    "When people with PTSD [post-traumatic stress disorder] get quite avoidant—and that can be expressed in so many different ways—the implications can be really profound. I think an important invitation to oncologists and oncology nurses and primary care providers who care for people battling cancer is let's explore what's underneath these avoidant behaviors. Is it a very practical thing? Or is it that underneath this avoidant behavior is really profound fear?" James C. Jackson, PsyD, research professor at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, TN, told Lenise Taylor, MN, RN, AOCNS®, TCTCN™, oncology clinical specialist at ONS, during a conversation about addressing medical trauma in oncology.

They may not avoid the annual evaluation that is so hugely consequential—they might not avoid that. But they may well avoid a routine visit for a checkup to their oncologist. They very well may avoid a visit with a psychologist who is wanting them to talk about hard things. They may avoid visiting a friend in the hospital because it reminds them of really upsetting things. So, this issue of adherence and compliance is a really big problem." TS 3:19 "Screening tools for things like PTSD can be very useful. They're quite practical, and they're appropriate to use. I really like something called the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Checklist. ... Using it is going to be very straightforward. You're going to want to map it onto a 30-day window, and you're going to employ it with patients. It's a 20-item self-report. It assesses 20 DSM-5 symptoms of PTSD. It's not diagnostic, but if people score in this range of 30, 31, 33, we typically are going to believe that that is very suggestive of significant PTSD." TS 9:17 "One of the things we should be doing all the time is modeling and attempting to normalize this idea of being open about mental health difficulties. When I say modeling, this is a complicated issue. ... I'm very open talking about my own battles with mental health. And in some ways, that invites my patients to do the same. I don't recommend necessarily that a nurse says, 'Oh, by the way, I have PTSD. I'm going to tell you about mine. I want you to tell me about yours.' That's a boundary issue. But I think it does behoove us as clinicians to create a culture as much as we're able, where we can talk about mental health difficulties in a matter-of-fact way, acknowledging that mental health is health. These tools, to me, go a long way in that direction." TS 13:41 "The survivorship process is ongoing. I think a nurse can assist a patient in so many ways longitudinally over time. ... One of those ways is to continue checking on mental health outcomes in patients. Continuing to check on mental health outcomes, continuing to explore them, and continuing to invite patients to talk about things that other people might not be asking about. It's easy for family members to assume, 'Hey, you know, you're cancer free now. You look fine, so you must be fine.' It's very possible that the patients we're talking about are not fine. They're far from fine. For that oncology nurse at a follow-up clinic or in an oncology setting to talk about this, continuing to affirm that it would be okay for patients to struggle, continuing to put this issue on a front burner—I think that's really important." TS 21:17 "I'm aware of nurse-led support groups where nurses can talk very freely about their own challenges, in a safe space. ... Working to build cultures in the context of the intensive care unit, let's say, where we have a lot of patients with cancer that prioritize well-being nurse driven programs. ...  The bottom line is if there is a warning light that is blinking, nurses need to attend to that. And in attending to it, they're going to be more present for their patient. They're going to be better able to support their patient. They're going to be better able to support each other. And I think often, in the culture of nursing and psychology, too, people just put their head down, their shoulder down, and they just plow through in ways that are really counter to their mental health." TS 29:56 "The truth is medical trauma can be well-managed. It's not simple. It's not always intuitive. There are all sorts of caveats with regard to this, but the truth is people with medical trauma can live really rich and meaningful lives. ... So, the default setting, I think, should be not one of pessimism. It should be that people with medical trauma can and do get better. If you are a patient with medical trauma and you are in my purview, until proven differently, I'm going to assume that you can get better too." TS 36:28

    Why don't more doctors talk about death? Dr. Lydia Dugdale has been asking this question since she was a medical student. She is the Silberberg Professor of Medicine and directs the Center for Clinical Medical Ethics, and two books on how we die, including "The Lost Art of Dying." "Most medical professionals today are very unpracticed at talking to patients about their mortality," she says. Not only unpracticed, but even themselves afraid. In this bonus clip from Episode 232 with Macie Bridge, Dugdale traces the path from that early perplexity on the wards to the ars moriendi, the medieval art of dying, grounded in the idea that dying is part of living, so if you want to die well you have to live well. Lydia comments on the emergence of palliative care and the way it let physicians hand conversations about death to specialists; the doctor who inherited the priest's old place at the threshold between life and death; the death anxiety clinicians carry without examining; virtue as preparation for dying, and community as the other half of living well; the unrepresented patients of New York City who die alone; and a grumpy old man, hospitalized for 20 years, who wept when she read aloud what she had written about him. Episode Highlights “Most medical professionals today are very unpracticed at talking to patients about their mortality.” “we are really the intermediaries between life and death, I'm not saying we're priests, but that used to be the role of the priest. And so it is now the role of the physician. “If you want to die well, you have to live well.” We have to be all in or we end up like all of these patients here in New York City who have no one that I can reach out to as they're dying. “He started weeping and he said, someone finally saw me. Someone finally saw me. I've been in this hospital for 20 years and I didn't think anyone ever saw me.” About Lydia Dugdale Lydia Dugdale is a physician and medical ethicist who has spent fifteen years asking why medicine finds death so hard to talk about. She is the Silberberg Professor of Medicine at Columbia, directs the Columbia Center for Clinical Medical Ethics, and co-directs clinical ethics at NewYork-Presbyterian Milstein Hospital, where she still sees patients. She edited "Dying in the Twenty-First Century" and wrote "The Lost Art of Dying," a modern ars moriendi. She trained at the University of Chicago and Yale-New Haven Hospital, holds a master's in ethics from Yale Divinity School, and in 2025 founded the nonprofit Heal the Nation.

    "We have an untapped army of 200,000 PAs that really could step up and drive some change in the healthcare system if we weren't restricted,” says Dr. Jennifer Kolb, capturing her motivation for pushing to update practice regulations for physician associates that date back more than 50 years.  As Chief Medical Officer and Senior Vice President of Clinical Affairs at the American Academy of Physician Associates, Dr. Kolb has been in the middle of the fight at the state and federal level to grant PAs more independence from physicians, full billing rights, and the increased ability to practice across state lines, among other changes.  In this pertinent conversation with Raise the Line host Lindsey Smith, Dr. Kolb explains how these updates could help close huge gaps in access to healthcare, better manage the fight against chronic diseases and improve patient outcomes.   Dr. Kolb also addresses:  Why the name shift from "assistant" to "associate" took her years to fully appreciate; How a 10-year gap in life expectancy across Chicago zip codes shapes her view of health equity; Why PA's shouldn't wait for permission to start making change in their communities.

    Frontline pressures have reached a boiling point. In this swapcast episode, nurses Erica and Amie tackle the wave of nursing strikes across Massachusetts (MNA) and British Columbia (BCNU), exploring what these recent labor actions reveal about the true state of healthcare. Together, they dive into the harsh realities nurses are standing up against—from unsafe staffing ratios and lack of workplace respect to burnout and corporate greed. Erica and Amie also address the elephant in the room: "scab nurses." They break down the ethical, emotional, and financial strain traveling replacement nurses place on striking staff, how hospital systems use high-paid temporary labor to undercut union power, and the complex reality of nursing ethics vs. corporate greed. More importantly, they share actionable insights on how nurses can build genuine solidarity, mobilize for patient safety, and use their collective voice to drive real structural change. Whether you're on the floor or on the picket line, this is a conversation about standing tall for the profession.

    Today's episode of the America's Work Force Union Podcast brings together two conversations that cut to the heart of what it means to be a worker in America right now — one focused on who keeps people safe and one on who makes the decisions that shape their lives. First, National Nurses United President Jamie Brown and NNU Assistant Director of Health and Safety Jane Thomason discuss a workplace safety crisis that most Americans never see. Healthcare workers account for approximately 73% of all nonfatal workplace violence injuries in the United States, nurses are five times more likely to be assaulted at work than people in any other industry and the actual rate is dramatically higher because most incidents never get reported. Brown and Thomason make the case for the Nurse and Health Care Worker Protection Act, which would mandate safe staffing ratios and workplace violence prevention programs at hospitals receiving Medicare and Medicaid funding, and address chemical and environmental hazards nurses face daily, including antineoplastic drug exposure, post-COVID disinfectants and wildfire smoke entering hospital facilities through filtration systems not designed to stop it. Then, IAM Union retired International President Tom Buffenbarger delivers his monthly independent labor voice segment covering three significant stories. Boeing's new CEO, Kelly Ortberg, is meeting directly with machinists, reinstating union advisory channels and committing to keep manufacturing in Puget Sound, representing what Buffenbarger calls the most meaningful cultural shift at the company in years. Tariff uncertainty, rather than tariff levels, is causing profitable companies to lay off manufacturing workers because the planning horizon has disappeared. And the One Big Beautiful Bill is structured to remove an estimated 11 to 12 million people from Medicaid through administrative burden and shift SNAP costs to states in ways that will reduce benefits for children, veterans and working families.

    Nursing leadership has never carried more weight, or more complexity. In this episode of Elevate Care, host Steven Endsley sits down with Alan Vierling, Chief Nurse Executive at San Juan Regional Medical Center, to talk about what it actually takes to build a sustainable pipeline of nurse leaders in an environment defined by workforce shortages, generational shifts, and rising expectations for both quality and financial performance. Alan brings a career's worth of perspective to the conversation, from his start as an operating room technician to leadership roles across Ohio, Texas, Michigan, and Alaska before landing at San Juan Regional. He shares candid insights on identifying leadership potential, the role of emotional intelligence in a text-driven generation, and why San Juan Regional has built structured programs like book clubs, skip-level meetings, and simulation-based coaching to develop leaders earlier in their careers. The discussion also covers practical retention strategies, including sabbaticals for veteran managers, dedicated overnight support to reduce burnout, and New Mexico's unique childcare and tuition benefits designed to remove barriers for nursing staff. Alan closes with a grounded take on artificial intelligence in healthcare: a tool for sharper decision-making, not a replacement for the human connection that defines nursing. Key Takeaways Nurse leadership development requires both structured programs (book clubs, coaching) and informal access (skip-level meetings) to build trust and leadership readiness at every level. Emotional intelligence, not technical skill alone, is often the clearest early indicator of leadership potential among nursing staff. Retention strategies like sabbaticals, overnight management support, and reduced administrative burden directly address burnout among frontline nurse managers. State-level benefits, such as free childcare and tuition support in New Mexico, are reshaping how health systems compete for nursing talent. Artificial intelligence can strengthen data fluency and speed up clinical decision-making, but it cannot substitute for authentic, face-to-face patient and staff connection. Reframing setbacks as learning opportunities, rather than crises, builds long-term resilience across nursing leadership teams.

    Lindsay Clancy Defense Opens: "A Good Nurse Who Begged for Help"

    The defense had its say this week as opening statements continued in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, Massachusetts, is accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, and has pleaded not guilty. Attorney Kevin Reddington is arguing an insanity defense, centered on claims of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Reddington's opening leaned hard into character and context: a good nurse, a great mother, a woman who recognized something was wrong and reached out for help with her postpartum struggles before the tragedy happened. That's a very different story than "premeditated," and it's the one the defense needs jurors to hold onto through weeks of clinical and forensic testimony. The gap between those two narratives — deliberate killer versus desperate, undertreated patient — is what this entire trial is actually about.After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted to take her own life by jumping from a second-story window, an act that left her paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out of the home running errands when it happened and has since relocated to Manhattan, where he's spoken publicly about her mental health. The trial, presided over by Judge William F. Sullivan, is expected to stretch across several weeks.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

    A small-town newspaper headline blamed a school nurse for delaying classes. The real story is much bigger. In this investigative episode of Nurse Converse, nurse journalist Jana Price sits down with Moriah Benjamin, a Pennsylvania LPN who was fired after refusing to work as a school nurse without proper supervision — a violation of her scope of practice under state law. Moriah shares what happened the night she called off, the 95-page school board hearing where she represented herself, the charges that changed between letters, and the closing statement that's now rallying nurses everywhere: "I'd rather lose my job today than my license tomorrow."

    What if the greatest obstacle you ever faced became the very thing that inspired thousands of others? In this inspiring episode of the Tick Boot Camp Podcast, Matt Sabatello sits down with Talan Yorn, an 18-year-old American Ninja Warrior competitor, Lyme disease advocate, public speaker, author, and founder of Lyme Ninja. Born with congenital Lyme disease, Talan has never known life without chronic illness. His journey has included years of debilitating symptoms, neurological complications, mold illness, multiple tick-borne co-infections, extensive treatment, and even spending years bedridden. Today, Talan is proving that healing is possible. Through determination, perseverance, and a relentless refusal to give up, he transformed his life from being too sick to attend school into competing on national television as an American Ninja Warrior while using his platform to inspire hope throughout the Lyme community. This episode is a powerful reminder that recovery is rarely linear—but with the right support, persistence, and belief, extraordinary things are possible. Meet Talan Yorn Talan Yorn is an American Ninja Warrior competitor, Lyme disease advocate, author, public speaker, stunt performer, ninja coach, and founder of Lyme Ninja. Diagnosed with congenital Lyme disease at just seven years old after years of unexplained illness, Talan has dedicated his life to raising awareness for Lyme disease while encouraging others facing chronic illness to never lose hope. Learn more at Lyme Ninja. Read his inspiring memoir, Overcome: A Lyme Patient's Journey to American Ninja Warrior. In This Episode Matt and Talan discuss: Growing up with congenital Lyme disease Receiving a childhood Lyme, Babesia, and Bartonella diagnosis after years of unanswered questions Living with PANS, neurological symptoms, and immune dysfunction The impact of mold illness on Lyme recovery IVIG, functional medicine, antibiotics, and long-term treatment Going from bedridden to competing on American Ninja Warrior Becoming "Lyme Ninja" Advocating for Lyme disease awareness nationwide Finding purpose through adversity Growing Up with Congenital Lyme Disease Because Talan contracted Lyme disease from his mother before birth, he never knew what it felt like to be healthy. Throughout his childhood he struggled with fatigue, joint pain, fevers, headaches, insomnia, vomiting, and difficulty walking while doctors repeatedly dismissed his symptoms as "growing pains." Everything changed after his mother was diagnosed by Lyme-literate physician Dr. Steven Harris, leading to Talan's own diagnosis at age seven. Finally having answers allowed his family to begin the long journey toward recovery. Talan reflects on what it was like growing up believing his symptoms were normal simply because he had never experienced life without Lyme disease. Watching other children run, play, and participate in sports while constantly battling pain and exhaustion shaped much of his childhood and fueled his determination to one day overcome the disease. Navigating Complex Lyme Disease Beyond physical symptoms, Talan discusses the profound neurological effects Lyme disease had on his life. Along with Lyme disease and multiple co-infections, he developed PANS (Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome), OCD, anxiety, insomnia, emotional dysregulation, and episodes of overwhelming rage that were later understood to be driven by neuroinflammation. His story offers an important reminder that Lyme disease can affect far more than the joints or muscles. In children especially, behavioral and psychiatric symptoms may be signs of underlying infection rather than isolated mental health conditions. To learn more about pediatric Lyme disease and PANS/PANDAS, listen to Dr. Somer DelSignore. Treatment, Remission, and Mold Illness Over the course of more than a decade, Talan pursued a comprehensive treatment approach that included antibiotics, herbal medicine, functional medicine, IVIG, immune support, nutritional therapies, mold detoxification, and more recently peptide therapy. After years of treatment, he experienced approximately six months of remission and finally enjoyed the active childhood he had always dreamed about. He played competitive baseball, built friendships, and discovered what life felt like without constant symptoms. Unfortunately, that progress came to a sudden halt after repeated exposure to mold-contaminated homes. The mold triggered a severe relapse, leaving Talan bedridden for nearly three years and forcing him to stop attending school. During this difficult period, IVIG became an important part of his recovery after doctors discovered significant immune dysfunction and extremely low white blood cell counts. Combined with removing mold exposure and continuing treatment, Talan slowly began rebuilding his health once again. For more discussions about mold illness and chronic Lyme disease, explore Tick Boot Camp's interview with Dr. Jill Carnahan. From Bedridden to American Ninja Warrior As Talan slowly regained his health, he returned to a dream he had carried since childhood—competing on American Ninja Warrior. Watching the show as a young boy inspired him to believe that ordinary people could overcome extraordinary obstacles. Years later, after spending nearly three years bedridden, he finally began training. Progress was slow. Every workout required careful pacing, and many training sessions were followed by days of recovery. Still, every small improvement represented another step away from illness and toward the life he wanted. After three years of dedicated training and competing in Ninja Warrior competitions around the country, Talan earned a spot on Season 17 of American Ninja Warrior, advancing to the semifinals. More importantly, his appearance introduced millions of viewers to the realities of Lyme disease and showed patients around the world that recovery is possible. Becoming Lyme Ninja As Talan's athletic career grew, so did his passion for advocacy. He created Lyme Ninja to combine his love for Ninja Warrior with his mission of bringing hope to the Lyme community. Through social media, public speaking, coaching, and interviews, he encourages patients to keep fighting, even when recovery feels impossible. Learn more at Lyme Ninja. Read Talan's memoir, Overcome: A Lyme Patient's Journey to American Ninja Warrior, where he shares his remarkable journey in greater depth. Expanding His Advocacy Competing on American Ninja Warrior gave Talan a larger platform, but his mission extends far beyond the obstacle course. Today, he partners with several leading Lyme disease organizations dedicated to advancing research, expanding patient access to care, and increasing public awareness. Talan has worked with the Center for Lyme Action (CLA), advocating before Congress for increased federal funding for Lyme disease research and public health initiatives. Learn more about the Center for Lyme Action: Episode 378: Center for Lyme Action – An Interview with Bonnie Crater Episode 196: The Bionic Woman – An Interview with Meghan Bradshaw Talan is also a grateful recipient of a treatment grant from the LymeLight Foundation, which helped him continue his recovery and athletic journey. Today, he gives back as a LymeLight advocate, encouraging other young patients and families facing similar challenges. Learn more about LymeLight: Episode 324: LymeLight Foundation – An Interview with Phyllis Bedford Western Medicine Fails a Nurse's Family – An Interview with Ashley Marba More recently, Talan has partnered with Project Lyme, which sponsors his advocacy efforts and athletic competitions, and collaborates with Global Lyme Alliance to educate the public and inspire others through speaking engagements, media appearances, and community outreach. Final Thoughts Talan's story is one of extraordinary resilience. Born with congenital Lyme disease, he endured years of debilitating illness, neurological complications, mold exposure, immune dysfunction, and countless setbacks before gradually reclaiming his life. Today, he continues to manage his health while competing as an American Ninja Warrior, coaching young athletes, advocating for Lyme disease awareness, and inspiring patients around the world. His journey reminds us that healing is rarely linear. There will be setbacks, detours, and difficult days. But with perseverance, the right support, and hope, remarkable progress is possible. As Talan says throughout his advocacy work: "Never give up. Never back down. Never stop fighting."
