There's no getting around the surges and potential chaos of an emergency department. The good news is that these events are predictable, you know they're going to happen, just not when. So how do you prepare and then navigate the storm once you're in the thick of it?In today's episode, we start with a discussion with Thom Mayer, MD exploring strategies to steel yourself for the inevitable chaos, underscoring the importance of maintaining a positive, agentic, proactive mindset. Drawing parallels to General Theodore Roosevelt Jr.'s decisive leadership on D-Day, the discussion highlights the critical need for quick, confident decision-making. A key focus is on the concept of "energy packets," a methodical approach to managing the cognitive overload in the ED by strategically allocating mental resources to specific tasks. We also delve into understanding individual stress thresholds and how to manage stress without succumbing to a sense of helplessness. In the second half of the episode, Chris Hicks, MD gives his approach to managing high patient volumes, communication while managing critical patients, and how to address a direct challenge in the resus bay.

Vincent Santiago's research interests include eating behaviors, body image, and bariatric surgery. Vincent's doctoral dissertation explores the use of an intervention for food addiction (the concept that individuals can be addicted to foods, particularly highly processed foods). This intervention combines Adapted Motivational Interviewing, a person-centered counseling approach, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) skills for eating-related issues and will be tested in a randomized controlled trial. Vincent's Master's thesis explored psychosocial factors (i.e., adult attachment style, emotion regulation, and psychopathology) related to cigarette smoking following bariatric surgery. For his undergraduate thesis, he studied the influence of video messages on healthier eating among students who engaged in restrained and unrestrained eating. He previously worked in research positions at Toronto Western Hospital's Bariatric Surgery Program and the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health. Clinical Interests Vincent's clinical interests include the assessment and treatment of various mental health issues, including eating disorders, anxiety disorders (e.g., social anxiety disorder), and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Vincent is particularly interested in using approaches from CBT, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Vincent has completed practicum placements at 1) the Psychology Training Clinic within the Department of Family and Community Medicine at St. Michael's Hospital; 2) the Intensive Residential and Day Treatment Program for OCD at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre; and 3) the Day Hospital Treatment, Eating Disorder Program at Toronto General Hospital. Vincent is also involved as a study therapist in clinical trials providing CBT related to post-bariatric surgery issues, as well as social anxiety disorder, substance use, and HIV sexual risk behavior. Professional and Community Involvement Vincent is committed to fostering the growth of psychology and those interested in the field. He is involved in mentorship programs with undergraduates, graduate students, and early career psychologists as part of the Ryerson Psychology Graduate Students' Association (PGSA), the Canadian Psychological Association (CPA), and the American Psychological Association (APA). He is also serving a 2-year term as a Student Representative in the Psychologists in Hospitals and Health Centres section of the CPA. Vincent co-organized the inaugural “Diversifying Psychology Recruitment Event” at Ryerson in 2020. The goal of this event was to provide more information about applying to graduate school for students from traditionally underrepresented groups, particularly students identifying as Black, Indigenous, and a Person of Colour. Vincent also volunteers in LGBTQ+ organizations that offer peer support, workshops, and social activities in the community.   The content of our show is educational only.

I am excited about this episode because I have a special treat for you today! One of my best friends in the whole world is joining us on the podcast. She's actually visiting me this week and we're having the most amazing time together with a lot of outdoors activity. Dr. Rosanne Mills and I first met in med school in Calgary and then both did residency in Toronto. After that I went into emergency medicine while she pursued psychiatry but we have remained as close as ever. Rosanne and I have a conversation about the realities of anxiety and depression and how to help our mental health. We address the question of what anxiety and depression actually look like and how to tell the type that needs treatment apart from times that are really just part of being a human being.I want to say, first of all, that though Dr. Rose and I are both physicians, we are not giving out personal health advice in this episode. This is information shared for educational purposes only. If you feel you have any of the symptoms we talk about, please see your physician, visit an emergency department, or call your local Healthline. Rosanne defines depression according to the DSM, the Diagnostic Statistical Manual, and we talk about how a significant depressive episode can cause dysfunction in our lives in some way. We also discuss how anxiety is normal and healthy until it starts dragging at daily life and prevents us from visting people, making phone calls, and the like. Dr. Rose offers a lot of insight into how depression and anxiety both manifest, when they are emergency issues, and explains different kinds of medication available. She also discusses medication side effects and modalites outside of medication that can help mitigate depression. This episode is a clear and informative look at how depression and anxiety manifest and operate. It's full of information and insight that will hopefully answer some questions and, most importantly, remind us that most people with anxiety and depression do feel better when we get appropriate treatment.About Dr. Rosanne MillsDr Rosanne Mills is a Psychiatrist in Toronto, Ontario.

Burnout is a prominent issue for healthcare workers and a topic Dr. James Maskalyk is passionate about. This led to the creation of a wellness program at St. Michael's Hospital and later across 15 hospitals in the GTA through the University of Toronto. The program promotes facets such as peer support for providers, critical incident debriefing, and more. On the episode, Dr. Maskalyk also touches on small yet important steps that can be taken to boost overall mood in the emergency department, such as mindfulness practices, and snacks. Quotables: “…medicine is not something that just happens in the emergency room, but something that very much follows us home as practitioners and patients.” “It really is just about beginning the conversation that doctors are people too, and nurses are people too, and the people who are there who support us as porters, the people who cook the food, we are human beings working in an increasingly inhumane system – to be honest.” “There is an opportunity for us to speak to each other about what's happening inside of us that could be more clear, because vulnerability is not a skill that we learn in medical school, or I never did.” “You standing there, beside these people, doing the best you can, is one of the most beautiful acts ever completed by a human being.” “Life ultimately is a temporary situation. So, then the question becomes, what do you do with what you've been given… it sounds trite but the answer is just be kind, to yourself and other people.” “It's an honour to be here and to have the trust of my patients and my colleagues, who are in the ER this very moment helping people.” Mentioned in this Episode: St. Michael's Hospital, Unity Health University of Toronto Dr. Sara Gray Dr James Orbinski Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) Access More Interviews with Healthcare Leaders at HIROC.com/podcast Follow us on Twitter, and listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your favourite podcasts.

Guest: Dr. Sean B. Rourke, neuropsychologist at St. Michael's Hospital Smart vending machines have launched on Canada's East coast. They're the first of what will be 100 nationwide. But instead of dispensing chocolate or candy, these machines hold life-saving supplies like HIV tests, naloxone kits and unused needles. They're called Our Healthbox and they're designed to reach communities underserved by traditional health care. Today, we're joined by Dr. Sean Rourke, a clinical neuropsychologist and scientist with MAP Centre for Urban Health Solutions at St. Michael's Hospital, who is leading the initiative.

Everybody eats, but when is it concerning? How do we define “healthy eating behaviour”? What's the opposite of disordered eating? This episode with Dr. Sylvi Martin RN & ND opens up the conversation about the landscape of eating behaviour in general, exploring eating disorders, disordered eating behaviour, “normal” eating and introduces evidence-based intuitive eating and mindful eating.   Dr. Sylvi Martin, ND is offering an Eating Behaviours Workshop on February 10, 2023, inside the Confident Clinician. Make sure you are on our mailing list to be the first to know when registration opens at the end of January.    Dr. Sylvi Martin BScN RN ND (she/her) Sylvi is a naturopathic doctor, registered nurse psychotherapist, Certified Intuitive Eating Counsellor and Mindfulness Based Eating Awareness Training (MB-EAT) facilitator based in Toronto. Sylvi applies a weight-inclusive approach to helping individuals experiencing mental health related challenges and disordered eating behaviour.  Sylvi maintains dual practises in nursing and naturopathic medicine. After completing her Bachelor of Science in Nursing at Laurentian University in 2004, she practised acute care psychiatric nursing at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto where she also completed a nursing research fellowship. She went on to graduate from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in 2009 after which she began her private naturopathic practice in Toronto. In addition to her naturopathic practise, Sylvi maintained her nursing practise by working on a mental health team for an Ontario health regulator where she was also part of a mental health response team for individuals in crisis. She has also completed additional training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Eating Disorders. When she's not furthering her training or working on her latest workshop or course, she can be found perfecting her chocolate-savouring skills, feeding her “trust fund squirrels” at the cottage in between dips in the lake, or on the hunt for more scarves in some corner of the world with her partner Dave.   References American Psychiatric Association.

I welcomed my first guest Amanda Jetté Knox onto the show three years ago to discuss their book Love Lives Here. Today they join me to discuss the alarming rise in transphobic hate and why 2022 was the first year they feared for their life doing their job as an advocate for the 2SLGBTQI+ community. Lindsay Sealey, author of Made for More is back to discuss Gen Z women and girls and this week we take a look at the relentless pursuit of MORE. More money, more cars, more clothes but is that really making us happy? Of course we all know the answer to that so how then can we help our girls find the more that really matters, more love, more fulfillment, more peace. As always Anne Brodie is in with entertainment and this week we take a look at Shantaram on Apple TV+ starring Charlie Hunnam who takes us on an extreme adventure in Bombay, Plan A on TVOD which is based on the true story of a cell of Jewish underground resistance members, Welcome to Wrexham on FX Disney + starring Canada's favourite son, Ryan Reynolds, and Big Bad Budget Battle with the Pioneer Woman. Mushrooms are enjoying a moment in the sun as we learn more and more about their health benefits. As part of our ongoing partnership with New Roots Herbal we take a closer look today with Dr. Colleen Hartwick who breaks down their benefits on everything from brain health to immune support. Despite increased international attention the number of people falling victim to human trafficking around the world continues to grow and Canada is no exception. Alexandra Stevenson knows this all too well as a victim of sex trafficking. She joins me to share what we need to know to prevent this from happening to more young women and girls. Finally, homelessness is on the rise across Canda due to a variety of factors but the bottom line is that too many people will be cold, unsheltered, and hungry this winter. Our response needs to be swift. Dr. Karen Shin from St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto joins me to discuss.

In the launch of our third season, JP Hornick, President of OPSEU/SEFPO and Dr. Naheed Dosani, Palliative Care Physician and Health Justice Activist, discuss the current crisis facing public healthcare in Ontario and the alarming turn toward the privatization of our healthcare systems by those prioritizing profit over patients. In speaking to the ways in which the healthcare crisis is both the result and rationale for erosion and greater privatization, JP Hornick says: “...you've got a kind of perfect storm that COVID maximized a crisis that was already existing. Decreased funding, unanticipated service costs, then you throw in on top of that supply-chain issues, particularly around PPE, but also, tools and resources. And then you've got an ongoing problem with recruitment and retention of staff. These are the new realities that hospitals have to tackle at the same time, trying to care for patients. And they're not allowed to carry deficits. So in the absence of additional funding, it means that the choices that hospitals regularly resort to are service cuts in order to try and balance budgets.But all this comes back to a very simple thing. It is a failure to adequately fund healthcare, both before and during the pandemic. And then the deterioration of the public system that results is used as an excuse in itself for increased privatization.” According to Dosani: “...often conversations like this can get tucked away in the category of health policy. This is about much more. This is about our way of life. This is about our way of being. This is really an attack on the common good that is so core and foundational to what it means to be Canadian…Public healthcare is a national treasure that makes us unique on the world stage. That really allows us to say to each other, I care about you. And I care about you so much that I will pay into a collective pool with you to care for you. Even if I don't get sick, I care for you. And that doesn't just emanate in the healthcare world and the healthcare sphere that affects the way we treat each other. We care for each other. We communicate with each other…And that is worth saving. That is worth protecting.” About today's guest:  Prior to being elected president of OPSEU/SEFPO (Ontario Public Service Employees Union), JP Hornick was chief steward for more than a decade within the College Faculty Division, representing instructors at Ontario's 24 public colleges. She chaired the College Faculty bargaining teams in 2017 and 2021-22.  JP grew up in a family of public service workers – educators, correctional workers and many more. She is a labour educator and previously served as the coordinator of the School of Labour at George Brown College. She has served as chair, treasurer and director on several community boards and has been on the front lines of activism to advance issues of equity, women's rights, LGBTTIQQ2S rights, anti-racism and decolonization.   JP was elected OPSEU/SEFPO President in April 2022 on a platform that includes strengthening union democracy, building bargaining power, ensuring financial responsibility, fostering an inclusive union culture, and deepening connections to the labour movement and community.  As a palliative care physician and health justice activist, Dr. Naheed Dosani is dedicated to advancing equitable access to healthcare for people experiencing structural vulnerabilities like poverty and homelessness.

There is much political, professional, and cultural debate around the impact that cannabinoids, good or bad, have on health and wellbeing. This month's “RAPM Focus,” evaluates the relationship between cannabis use and sleep patterns among adult Americans. Editor-in-Chief Brian Sites, MD, interviews authors Calvin Diep, MD, and Karim Ladha, MD, on the paper “Recent cannabis use and nightly sleep duration in adults: a population analysis of the NHANES from 2005 to 2018,” first published in December 2021 (https://rapm.bmj.com/content/47/2/100). The study used observational data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) and examined whether recent use of cannabinoids impacted on incidence of too little sleep or too much sleep. Dr. Diap is a second-year resident in the Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine at the University of Toronto. He is also enrolled in the clinician investigator program and will be starting his graduate studies at the Institute of Health Policy Management at the University of Toronto. His research interests lie in using clinician epidemiological methods to study patient-centered outcomes in the perioperative period, such as pain and disability, as well as opioid and cannabinoid use patterns at population levels. Dr. Ladha is a clinician scientist and staff anesthesiologist at St. Michael's Hospital at the University of Toronto. He received his medical degree from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. He then completed his anesthesia training at the Massachusetts General Hospital and obtained a master's degree in clinical epidemiology from the Harvard School of Public Health. His research uses mixed methodologies to obtain a multi-faceted view of pain and recovery after surgery, including retrospective analyses of administrative databases and prospective observational studies in multi-center randomized controlled trials. *The purpose of this podcast is to educate and to inform.

With the stress of COVID, virtual schooling, WFH and everything else the past two years has thrown at us, it's easy to mistake pandemic related symptoms with a much more serious threat – cardiovascular disease.  Once we hit our 40's, our bodies produce less estrogen which means less protection for our hearts. It's a silent disease because high cholesterol doesn't give any symptoms. We know this because Jacquie found out the hard way by getting bloodwork for an HRT assessment. That's when we learned that our cholesterol rises with the onset of perimenopause. As we've said before, what you don't know can hurt you. It's important for us to understand our hearth health, the signs, and symptoms to beware of and how to maintain a stronger heart.   In this episode, Dr. Beth Abramson MD is Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Toronto joins us to talk about women and heart health. Dr. Abramson is the Paul Albrechtsen Professor in Cardiac Prevention and Women's Health in the Division of Cardiology at St. Michael's Hospital, University of Toronto.   Tune in!

Inadequate vitamin intake linked with insulin resistance University of Alabama, May 2 2022.    A greater risk of insulin resistance was revealed among women with acceptable calorie consumption whose folate and vitamin C intake were below the Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) values in a study reported  in Nutrition, Metabolism and Cardiovascular Diseases. Adequate dietary intakes of essential micronutrients are critical to prevent the development of insulin resistance and insulin resistance-related diseases. However, since excess calorie intake linked with obesity is also associated with those diseases, it is important to meet the Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) of those micronutrients without exceeding recommended daily calorie intakes. Among women whose calorie intake was categorized as acceptable and who met the Food and Nutrition Board's DRI of folate and vitamin C, the respective risks of insulin resistance were 59% and 66% lower than women who did not meet the DRIs. The study also showed that even with the consumption of over the recommended calorie intake, only 2% of women met the DRI of vitamin D and approximately only 30% met the DRIs of vitamins A and E, further emphasizing the fact that a significant proportion of women consume calorie-dense food rather than micronutrient-dense food.”   (NEXT)   Ingesting soy protein may ease severity of inflammatory bowel disease   Penn State University, April 26, 2022   A diet supplemented with soy protein may be an effective adjunct therapy for inflammatory bowel diseases, Penn State researchers reported after completing a study that included mice and cultured human colon cells. The findings are significant because inflammatory bowel diseases -- including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease -- are characterized by either continuous or periodic inflammation of the colon and represent a significant risk factor for colon cancer. The team found that soy-protein concentrate can exert antioxidant and cytoprotective effects in cultured human bowel cells and can moderate the severity of inflammation in mice that have an induced condition similar to ulcerative colitis. Researchers, substituted soy-protein concentrate into the diet of the mice and removed corresponding amounts of the other protein sources, equaling about 12 percent. They kept human equivalents in mind as they determined the amount. The dietary soy-protein concentrate at the 12-percent dose level ameliorated body-weight loss and swelling of the spleen in the mice with induced inflammatory bowel disease. Soy-protein concentrate mitigates markers of colonic inflammation and loss of gut barrier function in the mice with induced IBD.   (NEXT)   Study finds children with vegetarian diet have similar growth and nutrition compared to children who eat meat   St. Michael's Hospital (Toronto), May 2, 2022   A study of nearly 9,000 children found those who eat a vegetarian diet had similar measures of growth and nutrition compared to children who eat meat. The study, published in Pediatrics and led by researchers at St. Michael's Hospital of Unity Health Toronto, also found that children with a vegetarian diet had higher odds of underweight weight status, emphasizing the need for special care when planning the diets of vegetarian kids. The findings come as a shift to consuming a plant-based diet grows in Canada. In 2019, updates to Canada's Food Guide urged Canadians to embrace plant-based proteins, such as beans and tofu, instead of meat. Researchers found children who had a vegetarian diet had similar mean body mass index (BMI), height, iron, vitamin D, and cholesterol levels compared to those who consumed meat. The findings showed evidence that children with a vegetarian diet had almost two-fold higher odds of having underweight, which is defined as below the third percentile for BMI. There was no evidence of an association with overweight or obesity. Underweight is an indicator of undernutrition, and may be a sign that the quality of the child's diet is not meeting the child's nutritional needs to support normal growth. For children who eat a vegetarian diet, the researchers emphasized access to healthcare providers who can provide growth monitoring, education and guidance to support their growth and nutrition.   (NEXT)   Blackcurrant extract triggers same process as statin drugs   University of Connecticut , April 29, 2022   Polyphenol-rich blackcurrant extract may prevent metabolic dysfunctions induced by diets high in fat and cholesterol, according to research in mice.   The results, published in the British Journal of Nutrition, found the extract reduced the percentage of mice with diet-induced severe steatosis (fatty liver), hypercholesterolaemia and hyperglycaemia.  Total plasma cholesterol and glucose levels were significantly lower in the blackcurrant group compared to the control, yet plasma triglyceride (TAG) level were not significantly different.   The extract contained 25% anthocyanins and 40% polyphenols and the dose equated to a daily human consumption of about 540 mg of the extract and 135 mg anthocyanins.   The researchers said such an ingredient could help reduce disease risk since dyslipidaemia and hyperglycaemia were likely to contribute to metabolic diseases.   Videos:   .  Profound Blood Clots in Major Arteries: Dr. McCullough and Chris Gillespie ( 3 Clips on One page)   Over 17,000 Physicians and Scientists Agree: “There Is No Medical Emergency” – Dr. Robert Malone

We're told that food is medicine a lot in the holistic health space, which can be really stressful when your kid doesn't eat well.

Al'ai Alvarez, MD aka LA is a national leader and educator on Wellness and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. He is a clinical assistant professor of Emergency Medicine and the Director of Well-Being at Stanford Emergency Medicine. He co-leads the Human Potential Team and serves as the Fellowship Director of the Stanford EM Physician Wellness, and Co-Chair of the Stanford WellMD's Physician Wellness Forum. His work focuses on humanizing physician roles as individuals and teams through the harnessing of our individual human potential in the context of high-performance teams. This includes optimizing the interdependence between Process Improvement (Quality and Clinical Operations), Recruitment (Diversity), and Well-being (Inclusion). Currently, he is one of the 2021-2022 Faculty Fellows at the Stanford Byers Center for Biodesign.  Andrew Petrosoniak MD is a trauma team leader and emergency physician at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto, Canada. He's an assistant professor at the University of Toronto and he leads the translational simulation program at St. Michael's Hospital. His research focuses on the use of in situ simulation and design thinking to support human-centered care. He's also co-principal at Advanced Performance Healthcare Design, a firm that consults with hospitals, start ups and high stake industries using simulation to improve decision making and inform the design of systems, spaces and teams. White paper on simulation informed design. In 2004, Patrick MacLeamy drew a set of curves based on a pretty self-evident observation: an architectural project becomes more difficult to change the more developed it becomes. For this earth-shattering revelation MacLeamy named the curve after himself (although the title should probably go to Boyd Paulson who drew the curve much earlier [see Noel's comment to this post]). You have probably seen the graph before. It gets trotted out in every slide deck promoting BIM / IPD / or early-stage environmental analysis.  The key point is that architects expel their effort at a time when design changes are relatively costly. MacLeamy and his disciples advocate shifting design effort forward in the project, front loading it, in order to reduce the cost of design changes.

Dr. Sheldon Cheskes is a professor with the Division of Emergency Medicine, Department of Family and Community Medicine at the University of Toronto, a scientist at the Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute at St. Michael's Hospital and an affiliate scientist at Sunnybrook Research Institute. This week he joins the fellas to talk all about the world of AED drone deliveries. You heard me right. Drones are currently in the trial phases of being used to dispatch as additional emergency response vehicles where they can fly a working AED to a call in a matter of minutes. This is a fascinating episode about the future of technology and healthcare collide.

One in four women physicians report a diagnosis of infertility. One reason for this is physicians tend to delay attempts to become pregnant until “the time is right” for their career.  But, in the medical profession, it seems there is really no “good” time to have children. Parenthood, especially motherhood, is seen as an inconvenience during medical training and beyond. In this episode, Dr. Sophia Park speaks with hosts Dr. Mojola Omole and Dr. Blair Bigham about her personal struggle with infertility. And, Dr. Andrea Simpson, the lead author of a commentary in the CMAJ titled, “The inconvenience of motherhood during a medical career”  calls for systemic change in medicine to support parenthood.Dr. Sophia Park is a medical biochemist at Royal Columbian Hospital and a Clinical Associate Professor at the UBC Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine.Dr. Andrea Simpson is an obstetrician and minimally invasive gynaecologic surgeon at St. Michael's Hospital. She is also an assistant professor at the University of Toronto.She co-authored her commentary with Drs. Maria Cusimano and Nancy Baxter.
