Daphna brings the DROP-ROP trial from JAMA Pediatrics, a double-masked randomized study across fourteen Swedish centers asking whether topical dexamethasone can stop pre-threshold ROP from progressing to type one disease. One hundred infants, born under 30 weeks, dosed for up to twelve weeks, some still getting drops at home. Twenty percent needed laser or anti-VEGF in the dexamethasone arm versus thirty-eight percent on placebo, a relative risk reduction that did not reach significance. Ben and Daphna talk through the safety signals, the intraocular pressure question, and how fast our field adopts promising ROP data.----Dexamethasone Eye Drops to Prevent Treatment-Requiring Retinopathy of Prematurity: The DROPROP Randomized Clinical Trial.

Send us Fan MailEvery unit has a bolus camp and a continuous camp, and both are usually dug in. Ben brings a single center non-inferiority trial from India, published in the Journal of Pediatrics, randomizing 132 infants born before 29 weeks and under a thousand grams to extended infusion feeding or two hourly bolus feeds. Weight gain at discharge was essentially identical at 15.3 versus 15.7 grams per kilo per day, but the infusion group lost two fewer days to interrupted feeds. Ben and Daphna talk through the five on one off infusion cycle, two hourly bolus feeding, and why fewer interruptions may be the real outcome.----Effect of Extended Infusion Versus Intermittent Bolus Feedings on Hospital Weight Gain in Extremely Low Birth Weight Infants Born at

In this episode of the NCS Podcast Currents series, host Lauren Koffman, DO, MS, FCCM, speaks with Tarek El Halabi, MD, who leads acute neurology services at the American University of Beirut Medical Center, about his Currents article, "Neurocritical Care in Lebanon: Progress Within Constraint." El Halabi didn't build a neuro ICU from the ground up. He joined an already established mixed medical-surgical unit and worked to change it from within, winning over colleagues and standardizing care for the emergencies that arise most often, including stroke, status epilepticus and bleeds. He and Koffman talk through what that took, from identifying the right people to lead each effort to investing heavily in nursing and resident training. While technical skills can be learned relatively quickly, building a lasting culture takes much longer. They also dig into what "resource-limited" really means in a country with highly trained physicians and advanced medicine. In Lebanon, El Halabi explains, the constraint isn't expertise, but financial access and consistency, since a patient's care can depend heavily on their insurance and where they happen to present. He describes how his team redesigned stroke workflows to meet AHA/ASA benchmarks despite these limits, as well as where the program goes from here, including adding more faculty, developing a neuro ICU fellowship, strengthening research ties with NCS's MENA region colleagues, and eventually expanding telemedicine outreach beyond Beirut.

What if the secret to lasting intimacy isn't one big romantic gesture—but intentionally choosing your relationship again and again? Dr. Sonia and her partner have made a commitment to take 100 honeymoons over the course of their relationship. They're currently on number 16. But a honeymoon doesn't have to mean Paris, Hawaii, or two weeks in the Maldives. Sometimes it's one night away. Sometimes it's a simple date. What makes it a honeymoon isn't the destination. It's the intention. In this episode, Dr. Sonia shares the hilarious moment her partner informed her that their upcoming family vacation did not qualify as their next honeymoon—and why that conversation revealed something much bigger about relationships. Intimacy rarely disappears overnight. More often, it gets slowly deprioritized as children, careers, aging parents, responsibilities, and everyday life take over. And then, years later, couples look at each other and wonder: Who are you? And how did we get here? In This Episode, You'll Learn:

An ICU doctor is joining the calls to fund RSV vaccines for our most vulnerable populations. It follows research from public health experts saying a programme could free up thousands of hospital beds, and a survey showing overwhelming public support. Dr Alex Browne, an ICU physician at Nelson Hospital and a Member of the College of Intensive Care Medicine spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Hour 3 (8.31) Lionel Richie checked himself into a St. Louis hospital over the weekend after finishing his Saturday show sitting down — he asked for a chair partway through "All Night Long." Reports say he's in the ICU getting tested, with dehydration a possible culprit. Sound familiar? That's the exact same thing that put Mark on the ground. Word is Richie's doing fine. Which brings up the other concert problem: the person next to you who sings every single word. You paid to hear the artist. Not them. Then the guys get into iHeart festivals, the George Strait show Mark went to, and the surprisingly rich world of Dollar Tree dinners — plus everything else worth grabbing at a dollar store. At 8:35, the hard-hitting journalism: is Conway a nepo baby? Did he use his father's name to pick up women? And who was his first crush? He's going to answer. Probably.

Daphna brings PAEAN from JAMA Pediatrics, a phase three trial across 24 units in Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore that gave high dose erythropoietin to 313 late preterm and term infants already receiving therapeutic hypothermia for HIE. Same drug, same dosing, nearly the same eligibility criteria as HEAL, by design. Death or moderate to severe developmental deficit at two years was 34 percent with EPO versus 29 percent with placebo.

Singer-songwriter Margaret Glaspy joins Zoë and Brendan to talk about the strange and surprisingly rich overlap between running and making art. She shares how watching her mom run planted the seed early, growing up close to the Western States course, how Courtney Dauwalter and Addie Bracy helped draw her into ultrarunning, and why learning to sit with discomfort has changed far more than her athletic life. Margaret also talks about quitting social media, writing songs on a typewriter, finding solitude in anonymous hotel gyms, and the logistical challenge of training while touring in a van. Plus: the financial risks of falling on your guitar-playing hand, the unexpectedly deep musician-to-ultrarunner pipeline, and what Margaret might learn from how ICU nurses train for ultras. 

Australian Rock legend Angry Anderson has been hospitalised after suffering a cardiac arrest in Brussels.Rose Tattoo released a statement some three weeks after their frontman, legally Gary Anderson, 79, was hospitalised, forcing the band to cancel the European leg of what was to be their final tour.Anderson is currently receiving treatment and care in ICU, though his condition is unknown.Rose Tattoo were scheduled to return to Australia this month to perform several farewell gigs across Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane.Angry Anderson rose to fame as a rock star in the late 1970s and 1980s, moving from the Australian-pub scene to mainstream success.Rose Tattoo's debut album and hit single Bad Boy for Love received widespread national recognition. Their next album, Assault and Battery, topped the UK heavy metal charts, catapulting them to international stardom.Outside his music career, Anderson received a Member of the Order of Australia in 1993 for his work in youth advocacy.As we all pray that Angry recovers, I thought you may like to revisit our chat here.

Send us Fan MailMost trials comparing CPAP and NIMV leave a lingering doubt about whether surfactant explained the difference. This one does not. Ben brings a multicenter noninferiority trial from JAMA Network Open in infants born between 24 and 29 weeks, randomized to nasal CPAP or NIMV with every baby receiving less invasive surfactant administration. The trial stopped early for futility after 312 infants. Noninvasive ventilation failure within 72 hours was 26 percent on CPAP versus 13 percent on NIMV. Ben and Daphna talk through what happens when surfactant is off the table, the unexpected NEC signal, and where the guidelines may need revisiting.----Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure vs Nasal Intermittent Positive Pressure Ventilation in Preterm Infants With Respiratory Distress Syndrome: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Returning guest Dr. Sara Crager joins us again on Critical Care Time, this time to tackle one of the most important, and most commonly overcomplicated, topics in critical care: acid–base physiology. Rather than treating acid–base as a collection of equations and compensation formulas, Sara walks us through her practical State → Process → Story framework for rapidly interpreting blood gases and electrolytes at the bedside. We discuss how to distinguish acidemia from acidosis, interpret CO₂ in the context of bicarbonate, use the anion gap and strong ion difference to uncover mixed metabolic disorders, recognize the importance of chloride and albumin, and understand why a “normal” pH—or a “normal” CO₂—may be anything but normal. Along the way, we work through several real-world ICU cases involving chronic hypercapnia, DKA, vomiting, septic shock, renal failure, saline-induced hyperchloremia, and hypoalbuminemia. The goal isn't more acid–base math. It's a better mental model and a faster way to understand what your patient's numbers are actually telling you. Hosted on Acast.

Central venous access remains foundational to the delivery of critical care, yet the techniques used for central line insertion have evolved minimally since the introduction of the Seldinger method more than 70 years ago. This relative stagnation persists despite increasing patient complexity and heightened expectations for procedural safety, efficiency, and reliability. This episode of the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) Podcast examines how procedural variability and fragmented workflows continue to contribute to risk during central venous catheter insertion in critically ill patients. It also considers the growing need to reassess long-standing approaches that may no longer align with the demands of contemporary ICU practice. Host Kyle B. Enfield, MD, speaks with Adnan Javed, MD, about emerging insertion techniques and integrated technologies designed to simplify procedural steps, reduce variability, and support more consistent performance at the bedside. Through a focused exploration of innovation in procedural design, this discussion highlights how streamlined, integrated approaches may enhance clinician performance, improve safety, and advance the standard of care in high-acuity environments. This episode provides a critical perspective on the future of central venous access and the role of innovation in transforming a commonly performed, yet high-stakes, procedure. This episode is sponsored by BD. Learning Objectives Describe how procedural complexity and workflow variability contribute to risk during central venous catheter insertion in critically ill patients Understand the potential of emerging insertion techniques and integrated, simplified approaches to improve procedural safety, consistency, and clinician performance   Resource referenced in this episode: Pronovost P, Needham D, Berenholtz S, et al.

Kevin and Peter sit down with Robby Chaney, who describes himself as a runner, hiker, and death marcher, and who has spent more time chasing cutoffs than almost anyone in the sport.Robby's first trail race was a 40K in 2018 that went so badly he wrote off trail running entirely. New shoes he'd never worn, a vest he'd never used, and temperatures over 100 degrees. Then a volunteer request for a race called Cocodona 250 landed in his inbox, and the number stuck in his head. Six years later he has four 200-mile finishes, a starring role in a film about the very thing he's spent his career outrunning, and a 2026 Grand Slam on the calendar.We get into what the back of the pack actually looks like from the inside: 100-plus hour races, aid stations where you turn around and walk straight back out, and the compounding physical, mental, and emotional cost of days on course. Robby also walks us through his 2025 Cocodona, where he made it to roughly mile 220 before his lungs quit on him in Walnut Canyon. Pulse ox in the low 80s, an IV, and a search and rescue extraction. (Peter, who also got to mile 220 and didn't finish, offers a competing explanation for his own DNF: he got tired.)The conversation closes somewhere we didn't expect. In 2002, Robby was stabbed by a stranger and left bleeding on the street. He woke up in the ICU and was told he'd probably never walk again. He used a cane for years. He turned 50 last month and is signed up for close to a thousand miles of racing.In this episode:(01:15) Aspirational ultrarunner: what "death march" actually means(02:26) What people get wrong about the back of the pack(05:41) From a miserable 40K to signing up for a 250(08:25) Coldwater Rumble 2024 and learning what a cutoff is mid-race(11:04) Respecting the cutoff without fearing it(13:37) DNFs as data points, and the trekking poles that cost him Mogollon Monster(16:27) Getting the email from Dylan and Emily, mid-race, on a ridgeline(19:40) What happened in Walnut Canyon(23:37) 2002, the ICU, and the twenty-year road backThe Cutoff is out from Aravaipa.

Your annual physical came back "normal," so why do you still feel foggy, tired, and stuck? Dr. Adrijana Kekic says your biology has probably been drifting for years before any standard test notices. Former Mayo Clinic pharmacogenomics specialist and Futurome founder Dr. Adrijana Kekic reveals what a standard 30 to 100 marker panel misses, how multi-omics testing catches metabolic drift early, and why women age differently after 40. After a preventable pulmonary embolism nearly killed her, she rebuilt her own health and now maps cellular aging for people who look fine on paper. Meet our guest Dr. Adrijana Kekic is a pharmacist and nutritionist trained in genetics, one of the first pharmacogenomics clinical specialists at Mayo Clinic and winner of its 2023 Innovation Award.

The highest mitochondrial density in women sits in the ovaries; decline can surface there before any blood test. Perimenopause is estrogen swinging up and down, not just falling; it hides on standard labs. Women make about 50% less gut serotonin than men, so fasting protocols should differ by sex.

ICU nurse Teresa Evans shares powerful stories of death, dying, and what she witnessed during her mother's final days, including moments of mystery, light, love, and profound presence.Death is one of life's greatest mysteries.We can talk about it, study it, fear it, prepare for it, and try desperately to understand what happens when a person takes their final breath. But ultimately, death remains one of the great unknowables.My guest on this episode, Teresa Evans, has spent much of her life close to that mystery.An ICU Nurse's Perspective on Death and DyingTeresa brings a unique perspective to conversations about death because she is grounded both in medical science and in lived experience.She believes in physiology. She believes in what medical imaging, tests, and the human body can tell us. And yet, after witnessing people die—and after experiencing the deaths of those closest to her—she also recognizes that there are moments at the end of life that seem to resist easy explanation.Grief and the Person Who Is DyingOne of the most important insights Teresa shares is about the difference between the experience of grieving and the experience of dying.The people who remain are often devastated. Even when we know that death may bring relief from suffering, even when we believe we are making the right decision, we still grieve.But Teresa believes we sometimes unintentionally place our grief on the person who is dying.A Mother's Final Days: 86 Days of LoveTeresa was 60 years old when her mother died.She reflects on how grateful she was to have reached that point in her own life. With decades of living behind her, she had witnessed relationships of many kinds and seen people come and go. She understood, on some level, that love and grief could exist simultaneously.The Sacred Moment of Her Mother's DeathWhen Teresa's mother finally died, Teresa describes the experience as the most sacred moment of her life.Not sacred in a heavy or formal sense.Sacred because she was fully present.This episode will be sure to tug at your heart-strings, but also remind you that Love is eternal and that our time is short, so make sure to tell those you love that you do...as often as possible.For other episodes that engage with this liminal space of Death, check these out below...In "Irish Magic and A Father's Love" Kathy Mahon details what happened at the bedside of her Father, who was dying.

Show Notes Should an acute lower-extremity DVT automatically stop mobility when anticoagulation is subtherapeutic? In this episode, Dr. Leo Arguelles and Dr. Nicole Neveau speak with Aubrey Little, PT, DPT, CCS, and Becky Johnson, PT, DPT, PhD, about the clinical question that grew from a quality-improvement project into a case-control study published in the Journal of Acute Care Physical Therapy. Little and Johnson explain why a single laboratory value or protocol checkpoint cannot replace a comprehensive assessment. They discuss weighing the risks of immobility against potential adverse events while considering clot location, medical acuity, hemodynamic status, medications, laboratory trends, discharge pressures and the patient's overall trajectory. The conversation also explores the documentation needed to make clinical reasoning visible and the value of bidirectional conversations with the interdisciplinary team. The study included 30 patients and 60 physical therapy sessions. Its findings do not establish that mobilization at subtherapeutic anticoagulation is universally safe. The researchers emphasize the limitations of a small retrospective sample and their inability to determine whether pulmonary embolism occurred. Instead, the episode offers a thoughtful look at risk stratification, evidence-informed judgment and how clinicians can question automatic holds without abandoning patient safety.

Today's Guests: Aubrey Little PT, DPT aulittle@gmail.com Becky Johnson PT, DPT, PhD rjohns1@midwestern.edu https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebecca-johnson-pt-dpt-phd-619244112/ Guest Quotes: 10:07 Aubrey “ I think that’s the intention of this paper is to really think about the patient more holistically as opposed to basing clinical decision-making off of one data point or one factor.” 13:09 Aubrey “ if somebody is working in an outpatient clinic, maybe they just had a knee replacement or a hip replacement and their suspicion for an acute DVT. Does that mean that we are going to, in the moment, suggest this person is fully immobilized, call the ambulance, call the stretcher- … you cannot walk on this limb until you make it to the hospital.” 19:18 Becky “ And so when we look at the adverse events that did occur, in retrospect we’re questioning, was that an adverse event? I think if you were the clinician treating the patient, you would’ve said no. But it did meet our criteria for that.” Rapid Responses:  Do either one of you guys know what your theme song would be if you got to have a theme song every time you walked into the room at the hospital?  Aubrey:” I would say September by Earth, Wind & Fire just ’cause that song immediately makes me dance.” Becky: “ Maybe the songs like, Look Who’s, Guess Who’s Back Again. Eminem.  You know you’re an acute care or an ICU provider when…  Aubrey: “You ask yourself, “Is one month too short to buy a new pair of shoes for work?” Becky: “ When you’ve got at least 8,000 steps by the time you get done with your shift.” Links: Incidence of Adverse Events When Mobilizing Patients With Acute Lower Extremity Deep Vein Thrombosis at Subtherapeutic Anticoagulation Level: A Case–Control Study

What separates a strong nurse anesthesia applicant from someone who simply looks impressive on paper? In this episode of Airway Exchange, Erin and Louisa sit down with Leah Gordon, DNP, APRN, CRNA, program director and assistant professor in the Nurse Anesthesiology Program at St. Mary's University of Minnesota and author of The Provider Mindset: A Complete Guide to Becoming a Competitive Nurse Anesthesiology Applicant. Together, they explore what educators are really looking for during the admissions process and why GPA, ICU experience, shadowing hours, and a polished interview only tell part of the story. Here's some of what you'll hear in this episode:

Are you prepared for your next endoscopy, or ready to review a legal case involving procedural sedation? In this episode of the Legal Nurse Podcast, Pat Iyer is joined by experienced critical care nurse Tracey Kappers to explore the complexities of IV sedation, particularly in the endoscopy suite. Tracey Kappers draws on her deep clinical background to reveal why sedation is far from routine and highlights the risks and responsibilities facing healthcare professionals. Together, Pat Iyer and Tracey Kappers discuss the importance of careful patient assessment, the roles of different medication providers, and the standards of care that must be met to ensure safety. They address the real-world scenarios that legal nurse consultants might be asked to review, cases that hinge on documentation, patient selection, and rapid response to emergencies in the procedure room. Whether you're a legal nurse consultant, a healthcare provider, or simply someone facing a future colonoscopy, this episode offers essential insights into procedural sedation, the medications involved, possible complications, and the critical safeguards every facility must follow. Listen in for expert advice and stories that underscore the high stakes in seemingly routine medical procedures. What You'll Learn in This Episode on Sedation Safety: Avoiding Catastrophic Outcomes in Outpatient Procedures Here are 5 discussion questions answered in the podcast: What are the key differences between moderate and deep sedation in procedural settings, and why is it critical that the person performing a procedure not also be the one administering and monitoring sedation? In which healthcare environments besides endoscopy suites can patients receive procedural sedation, and what unique risks might these settings pose? How does the ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) physical status classification system affect patient eligibility for outpatient procedural sedation? What responsibilities do nurses hold when assessing a patient's suitability for sedation, and how should they handle ambiguous or borderline assessments? How can disagreements or communication failures between providers and nurses regarding verbal medication orders impact patient safety and legal outcomes?

"One of the most controversial things I've done is stick around." It's been seven years since the Queen of Pop released 'Madame X,' the longest time between studio albums in her 40+ year career, and a lot's happened since then. A worldwide pandemic, of course, but for Madonna herself, a sudden and life-threatening experience in June 2023 when she contracted a severe bacterial infection that developed into sepsis and acute septic shock. She was hospitalized in the ICU, placed on a ventilator, and spent four days in a medically induced coma. And no one even knew until it was over. All just as she was about to embark on a world tour in support of her landmark 50 #1s on Billboard and the release of 'Finally Enough Love: 50 Number Ones,' the now best-selling album celebrating those 50 dance hits. A handful of shows were postponed but the tour, originally set to begin July 15, kicked off on October 14. But struggle wasn't finished with Madonna. Her eldest brother, Anthony, had died in February 2023 then in 2024 her stepmother Joan, who had raised Madonna since she was eight years old and her younger brother Christopher, art director on The Blonde Ambition tour and more, died within 10 days of each other in the fall. That means it's also been six years since the last episode of Talking Madonna with Erik and Abdi, a series where celebrated author and producer Abdi Nazemian and I broke down all 14 of her studio albums and even curated our own 'greatest hits' album where we each chose one song from each album (with a few cheats) to create the perfect Madonna record. Now it's time to talk 'Confessions II.' Please enjoy this new conversation between Abdi and myself, where we talk about the build up to the album and its first seven songs: "I Feel So Free," "Good For the Soul," "One Step Away," "Bring Your Love," "Danceteria," and "Everything." This episode runs 1h4m. Keep and eye out for part two soon. Confessions II by the numbers Released on July 3, 2026 Peaked at #1 on Billboard 200 album chart Length: 63:52 First week sales: 134,000 (currently at approximately 500K)

A plea for help over sky-rocketing hospitalisation rates of spre-schoolers for flu-related illnesses. Data from PHF Science shows significantly higher rates of Severe Acute Respiratory Infection than any other ethnicity or age-group, with this month the worst by far. The data for the week ending August 16th shows the Pasifika population had the highest hospitalisation rates by far - including in the ICU. Immunisation Advisory Centre Senior Maori Medical Advisor and GP, Dr Mamaeroa David spoke to John Campbell.

A woman walks into an ER with chest pain, vertigo, and dizziness. Every test comes back normal—no heart attack, no stroke. Most doctors would discharge her. But Dr. Adam Rizvi asks one question: “What is going on in your life?” And everything unravels. A decade of buried pain, an abandoned commitment, a pattern of abuse she fell back into. With just his presence and willingness to listen, she starts to heal herself. Dr. Rizvi doesn't see himself as a healer—he's a facilitator of love. He's a critical care neurologist who has witnessed deathbed visions, shared death experiences, and spontaneous healings. In this episode, we explore what happens when the body dies, why death is not a failure, and how a loving presence can heal more than words ever could.

Send us Fan MailA term newborn looks fine on mom's chest, then crashes within minutes. By the time transport arrives, there's a pH of 6.9, a lactate over 10, and a baby already intubated and on surfactant. Is this pulmonary hypertension, congenital heart disease, or something else entirely? In this episode of From the Heart, It's Complicated, Dr. Adrianne Bischoff and Dr. Nim Goldshtrom work through a real, complex neonatal cardiac case in real time — the kind of case that keeps neonatologists up at night. They break down how to clinically differentiate PPHN from congenital heart disease with limited data, why epinephrine's response mattered more than the blood pressure number, how therapeutic hypothermia can unmask cardiac dysfunction, and why "blue is always better than gray" when managing a shunt-dependent circulation. Along the way: real literature, real physiology, and the reasoning behind decisions made under pressure, with a surprise diagnosis at the end.

Tiffany Vulcain grew up neglected by her parents, cycled through group homes and juvenile detention, spent her teenage years around gang life, and hit the streets on her own after turning 18 before a credit card scheme and the wrong group of people produced a five year federal prison sentence — and had to give birth in one of the most isolating and most institutionally indifferent environments available. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, she shares what a childhood defined by neglect, group homes, and juvenile detention really produced before the streets found her, what the federal prison sentence that followed the credit card scheme actually looked like from the inside, and what being pregnant in federal prison and giving birth behind bars actually required of a woman who had spent her entire life fighting to survive systems that were never built to help her. _____________________________________________ #pregnancy #prison #truecrimestories #pregnant _____________________________________________ Connect with Tiffany Vulcain: https://www.instagram.com/tjvulcain/ _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction and Tiffany's Story 00:22 Early Life and Foster Care 01:18 Life in Jamaica vs. New York 02:10 Dysfunctional Home and Abuse 04:19 Running Away and Finding the Streets 06:11 Entering the Group Home 07:19 Freedom and Life of Crime Begins 09:40 Gang Involvement and Acceptance 10:46 Teenage Arrest and Juvenile Detention 13:13 Inside the Juvenile Facility 14:14 Returning Home and Foster Care Again 16:03 Aging Out and Exploitation 17:16 Escalating Crime and Credit Card Fraud 20:08 How the Fraud Worked 21:45 Facing the Victims 23:42 Self-Perception and Morality 24:42 Getting Caught in Virginia 27:59 The Federal Investigation 29:13 Turning Yourself In 31:28 The Plea Deal and Decision to Not Snitch 33:47 Estrangement from Family 34:15 Arrested Again While Pregnant 35:43 Experiencing Rikers Island 38:00 Sentencing and Lost Self-Surrender 40:08 Transport to MDC Brooklyn 41:40 The MINT Program and Women in MDC 43:57 Husband and Baby Plans 45:08 Giving Birth in Prison 53:16 Compassion vs. Desensitization 54:20 After Birth: Hospital and Advocacy 56:20 Baby in ICU and Special Permission 57:42 Leaving the Hospital Without Baby 01:00:42 Returning to Prison in Depression 01:02:02 Danbury Prison and Transition to Male Facility 01:04:12 Fight and Transfer to Philadelphia 01:07:23 The Shoe and Diesel Therapy 01:10:01 Flight with Chris Brown 01:11:42 Visits and Regret 01:12:24 Life in Philadelphia and Self-Discovery 01:14:00 Another Fight and Return to Brooklyn 01:15:20 Coming Home Without a Plan 01:16:00 Post-Prison Struggles and Betrayal 01:17:20 The Turning Point 01:19:20 Healing and Rebranding 01:20:14 Finding Purpose in Re-entry Work 01:22:51 Current Success and Roles 01:24:10 Message to Younger Self _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka

Nobody coordinated Lindsay Clancy's care. Four providers treated her in the months before her children died, and not one of them ever spoke to the others. Her nurse practitioner had no idea she'd seen her psychiatrist fourteen times in four months. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer and retired FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke join Tony Brueski to break down what that gap in care meant — and what the jury at Plymouth Superior Court has heard since. Clancy searched "hallucinations" on her phone five days before the killings. A postpartum program turned her away for already being overmedicated. Afterward, she jumped from a second-story window and is now permanently paralyzed; she also slashed her neck and wrists and went into cardiac arrest in the ICU. The prosecution rested after fourteen days and more than seventy witnesses. The defense opened that same afternoon with three: Lindsay's mother, her sister, and a former coworker. Patrick testified that Lindsay described hearing a man's voice telling her to act — prosecutors have never disputed she heard it, only argued she could have resisted it. None of the prosecution's own psychiatrists or nurse practitioners had ever treated a patient with postpartum psychosis before this trial. This episode walks through the missed coordination, the lopsided witness count, and what's left for the defense to prove. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Her nurse practitioner didn't know she'd seen her psychiatrist fourteen times in four months. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer and retired FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke join Tony Brueski to break down what that disconnect — and what came after it — mean for the jury at Plymouth Superior Court.

After the deaths she jumped from a second-story window, breaking her spine and leaving her permanently paralyzed; she also slashed her neck and wrists and went into cardiac arrest in the ICU. The Commonwealth rested its case after fourteen days and more than seventy witnesses, and the defense started that same afternoon with three: Lindsay's mother, her sister, and a former coworker. Her mother testified about a daughter who texted that something was wrong. Patrick told the jury Lindsay described hearing a man's voice telling her to act — prosecutors have never disputed that she heard it, only argued she could have resisted. None of the prosecution's own psychiatrists or nurse practitioners had ever treated a patient with postpartum psychosis before this case.

The providers responsible for keeping Lindsay Clancy stable in the months before her children died never once compared notes. Four of them treated her. None of them talked to each other. Her nurse practitioner didn't even know she'd seen her psychiatrist fourteen times in four months. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer and retired FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke join Tony Brueski for a full breakdown of what Plymouth Superior Court has heard — and what's coming next. Clancy searched "hallucinations" on her phone five days before the killings. A postpartum treatment program turned her away for being overmedicated already. She later jumped from a second-story window, leaving her permanently paralyzed, and separately slashed her own neck and wrists, going into cardiac arrest in the ICU. The prosecution rested after fourteen days and more than seventy witnesses; the defense answered that same afternoon with exactly three — Lindsay's mother, her sister, and a former coworker who called her a dedicated nurse. Patrick testified Lindsay described hearing a man's voice telling her to act, and prosecutors have never challenged that she heard it — only that she could have resisted. Not one of the Commonwealth's psychiatrists or nurse practitioners had ever treated a postpartum psychosis patient before this case. Coffindaffer and Dreeke lay out where the coordination broke down and whether three witnesses can carry the weight of seventy. 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 PICU Doc on Call, third-year PICU fellow Dr. Alexandria Edwards joins Drs. Pradip Kamat, Monica Gray, and Rahul Damania for a quick and practical dive into pediatric transport medicine. Dr. Edwards walks us through her go-to framework for handling transport calls, highlighting the importance of systematically checking vitals, respiratory support, the physical exam, labs, and any interventions. The team uses a real-life case of a 12-year-old with severe status asthmaticus to talk through how to pick the right transport mode, why it's best to avoid intubation if you can, and how to make sure you're on the same page with the ICU team before the patient arrives. The main message? Build a solid, structured approach to transport calls and practice it every time.Show Highlights:Overview of pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) fellowship and trainingImportance of transport medicine in the PICU settingFramework for handling transport calls effectivelyKey considerations for assessing patient stability during transportImportance of vital signs and current patient status in decision-makingStrategies for communicating with referring providersDiscussion of a specific case involving a pediatric patient with asthma exacerbationDecision-making process for mode of transport (ground vs. air)Role of critical care transport teams in patient transferTips for preparing the receiving ICU team for incoming patientsWe welcome your feedback and reviews.

Send us Fan MailWhy does reading in the NICU still feel optional when the evidence says otherwise? Daphna sits down with Paige Pedroli, author of the Nic Zoo book and two-time NICU mom, and Dr. Raquel Garcia, a craniofacial and feeding specialist, to unpack why reading to preterm and critically ill infants belongs alongside kangaroo care as neuropromotive, not just neuroprotective. They cover the evidence behind auditory stimulation and language outcomes, why reading gives overwhelmed parents a real role in their baby's care, and how units can build low-cost reading programs with book libraries and student volunteers. A practical, moving conversation for anyone building developmental care into daily NICU practice.

We know her and love her from jingles on all the socials with her husband, Steven. She documented her VBAC prep journey on the internet, and now Blair aka @6.lair is here sharing ALL details with The VBAC Link! About Blair: She's a 2x mom based in Michigan who had an unmedicated hospital VBAC in May 2026. As a pediatric ICU nurse herself, she's a huge advocate for patient centered care, non-pharmacological pain interventions, and informed consent. Her first birth was a scheduled C-section due to placenta previa. Her VBAC was just under 24 hours with AROM, lots of movement, using the shower during contractions, pushing for 1hr and 40 min, the fetal ejection reflex, and no tearing. You will walk away from her stories with such a deep understanding of the step-by-step process of unmedicated birth. From trying to induce spontaneous labor all the way to the nitty gritty of what recovery from a vaginal delivery feels like, Blair is a girl's girl who REALLY wants you to know what to expect. It was hard, transition was scary, pushing wasn't what she thought it would be, AND it was the most empowering thing she's ever done. VOTE for The VBAC LinkBlair's LinktreeThe Ultimate VBAC Prep Course for ParentsOnline VBAC Doula TrainingAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Two state troopers outside the door. A court order just to get in the room. That's the scene Dr. Paul Zeizel, Lindsay Clancy's clinical psychologist, described today at the Duxbury mother's murder trial, testifying about the first time he was allowed to see her in the surgical ICU after the killings. Clancy is accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and attorney Kevin Reddington is arguing an insanity defense centered on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Zeizel, who's met with Clancy more than 40 times, said that once he finally got access on February 4, she was handcuffed to the bed, disoriented about time and place but clear on who she was. She remembered the killings only faintly. He let her use his own phone to reach her husband Patrick — the first call went unanswered, the second got through — and on it she told Patrick she loved him, then described hearing a male voice commanding her to kill their children and herself. Zeizel testified he saw no sign she was lying, and noted that hearing voices shows up in roughly 80% of people experiencing psychosis. He also clarified the limits of his own role: psychologists handle testing, therapy, and treatment, but not medication.Clancy allegedly attempted suicide by jumping from a second-story window and remains paralyzed from the waist down. Patrick Clancy has since relocated to Manhattan. Zeizel returns to the stand Wednesday morning in Plymouth Superior Court.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Dr. Paul Zeizel, Lindsay Clancy's longtime clinical psychologist, took the stand today in the Duxbury, Massachusetts mother's murder trial — and gave jurors the closest thing yet to Clancy's own account of what happened inside that Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. Clancy is accused of strangling her three children, 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan, with exercise resistance bands. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and her attorney Kevin Reddington is mounting an insanity defense built on severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Zeizel testified he'd seen Clancy more than 40 times before that day. He wasn't allowed near her in the surgical ICU until a court order got him in at 12:30 p.m. on February 4 — by then she was handcuffed to the bed, two state troopers posted outside the door. He said she didn't know where she was or what day it was, but she knew her own name, and she remembered the killings, faintly, like something seen through fog. He let her use his phone to call her husband Patrick — twice, the first time going unanswered — and she told Patrick she loved him, then said a male voice had ordered her to kill their children and then herself. Zeizel didn't think she was lying. He also testified that roughly 80% of people experiencing psychosis report hearing voices.Clancy allegedly attempted suicide afterward by jumping from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Patrick Clancy has since relocated to Manhattan. Zeizel's testimony resumes Wednesday. Trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court before Judge William F. Sullivan.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
