In this episode of Bioethics in the Margins, we delve into the topic of capital punishment by nitrogen gas. Dr. Robert Glatter is Editor at Large for Medscape Emergency Medicine and Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine at Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell. Dr. Peter Papadakos is Professor of Anesthesiology, Surgery, Neurology and Neurosurgery at the University of Rochester, and a Professor of Internal Medicine at Mercer University School of Medicine. Drs. Papadakos and Glatter dissect the harsh realities of suffering and injustice surrounding the execution of Kenneth Smith in Alabama, the first person executed using nitrogen gas. They explore what nitrogen is and its physiological effects and reflect on the inhumane nature of nitrogen hypoxia. The conversation also touches upon the broader issues of botched executions, delayed executions as psychological torture, the absence of definitive DNA evidence in some death row cases. They highlight the point that both the American Medical Association and the American Society of Anesthesiologists as well as many nursing associations state that participating in executions is not the practice of medicine and is prohibited by their members. This means that executions are conducted by non-medical personnel. They also point out that delaying executions, sometimes for decades, falls under the definition of torture under the Geneva conventions. This conversation poses the question; if our society continues to condone these practices, are we civilized?The JAMA editorial mentioned during the podcast can be found here: Evidence Against Use of Nitrogen for the Death Penalty | Neurology | JAMA | JAMA Network

She started by pursuing a horticulture degree from Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College in Tifton, Georgia.

Host Gregg N. Sofer welcomes Husch Blackwell partner Jonathan Porter to the podcast to discuss the conclusion of one of the most closely watched jury trials in recent memory: the guilty verdict on all counts against Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder and former CEO of the bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX. Gregg and Jonathan provide a short introduction to the charges against SBF before diving into some of the more interesting elements of the trial and trial strategy, including the use of the advice of counsel defense and the always fraught decision to put a defendant in a criminal trial on the stand to testify.

He emphasizes the importance of recognizing and treating sleep disorders as independent issues.00:08:28 - Importance of Sleep Quality, Dr. Krakow highlights the significance of sleep quality over the number of hours slept. He explains that fragmented sleep with disrupted brainwave patterns can lead to feelings of unrefreshed sleep and daytime fatigue.00:12:18 - Sleep's Impact on Mental Health, The discussion delves into the various mechanisms by which sleep affects mental health. Dr. Krakow explains how sleep improves energy levels, cleanses the brain of toxic molecules, and its correlation with the glymphatic system, which may influence the risk of dementia.00:14:57 - Long-term Consequences of Untreated Sleep Disorders, Dr. Krakow emphasizes the wide-ranging consequences of untreated sleep disorders on both mental and physical health, including cardiovascular and neurological issues. He warns against prolonged reliance on medications or ineffective advice, urging individuals to seek proper treatment for their sleep disorders.00:16:26 - The Importance of Sleep Technology, The guest discusses the importance of having advanced technology in sleep centers to accurately diagnose sleep disorders. He shares a story about a single mom who was constantly tired and struggling at work. After being dismissed by other sleep centers, she found relief through a specific technology that measured her breathing in a unique way.00:19:14 - The Life-Changing Impact of Proper Treatment, The guest recounts the story of the single mom who experienced a miraculous improvement in her life after receiving proper treatment for her sleep disorder. Despite having a mild form of upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS), her symptoms disappeared and she regained her energy and ability to function normally. This case highlights the transformative power of sleep medicine.00:23:04 - Non-Medication Strategies for Improved Sleep, The guest suggests various non-medication strategies for individuals who heavily rely on sleeping pills.

Being informed and advocating for oneself is crucial in navigating the sleep medicine field.00:32:17 - The Impact of Nightmares and Insomnia in Adolescents Nightmares and insomnia are common problems in adolescents, especially during the teenage years. Nightmares can be a red flag for anxiety, depression, and trauma, while insomnia can have a significant impact on sleep quality. Therapists who specialize in treating nightmares and insomnia can help adolescents overcome these issues.00:34:09 - Nonpharmacological Treatments for Nightmares and Insomnia Imagery Rehearsal Therapy is a leading nonpharmacological treatment for chronic nightmares, but it is not widely known or practiced. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for insomnia is another specialized program that can help individuals improve their sleep quality. Both therapies focus on changing behaviors and patterns associated with sleep.00:35:16 - Changing Perspectives on Sleep Two important paradigms to consider when addressing insomnia are stopping clockwatching and understanding the difference between feeling sleepy and feeling tired. Clockwatching can worsen insomnia, while recognizing the feeling of sleepiness and only getting into bed when feeling that way can improve sleep quality.00:38:05 - Finding Therapists for Treating Insomnia and Nightmares Therapists who specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for insomnia can be found through sleep centers or online programs. However, finding therapists who practice Imagery Rehearsal Therapy may be more challenging. Military sleep centers often have mental health professionals trained in IRT due to the high prevalence of PTSD and nightmares among military personnel.00:48:02 - Gratitude for Sleep Expert, The host expresses gratitude for Dr. Krakow, an expert on sleep who has been working in the field for over 30 years.

Sleep does this amazing brainwashing technique in the middle of the night, so to speak, where it cleanses the brain of toxic molecules. - Barry KrakowTimestamped summary of this episode:00:00:02 - Introduction, Introduction to the podcast and guest, Dr. Barry Krakow, a sleep medicine specialist, and his expertise in treating sleep disorders related to mental health.00:03:11 - Connecting Sleep and Mental Health, Dr. Krakow discusses his groundbreaking research on the connection between sleep disorders, such as nightmares and insomnia, and mental health conditions like PTSD. He emphasizes the importance of recognizing and treating sleep disorders as independent issues.00:08:28 - Importance of Sleep Quality, Dr. Krakow highlights the significance of sleep quality over the number of hours slept. He explains that fragmented sleep with disrupted brainwave patterns can lead to feelings of unrefreshed sleep and daytime fatigue.00:12:18 - Sleep's Impact on Mental Health, The discussion delves into the various mechanisms by which sleep affects mental health. Dr. Krakow explains how sleep improves energy levels, cleanses the brain of toxic molecules, and its correlation with the glymphatic system, which may influence the risk of dementia.00:14:57 - Long-term Consequences of Untreated Sleep Disorders, Dr. Krakow emphasizes the wide-ranging consequences of untreated sleep disorders on both mental and physical health, including cardiovascular and neurological issues. He warns against prolonged reliance on medications or ineffective advice, urging individuals to seek proper treatment for their sleep disorders.00:16:26 - The Importance of Sleep Technology, The guest discusses the importance of having advanced technology in sleep centers to accurately diagnose sleep disorders. He shares a story about a single mom who was constantly tired and struggling at work. After being dismissed by other sleep centers, she found relief through a specific technology that measured her breathing in a unique way.00:19:14 - The Life-Changing Impact of Proper Treatment, The guest recounts the story of the single mom who experienced a miraculous improvement in her life after receiving proper treatment for her sleep disorder. Despite having a mild form of upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS), her symptoms disappeared and she regained her energy and ability to function normally. This case highlights the transformative power of sleep medicine.00:23:04 - Non-Medication Strategies for Improved Sleep, The guest suggests various non-medication strategies for individuals who heavily rely on sleeping pills. He emphasizes the importance of addressing sleep quality and exploring potential breathing issues. Simple interventions like nasal saline drops or nasal strips can significantly improve sleep. Dental devices and surgeries may also be options for those with specific conditions.00:25:45 - Finding the Right Sleep Center, The guest acknowledges the challenges in finding a sleep center that provides comprehensive care. He advises individuals to ask specific questions when contacting a sleep center, such as whether they treat upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS) and whether they use Bi level devices instead of CPAP. Being informed and advocating for oneself is crucial in navigating the sleep medicine field.00:32:17 - The Impact of Nightmares and Insomnia in Adolescents Nightmares and insomnia are common problems in adolescents, especially during the teenage years. Nightmares can be a red flag for anxiety, depression, and trauma, while insomnia can have a significant impact on sleep quality. Therapists who specialize in treating nightmares and insomnia can help adolescents overcome these issues.00:34:09 - Nonpharmacological Treatments for Nightmares and Insomnia Imagery Rehearsal Therapy is a leading nonpharmacological treatment for chronic nightmares, but it is not widely known or practiced. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for insomnia is another specialized program that can help individuals improve their sleep quality. Both therapies focus on changing behaviors and patterns associated with sleep.00:35:16 - Changing Perspectives on Sleep Two important paradigms to consider when addressing insomnia are stopping clockwatching and understanding the difference between feeling sleepy and feeling tired. Clockwatching can worsen insomnia, while recognizing the feeling of sleepiness and only getting into bed when feeling that way can improve sleep quality.00:38:05 - Finding Therapists for Treating Insomnia and Nightmares Therapists who specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for insomnia can be found through sleep centers or online programs. However, finding therapists who practice Imagery Rehearsal Therapy may be more challenging. Military sleep centers often have mental health professionals trained in IRT due to the high prevalence of PTSD and nightmares among military personnel.00:48:02 - Gratitude for Sleep Expert, The host expresses gratitude for Dr. Krakow, an expert on sleep who has been working in the field for over 30 years. She encourages listeners to check out his resources and share them with others who may be struggling with sleep.00:48:24 - Making a Difference in Lives, The host emphasizes the goal of the podcast, which is to make a difference in the lives of listeners. She encourages them to share the episode with anyone who could benefit from learning about sleep and mentions the exclusive content available in the Difference Maker community.00:48:40 - Unique Research and Profession, The host expresses gratitude for Dr. Krakow's unique research and profession in the field of sleep. She highlights the valuable information she has already learned from him and hopes that listeners will also find his insights helpful for improving their sleep and the sleep of their families.00:49:20 - Join the Difference Maker Community, The host invites listeners to join the Difference Maker community for extra content with Dr. Krakow and other experts. She emphasizes the importance of sleep and encourages everyone to spread the news about how to sleep better by sharing the episode with others.00:49:35 - Farewell and Gratitude, The host concludes the episode by thanking listeners and bidding farewell. She encourages everyone to have a great day and to continue making a difference in the world.When you treat somebody's sleep disorder, not only do they sleep better, but their mental health improves. Patients have been walking into doctors' offices for decades saying, 'Doctor, if you can fix my sleep problem, my depression is going to get better.' - Barry KrakowEmphasize the importance of addressing sleep qualityMaintaining quality sleep is essential for both physical and mental health.

Today, we are joined by Dr. Kain Weaver to discuss the power of words, especially when recovering from a medical condition. Dr. Weaver experienced a stroke at the age of 28 while in his first year of residency. Defying the odds, he survived the stroke and learned lessons he hopes to implement in the medical world. Because of his hospital experience, the power of words spoken to patients became evident. After being told he would never be a doctor or even get back to the life he was living, he pushed through. Although his life looks different, Kain is now in his fourth year of residency. Tune in to hear his miraculous story of healing and his outlook on how words can impact patients' healing process.    IN THIS EPISODE   [1:30] Did Dr. Weaver knew he wanted to be a doctor before his stroke, and how did the stroke impact his decision?  [2:28] What did he learn most about care while being a patient?  [6:11] What would he say as a doctor had it been his patient. [7:18] What situation brought Dr. Kain Weaver's focus on words of kindness? [11:55] What are the barriers he wants to see removed?  [14:08] What conversations does Dr. Weaver have with patients about finances?  [15:45] What work is he doing now during his fourth year residency?  [17:00]What area of medicine will Dr. Weaver focus on when he completes his residency?  [17:44] What are the changes he hopes to see?   KEY TAKEAWAYS    Tearing down someone, whether a patient or anyone in your life, through words such as “you can't do that” or “that will never happen” is incredibly disheartening and negatively impacts the patients' experience. Use uplifting statements to allow the patient  to see possibility and have hope.  Doctors can benefit from being on the patient side of the room. It could create a significant change in the way that patients are treated. The patient is more likely to be seen as an actual person versus as just another medical issue to fix.  There are many financial options available to patients. Ask questions to see what's possible. Some more affordable medications can work just as well as the more expensive options and save patients a lot of financial hardship.    RESOURCES:   Beyond the Balance Sheet Website   The WholeHearted MD   BIO:   Dr. Kain Weaver graduated from Mercer University School of Medicine, Savannah, GA. He is currently in his 4th year of residency training specializing in Psychiatry in Charlotte, NC. He will graduate residency in 2023.   Dr. Kain Weaver has experience in stroke and brain Injury advocacy work.

In this episode, Blake Windsor, MD a pediatrician with a subspecialty in training for pediatric pain medicine, and a board certified headache specialist discusses post concussive headaches and unique challenges it poses. Headache is the most common post traumatic or post concussive symptom. Even when a child is given the appropriate care, in many cases we find that they still experience post-concussive pain long after we expect them to recover.  He points that often there is much confusion and debate around what people refer to as Post-Concussive Syndrome, when in reality there seem to be somewhat arbitrary lines surrounding the term. Dr. Windsor also believes that pediatric pain medicine should be as common as other specialties, because it makes the work of other specialties much more streamline and accessible to patients.    Listen in on this episode as Dr. Windsor walks us through the uniqueness of post-concussive headaches, various stages, risk factors, identification and treatment!   Takeaways In This Episode   How Dr. Windsor's experience with sickle cell patients in an inner city hospital led to his pursuit of a career in pediatric pain medicine What makes post-concussive headaches so unique Factors that result in a headache manifesting after traumatic brain injury Other risk factors to keep in mind while testing and which groups are more vulnerable to them Signs specific to post-concussive syndrome to look out for When is the right time for a pain specialist to be involved in post-concussive care?

South Georgia Medical Center recently released its FY2020 Annual Report that celebrates the hospital's past while looking ahead to a bright future. In this podcast, we talk to SGMC CEO Ronald "Ronnie" Dean, as explains the hospital's strategic priorities outlined in the annual report: Unsurpassed Patient Experience, Unequaled Access to Care, Unimpeachable Credentials, Unmatched Efficiencies.Unsurpassed Patient Experience: "We exist for one reason and one reason only, to take care of patients," Dean says. "When you think about what we do, a lot of people zero in our capabilities to heal, and we provide medical care. But truthfully, we are doing more than that; we are enriching and improving the lives of those we serve."Compassion is essential to SGMC's mission, and Dean says, "Our intent is to make sure everyone feels respected. Treat everyone with dignity and respect regardless of who you are, where you come from, and what your situation is. We believe anyone who walks in our doors, that we need to wrap our arms around them and show them we care." For a majority of patients, the Emergency Room is a primary entry point to the hospital. "Nothing is constant in the ER; it's always changing," Dean says. "The types of patients being treated, the mix of the patients, some really sick, some not as sick as other. But all are there because they feel like they need to be there. That team [ER] is trained to handle all conditions, but sometimes it's not overwhelmed but stressed." SGMC's involvement with the Partnership for Health is an example of improving healthcare access to residents. "They provide that primary care the patient needs to prevent them from having to come to the ER," Dean says. "Then it's to help them finish the healing process when they leave the ER. We are very proud of the Partnership for Health and what they do." Unequaled Access to Care: The term "access" is a buzzword in healthcare today—now more than ever, patients have options."We simply want everyone to be able to access what they need locally," Dean says. "We would rather not have anyone have to travel for something that can be delivered here responsibly. There are some specialties that we will never provide in our community because there are not enough resources to make it happen or demand."  SGMC has recently doubled the number of physicians within their network and tripled the number of access points. Another access to care will come with the residency program.  Mercer University School of Medicine is a partner with SGMC's residency program, which will start next year with selecting the first class of medical residents.Unimpeachable Credentials:  Each year, hospital and healthcare facilities undergo numerous—very rigorous—national accreditations. SGMC continues to receive approval at the highest standards from the top accrediting agencies.Unmatched Efficiencies: During COVID-- hospitals had to "rethink" delivery of care, not just in response to the pandemic but moving forward. "We had to go through problem-solving on a lot of equations, just like a lot of organizations did," Dean says. "We learned a lot about ourselves, and I am very proud of the team, and we didn't miss a beat."Join us next time as we continue to promote South Georgia as a great place to live, work, play, and visit.Thanks to our sponsor Smalltown Broadcasting and WDDQ, home of the Scott James Matheson Show, where you can listen on Talk 92.1 http://talk921.com/ or through the TuneIn app https://tunein.com/radio/Talk-921 

“Everybody deserves access to care, and it's up to us to find a way to provide that,” says Dr. Jean Sumner. She and her team at Mercer University School of Medicine in Macon, Georgia take their mission of serving rural and underserved populations very seriously. “Almost,” says Dr. Sumner, “as a sacred trust to serve our state.” That could entail bringing diabetes and hypertension training to church on Sunday, taking phone calls at night, advocating for primary care patients in emergency rooms, or partnering with rural-county pharmacists and physical therapists. She believes being responsive to the community is key to gaining trust and providing good care. In this episode of Raise the Line, learn about Dr. Sumner's inspiring career dedicated to bringing attention to the issues of rural health, and how the pandemic has drawn attention to the lack of primary care in rural communities. Discover why observation over time is such an important and overlooked tool, how having a broad range of skills can save lives, and how telehealth can best be used as a tool to expand access to those in need.

In this episode of Veggie Doctor Radio, I have an engaging conversation with Dr. Laura about raising plant-based kids and the wisdom she has gained over the years. About featured guest: Dr. Laura Taylor Pridemore is a board certified pediatrician of over 18 years.  Even in medical school, she had an interest in nutrition as a result of her family’s history of type 2 diabetes, coronary artery disease, heart attacks and strokes. After hearing a local lecture on The China Study, Dr. Pridemore became inspired to learn more about whole foods plant-based nutrition.  She received a Certificate in Plant-Based Nutrition from Cornell University and has attended all 7 of the International Plant-Based Nutrition Healthcare Conferences.  In 2016, she gave the first pediatric presentation at the International Plant-Based Nutrition Healthcare conference in Anaheim, CA, and in 2017 shared the presentation with the local Charlotte Pediatric Society.  She has voraciously collected and read as many books on this subject of whole food plant-based nutrition as possible.   Recently, Dr. Pridemore’s passion has expanded to lifestyle medicine which incorporates not only a mostly whole foods plant-based way of eating, but also regular physical movement, stress management, quality sleep and supportive relationships.  Her lifestyle motto for her patients is “Eat, Move, Rest, Connect” and her nutrition motto is “Eat from the garden, Drink from the well.”   Dr Pridemore recommends lifestyle medicine with her pediatric patients and families for both well visits and sick visits.  Establishing healthy eating and sleep habits early are key for a lifetime of health.   A Georgia native, Dr. Pridemore first received her law degree from the Walter F. George School of Law in 1990 where she was the Editor in Chief of the Mercer Law Review.   After practicing law for several years, she changed career paths to follow in her father’s footsteps.  She graduated from Mercer University School of Medicine in 1998 where she was elected to Alpha Omega Alpha national honor society.  She completed her pediatric residency training from Carolinas Medical Center, Charlotte, NC where she served as Chief Resident her last year.   She has obtained Health Coach certification through the Institute of Integrative Nutrition.  She is currently enrolled in the meditation certification through the Chopra Center.  She is married to Scott and has two daughters, Sarah (16) and Katie (12).   DR.

Special Episode - Coronavirus - Medical and Commercial Implications In this episode arranged in response to the rapid spread of Coronavirus into a global and U.S. health emergency we talk with Medical Epidemiologist Dr. Mary-Margaret Fill of the Tennessee Department of Health's Communicable and Environmental Diseases and Emergency Preparedness (CEDEP) Division about the medial implications of the Coronavirus outbreak. John Scannapieco, Chief of the Global Business Team at Nashville's Baker Donelson law firm and a long-time specialist on China commercial relations will talk about the impact on trade and investment in China and with U.S. businesses. Listen to this important special Podcast episode to be up to date on the Coronavirus implications on health and commerce. References: John Scannapieco and his colleagues at Baker Donelson authored an article with must know insights, "Novel Coronavirus Outbreak in China - What You Need to Know Right Now." Find it here: Baker Donelson Paper https://www.bakerdonelson.com/novel-coronavirus-outbreak-in-china-what-you-need-to-know-right-now An excerpt: A new coronavirus is causing an outbreak of respiratory illness that began in the city of Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. The outbreak began in early December 2019 and continues to spread in China and beyond. As of January 28, 2020, Chinese health officials have confirmed 4,565 cases and 106 deaths related to the virus. In addition, there are more than 70 confirmed cases globally, including five confirmed cases in the United States. In an effort to slow the spread of the virus, Chinese authorities are imposing quarantines and restricting travel throughout the country. Hong Kong has closed some of its borders with mainland China and has stopped issuing travel permits to mainland Chinese tourists. Mongolia and Russia (Far East border) have closed their respective borders with China. Mainland Chinese authorities are trying to keep citizens at home by extending the Chinese New Year holiday through February 3, 2020, with some areas (Shanghai, Suzhou, Guangdong Province and Zhejiang Province) extending the holiday through February 9, 2020. While Chinese health officials claim that the virus can spread by a person before symptoms appear by what is known as asymptomatic transmission, the Center for Disease Control in the United States (CDC) and state health officials believe it is unlikely that the virus can be transmitted until an individual appears symptomatic.

Statutory administrative law judges (ALJ) located within each agency adjudicate administrative law cases brought by agency enforcement personnel, located in the same building as the judges. These judges do not enjoy tenure during good behavior or an irreducible salary. Their rulings are often appealable only to the administrative agency itself and only later to an Article III Court, and then only on a very deferential standard of judicial review. Civil jury trial is not currently available in administrative law judicial proceedings and the rules of evidence and the burden of proof arguably operate in a manner that favors the agency. This panel will assess the constitutionality of current law and ask whether Congress ought to change the law and, if so, how. Should ALJs have life tenure?

Guest: Paul Bradley, MD Host: Larry Kaskel, MD Many of us have experienced the frustration of seeing an obese patient who wants to make progress with their weight, but just can't achieve their desired result for any number of reasons. There is a great deal of evidence to suggest that diet and exercise, in the long run, will do more than any combination of medicines; the rub, of course, is how we get them on that magical ‘eat right and exercise' regimen. Dr. Paul Bradley, associate professor of medicine at Mercer University School of Medicine in Georgia, explains why some patients may find that a physician-centered team approach to weight loss could be their answer. Dr. Larry Kaskel hosts. Brought to you by:
