In this sobering episode of Politely Rude, Abby is joined by Noemi Padilla, a registered nurse with over 30 years of experience — including four years working inside a high-volume abortion clinic in Tampa, Florida.Noemi shares her firsthand testimony of how she entered the abortion industry believing she was helping women, only to witness systemic neglect, coercion, and abuse behind closed doors. She recounts the lack of medical standards, the profit-driven culture, and the ways women were treated when no one was watching — realities she says are not isolated incidents, but widespread and protected.This conversation explores how the abortion industry recruits, silences, and shields itself from accountability, even when women are harmed. Noemi also reflects on the moment that shattered her justifications, the guilt of complicity, and why she ultimately chose to walk away and speak out.This episode is difficult, necessary, and deeply revealing — a testimony that has become a call for truth, accountability, and genuine care for women.FOLLOW ABBY ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Instagram- Facebook- Twitter

“The world is a very volatile place, with currently 110 conflicts globally, and yet healthcare staff in the hospitals, even here in London, are not prepared to be the only clinician who can help in a crisis or hostile setting,” says Dr. David Gough, CEO of the David Nott Foundation, which equips providers with the skills and confidence needed to function in war and other extraordinary situations. A former British Army doctor injured in Afghanistan, Gough brings lived experience as well as a background in tech to his current role at the Foundation, which itself is anchored in decades of field work amassed by its namesake, a renowned war surgeon. As Dr. Gough points out to host Lindsey Smith, the cause could be helped by augmenting medical school curricula, but in the meantime, the Foundation is filling the knowledge gap by using prosthetics, virtual reality simulations and cadavers to train a broad swath of health workers including surgeons, anesthetists, and obstetricians. Tune in to this important Raise the Line conversation as Dr. Gough reflects on the strengths and weaknesses of NGOs in doing this work, his plans to expand the Foundation's footprint in the US, and the gratifying feedback he's received from trainees now operating on the frontlines in Ukraine and elsewhere. Mentioned in this episode:David Nott Foundation If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

    This episode celebrates the 125th anniversary of the U.S. Army Nurse Corps by profiling four newly commissioned officers completing their Basic Officer Leader Course (BOLC). The conversation highlights the diverse backgrounds and motivations of these future leaders, ranging from a former Master Sergeant with 22 years of enlisted service to first-generation college graduates and officers. By sharing their personal journeys, the guests illustrate the profound commitment required to balance the dual roles of a soldier and a healthcare professional.    The officers discuss the core values that define their service, emphasizing respect, compassion, and the need to maintain professional balance. They detail the rigorous training and mindset shift required to move from bedside nursing to military leadership, where readiness and adaptability are paramount. The interviews reveal that the Army Nurse Corps provides unique opportunities far beyond traditional civilian nursing, including roles in command, specialty practice, and global broadening assignments.     A central theme throughout the episode is the "limitless" nature of a career in military medicine. Whether transitioning from a combat medic background or starting fresh through ROTC scholarships, these officers are driven by a desire to impact the lives of service members and their families worldwide. Their stories serve as an inspiring testament to the enduring legacy of the Nurse Corps and its critical role in medical readiness.    The final takeaway is one of optimism and professional pride. As these officers prepare for their first duty stations, they demonstrate a readiness to face the challenges of military medicine with enthusiasm and dedication. This episode provides a comprehensive look at the professional development, personal sacrifice, and high-level leadership that characterize the next generation of "WarDocs" in the Army Nurse Corps.   Chapters (00:00-01:34) Celebrating 125 Years of the Army Nurse Corps (01:34-04:30) From Master Sergeant to Nurse Practitioner- CPT Michael Morris (04:41-07:05) The Importance of Balance in Military Nursing- 2LT Julian Tagupa (07:09-09:43) First-Generation Success and Limitless Opportunities- 2LT Dana Williams (09:48-12:53) Leadership, Adaptability, and Readiness- 2LT Audrey Holder   Chapter Summaries (00:00-01:34) Celebrating 125 Years of the Army Nurse Corps: This introductory segment honors the historic 125th anniversary of the Corps and introduces the podcast's mission to spotlight future leaders.

Take Home Messages The Dual Identity of the Soldier-Nurse: Serving in the Army Nurse Corps requires mastering a unique dual identity where one must be both a tactical military leader and a compassionate healthcare provider. This balance is essential for maintaining readiness and providing high-quality care across diverse environments, from state-of-the-art hospitals to austere settings. Diverse Pathways to Professional Growth: The military offers robust career progression models that allow individuals to advance from enlisted roles, such as combat medics, to commissioned officer roles, such as Nurse Practitioners. These pathways demonstrate the Army's commitment to internal development and provide a platform for long-term professional fulfillment and leadership. Commitment to Medical Readiness and Adaptability: A core requirement for military medical officers is the ability to adapt to rapidly changing assignments and maintain constant readiness for deployment. This flexibility ensures that the healthcare team is always prepared to support the needs of the unit and the nation, regardless of the location or timeframe. Foundational Values of Respect and Compassion: The success of the Army Nurse Corps is built on core values such as respect for patients and peers, as well as a deep spirit of empathy. These values shape the military healthcare culture and are vital for building trust with service members and their families during critical moments of care. Global Impact and Limitless Career Opportunities: Unlike civilian nursing, a career in the Army Nurse Corps provides expansive opportunities in command, broadening assignments, and international service. This "limitless" potential allows officers to impact the broader Department of Defense mission while honing specialized clinical and leadership skills.   Episode Keywords Army Nurse Corps, military medicine podcast, US Army nursing, Basic Officer Leader Course, BOLC, nurse officer training, military healthcare careers, combat medic to nurse, nursing leadership, medical readiness, ROTC nursing scholarship, military nursing stories, first generation officer, Army healthcare team, nursing opportunities, military career paths, nurse practitioner stories, Army nursing history, medical officer training, healthcare leadership, veteran nurses, WarDocs, healthcare professional development, Army medical readiness.

She shares her personal story as the daughter and former nurse who saw workforce gaps firsthand, then explains why Dragon Copilot for nurses was built to relieve documentation overload and capture the “invisible” work nurses do at the bedside. Mary breaks down the leap from copilots to agentic services, where digital colleagues take on predictable, nonclinical tasks and surface patterns clinicians would miss, as in Stanford's AI-enabled tumor boards. Finally, she paints a future of hybrid human–digital teams and ambient, background technology that restores time, presence, and dignity to care.  Tune in and learn how AI can truly serve caregivers!

Welcome back to the Legal Nurse Podcast! In this insightful episode, Pat Iyer sits down with Dr. Kenny Stein, a seasoned emergency department physician and expert witness, to unravel the complexities and high-pressure realities of emergency medicine as they intersect with legal liability. With over 27 years of clinical experience and two decades serving as an expert witness, Dr. Kenny Stein brings a wealth of knowledge about how patient care in the emergency department can become the focal point of litigation. During their conversation, Pat Iyer and Dr. Kenny Stein discuss the nuts and bolts of what makes a medical malpractice case viable, examining the four essential elements every plaintiff's attorney must prove: duty, breach of standard of care, damages, and causation. They go behind the scenes of the emergency department, discussing how communication breakdowns, especially during patient handoffs, can trigger errors and create fertile ground for lawsuits. You'll hear powerful anecdotes pulled straight from Dr. Stein's experience, including unusual medical scenarios and cautionary tales where missed results and documentation pitfalls spelled trouble. This episode also explores evolving trends in emergency medicine, from the impact of electronic health records and templated notes to the emergence of AI in radiology. What happens when patients bounce back to the ER after discharge? Who is responsible for critical follow-up and test results once a patient leaves? And how does the language of documentation shift under the microscope of litigation? Tune in to get actionable insights for legal nurse consultants, attorneys, and anyone fascinated by the intersection of clinical care and the law. What You'll Learn in This Episode is Unpacking Medical Negligence: What Every Legal Nurse Should Know About ER Cases Here are 5 discussion questions answered by Pat Iyer and Kenny Stein in the podcast: What are the four main elements a plaintiff attorney must prove to make a medical negligence case viable, and why is each element important? How do the concepts of "standard of care" and "gold standard" differ in a legal context, according to Kenny Stein? Discuss how the process of handoff in the emergency department can lead to critical gaps in communication. What are some ways to mitigate these risks? Why can delayed test results after a patient has left the emergency department result in liability issues, and what systems are in place to prevent these situations? What are “bounce backs” in the emergency department, and how should clinicians approach a patient who returns soon after being discharged?

David Nurse, high-performance coach to NBA All-Stars and Olympic gold medalists, discovered that elite performers don't hope for flow—they engineer it. The secret isn't motivation or talent. It's neuroscience. This isn't vague "find your flow" advice. This is the brain mapping research revealing that flow state occurs at a precise frequency—10 Hz in the Alpha zone—and the specific protocols to train your nervous system to access it on demand. David breaks down why legendary athletes like Kobe Bryant could enter "the zone" during championships, the paradoxical tension required for effortless focus, and the deep practice methodology that builds neural pathways for consistent peak performance. Discover: • The 10 Hz revelation—why flow happens at a measurable brainwave frequency (and how to train your brain to reach it) • Why the 10,000-hour rule is incomplete—the "deep practice" feedback loop that builds myelin and creates mastery • The "bumper bowling" principle—how removing fear of failure unlocks creative genius • Alex Honnold's "Free Solo" mindset—why elite performers visualize disasters, not just success • The TAP trigger for daily flow—Trust, Acceptance, and Presence as the gateway to effortless performance • The Flow Code formula—combining visualization, body scanning, and bilateral tapping to down-regulate your nervous system • Flow beyond athletics—how to access the zone for creative work, presentations, and high-stakes moments Here's what separates amateurs from world-class: amateurs wait for inspiration. Masters train their nervous systems to produce flow on command. If you've ever experienced a moment where everything clicked and wondered why you can't recreate it—this episode decodes the exact neural pathway to get back there.

Tis a new year my friends and honestly, it's the same shit. In this episode, I get super vulnerable you guys. I even go a little Tony Robbins on ya...I will say I'm super proud of myself for what I did in 2025 when it came to my health and wellness. I went IN trying to get my physical health and mental health back on track. Like GLP-1s, I did Ketamine, back to working out consistently, bible study, being present with my babies, changing up career paths, getting grief coach and educator certified, finding that balance with motherhood and grief, and just trying to get ME back...Well it was tough but I made it and I am proud but no one talks about that "Dig Out"...Where you have to consistently dig yourself out of a dark place all the time. It's honorable and shitty but we have to do it. I dive into this phenomena in hopes to hype you up and share that it's hard for me too.This is real life, I'm always honest with y'all and I always will be.Hope this helps mama

In this powerful episode of Cryptid Warfare, I sit down with the Lovely & Amazing Nurse Nicole—an incredible nurse who took a stand during one of the most controversial times in modern medical history. Nicole shares her firsthand experiences / testimony working in healthcare during COVID, why she chose to push back against vaccine mandates, and how that decision impacted her career and life. We dive deep into the importance of medical freedom, informed consent, and knowing your legal rights as a patient and as a healthcare worker.

Welcome to another episode of the Legal Nurse Podcast with Pat Iyer, where today we dive headfirst into one of the most challenging aspects of the legal nurse consulting profession—dealing with difficult clients. Have you ever picked up the phone only to be met with immediate pushback from a potential attorney client about your fees or contract terms? You're not alone. In this episode, Pat Iyer unpacks the common types of challenging clients—dictators, negotiators, and tire kickers—and explores the subtle ways these interactions can erode your confidence and business if not handled with care. Through practical stories, such as Cassandra's negotiation misstep, Pat Iyer illustrates how easily the need to please can lead consultants into patterns of compromise that ultimately undermine their worth. She reveals the warning signs of toxic clients, the real costs—financial and emotional—of accommodating unreasonable demands, and most importantly, the mindset shift required to protect your business. Listeners will gain actionable steps for handling conflict, establishing firm boundaries, and knowing when it's time to walk away from an unhealthy professional relationship. With clear strategies for professional communication, documentation, and system improvements, Pat Iyer empowers legal nurse consultants to transition from a place of fear and guilt to one of confidence and control. If you're ready to cultivate a client base that respects your expertise and safeguards the health of your consulting practice, this episode delivers the tools and insights you need to transform client challenges into opportunities for lasting success. What you'll learn in this episode is how legal nurse consultants can handle challenging clients and protect their business Here are five intriguing questions that this podcast episode answers: How can legal nurse consultants spot red flags and identify toxic attorney clients early on? What steps should consultants take to effectively handle conflict with attorneys who challenge their fees or value? Why do legal nurse consultants sometimes give in to unreasonable client demands, and how can they change this pattern? What boundaries and systems can consultants implement to prevent problems with challenging clients? How does letting go of toxic clients open opportunities for better, more respectful professional relationships?

Police say a home health nurse is caught on surveillance video taping a nonverbal, quadriplegic teen’s mouth shut, covering her face, and shaking her during an overnight shift, which investigators described as torture. The abuse is discovered when the girl’s mother reviewed the footage, leading to the nurse’s arrest and a broader review to determine whether other patients may have been harmed.
