have a people problem. They have a workflow problem. The issue is not that caregivers do not care. The issue is that too much of care still depends on memory, workarounds, and fragmented communication. And when a patient is medically fragile, those small cracks can quickly become expensive mistakes. Clinical transitions are not one event A transition is not one moment. It is a chain of events. Hospital discharge. Medication updates. New mobility risks. Shift changes. Family communication. Follow-up care. Documentation. Escalation if something feels off. If one part of that chain breaks, the whole system gets weaker. I often describe it like Lego blocks. If one section is unstable, the full structure becomes wobbly. That is why trying to fix everything at once rarely works. The better approach is to identify the biggest friction point, improve it, and then measure what changed. Why senior care systems break down In senior care, especially in home-based care and residential settings, a few predictable problems show up again and again: - Information lives in too many places - Handwritten notes do not flow cleanly into the next shift - One caregiver notices something important, but another does not - Staff rely on memory at the exact moment when fatigue and cognitive load are highest - Organizations add more processes without removing old processes That last one matters more than most leaders realize. If a team already has 15 steps to follow, adding a 16th without taking anything away does not improve care. It usually increases resistance, creates shortcuts, and pushes people back toward old workarounds. Where AI can actually help AI is not a replacement for judgment. It is a support layer. Used well, it can help organizations capture fragmented information and surface what matters before it gets lost. For example, if a caregiver is scheduled to start a shift at 2:00 p.m., the system can pull the latest notes, identify medication changes, flag care concerns, and send a short summary a few minutes before the shift starts. Not a wall of text. Just easy-to-process notes. That creates clarity without pulling the caregiver away from the person they are there to support. It also creates accountability. If the caregiver confirms they read the update, the organization has a better record of what was shared and when. This is a snippet from an interview that I did with Holly Larson. You can learn more about Holly Larson and all the great work she does in the senior care space on LinkedIn. You can also check out her website, The Chief Care Officer.

This month we're interviewing a handful of fascinating people as part of our summer ‘Parky Profiles' series.This week we're joined by renowned academic and researcher, Roger Barker. Roger is professor of clinical neuroscience at the University of Cambridge and a consultant neurologist at the Addenbrooke's Hospital. Not only is our guest well known for his groundbreaking research into the use of foetal and stem cell transplants to treat Parkinson's, he is also one of the drivers and creators of the lauded World Parkinson's Congress, which we went along to in Phoenix, Arizona, earlier this year. We wanted to know how Roger came to study medicine, tackle neuroscience and become one of the UK's leading academics in the search for a Parkinson's cure. We also made sure to get his thoughts on the WPC, particularly after one controversial debate..Movers & Shakers is brought to you in partnership with Cure Parkinson's.Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones, Gillian Lacey-Solymar, Mark Mardell, Paul Mayhew-Archer and Sir Nicholas MostynProduced and edited by Ewan Cameron for PodotAssociate Producer: Lulu GoadMusic by Alex Stobbs Hosted on Acast.

A 111-year-old Detroit institution is making one of the biggest bets in Michigan health care, and the details are more ambitious than a new building. From the Mackinac Policy Conference, we talk with Denise Brooks Williams, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Henry Ford Health System, about the “Future of Health” initiative and what it takes to modernize a flagship campus while keeping community needs at the center.We get into Destination Grand, a roughly 1.2 million square foot, $2.2 billion hospital project on West Grand Boulevard. Denise explains how all private rooms, a redesigned emergency department with a stronger behavioral health focus, updated operating rooms, and new technology infrastructure are meant to change the experience of care, not just the skyline. Just as important, we discuss how Henry Ford worked through Detroit's community benefit ordinance process to hear directly from residents about affordability, access, transportation, and the kinds of services that make a medical district usable in everyday life.The conversation also widens to statewide access. With Henry Ford Health's joint venture with Ascension and partnerships across Michigan, we talk about how specialty expertise can show up closer to home in communities like Jackson, Genesee County, and beyond, while still creating a clear path to advanced care when needed.Finally, we tackle the policy headwinds shaping the future: the 340B drug pricing program, Medicaid reimbursement, and why “common ground” matters if we want sustainable healthcare affordability and access for Michigan patients.

This episode first aired back in August 2023 and it went on to become one of the most downloaded birth stories I have ever put out. So I'm bringing it back! Whether this is your first time hearing Jamie's story or you are coming back around again, I think you are going to love it. ❤️Jamie Peterson always knew she wanted to at least TRY for an unmedicated birth. She gathered all the information she could, took the My Essential Birth course with her husband, saw a Webster certified chiropractor, walked and squatted and drank her red raspberry leaf tea, and hired a doula to help bridge the communication gap with her husband when she was deep in labor.And then birth did what birth does... it went completely off script.

It's Thursday, August 6th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Algerian, African church going underground The Protestant church in Algeria is going underground.  The Muslim-majority country is located in North Africa. Authorities there have shut down nearly all Evangelical churches over the past decade. Many Christians now meet secretly in homes.  One Algerian pastor told Morning Star News, “The situation is undeniably difficult because we are deprived of fellowship. But God's work must not stop. We desperately lack Bibles and Christian books, as customs officials systematically confiscate them even when friends bring them from the West.” Algeria is ranked 20th on the Open Doors' World Watch List of the worst countries for the persecution of Christians.  British soldiers are asking about Christ Faith is increasing in the British military.  Army chaplains report more recruits are asking about Christianity, attending services, and requesting baptism. Dr. Martin Gliniecki is the executive director of the Soldiers' and Aviators' Scripture Readers Association. He told Christian Today, “We have prayed for revival in our nation for many years now and … revival in our Armed Forces too. Something is happening. While our Armed Forces are the smallest in modern history, the harvest remains plentiful.” In Luke 10:2, Jesus said, “The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few. Therefore, pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.” British millionaire stands up for persecuted street preachers A British millionaire is standing up for persecuted street preachers. Businessman Samuel Leeds has pledged to fund the legal representation of Christian street preachers who are targeted by police.  He told Truth Times, “We see Christians being persecuted all over the world, but seeing it happen in Great Britain — seeing the disdain, the hatred, and now the oppression of Christian voices — really bothers me. … Where Christians are being unfairly targeted simply for preaching their faith, I'm prepared to put my money behind defending them.” Amen! Democrat primary voters elect another leftist The left wing of the Democratic Party continues to win election primaries. Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, whose parents came to America from Egypt, won the Democrat primary for U.S. Senate in Michigan on Tuesday.  The 41-year-old is an epidemiologist who received his Doctor of Medicine from Columbia University, served as director of the Department of Health, Human, and Veterans Services of Wayne County, Michigan, from 2023 to 2025, and was a candidate in the 2018 Michigan gubernatorial election. EL-SAYED: “What a race! You know, in the words of Muhammad Ali, we shook up the world!” Endorsed by socialist Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, among other leftists, he narrowly defeated Congresswoman Haley Stevens, a pro-Israel moderate Democrat. Remarkably, super PACs, political action committees, spent $60 million on the race, supporting Stevens 9-1. El-Sayed champions the abolition of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement known as ICE, ending most U.S. military aid to Israel, and wants a universal, government-funded health insurance program that covers everyone. If you take the time to watch his 19-minute victory speech, which we have linked in our transcript at www.TheWorldview.com, you will notice he is an articulate spokesman for his cause. EL-SAYED: “So, whether you voted for me or voted for my opponent or didn't vote at all, we're inviting you to that movement to get money out of politics, so we can put money back in pockets, and finally guarantee the promise of health care through Medicare for All.” If elected in November, Abdul El-Sayed would be the first Muslim in the Senate.  Democrats are moving left The views of Democrats are shifting further to the left. A new Reuters/Ipsos poll found 71 percent of Democrats label themselves as liberal. That's up from 55 percent in 2012.  Most liberal Democrats identify certain positions as essential to being a liberal. These include increasing taxes on corporations and billionaires, expanding access to abortion, and government provided healthcare coverage.  In Romans 13:4, the Apostle Paul identified different priorities for government: “For [a ruler] is God's minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God's minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil.” Amazon hits $3 trillion in market value Amazon became the fifth company to reach $3 trillion dollars in market value on Monday.  The tech company saw growth in its cloud-computing services as demand for Artificial Intelligence surges. Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, and Nvidia are the other companies that have reached a market value of $3 trillion dollars in the past.  Doctors successfully operated on baby in the womb And finally, doctors successfully operated on a baby while still in the womb. Baby Theo was diagnosed with a severe intestinal defect in the womb. Indeed, his intestines were completely outside his body.  Such cases can require many surgeries after birth, and babies do not always survive. Parents Maisie Savage and Josh French live in London. They were referred to a clinical trial at Texas Children's Hospital.  At 26 weeks of pregnancy, surgeons conducted the groundbreaking operation. It's the first surgery of its kind in the U.S.  Praise God! Baby Theo was born full-term in February. Josh recently told Good Morning America that Theo is thriving.   Listen. JOSH: “He's doing all the things that a normal, healthy baby should be doing. He's shouting. He's screaming. He blows raspberries. It's just fantastic having him home.” Psalm 127:3 says, “Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from Him."

When complications arise during pregnancy or birth, many women assume their birth plans are over. But does it have to be that way?In this episode, we're joined by Catey, a mother of four whose pregnancies and births included severe preeclampsia, inductions, postpartum hemorrhages, postpartum depression, thyroid disease, infertility, and a hospital transfer. Despite these serious complications, every one of her births was planned under the care of certified nurse-midwives.Catey shares how her midwives navigated medical emergencies while preserving shared decision-making, how they helped preserve the aspects of birth that mattered most to her, and how continuity of care made all the difference. We discuss the differences between physiologic labor and Pitocin inductions, when interventions like epidurals can become valuable tools, and the support that helped her recover from postpartum depression after both uncomplicated and traumatic births.#358 | Dr. Sarah J.

Hannah's first labor began at 40 weeks, the day after a membrane sweep. She opted for an epidural but due to fetal tachycardia, had an unplanned cesarean. It was a lonely and confusing postpartum not coping well with the emotional trauma of that birth. Hannah prepared for a VBAC and planned a home birth with a midwife hoping for a different experience. She felt peaceful about transferring to the hospital when labor stalled at 9cm. She talks about what made that transfer feel empowering, including the sweetest affirmations from her cute husband. She also shares about her baby girl's diagnosis with Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (LCH) at just 7 weeks old and how walking through a rare childhood illness (quite literally 1 in a million!) changed her perspective on birth, motherhood, and life's hardest seasons.Hannah was a TVL podcast listener herself long before she had her own VBAC. We hope you can find the same inspiration and love that Lily, Paige, and Hannah did when prepping for their own births!To Lily, she said, “The way that you and Paige honor women's birth stories is just so beautiful. It's such a powerful service you provide. It was so inspirational and hopeful, and I still listen every week.”Our birth stories are meant to be held and shared communally.

A South Shore Hospital surgeon took the stand at Plymouth Superior Court and told the jury that Lindsay Clancy's wrist and neck injuries on the night she allegedly killed her three children were superficial. The cuts went through skin and exposed fat but didn't reach muscles, arteries, or tendons. The prosecution needed that testimony to support their argument that Clancy's attempt on her own life wasn't real. Then Clancy's defense attorney Kevin Reddington revealed something the surgeon never knew — her patient's heart had stopped at Brigham and Women's Hospital and she required massive blood transfusions to survive.The rest of Day 6 centered on prescription evidence. Thirteen bottles were presented to the jury, most nearly full. Prosecutors argued Clancy wasn't taking her medications. The defense showed all thirteen were prescribed in a three-week span. Forensic scientists confirmed five psychiatric drugs in Clancy's blood — mirtazapine, lamotrigine, quetiapine, trazodone, and benzodiazepines — and confirmed the absence of any recreational or illicit substances. Post-mortem results on Cora, five, Dawson, three, and Callan, eight months, showed nothing in their systems. Clancy also spoke in court for the first time, agreeing to stipulations that concede all physical evidence and narrow the trial entirely to her mental state.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The prosecution's witness called Lindsay Clancy's injuries superficial. It was exactly the word they needed — evidence that her attempt wasn't genuine, that she staged what happened after killing her three children at their Duxbury home on January 24, 2023. Then the defense asked the surgeon two questions she couldn't answer. She didn't know her patient had coded at Brigham and Women's Hospital. She didn't know about the massive blood transfusion. The doctor who gave the prosecution their strongest word had no idea her patient nearly died.Day 6 at Plymouth Superior Court brought prescription bottles and forensic evidence. Prosecutors lined up thirteen bottles — most of them nearly full — and walked the jury through the math. The defense countered with a single detail: every one of those prescriptions was written within three weeks. Toxicology confirmed five psychiatric medications in Clancy's system. Nothing recreational. Nothing illicit. Post-mortem testing on all three children found no substances at all. And before the jury entered the courtroom, Clancy spoke for the first time — agreeing to stipulate to every piece of physical evidence. The defense isn't contesting what happened. They're arguing why.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What do you do when your child receives a diagnosis and your mind suddenly goes blank? Whether you're hearing difficult news for the first time or preparing your child for a medical procedure, knowing what to ask—and how to support your child—can feel overwhelming. In this episode of Inside the Children's Hospital, Katie Taylor, Certified Child Life Specialist, is joined by Dr. Mona Amin, board-certified pediatrician, founder of PedsDocTalk, and Chief Medical Officer at Poppins, for an honest conversation about helping families navigate some of the hardest moments in healthcare. Together, they share practical strategies for asking the right questions after a diagnosis, preparing children for medical procedures in developmentally appropriate ways, and supporting both parents and children through fear, uncertainty, and overwhelming emotions. Dr. Mona also shares her own experience as both a pediatrician and the mother of a child who experienced a neonatal stroke, offering a unique perspective from both sides of the hospital bed.
