What happens when a lifelong emergency physician steps back from clinical practice and dedicates himself to helping other doctors navigate the impossible job of medicine? In Part 1 of a two-part episode, Dr. Rob Orman joins Dr. Andrea Austin to share his remarkable path, from documenting mass casualty events to becoming a technical advisor for the hit HBO series The Pit, and ultimately building a coaching practice that helps physicians create meaningful change in their behavior and careers. Together they discuss the importance of awareness, the space between stimulus and response, cognitive empathy, and why art and storytelling may be powerful vehicles for transforming healthcare. Rob also opens up about his own career struggles and the deep fulfillment he finds in one-on-one behavioral coaching. They discussed: How documenting mass casualty events led to advising on The Pit The career shift from full-time clinician and educator to physician coach Why “not everyone thinks like you do”, and the power of cognitive empathy Building awareness and creating the pause between stimulus and response Behavioral coaching for physicians on performance plans or struggling with reactivity The role of storytelling and art in driving healthcare change Lessons from burnout, skill decay, and career transitions

In this episode of NOON, I'm joined by Jeff, better known as Redbeard the Medic. Jeff is a flight paramedic, educator, and content creator who brings a raw, honest perspective to EMS, patient care, and the realities of learning at a higher level. We talk about his journey from the fire service into EMS, the difficult calls that still stay with him, what it's really like stepping into flight, and why kindness can leave a bigger impact on patients than we sometimes realize. This was a real conversation about growth, humility, burnout, advocacy, and the people we carry with us in this job.Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/1vAokfqG5aifoRBKk9MAUh?si=T8DipSBCQzWfOeiBW3h-VwFB Page: https://m.facebook.com/groups/nineoneonenonsense/?ref=shareInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/911nonsense/X: https://twitter.com/911NonsenseBonfire Merch: https://www.bonfire.com/store/nine-one-one-nonsense/?utm_source=copy_link&utm_medium=store_page_share&utm_campaign=nine-one-one-nonsense&utm_content=defaultContent Warning: This episode contains discussions about death, including graphic and potentially triggering details.

Healthcare is filled with great ideas, promising technologies, and passionate clinicians, but why do so many innovation efforts fail? In this episode, Dale Ellicott joins Dr. Andrea Austin to explore what it really takes to create sustainable change in healthcare. From his early experiences introducing groundbreaking rehabilitation technologies to his current work at Rely Health, Dale shares lessons about resistance to change, organizational alignment, and the importance of putting patients first. Together, they discuss the realities of value-based care, the challenges clinicians face when navigating fragmented healthcare systems, and the growing role of AI in supporting, not replacing human connection. Dale explains how Rely Health combines agentic AI with human care navigators to help patients schedule appointments, access transportation, connect with primary care, and overcome barriers that often lead to poor outcomes and avoidable readmissions. The conversation offers practical guidance for clinicians, leaders, and innovators who want to move beyond pilot programs and build solutions that truly improve healthcare delivery. They discussed: How a values-based decision shaped Dale's career in healthcare innovation Why healthcare organizations struggle to adopt new technology The dangers of "pilotitis" and failed innovation projects How AI-powered care navigation improves patient follow-up Lessons for clinicians who want to become successful change-makers
Vasarā laikapstākļi mēdz būt viens no iemesliem, kāpēc notiek negadījumi un cilvēku gūst traumas. Biežāk arī notiek nelaimes. Tiesa, laikapstākļi var būt „bīstami” visos gadalaikos, ja ziemā tās ir slidenas ielas un ceļi, vasarā, protams, visas āra aktivitātes, ko ļauj siltāks laiks. Turklāt gaidāmajās Jāņu brīvdienās kļūs krietni vasarīgāks un tas ir laiks, kad cilvēki burtiski metas baudīt visu, ko vasara sniedz un aizmirst par drošību. Tāpēc pirms svētkiem saruna ar Neatliekamās Medicīniskās palīdzības mediķi Aiviju Bankevicu. Viņa strādā mediķu brigādē Vidzemes pusē, Skrīveru apkārtnē. Ar 12 gadu pieredzi, kuros piedzīvojusi gan to, kā karstumā cilvēki jāglābj burtiski no dārza vagas, kurā strādājot ir pārkarsuši, gan to, kā sniegi un ledi neļauj nokļūt līdz pacientam.
No zirgu pajūga līdz īpaši aprīkotam transportam, kas spēj uz lauku ceļa pieņemt gan dzemdības, gan reanimēt pacientu. Neatliekamās palīdzības iespējas simts gadu laikā ir piedzīvojušas teju neticamas pārmaiņas un labi, ka tā, jo šodien mūsu iespējas saņemt ātru mediķa palīdzību ir krietni lielākas nekā agrāk. Tikai pirms nedaudz vairāk kā simts gadiem Jēkaba kazarmās ar zirgu pajūgu tika nogādāti sasirgušie un darboties sāka Ātrās ārsta palīdzības stacija. Tie bija mūsdienu neatliekamās medicīniskās palīdzības pirmsākumi. Kā gadu gaitā mainījies Neatliekamās medicīniskās palīdzības dienesta darbs? Raidījumā Zināmais nezināmajā stāsta Jūrmalas muzeja pētnieks Mārtiņš Vesperis un Rīgas Stradiņa universitātes Medicīnas vēstures institūta pētnieks, Neatliekamās medicīnas ārsta palīgs Rafaels Ciekurs.
CELÝ ROZHOVOR V DÉLCE 68 MIN. JEN NA HTTPS://HEROHERO.CO/CESTMIR A HTTPS://FORENDORS.CZ/CESTMIR „Důležitá součást naší práce je nebrat se vážně a neustále přemýšlet, kde to máme špatně,“ říká biochemik Jan Konvalinka o vědě, která podle něj nestojí jen na odpovědích, ale hlavně na pochybnostech. Mluví o boji s virem HIV, Antonínu Holém i o tom, proč ho po pár letech baví měnit téma a dělat něco úplně jiného. Velkou část rozhovoru ale věnuje i Česku. „V našem zájmu je co nejvyšší vzdělanost,“ říká a varuje, že regiony ztrácejí talenty a malá země si nemůže dovolit nechat talentované děti propadnout systémem. Z Litvínova si nese citlivost k Sudetům a odsunu Němců, o němž říká, že to není problém Němců, ale „náš vnitřní problém“. „Sami jsme si hrozně ublížili,“ říká a varuje, že se dnes „průmyslově rozdmýchává nenávist“, protože vystrašit lidi a ukázat jim nepřítele je nejjednodušší způsob, jak je ovládnout. Slušná země je podle něj taková, kde se dodržují nepsaná pravidla, kde platí zákon, kde je justice nezávislá a kde můžete veřejně říkat svoje názory. A i když si nemyslí, že už je z Česka „orbánovská země“, nebezpečí podle něj hrozí. „Možná ještě i naši generaci čeká pár důležitých morálních rozhodnutí,“ říká. Jako člověk spojený s covidovou debatou trvá na tom, že vakcíny zachránily miliony životů a u nás pravděpodobně několik desítek tisíc. Očkování označuje za nejlevnější, nejjednodušší a vlastně přírodní způsob, jak podpořit vlastní imunitu, zatímco homeopatii považuje za placebo a šarlatánství. „V ordinaci lékaře, kterému věřím, bych nechtěl vidět homeopatika,“ říká. Zároveň zůstává technooptimistou. Umělá inteligence je podle něj ve vědě famózní nástroj, který už pomáhá navrhovat proteiny a nové léky. „To je revoluce v medicíně,“ hodnotí. Jenže stejně jako u internetu přiznává, že tehdy nedohlédl rizika a dnes mezi mladšími kolegy pozoruje něco, co by skoro nazval „epidemií osamělosti“. Konvalinka mluví také o editování genů, embryích a hranici, za kterou už věda nesmí jen proto, že něco umí. „Život je něco víc než jen soubor buněk,“ říká a dodává, že víra pro něj není učebnice geologie ani astronomie, ale text o vztahu člověka a smyslu života. V závěru vysvětluje i to, proč jako ředitel instituce váží slova, proč po 7. říjnu vyvěsili izraelskou vlajku a proč mu bojkot izraelských akademických institucí připadá absurdní. Proč podle Jana Konvalinky Česko potřebuje zůstat trochu nudnou a slušnou zemí? Co jsme se z covidu nenaučili a proč je důvěra v instituce důležitější než nové léky? Kde může AI zachraňovat životy a kde je pro člověka nebezpečná? A jak se má věda rozhodovat ve chvíli, kdy už dokáže zasahovat do samotných základů života? Poslechněte si celý rozhovor.
"Nepieskaitāmie. Dzīvības tehnoloģijas un nākotnes cilvēks" ir jauna izstāde Paula Stradiņa Medicīnas muzejā. Kultūras rondo par ētiskajiem jautājumiem, kurus izvirza izstāde, pārrunājam ar tās kuratoriem Igoru Gubenko un Kasparu Vanagu. Laikā, kad militārie konflikti pasaulē, toskait Krievijas karš Ukrainā, pierāda, ka centieni pasludināt kādu tautu par mazvērtīgāku kā attaisnojums savai agresijai diemžēl nav tikai pagātnes tumsonība, bet arī baisa šodienas realitāte, Paula Stradiņa Medicīnas vēstures muzejā tapusi izstāde, kas citstarp jautā: kas notiek, kad ambīcijas zinātniski noteikt un politiski kontrolēt, kāda dzīvība ir vēlama, zaudē cilvēcību? Un kādi ir upuri cilvēku idejām par šķietami labāku nākotni? Izstāde "Nepieskaitāmie" tapusi lielā kopdarbā: trīs kuratori – Māra Traumane, Igors Gubenko un Kaspars Vanags, galvenā pētniece Anna Žabicka un vēl plaša radošā komanda. Šī izstāde aptver ļoti daudz pagātnes liecību un aicina uz tām raudzīties šodienas kontekstā. Zinātnes centieni mūs padarīt arvien veselīgākus, ilgmūžīgākus un spējīgākus ir reizē vilinoši un riskanti. Sevis pašu labad daudzi gatavi riskēt uz nebēdu. Bet kas notiek, kad it kā „labākas nākotnes” vārdā cilvēks sāk lemt par to, vai un kādiem būs tiesības būt vai nebūt citiem? No izturīgāku ābeļu un pienīgāku govju selekcionēšanas līdz cilvēku piespiedu sterilizācijai – tik plašā amplitūdā par šo ideju runā izstāde "Nepieskaitāmie. Dzīvības tehnoloģijas un nākotnes cilvēks".
In this episode of the PFC Podcast, Dennis sits down with David Plaster — former U.S. Army combat nurse, medic, and 68 Delta who has lived and worked in Ukraine since 2012, long before the full-scale invasion. David pulls back the curtain on one of the most remarkable stories in modern tactical medicine: how Ukraine built resilient, dispersed, underground manufacturing networks for hemostatic gauze and tourniquets when conventional supply chains collapsed or became targets.From the very first improvised IFACs in 2014 (duct-tape chest seals and all) to scaling production of Krovin Goss / Hemostat gauze at roughly $1 per meter and developing a functional “cat-style” tourniquet that Ukrainian and U.S. SOF tested and trusted, David shares the real mechanics of wartime medical logistics. He explains pre-planned basement factories, compartmentalized production across multiple hidden sites, the shift from volunteers to paid war widows and veterans' families, rigorous quality control, and the constant fight against opportunists, “carpet baggers,” and adversarial intelligence collection.This is far more than a war story — it's a masterclass in austere medical manufacturing, supply-chain resilience, and why training and knowledge will always outperform gear alone.Key Takeaways:Pre-war planning and deep personal networks (built years earlier) are the real force multipliers when supply chains get bombed or corrupted.Highly motivated local workforces — especially people with direct skin in the game (war widows, veterans' families) — can deliver exceptional quality and output even in dispersed, low-tech underground conditions.Dramatic cost advantages ($1/m hemostatic gauze vs. $10+ imported) free up resources to buy more of everything else and keep production sustainable.Dispersed, multi-site manufacturing with compartmentalized components dramatically increases survivability and operational security.Functional analogs that are properly tested (double-blind SOF trials included) can serve as effective bridges when premium Western gear is unavailable or too expensive.The biggest failure point in tactical medicine is almost never the gear — it's implementation and mastery of the basics by everyone, not just medics. Tourniquet application, conversion/repositioning, and preventive medicine thinking belong at the squad-leader level.Medics must operate as advisors and educators. Command emphasis on these skills across the force (not just in the aid bag) is what actually moves the needle on survival.Chapters:00:00 – Introduction & David Plaster's Background (U.S. Army combat nurse in Ukraine since 2012)02:30 – Early Days: 2014 Improvisation, First IFACs, and the Complete Absence of Western TCCC06:00 – The Krovin Goss / Hemostat Gauze Story: Chemistry, Corruption, and the Pivot Underground11:30 – Going Underground: Pre-Planned Basements, Plan B/C/D, and Dispersed Manufacturing Strategy16:00 – Why the Tourniquet Project Started: Fake Chinese Gear, Expensive CATs, and Local Demand23:30 – The Manufacturing Model: Volunteers to Paid Staff, War-Affected Workers, and Quality Control27:00 – Security Realities: Protecting Sites from “Carpet Baggers,” Visitors, and Adversarial Interest30:00 – Bigger Lessons: Training Failures, ASM/Tourniquet Conversion Changes, and Why Knowledge > Gear36:00 – Preventive Medicine Mindset, Medics as Advisors, and Building Systems That Actually WorkFor more content, go to www.prolongedfieldcare.orgConsider supporting us: patreon.com/ProlongedFieldCareCollective or www.lobocoffeeco.com/product-page/prolonged-field-care

Dr Daniel Nour considers himself an accidental change maker, but he is also a pretty prodigious one. A doctor, inspired by the health care that helped his brother as a child, it was an experience offering emergency medical care to a homeless man in London during his medical studies that left him unable to ignore the gaps in the healthcare system, especially for marginalised communities.In response in Australia he created Street Side Medics, a mobile general practice unit that meets and provides medical care to people that are homeless in the places where they are at - at food venues. It started in Sydney and has spread across Australia. His work led him to be recognised as 2022 Young Australian of the Year.Here he talks about that journey and what he learnt creating something from nothing. He explores the art of founding an organisation, the limits of planning and the importance of mentors and vision.For more on Street Side Medics: https://www.streetsidemedics.com.au/For more on ChangeMakers check us out:Via our Website - https://changemakerspodcast.org (where you can also sign up to our email list!)Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ChangeMakersPodcast/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/changemakerspodcast/Threads: https://www.threads.com/@changemakerspodcastBlue Sky: https://www.threads.com/@amandatattersall.bsky.socialFor more on the books and Amanda's writing, have a look at:Amanda's website - https://amandatattersall.com/ Conscious Tribes: thinking differently about making a difference - here and via Hardie GrantPeople Power in Cities - here and via Oxford Uni PressOn Substack - https://substack.com/@amandatattersallOn Medium - https://amandatatts.medium.com/And - her much earlier book about coalition building - Power in Coalition and via Cornell Uni PressAmanda is on Socials here:On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amandatattersall/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/amanda.tattersallBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/amandatattersall.bsky.socialThreads: https://www.threads.com/@amandatattersallTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@amanda.tattersallAmanda's website - https://amandatattersall.com/ Hosted on Acast.

What does it take to drive meaningful change in healthcare when systems feel broken and institutional betrayal runs deep? Dr. Jessica Bunin, a retired Army Colonel with deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, joins Dr. Andrea Austin to discuss her remarkable journey from psychiatrist to critical care physician and senior academic leader. Through compelling stories; including dramatically reducing ICU central line infections by empowering unexpected team members, Jessica reveals how shifting from “extreme ownership” to true team-building, practicing moral courage, and mastering civil discourse can rebuild trust and create healthier healthcare cultures. The conversation explores self-awareness as the foundation of effective leadership, the CLEAR framework for civil discourse, navigating institutional betrayal, and why leadership development must become central to medical education. You'll hear how they: Address institutional betrayal and moral injury by focusing on micro-cultures and small-team empowerment Build high-impact teams by including unexpected voices and shifting from doing things to people to doing things with them Practice moral courage in everyday healthcare settings, from challenging hierarchy to protecting patient safety Use the CLEAR framework (Create safety, Listen actively, Establish common ground, Adjust thinking, Respond skillfully) for productive conversations across difference Develop self-aware leaders who build trust and drive system-level transformation About the Guests “Civil discourse is our way forward.” – Dr. Jessica Bunin Dr. Jessica Bunin is a retired Army Colonel, critical care physician, and former psychiatrist with 23 years of service including deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan.

What if the biggest threat to healthcare isn't just burnout, but the belief that suffering is simply part of the job? In this deeply validating and practical conversation, Dr. Andrea Austin welcomes Dr. Sarah Smith, to unpack the hidden habits and systemic pressures that keep clinicians trapped in unsustainable work patterns. Dr. Smith shares her personal journey of spending years staying late after clinic, working evenings and weekends, and feeling crushed by the endless demands of medicine. What began as frustration with change initiatives eventually became a transformative realization: sustainability in medicine required changing not just the system, but also the way clinicians interact with it. Together, Andrea and Sarah discuss the emotional burden of perfectionism, the trauma many physicians carry from training, and how documentation fears often stem from past criticism and adverse outcomes. They explore practical strategies for reducing interruptions, improving workflow, documenting in real time, and setting healthier boundaries with teams. The conversation also challenges the myth that changing healthcare systems or countries automatically solves burnout. Drawing from her experience practicing in both Australia and Canada, Dr. Smith explains why sustainability must ultimately come from developing new skills, new boundaries, and new ways of thinking. Most importantly, this episode offers hope: impossible things can become possible. Physicians can build careers that are meaningful, sustainable, and aligned with the lives they actually want to live. Inside This Episode: Why so many physicians stay hours after their shifts finish The hidden emotional impact of perfectionism in charting How medical training trauma shapes documentation habits Practical ways to reduce interruptions and cognitive overload Why real-time documentation improves efficiency and safety The importance of boundaries, teamwork, and shift huddles How healthcare systems can better support frontline clinicians Why changing countries or jobs doesn't automatically fix burnout The role of coaching in building sustainable careers What sustainability in medicine truly looks like
Nebolo to tak vždy... a vlastne to nie je tak ani všade. Ale dnes liečime najmä vďaka medicíne založenej na dôkazoch: no medicína založená na dôkazoch sa začala presadzovať až koncom 50-tych rokov. Pozrieme sa teda, ako sa to stalo. Tento týždeň sa v podcaste Zoom obzrieme za vznikom medicíny založenej na dôkazoch a NASA predstavila svoje mesačné plány.

In this raw and unflinching episode of the Prolonged Field Care Podcast, Dennis sits down with Thad Snyder (physician, former medic, and brigade surgeon) to tackle one of the most uncomfortable topics in combat medicine: what happens when resources run out, evacuation timelines collapse, and “doing everything” is no longer possible.Drawing from a 72-page crisis standards of care memo (originally written for flu and updated for COVID), Thad explains the shift from standard → contingency → crisis care, the ethical duty to plan for no-win scenarios, and why medics, teams, and leaders must have real conversations about capabilities, limitations, and what “living” actually means after catastrophic injury. They explore palliative/comfort care in austere environments, the emotional weight of those decisions, and practical ways to share the burden so the medic isn't left carrying it alone.Essential listening for medics, operators, team leaders, and anyone preparing for large-scale combat or prolonged operations where the next casualty might not get a bird out for days or weeks.Key TakeawaysThere is a duty to plan for crisis standards of care before you're in the middle of it.Leaders and teams must understand the real capabilities and limitations of their medics—not the 437-task training list.Pre-mission conversations about quality of life, advanced directives, and unacceptable outcomes give medics a moral framework when they have to make the hardest calls.Palliative/comfort care is already happening in modern conflicts (Ukraine, etc.) even if no one wants to talk about it.The emotional and moral burden of end-of-life decisions cannot fall solely on the medic—teams and leaders must share ownership.Staying busy to “do something” can sometimes cause more harm than shifting to dignity-focused comfort care.Chapters00:00 – Intro & Pulling the Crisis Standards Memo from the Closet00:56 – Standard, Contingency, and Crisis Care: What Changes When Resources Vanish02:51 – The Duty to Plan: Preparing for No-Win Scenarios04:55 – Why Commanders Need Brutally Honest Briefs on Medic Capabilities06:20 – Surgical Team Limitations, Non-Survivable Injuries, and Realistic Expectations08:40 – Advanced Directives, Quality of Life, and “Living vs. Being Alive”11:36 – Palliative Care in Large-Scale Combat (Ukraine, Future Conflicts)13:15 – How (and When) to Have These Conversations with Your Team14:38 – The Emotional Reality: Holding Someone's Hand While They Die Is Harder Than Any Procedure20:33 – Real Hospital Examples of Hard End-of-Life Discussions25:58 – What Outcomes Actually Matter to Warriors?

Send us Fan MailI left the previous interview on a cliff hanger. I wanted you all to not only come back to hear the circumstances surrounding Jay's shooting, but I believe the bumps in the road of his career can speak to so many of us who choose to be a first responder. It's easy to glamorize and gloss over the highlights, but I'm overwhelmed and honored that so many guests have walked through the door and been completely authentic and real. I believe my Squad of listeners would detect anything less than real truth. It's a standard we should all aspire to and I'm so grateful for everyone brave enough to come on the show and share without holding back.It takes courage to do the job, and it takes courage to know when to call it and move on. I can respect and appreciate everyone I know who has served honorably...but know when enough is enough.Please tune in, turn it up and enjoy the show.

What happens when a sharp-eyed cruise ship doctor spots a hantavirus amid a sea of hangovers and flu symptoms? In this high-stakes episode of the Prolonged Field Care Podcast, Dennis sits down with Dr. Ryan Maves — combat-experienced infectious disease expert and military medicine veteran — to break down the shocking recent Andes virus outbreak.Far from the next global pandemic, hantaviruses are a real, rodent-borne threat that has hit soldiers before (Korean War, anyone?) and can strike deployed units in austere environments. Ryan delivers hard-hitting insights on rapid diagnosis, the “off-script” decompensation that screams hantavirus, supportive care when there's no magic antiviral, and — most importantly — prevention strategies that actually work in the field.If you operate in rodent-infested buildings, set up in abandoned structures, or just want to trust your gut when a patient goes south fast, this episode is required listening. Real talk from the A-team who are currently managing these patients stateside.Key TakeawaysClassic presentation: Flu-like prodrome (fever, fatigue, myalgias, GI upset) for a few days followed by sudden shock, respiratory failure, and decompensation.Bedside diagnostic gold: Thrombocytopenia (low platelets) + hemoconcentration (elevated hematocrit) in a previously healthy patient = major red flag.Treatment reality: Purely supportive — fluids, pressors, oxygen, renal support. No silver-bullet antiviral; ribavirin has limited data at best.Prevention beats everything: Humans are dead-end hosts. Avoid aerosolizing rodent urine/feces/droppings (no dry sweeping!). Use bleach, N95 (or equivalent), gloves, and gown.Human-to-human spread: Extremely rare except with Andes virus (this outbreak strain). Still, treat unknowns with respect.Military relevance: Endemic in deployment zones worldwide; occupying previously rat-infested buildings is a classic risk. History tied directly to U.S. troops in Korea.Mindset: When things go “off script,” trust your clinical instincts over machines. The best tool in the field is still an experienced medic's gut.Chapters00:00 – Welcome back to the PFC Podcast00:26 – Introducing Dr. Ryan Maves & the cruise ship outbreak00:55 – Why this isn't the next pandemic… but still matters03:04 – Military relevance: hantaviruses in deployment zones03:51 – How the cruise ship doc nailed the diagnosis05:27 – Clinical syndrome & the “virus-y” prodrome07:04 – Key labs: thrombocytopenia + hemoconcentration explained09:42 – Disease progression and why young healthy people can still crash10:50 – History of hantaviruses (Korean War → Sin Nombre → Andes)12:21 – Who actually dies and why14:50 – Biocontainment units and the military experts on the case17:35 – Treatment in the field: supportive care only19:35 – Shock management: distributive + capillary leak20:55 – Prevention is king: rodent control & PPE tactics24:22 – Human-to-human transmission (Andes virus exception)27:31 – Infection control, differential diagnosis, and real-world precautions30:08 – Final thoughts: clinical acumen, zoonoses, and trusting your instincts32:32 – Closing & where to find more PFC contentGrab your N95 and hit playFor more content, go to www.prolongedfieldcare.orgConsider supporting us: patreon.com/ProlongedFieldCareCollective or www.lobocoffeeco.com/product-page/prolonged-field-care
What happens when excellence makes others uncomfortable? In this deeply personal solo episode, Dr. Andrea Austin introduces the concept of Tall Poppy Syndrome, the tendency for high achievers to be criticized, diminished, or excluded simply because they stand out. Drawing from her own experiences and the stories of coaching clients, she explores how this dynamic often shows up in healthcare organizations, leadership structures, and academic medicine. Dr. Austin unpacks the connection between tall poppy syndrome and gaslighting, the emotional impact of professional rejection, and the difficult process of discerning when to fight for accountability versus when to leave toxic environments behind. She also reflects on the importance of self-awareness, humility, healthy conflict, and community in sustaining meaningful growth. This episode is ultimately a reminder that being different, courageous, or innovative does not make you the problem. Sometimes it simply means you've outgrown the field you're standing in, and it's time to find one where you can thrive alongside other tall poppies. Inside This Episode: What Tall Poppy Syndrome is and why it shows up in medicine How gaslighting is often used to diminish high achievers Why professional rejection can feel devastating for physicians The importance of healthy conflict, coaching, and self-reflection Finding communities where growth and authenticity are celebrated
Ikvienu cilvēku veido triljoni šūnu, kas dzīvo diezgan intensīvu dzīvi. Izrādās, ne visas šūnas iet bojā pēc tam, kad vairs nespēj dalīties. Dažas paliek mūsu organismā un sāk pastiprināti ražot vielas, kas veicina iekaisumu. Kā tas notiek un kā ietekmē mūsu orgānu veselību, un kā šīs šūnas iznīcināt? Ir kāds process mūsu organismā, kas norit klusi nemanot, radot mums gan dažādas slimības, gan paātrinot novecošanu. Ne visas šūnas, pārstājot dalīties, iet bojā. Dažas paliek aktīvas un rada mūsu organismā nevēlamas sekas - ne reti tās dēvē par zombiju šūnām. Raidījumā plašāk skaidro medicīnas zinātņu doktore, Latvijas Universitātes tenūrprofesore precīzijas medicīnā Una Riekstiņa un Latvijas Organiskās sintēzes institūta Farmaceitiskās farmakoloģijas laboratorijas vadošā pētniece un Rīgas Stradiņa universitātes Farmācijas fakultātes profesore Maija Dambrova. Uzklausām arī sertificētu uztura speciālisti Gunu Bīlandi. Cik ilgs laiks nepieciešams, lai limfas šķidrums apceļotu visu mūsu organismu? Aplūkojot cilvēka ķermeņa orgānu sistēmu shematiskus zīmējumus, līdzās asinsrites orgānu sistēmai ir vēl kāda tikpat svarīga, kas caurauž mūsu organismu, bet par kuru ikdienā, iespējams, runājam mazāk. Tā ir limfātiskā sistēma. Līdzīgi kā asinsritē arī limfātiskā sistēma sastāv no caurulītēm - dažāda lieluma limfas vadiem, pa kuriem plūst limfa. Ar limfātiskās sistēmas nozīmi plašāk iepazīstina Līga Ozoliņa-Molla, Latvijas Universitātes Medicīnas un dzīvības zinātņu fakultātes Sabiedrības veselības un veselības aprūpes nodaļas asociētā profesore. Kas tad limfa īsti ir, kā tā mūsu organismā veidojas un vai tas notiek pastāvīgi?
It's time for Ask the Medic! Where an expert joins to answer any of your health-related questions.This week, guest host Anna Daly is joined by Dr Niall Breen from the Portmarnock GP Clinic to answer your medical questions!
Inkontinence a potíže spojené s poklesem pánevních orgánů jsou témata, která v Česku trápí statisíce žen, a přesto o nich v soukromí často jen šeptáme. Nejde o onemocnění, která by přímo ohrožovala na životě, ale dokáží ho neuvěřitelně znepříjemnit. Inkontinence omezuje v pohybu, v radosti z koníčků i v běžném sebevědomí. Každá žena je však jiná a stejně tak i její cesta k úlevě.
Send us Fan MailJay reached out and asked to be on the show. He is currently an Air Medic, but his service started right out of high school. He joined the US Navy and became a Corpsman. His stories from this formative period in his life helped him grow up quickly, but he also worked with some extremely professional individual s who taught him the value of competence and confidence.He joined the Pima County Sheriff's Department and continued to serve the community. During this time, he learned that he was on the autism spectrum, and it helped him understand why his thought process on calls, enforcement of the law, and everyday interaction with his peers was different than others around him. He told me he thought it was important to share this part of his experience because he imagines there are others out there and they might find value in his willingness to share. I enjoyed his perspective, we had a very long chat (I thought I talked a lot) and so I've split this conversation into two episodes...but I urge you to catch the entire conversation because the great stories just continued to roll and roll.

What to listen for:“Everything I knew about my dog that I thought was true a week ago is no longer true. I have to reset my baseline and go, ‘Who are you today?'”Our hosts, Robin Greubel and Stacy Barnett, pick up the conversation with Joy Brenner of K9 Medic. This time, they're talking about turning everyday crate time into deliberate heat acclimation.Joy explains that many handlers keep cars too cold, creating a dangerous temperature “delta” that leaves dogs physiologically unprepared for field work. Instead, she programs her dog Storm by running the car just below panting level during downtime, shrinking that gap and building real biological tolerance. This is exactly what military and kennel dogs get by living outside.High-fidelity monitoring makes it safe.Cheap baby cameras with temperature readouts and night vision let handlers watch remotely and check every 20 minutes during high-risk windows (right after work or when AC fails) because “temperature has momentum” and cars remain a leading cause of preventable heat death.They discuss crate fans, breathable pads, reflective car covers, and the limited but situational value of cooling vests (ask your dog). Another practical tip is to do two-minute “t-checks” (transitions checks) at every car entry, with copious water and paw inspections.Whether traveling from Iowa's sweaty season to mountain fires or simply switching seasons, it's important to reset baselines daily and support the dog you actually have today.

What happens when the medications and supplies clinicians rely on simply aren't there, or worse, aren't what they claim to be? In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Andrea Austin sits down with Tony Paquin as he shares his journey from technology entrepreneur to healthcare supply chain disruptor, revealing the complex and fragile systems behind the delivery of drugs and medical supplies. From saline shortages caused by hurricanes to the global dependence on manufacturing in China and India, Tony explains why the current system is more vulnerable than most clinicians realize. Dr. Austin and Tony explore the risks of single-source vendor agreements, the lack of transparency in drug manufacturing, and the surprising gaps in quality assurance for imported medications. They also discuss the role of policy, the potential for domestic manufacturing, and how artificial intelligence and innovation could reshape the future of healthcare logistics. Most importantly, this conversation challenges clinicians to expand their role, not just as caregivers, but as informed advocates who understand and engage with the systems that directly impact patient outcomes. Inside This Episode: Why drug shortages are increasing, and what's driving the crisis The hidden risks of globalized pharmaceutical manufacturing How single-source supply contracts make healthcare systems vulnerable The truth about drug quality, regulation, and patient safety Practical ways clinicians can advocate for better supply chain systems If you've ever assumed the system “just works,” this episode will change the way you see healthcare forever.

What happens when big business runs healthcare and clinicians are pushed out of decision-making? In this powerful conversation, Dr. Harry Severance shares decades of clinical and educational experience to diagnose the root causes of our workforce crisis: moral injury, profit-over-patient priorities, and the exodus of burned-out physicians and nurses. Dr. Severance and Dr. Austin explore multi-tiered healthcare solutions, the unsustainability of the current U.S. system, barriers like the Stark Law, the growing unionization movement, and practical paths for clinicians to reclaim agency, both top-down (seats at the C-suite table) and bottom-up (advocacy and collective action). You'll hear how they: Examine the shift from patient-centered care to corporate metrics and its devastating impact on clinician wellbeing and patient outcomes Discuss alarming statistics: more physicians leaving than entering the U.S., projected shortages, and unpayable medical bills driving bankruptcies Challenge the status quo on single-payer vs. hybrid systems and the need for baseline healthcare access for all citizens Address apathy vs. agency and the power of persistence, political involvement, and community action Emphasize the timeless wisdom of “never give up” even when the system feels overwhelmingly broken If you're feeling the weight of a corporate-dominated healthcare system or searching for ways to drive meaningful change, this episode delivers both hard truths and hopeful calls to action. About the Guest: “You can't always get what you want. But if you try, sometimes you just might find you get what you need.” - Dr. Harry Severance Dr. Harry Severance is an Assistant Adjunct Professor at Duke University with decades of clinical experience in emergency and acute care medicine. A passionate change-maker and workforce advocate, he has counseled countless physicians and clinicians navigating burnout and disillusionment. Dr. Severance writes and speaks on healthcare system reform, clinician wellbeing, and the urgent need to return clinical voices to healthcare leadership.
In this episode, Master Sergeant (Retired) John Lu joins WarDocs to share his profound journey from a conventional Army medic to a Special Forces 18 Delta and ultimately a doctoral graduate. MSG(R) Lu's narrative is a masterclass in professional evolution, highlighting how he pursued a bachelor's, master's, and doctorate while serving twenty years on active duty. He addresses the perceived barriers to higher education within the enlisted ranks, emphasizing that personal and professional development can—and should—coincide with mission priorities. By framing education as a force multiplier, Lu illustrates how academic credentials provided him with the "seat at the table" necessary to influence military medicine policy and advocate for the welfare of forward-deployed service members. A central theme of the discussion is MSG(R) Lu's "dot connector" philosophy. He explains that by pursuing a broad range of certifications and education, service members can bridge the gap between tactical execution and strategic organizational leadership. This multifaceted approach allowed him to transition effectively into civilian life, where he now works to solve a critical issue: the loss of military medical training recognition when veterans enter academia. He details his current mission to streamline the transfer of military experience into civilian college credits, ensuring that the rich knowledge, skills, and abilities of medics and corpsmen are not wasted on redundant coursework. The conversation also delves into the foundational values of humility and lifelong learning. MSG(R) Lu recounts how intentionally placing himself in "receive mode"—whether as a volunteer firefighter or a doctoral student—fostered the growth necessary to lead others. He encourages listeners to align their personal values with their professional work and challenges enlisted service members to maximize their military benefits to unlock their full potential. This episode serves as both an inspiration and a practical guide for any healthcare professional looking to translate military excellence into civilian success, reminding us all that for those willing to learn, the best is yet to come. Chapters (00:00-01:05) Introduction and Career Trajectory (01:05-04:30) Pursuing Academia While on Active Duty (04:30-08:45) The Strategic Value of Credentials (08:45-13:12) Leadership Through the Dot Connector Philosophy (13:12-20:51) Empowering the Enlisted Voice in Medicine (20:51-26:57) Revolutionizing Military-to-Civilian Credit Transfers (26:57-27:35) Conclusion and Closing Remarks Chapter Summaries (00:00-01:05) Introduction and Career Trajectory The episode opens with an introduction to the guest's twenty-year Army career, highlighting his transition from a conventional 68 Whiskey to an elite 18 Delta medic. This segment sets the stage for a discussion on how military experience serves as a foundation for higher academic pursuits and leadership roles. (01:05-04:30) Pursuing Academia While on Active Duty This section explores the logistical and cultural challenges of completing a doctorate while serving in Special Forces. The guest highlights the importance of demonstrating the return on investment of education to command leadership to gain support for professional and personal development. (04:30-08:45) The Strategic Value of Credentials The conversation shifts to the necessity of academic titles in achieving policy changes and gaining influence at decision-making tables. A powerful example is shared regarding how a doctoral title changed the receptiveness of leadership to advocacy for behavioral health solutions for forward-deployed troops. (08:45-13:12) Leadership Through the Dot Connector Philosophy The guest discusses his approach to leadership as a "dot connector," utilizing diverse certifications to bridge gaps between different healthcare domains. He emphasizes that humility and a willingness to be a "private" again in new fields are essential components of lifelong learning. (13:12-20:51) Empowering the Enlisted Voice in Medicine This chapter focuses on a direct pitch to enlisted medics, encouraging them to view education as a way to amplify their lived experiences. The discussion centers on the strategic need for enlisted personnel to engage in the military decision-making process at the highest levels of the joint force. (20:51-26:57) Revolutionizing Military-to-Civilian Credit Transfers The final segment addresses the systemic failure in translating military medical training into college credits. The guest outlines his mission to create a streamlined, innovative pipeline that prevents veterans from having to repeat redundant medical coursework in civilian institutions. (26:57-27:35) Conclusion and Closing Remarks The episode concludes with final thoughts on the value of the military medical community and how listeners can support the organization. Information is provided on where to find more details about the guest and the mission of the podcast. Take Home Messages The Seat at the Table: Higher education serves as the primary mechanism for enlisted service members to gain credibility and a voice at strategic decision-making tables. Without these academic credentials, the invaluable tactical perspective of the medic is often excluded from the policies that shape the future of military healthcare. Education as a Force Multiplier: Pursuing a degree while on active duty should not be seen as a distraction from the mission, but rather as a way to enhance it. When service members apply academic theory to real-world military challenges, such as behavioral health advocacy, they provide a tangible return on investment to their organization. The Humility of Lifelong Learning: True professional growth requires the humility to step into unfamiliar roles where one is a beginner rather than an expert. By intentionally seeking environments that require "receive mode," leaders can stay agile and continue to develop the skills necessary to lead the next generation effectively. Bridging the Translation Gap: There is a critical need to translate military medical training into the specific language used by civilian academic and accrediting bodies. Streamlining this process prevents the waste of veteran resources, such as the GI Bill, on redundant training that has already been mastered through service. Aligning Values with Professional Pursuit: Personal professional development is most effective when it is aligned with an individual's core values and a desire to serve others. Finding activities that "fill your cup," such as one-on-one coaching or peer mentorship, ensures long-term sustainability throughout a complex career transition.
