After first making national headlines for exposing alleged secret gender-transition procedures on minors at Texas Children's Hospital, whistleblower Dr. Eithan Haim is sitting down with Dr. Phil McGraw to discuss the hospital's stunning new reversal. Texas Children's Hospital has now agreed to a major settlement with the state of Texas, reportedly paying $10 million and moving forward with plans to open what is being described as the nation's first pediatric de-transition clinic. The move comes after years of controversy, political scrutiny, legal battles, and growing national debate over gender-related medical care for minors. Dr. Haim discusses why he says he risked everything to speak out, the fallout he faced after becoming a public whistleblower, and what he believes this latest development means for families, doctors, and the future of pediatric gender medicine.This episode is brought to you by: Get up to $20,000 in FREE Gold & Silver with a qualified purchase.

It took him about 20 years. With the right approach, he believes it can be done in far less time. The five steps are straightforward:  Start volunteering in non-clinical hospital roles and say yes to opportunities, Find one or more mentors, Take on part-time medical director or physician advisor work while still practicing, Pursue formal business and management education, and Ask for the job.  John works through each using his own career as the example, including how chairing a hospital CME committee eventually led to a national accreditation role at the ACCME.  You'll find links mentioned in the episode at nonclinicalphysicians.com/path-to-hospital-executive/.

Description:  How do GLP-1 receptor agonists or GIP agonists work and what is the impact for my psoriatic disease? Hear dermatologist Dr. Ronald Prussick and cardio-immunologist Dr. Brittany Weber answer such questions and more.           Join host Archie Franklin as he takes a deep dive into the use of GLP-1 receptor agonists and GIP agonists and the convergence of systemic inflammation related to psoriatic disease with renowned dermatologist and Vice Chair of the NPF Medical Board, Dr. Ronald Prussick from Washington Dermatology Center in Rockville and Frederick, MD, and, cardio-immunologist Dr. Brittany Weber, Director of the Cardio-Rheumatology/ Cardio-Dermatology Program at the University of Texas Southwestern. Learn more about the use of incretin hormones, the impact of weight management on psoriatic disease, metabolic and cardiovascular risk, as well as results from the TOGETHER-Pso and TOGETHER-PsA clinical trials.  This episode addresses the actions of incretin hormones (GLP-1 receptor agonist and GIP agonist) and how such use may be beneficial in the management of inflammation related to psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.  Thank you to Lilly for their support of this program activity.  Timestamps: (0:00)  Intro to Psoriasis Uncovered & guest welcome dermatologist Dr. Ronald Prussick and cardio-immunologist Dr. Brittany Weber.  (1:35)  What are incretin hormones and how GLP-1 or GIP receptor agonists (RA) inhibit appetite to initiate weight loss. (3:29)  Why GLP-1 RAs are of interest in the management of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. (5:23)  The metabolic, cardiovascular, and psoriatic disease convergence. (7:19)  Will reduction of inflammation impact cardiovascular risk? (10:59) Treatment challenges associated with having psoriatic disease and being overweight or obese. (13:45)  Key points around the use of GLP-1 receptor agonists when managing psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. (17:06)  Results of the TOGETHER-PsO and TOGETHER-PsA phase 3 clinical trials combining use of an IL-17 inhibitor and a GIP and GLP-1                receptor agonist therapy. (19:07)  Having the conversation of adding a GLP-1 RA medication to a treatment regimen. (22:40)  The paradigm shift of GLP-1 receptor agonists and the impact they can have on shared inflammatory pathways. Key Takeaways: ·       Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) agonists are two incretin hormones that assist in managing excess body weight -- which as a result can be helpful in managing inflammation in the body.   ·       Psoriasis isn't just a skin and joint disease. It's a complex network of systemic inflammation with shared inflammatory pathways that worsens with increased weight impacting the severity of the disease, and accelerates the risk of metabolic dysfunction, and cardiovascular disease.   ·       The best outcomes occur as a result of multidisciplinary collaboration to address the impact of excess weight and systemic inflammation. If you are struggling to lose weight with diet and exercise, speak with your medical team about your options including the use of GLP-1 or GIP agonists.   Guest Bios: Renowned dermatologist Ronald Prussick, M.D., Medical Director of the Washington Dermatology Center in Rockville and Fredrick, Maryland, specializes in the treatment of psoriasis along with other diseases of the skin, hair, and nails.

MIND stands for Mastering Internal Negativity during Difficulty. This series emphasizes productivity, provider performance, and team optimization to ensure we are at our best during high-pressure situations. In this episode, host Dr. Mark Ramzy chats with special guests and master educators about the concept of human factors.Dr. Chris Hicks is an emergency physician and trauma team leader at St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto, Assistant Professor in the Department of Medicine at the University of Toronto, and co-founder of Advanced Performance Healthcare Design, a physician-led simulation and design group. Dr. Andrew Petrosoniak is an emergency physician and trauma team leader at St. Michael’s Hospital, and Medical Director of the Unity Health Toronto Simulation Program. He’s an Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto where his research focuses on simulation for systems and design improvement and optimizing the care of the bleeding patient. Along with Dr. Hicks, he’s also President of Advanced Performance Healthcare Design, a consulting firm that works with high-performance teams and uses simulation to enhance and design better healthcare spaces Cognitive Question How can the integration of human factors improve decision-making and performance in emergency medicine and critical care environments? ️What are Human Factors? In the context of healthcare, human factors encompass the interplay between humans, the systems they work within, and the effectiveness of their interactions. It includes elements like communication, system design, environmental conditions, and behavioral patterns affecting individual and team decision-making processes. It’s the collective impact of individual behaviors, team dynamics, and the physical environment on performance and outcomes. The aim is to eliminate issues arising from human error by creating systems and environments that naturally guide and support optimal performance. 🏥How This Applies to the Emergency Department or ICU? Efficient integration of human factors in high-pressure settings like the Emergency Department (ED) or Intensive Care Unit (ICU) helps mitigate the risks associated with stressful and chaotic environments. By focusing on system designs that account for human behavior, healthcare professionals can reduce errors, enhance team coordination, and ultimately improve patient care. This is crucial as teams are often required to make rapid, life-saving decisions in these environmentsThe design of clinical spaces can either hinder or help efficient care. Poorly arranged equipment or cluttered workspaces increase stress and impede decision-making. Implementing structured design principles, such as dedicated equipment zones and clear visual cues, can streamline workflows and enhance team coordinationIt actually helps pave the way for more efficiency because you end up “working smarter instead of harder”.It speaks directly to the Daniel Kahneman’s theory of Type 2 Thinking – which is a slow, analytical cognitive process requiring deliberate thoughtWe’ll likely create a whole dedicated episode to this but if you want to read more ahead of time on it, check out his book Thinking, Fast and Slow ⏩Immediate Action Steps for Your Next Shift **Assess Your Environment**: Take note of any clutter, noise, or layout issues in your workspace that could hinder optimal performance. Identify problem areas that could be optimized.**Recognizable Hard-Stop** – Implement a “Stop-Point” Check for areas or issues that involve more than just patient safety (ie. workflow inefficiencies, sign-out, throughput, etc). Use predefined benchmarks during procedures to ensure clarity and efficiency.**Foster Open Communication** – Encourage an environment where every team member feels comfortable discussing their thoughts and decisions without fear of judgment.**Prototype Solutions** – Work with colleagues to identify problems and brainstorm quick, cost-effective solutions that could be tested in your department.**Role Clarity and Preparation** – Ensure roles are clearly defined and team members are prepared with necessary resources readily available during high-stakes scenarios.**Test and Refine** – Conduct quick pilot tests of new setups or processes during quieter times and gather feedback from your team. Conclusion Human factors play a critical role in shaping healthcare outcomes. Through structured system designs and attention to team dynamics, it is possible to reduce inefficiencies and enhance both patient care and provider well-being. It requires a shift in perspective from seeing design and systems as separate from human behaviors, to seeing them as intricately linked. By incorporating these principles, healthcare professionals can create environments that inherently support better, safer, and more effective patient care. 🚨 Clinical Bottom Line Incorporating human factors into healthcare isn’t just about preventing errors—it’s about creating an ecosystem where the healthcare team is empowered to perform at their best, even under the most challenging conditions. Implementing small, iterative changes can create a meaningful impact, paving the way for improved systems and processes. This starts by redesigning systems and environments with human factors in mind, which can significantly improve both the efficiency of care delivery and the safety of the healthcare environment.

What happens when you combine environmental cleanup, competitive art, and community giving? On this episode of the Mount Pleasant Podcast, host Brian Cleary talks with Jim Haag, President and Director of The Beautification Transformation Project (TBT Project). Drawing on his background from the Savannah College of Art and Design, Jim launched this unique initiative after noticing heavy debris piling up along local corridors like Highway 17 and Rifle Range Road. At its core, TBT is about reimagining our relationship with the environment by turning "waste into wonder". Jim's vision is to create a repeatable model that can be taken to cities nationwide. By proving that roadside blight can be harvested as a raw medium for high-quality sculpture, the project aims to transform the way communities view litter—shifting the narrative from a simple cleanup task to a creative opportunity that supports both the local arts economy and those in need. For this year's inaugural Mount Pleasant competition, the project is focusing on three key areas: Supporting the Arts: Creating a competitive art contest for local high schoolers, college students, and professionals using recycled materials. Helping the Environment: Launching a massive August cleanup to pull 10,000 pounds of litter from Mount Pleasant roadsides. Giving Back: Partnering with local businesses to display the final sculptures, which will be auctioned off to benefit the MUSC Children's Hospital. Get Involved: Want to showcase your creativity or support the cause?

Jimmy Savile fooled the United Kingdom by turning himself into a national institution before the country ever understood what he really was. He built a public image out of charity marathons, hospital visits, children's television, BBC fame, eccentric branding, and proximity to respectable institutions. That image became his shield. He was not merely hiding in the shadows; he was hiding in plain sight, protected by celebrity, deference, institutional cowardice, and the British habit of confusing access to power with moral legitimacy. Hospitals opened doors to him. Broadcasters promoted him. Politicians posed with him. The public saw the tracksuits, the cigar, the jewelry, the catchphrases, and the charity work, while behind that manufactured persona was a predator who exploited children, patients, vulnerable women, and institutional blind spots for decades. The horror of Savile is not just that he deceived people; it is that so many systems had chances to question him and chose comfort, reputation, and silence instead.Savile's closeness to the royal orbit made the deception even more grotesque. He developed a relationship with then-Prince Charles through charity work, visited royal residences, corresponded with him, and was reportedly consulted on media strategy and public relations matters, including how the royal household should respond to crises. That does not mean the royals knew what Savile was doing, but it does show how easily a predator could launder himself through elite proximity. That is where the echo with Jeffrey Epstein and Prince Andrew becomes impossible to ignore. In both cases, a sexually abusive man gained credibility by orbiting powerful people, presenting himself as useful, charitable, connected, or socially valuable. Savile used hospitals, the BBC, charity, and royal access. Epstein used money, private planes, philanthropy, academia, finance, and aristocratic friendships. Andrew's relationship with Epstein later exposed the same rotten mechanism: elites mistaking proximity, usefulness, and social familiarity for innocence, while victims were left to fight against institutions that had already decided the powerful deserved the benefit of the doubt.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

AI-powered weapons detectors now scan everyone entering the Halifax Infirmary, screening out everything from box-cutters to homemade throwing stars studded with razor blades. The technology is part of a province-wide reset on hospital safety after years of escalating violence, and a knife attack that injured three healthcare workers. The message is clear: if you wouldn't bring it to the airport, don't bring it to the hospital. For our episode on a nurse who survived a violent attack outside a Winnipeg hospital, click here.

This week on the Faculty Factory Podcast, we explore what neurodiversity is and how it plays out in the workplace with our guest, Kelley J. Slack, PhD. Dr. Slack is an Organizational Psychologist in the Department of Pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine, Texas Children's Hospital in Houston, Texas. First things out of the gate, we learned neurodiversity is not a medical term but rather a social construct. "You're not going to find neurodiversity in a medical textbook, but at the same time it's 'not not' a medical term in that it highlights the natural variation in human neurology," she said. Dr. Slack reminds us that we all possess cognitive strengths and deal with different challenges. This natural range has played a vital role in human flourishing, and our latest episode is the perfect starting place to learn more. You can contact Dr. Slack by email. And learn more about the study she mentioned in the closing moments of the podcast.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!Most people would run from a haunted hospital. Ronnie Dee bought two.In this chilling episode of The Grave Talks, we sit down with Ronnie Dee, the man who owns not one, but two of the most haunted hospitals in Tennessee—Old South Pittsburg Hospital and Old Historic Harriman Hospital. Both buildings were once slated for demolition. Now, they're preserved—not just in brick and mortar, but in paranormal energy.What drives someone to purchase an abandoned haunted hospital? According to Ronnie, the question isn't why—it's who still lingers inside. At South Pittsburg, visitors and investigators regularly encounter a pipe-smoking doctor, shadow figures, and a nurse who swore she'd return after death—and did. These aren't legends. These are true stories of real hauntings that Ronnie and his team experience regularly.But it doesn't stop there. At Harriman Hospital, over 40 volunteers have reported seeing the same ghostly man roaming the halls. Who is he? No one knows—but they all describe him the same way. From unexplained voices and cold spots to full-bodied apparitions, these hospitals may look abandoned on the outside—but they're alive with supernatural activity on the inside.This isn't just another haunted hospital story.

Photo courtesy Great Lakes Indian Fish and Wildlife Commission / Facebook All eleven federally recognized tribes in Wisconsin have seats on a new committee aimed at protecting wild rice. Chuck Quirmbach reports. Gov. Tony Evers (D-WI) has announced his 24 appointees to the Wild Rice Stewardship Council. One member, Gloria Waabigwan Wiggins (Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa), works for the group Wisconsin Native Vote. Wiggins also keeps up a tribal tradition, protected by a 1983 federal court ruling, of gathering wild rice in the ceded territory of Northern Wisconsin. “I’ve been harvesting wild rice, manoomin, with my husband for say, the last 9-10 years. Our powwow, our celebration of manoomin, is in August. So that’s a very important event for our community.” Wiggins says wild rice is also part of a sacred migration story for the Anishinabe, Indigenous people of the Great Lakes region. But tribal and state officials report low production of wild rice in recent years, due to factors like windstorms and very heavy rainfall, and long-standing threats like water pollution and excessive waves from boats. Another member of the new Stewardship Council, Eric McLester, helps direct environmental policy for the Oneida Nation. He says the big picture concern is climate change. “The amount of rain, water levels. It’s important to not have huge increases or decreases in water levels. Drought certainly impacts the wild rice beds.” McLester says the Oneida have restored about 35 acres of wetlands for wild rice production in recent years. He hopes the tribal members on the wild rice council can share best practices for the resource. It’s also possible the committee will propose new regulations to protect wild rice. A First Nations family in Canada is demanding answers after 24-year-old Jaali Sutherland-Weenie died during childbirth after reportedly being diagnosed with pre-eclampsia while 36 weeks pregnant. Family members say Sutherland-Weenie, from Beardy's and Okemasis’ Cree Nation in Saskatchewan, sought medical care in the days leading up to her death and raised concerns about symptoms linked to the dangerous pregnancy complication. According to the Mayo Clinic, pre-eclampsia causes high blood pressure during pregnancy and can quickly become life-threatening for both mother and baby if not closely monitored and treated. According to relatives, Sutherland-Weenie first went to a hospital in Rosthern before being transferred to Jim Pattison Children's Hospital and later to the labor and delivery unit at Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon, where she died on April 26 after giving birth to her daughter. Her death is now drawing attention from Indigenous advocates and community members who say Indigenous women continue to face inequities in maternal health care and are too often dismissed when reporting pain or complications. Loved ones are calling for accountability and a full review into what happened. Community members have also taken to social media to share condolences and call for better protections for Indigenous mothers navigating the health care system. The Saskatchewan Health Authority says a review is underway. Blayne Morin, Sutherland-Weenie's partner, said during a news conference held at Wanuskewin Heritage Park in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan earlier this week, he plans to attend her graduation ceremony next month to accept her degree on her behalf. Morin says the couple wanted to build a better life for their daughter than the ones they experienced growing up. “The family and I will be attending her congregation next month, taking her degree, and we planned so much for our baby before she made her appearance here. We didn't want her to grow up like how we did, breaking the intergenerational trauma.” Sutherland-Weenie leaves behind a newborn daughter and a grieving family now hoping her story raises awareness about the warning signs of pre-eclampsia and the importance of timely medical care.

We learn why one Texas company earned one of those contracts and a Houston-based one did not.Also this hour: On the heels of Tuesday's runoff election and as we look ahead to November, we break down how Supreme Court decisions of recent years have gutted the Voting Rights Act, and how, paired with ensuing redistricting, representation is changing in Houston and across The South.Then, we learned this month that an unusual settlement over child transgender care was reached, which calls on Texas Children's Hospital in Houston to establish the country's first-ever “detransition clinic.” We discuss the practical and legal questions that settlement raises with Shelby Chestnut, executive director of the Transgender Law Center.And technology is changing the way music is made. Some of it is for the better. Some of it...not so much. We talk it over with some creators.Watch

Celia is a mom of four, an Air Force Technical Sergeant, and a passionate advocate for evidence-based communication in birth. In this episode, she shares her four very different birth experiences: a 36-hour induction ending in a forceps delivery and severe tear, another induction that turned precipitous, a breech Cesarean that felt calm and healing, and ultimately a hospital water birth VBAC at a hospital that DIDN'T allow water births! Celia opens up about prenatal depression, birth trauma, knowing your worth, switching providers, and the reality that both cesareans and vaginal births can be traumatic, and both can also be healing.Celia also sheds light on the power dynamics with navigating military maternity care as an enlisted service member treated by officers within the system. She talks about healing from an abusive relationship, how she opened her heart to love and trust again, and the unique challenges that come with a blended family. We encourage all Women of Strength to give grace to the younger versions of yourself just as Celia so beautifully exemplifies!Keywords: VBAC, hospital water birth, birth trauma, military maternity care, MTF, active duty VBAC, switching providers, forceps delivery, breech cesarean, advocacy, prenatal depression, precipitous labor, healing, hospital policiesPostpartum Support International Provider DirectoryNeeded Website: Code TVL for 20% OffThe Ultimate VBAC Prep Course for ParentsOnline VBAC Doula TrainingAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Stacey Richter introduces Episode 513 of Relentless Health Value as a primer on anti-competitive hospital contracting with Brennan Bilberry of Fairmark Partners, setting up next week's interview with Matt Cantor, lead litigator in the Sutter Health antitrust class action that led to a $575 million settlement over alleged price inflation using market power. Bilberry explains how hospital consolidation enables higher commercial rates and outlines a four-part contracting playbook: all-or-nothing contracting requiring inclusion of all system facilities at high prices; anti-steering and anti-tiering clauses blocking lower-cost benefit designs; price gag clauses limiting disclosure of negotiated rates despite transparency rules; and pressure on ostensibly independent providers to sell or align pricing with the dominant system. The episode links these patterns to DOJ actions against OhioHealth and New York Presbyterian and emphasizes collective action, regulation, and litigation to address them. === LINKS ===

You've meditated. You've journaled. You've done the work. So why do you still feel stuck? If that question hits a nerve, this episode is for you. Master Mingtong Gu has a clear and somewhat unsettling answer, and it has nothing to do with your mindset. About This Episode Master Mingtong Gu trained at a real hospital in China where the only prescription was energy, no medicine, no surgery, no supplements, just Qigong practice, all day, every day. The results were documented. The patients were real. And the conditions being healed were the kind conventional medicine had already given up on. In this conversation, Will and Karen sit down with Master Gu to explore what Wisdom Healing Qigong actually is, why most of us are spiritually "trying" from the neck up while completely bypassing the body, and what that disconnect costs us in an age increasingly dominated by AI. His core argument is simple and hard to shake: the gap between knowing something and actually living it doesn't live in your mind. It lives in your body. What You'll DiscoverWhy "incurable" is a statement about a doctor's limits, not yours, and what Master Gu says that means for your healingThe two patterns of energy that explain chronic stress, anxiety, and physical tension in one framework, and why "negative energy" might be the wrong lens entirelyWhat 8 to 10 hours of daily Qigong practice at the medicine-less hospital actually looked like, and why the intensity matteredThe surprising reason group practice produces results that solo practice can't replicate, including what a 30-day energy measurement study foundWhy the AI conversation isn't just about technology. it's about whether we're choosing to remain humanA short embodiment practice Master Gu leads mid-episode that you can do right now, hands on chest, no experience requiredThis Episode Hits Differently If... You've explored meditation, energy healing, or spiritual awakening and still feel a gap between the concept and the actual lived experience. Master Gu doesn't offer another belief system. He offers a way back into your body, where he says the real work, and the real medicine, has been waiting all along. Listen.

Welcome to Season Seven of Nobody Should Believe Me. Andrea revisits the case of Maya Kowalski—the story at the center of the Netflix film Take Care of Maya–and the family’s high-profile lawsuit against Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital. What became widely framed as a story about “medical kidnapping” began when hospital staff reported suspected medical child abuse after Maya arrived with a history of extreme ketamine treatments. How did a case of horrific abuse become a story about evil doctors kidnapping children?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! PART TWOIt was once a college dormitory. Then a tuberculosis hospital. Now it's a rustic inn with a haunted reputation that keeps growing darker. What happened inside the Old Gooding TB Hospital?In this episode of The Grave Talks, we sit down with Jennifer Ward, investigator with Western Idaho Paranormal Inc. (W.I.P.), a nonprofit group dedicated to scientific, professional paranormal investigation across Idaho and the Pacific Northwest. W.I.P. doesn't just chase shadows—they document them. And what they discovered inside the walls of the Gooding University Inn (formerly the Idaho State Tuberculosis Hospital) is unforgettable.Built in 1920 as a dormitory for Gooding College, the building later served as a tuberculosis hospital from 1947 to 1976—a place of isolation, suffering, and many deaths. Now, as an inn being carefully restored, visitors and investigators alike have reported overwhelming feelings of dread, unexplainable physical sensations, and full-bodied apparitions.Jennifer shares one of the most compelling EVPs ever captured in the building, along with chilling details of what her team experienced in the attic and basement, where even the current innkeeper refuses to go. Is the energy just residual from decades of death? Or is something more intelligent—and possibly sinister—anchored to the location?This is the haunted history of the Gooding TB Hospital—a place where spirits roam long hallways, shadows watch from corners, and the past refuses to die quietly.For more information, search Western Idaho Paranormal on Facebook or visit their website at widpara.com.#GoodingTBHospital #HauntedIdaho #ParanormalPodcast #RealGhostStories #EVPEvidence #WesternIdahoParanormal #TheGraveTalks #HauntedInn #GhostHunting #TuberculosisHospital #WIPInvestigations #HauntedHistoryLove real ghost stories?
