Podcasts about obstetrical

Not too long ago, pregnant celebrities were boasting about their at-home ultrasound machines. Then, vanity ultrasound places became a thing, offering scans of your baby as keepsakes. Now, there are sonography centres offering packages for detailed and advanced antenatal ultrasound scans. Are these as harmless as they sound, or are there risks associated with undergoing ultrasound scans without the supervision and care of medical specialists? We find out from Dr Muniswaran Ganeshan, President, Obstetrical & Gynaecological Society of MalaysiaImage credit: Shutterstock

Cutting Edge Obstetrical Care:  Dr. Kaitlyn Cunningham 

Pregnancy, childbirth, and the post-partum period can be full of serious health issues for the mother. For many women, the time of pregnancy and beyond marks their first major interaction with the medical world, and unsuspected problems can emerge. The process of birth can reveal other physical vulnerabilities. This means that OB/GYN nurses need to be highly aware of obstetrical bleeding. Courtney Moorhouse and Sasha Benner are highly experienced OB/GYN nurses, expert witnesses, and LNCs who share with us what to look for during this time. All bleeding during pregnancy should be checked out medically, as we cannot judge whether it's harmless or not. The most dangerous period is post-partum. Bleeding at any stage of the post-partum period can indicate the retention of accreta, often placental tissue. If this issue isn't addressed, infection and uterine scarring can result. This condition requires very close attention. Courtney and Sasha provide a detailed guide on symptoms to look for and treatment to address for the range of pregnancy, labor, delivery, and post-partum phases of motherhood. In addition, they describe what makes a pregnancy low-, medium-, or high-risk. This essential podcast is invaluable to anyone who will have a childbirth-related case. Learn More About Critical Obstetrical Bleeding - Cortney Moorhouse and Sasha Benner When can bleeding occur in pregnancy? When does it cause the most trouble? When does a postpartum hemorrhage usually occur? What does the nurse need to ask the postpartum patient who's bleeding? What are some other postpartum bleeding issues?

Obstetrical vacuum and forceps are incredible tools, when used correctly, to assist vaginal delivery. Appropriately selected and used, they can be pivotal in reducing the number of unnecessary cesareans and potentially decreasing certain fetal and maternal complications. However, there are several pearls of wisdom to remember when using them. In this episode, we will focus on a rare – but potentially fatal – complication of vacuum use: subgaleal hemorrhage. Although subgaleal hemorrhage can occur following normal birth processes, and even cesarean section, vacuum use is the strongest independent factor for its occurrence. In this, we will review these pearls of wisdom and the importance of detecting neonatal subgaleal hemorrhage quickly.

In 2024, the Ministry of Health will provide Tdap (Tetanus, Diphtheria and Acellular Pertussis) vaccination to all pregnant mothers at all government primary health clinics. The vaccination is aimed at protecting newborn babies against the three highly infectious and serious diseases. Prof Dr Nazimah Idris, President of the Obstetrical & Gynaecological Society of Malaysia, joins the show to explain why it's important for pregnant women to protect their infants with this vaccination, and to address any concerns about the safety of the vaccine.Image Credit: Shutterstock

This week we delve into the world of fetal cardiology when review a recent report from Nationwide Children's Hospital on the utility of fetal echocardiography in the setting of a negative obstetrical ultrasound and Down syndrome. Down syndrome is associated with congenital heart disease but can the obstetrical ultrasound effectively rule out 'critical' newborn heart disease, obviating the need for a fetal echo, particularly if a postnatal transthoracic scan is planned? Associate Professor of Pediatrics, Dr. Clifford Cua shares his thoughts on this provocative question and work. doi: 10.1007/s00246-023-03183-0.Epub 2023 Jun 23.

Obstetrical injuries, or those that occur during labor and delivery are more common than patients may realize. Six to seven percent of women undergoing vaginal deliveries will have damage to the anal sphincter muscles, or obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASIS). Holly Richter, M.D., and Clark Powell, M.D. discuss the complex care required for these injuries and describe their research-backed OASIS care bundle that offers a comprehensive approach bridging obstetrics and gynecology. Learn more about the importance of talking about and addressing OASIS, preferably at an institution that actively assesses quality of care.

Perineal trauma after vaginal birth is common, with approximately 9 of 10 women being affected. Second-degree perineal tears are twice as likely to occur in primiparous births, with a incidence of 40%! Obstetrical lacerations of all degrees can lead to significant physical and even psychological morbidity, and have been identified as an independent risk factor for sexual dysfunction- which could last up to 18 months after delivery. Can perineal massage help reduce the rate of obstetrical trauma at time of vaginal birth? In this episode, we will summarize a new publication from the AJOG which was released on Aug 10, 2023 (first released as an ePub at the end of 2022) and compare the results covered in that publication with a separate systematic review and meta-analysis published in Feb 2023 in a separate journal. Does antepartum perineal massage help? What about intrapartum perineal massage? The answer depends on who you ask/read? Listen in, and find out why.

Obstetrical forceps have played a significant role in the history of childbirth assistance, but their use has declined in recent decades. One reason for this decline is the complexity and skill required to effectively and safely use forceps. Mastering the technique of forceps delivery requires extensive training and experience. The risk of complications increases when forceps are not applied correctly. As a result, the medical community has shifted towards alternative methods, such as vacuum extraction and cesarean sections, which are considered safer and more accessible for most healthcare providers. While forceps still have their place in specific situations, their limited use is due to the challenges associated with mastering their application For centuries, obstetrical forceps were hailed as an essential tool in aiding childbirth. Developed in the 16th century, these spoon-shaped instruments provided a means to safely extract a baby when the mother encountered complications during labor. Skilled practitioners utilized their expertise to maneuver the forceps with precision, ensuring the safe delivery of the infant. Several factors have contributed to the diminishing use of obstetrical forceps in contemporary childbirth. First and foremost, advances in medical technology have led to the development of alternative methods that provide safer and more controlled delivery options. Vacuum extraction and cesarean sections have become more prevalent, reducing the need for forceps-assisted deliveries. Obstetrical forceps, once a cornerstone of childbirth assistance, have gradually become a rarity in modern delivery rooms. Advances in medical technology, changing philosophies surrounding childbirth, and the emergence of alternative methods have contributed to their decline. While the art of using obstetrical forceps may be fading into history, it is a testament to the remarkable progress made in ensuring safer and more personalized birthing experiences. As we embrace these advancements, we honor the past and look forward to a future where every birth is a cherished and protected journey.   Our practice website can be found at: Maternal Resources: https://www.maternalresources.org/ Remember to subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.  Please consider leaving us a review.  Send us an email with your feedback at info@maternalresources.org Our Social Channels are as follows Twitter: https://twitter.com/integrativeob YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/maternalresources IG: https://www.instagram.com/integrativeobgyn/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IntegrativeOB  

Modern obstetrics depends on information gathered by way of ultrasound imaging (also called sonography). Most women will have 2-3 ultrasounds at specific points in their pregnancies as part of normal care. Sheri Jenkins, MD, and Niki Marsh, a sonographer, join Dr. Huh to discuss the ultrasound process and how the scans are used to provide individualized care throughout a pregnancy. Learn more about the rigorous national ultrasound accreditation held by UAB Maternal-Fetal Medicine.

Is pain during sex common, especially for women? In a society where sexual health is still a taboo topic, questions like these aren't always asked and answered, even though they could be a sign of a more serious health condition. Consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist Dr Hoo Mei Lin joins us to shed more light on this and break some taboos along the way.

Put on your Columbo jackets! When a patient tells the story of what happened in their labor and delivery experience, they often leave clues as to what truly happened from a medical perspective. Every clinician understands that patients are not necessarily coming from a medical background when they recount their own experiences with healthcare. The pertinent medical information can be colored by the patient's own perceptions of what was happening we and what they were informed of at the time.  A good physician will be able to piece together the puzzle and find the medical facts in the story to crack the case of what really happened in any labor and delivery room. In this creative and interesting episode, Dr. Abdelhak walks us through how he puts on his Sherlock Holmes' cap and can make accurate deductions from fragments of information in a patients story and medical records.  True Birth presents : Forensic Obstetrics   Our practice can be found at: https://www.maternalresources.org/ Remember to subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.  Please consider leaving us a review on iTunes Our Social Channels are as follows Twitter: https://twitter.com/integrativeob YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/maternalresources IG: https://www.instagram.com/integrativeobgyn/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IntegrativeOB

The widely-held idea known as the “obstetrical dilemma” is a hypothesis that explains why babies are so helpless, and why childbirth is so difficult for humans compared to other animals.  The obstetrical dilemma suggests that babies are born early so their big brains can fit through the mother’s pelvis, which can’t get any wider due to our method of bipedal locomotion. This problem, the idea says, is solved by an evolutionary tradeoff that increases risks to pregnant mothers who must struggle to birth bigger and bigger-brained babies through narrow birth canals.   On this episode, Leakey Foundation grantees Dr. Holly Dunsworth and Dr. Anna Warrener describe their search for the evidence behind the obstetrical dilemma and they discuss the importance of the stories we tell about our bodies.

Your care provider.  When you think of the person who will be attending your birth, what adjectives come to mind?  Do you feel at peace, comforted and cared for, or do you feel bullied, manipulated and belittled?  Hannah has experienced both ends of the spectrum, and I’m so happy to have her on today’s episode to share with you just how difficult, and then how beautiful birth can be.    Happy Homebirth Academy has an affiliate program for care providers.  To enter yourself in a monthly drawing for a Happy Homebirth T Shirt (or Amazon gift card), tell your care provider about it!  Take a screenshot of the text or email sending them to www.myhappyhomebirth.com/affiliate , and send it to katelyn@myhappyhomebirth.com with the subject line: Midwife Message   Hannah thought her hospital birth would be totally covered, as she was actually on two insurance plans.  As it turned out, she was not, and her hospital birth was more expensive than her later homebirth. One big red flag Hannah experienced with her OB, that she now wishes would have made her turn and run, was that when she gave the OB her birth plan, the response was “Oh, you’ll get the epidural.  Don’t be a hero.” Hannah urges mothers— if you’re experiencing obstetrical bullying, FIND ANOTHER PROVIDER! She actually experienced her first labor contractions while camping at 40 weeks.  The labor was long—beyond 48 hours, and she finally received pitocin, an epidural, and “purple pushed” for 2 hours. When she became pregnant with her second child, she still felt somewhat traumatized by the first experience.  Even though she knew she wanted a different experience, she wondered, “Can I do it?” She chose a midwife, and the difference she notes is that she felt completely secure and completely safe at home She felt her care provider was perfectly aligned with her. During her second pregnancy, she and her husband communicated more effectively about what she would want during labor.  This paid off, and he was able to support her perfectly. Hannah also hired a doula, which she recommends to everyone. She loved the book “Childbirth Without Fear,” and one of the biggest takeaways she found was this:  In Genesis, we’ve translated the discussion of the fall as Adam toiling the land and Eve experiencing great pain with childbirth.  However, the same Hebrew word is used in both: Toil.  She discusses the idea that labor is an experience of toil, not necessarily an experience of pain.Once her baby arrived, Hannah experienced “the birth pause” where all felt right in the world.  She was overwhelmed with thankfulness and connection, where she recalls feeling completely out of it after her first hospital birth. Her biggest takeaway from birth is that when you have the right care provider, you feel in charge, not managed.   Episode Roundup: 1.If your care provider is bullying you, FIRE THEM AND RUN.  Remember, they work for you.  Remember, you are your own and your child’s advocate 2. I want to bring back this discussion of pain vs. toil.  I love this concept, and as I’ve said many times… I just don’t consider childbirth painful. I know this isn’t the case for everyone, and I love to hear all of the ways that others experience it.  But toil… great work?  Certainly.  Remember that so much of our experience is often unknowingly wrapped up in our own expectations.  If we’re expecting pain, well, pain we shall likely have.  Coming into childbirth with an open mind and an arsenal of tools to provide comfort gives such a great chance at truly appreciating, if not downright enjoying, the experience.

Have you ever heard the term “obstetrical violence” and wondered what it meant? Or maybe you envisioned this blatant act of disrespect or an assault of sorts. These are both examples of obstetrical violence, but is another side to it, too. A sneaky side. Today’s episode is going to share a few instances of medical manipulation in the birth room that were silent and coy and draped in not-so-graceful wordsmithing from providers. I am sitting down with Tranquility by HeHe team member and doula, Caitlin LeBeau, to chat about the things we have witnessed in labor and delivery rooms across the nation. Some cases are blatantly  obvious and some cases are as covert as 007 himself. Note to listener: we do not give traumatic recounts of these instances. You need not be worried about hearing content that may cause trauma. Nonetheless, this episode is focused on obstetrical violence so listener discretion advised.   To learn your rights as a birthing person and understand how to protect yourself during your birth experience, visit www.thebirthlounge.com

Hey everyone! Welcome back to the Crazy Beeutiful Life. I am so excited to introduce a new series to #CBL, Bee's Estrogen Empire! CBLxBEE will focus on education and awareness about several different women's health topics. This series is part of a project I am doing for a women's health course at University of Toronto, so please be mindful that these episodes will involve more research and be a wee bit more serious than my typical episodes. Please keep in mind, CBLxBEE is NOT a diagnostic tool, so if you feel that you may have some of the conditions discussed, please consult your family doctor or gynecologist. Below you will find this episode's references, thank you so much for joining me! REFERENCES: 1. Achour, R., Koch, M., Zgueb, Y., Ouali, U., & Rim, B. H. (2019).

I know we are told that the biggest decision as a woman is who we choose, if we do, to spend the rest of our lives with. And that's very true when you think of life goals, financial goal, career goals, etc. but next to that, if you choose to have a family, the biggest decision is who will take care of you before pregnancy, during pregnancy, during labor and delivery and then postpartum. Oh my goodness. I didn't realize how big of a deal this was until I was deep into my training. Yall, I have seen the good, the great, the amazing, the bad, the ugly, and the WTF. 99% of my colleagues are amazing women and men that have devoted their life (Yes their LIFE) to women and the life of their unborn. 99% of us take you into our hearts and treat you like family. Obstetrical providers that aren't the same but for different reasons. It could be training, or bias, race, cultural, upbringing, or whatever. It is your duty as a Momma to make sure you are putting the life of yourself and your child in the best trained person you have in your area. You want a physician or midwife that views your life and the life of your child as a priority. On this episode, I'm going to give tips on how to find the perfect and safest Obstetrical team and birthing facility for you.   Find Dr. San and the Mature Momma Tribe at : www.instagram.com/drsanobgyn www.facebook.com/drsanobgyn   And don't forget to join the mailing list:  https://view.flodesk.com/pages/5e0a1f31efd02b0026c7ab64

Obstetrical forceps have a strange history: considered by historians to have been created by William Chamberlain, a French surgeon, the tool was kept a close family “secret” for well over a century! Eventually, the device and concept was sold by a destitute Chamberlain family member. William Smellie would then take this device to the masses. In this podcast, we provide a brief historical perspective on obstetrical forceps.

Contraception for the High-Risk Obstetrical Patient: A Call to Action

Transcript for this episode is found under the pic   Ron is a co-host of PodcastDX, he was injured as a child when he was struck by an automobile.  He survived the critical injuries but a permanent deficit of his brachial plexus nerve bundle remained.  Although he does not have the use of his right arm, he continues to take on challenge after challenge.  His latest goal is to compete in the 2020 Paralympics!  We certainly support his drive to excel, and hope to see him on the podium for that event accepting his first medal! Episode 13 Brachial Plexus .mp3   Ron [00:00:19] Hello and welcome to PodcastDX the show that brings you interviews with people, just like you whose lives were forever changed by a diagnosis. This podcast is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice diagnosis or treatment. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health care provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition or treatment and before undertaking a new health care regimen and never disregard professional medical advice or delay it in seeking because it's something you have heard on this podcast.   Lita [00:00:58] I'm Lita.   Jean [00:00:59]  I'm Pokémon.   Lita [00:01:00] . Pokey man?   Ron [00:01:04] And I guess I'm Ron. I am one of the co-hosts and also today's guest.   Lita [00:01:10] Yes. Yay Ron. Collectively we are the hosts of podcast D X and Ron we will not make you ask questions as well as answer them today because that would be a whole different theme show under DSM 5.   Ron [00:01:24] I do appreciate that thank you very much.   Jean [00:01:27] The topic for today is rather complex so bear with me a moment. The actual injury we will discuss is a brachial Plexus Avulsion and a secondary topic is living a full life with any type of disability from handling bullying as a child to searching for a job as an adult. The first brachial plexus is a network of nerves that sends a signal from your spinal cord out to your shoulder arm and hand.   Lita  [00:01:54] That's correct. It's a bundle. Or like Jean said a network of nerves starting at c5 going down to T1. So it's C5 C 6, c7 c 8 and T1 there are five of them coming from the spinal cord going out through each shoulder down to the arm and the fingers they connect and they run all the way to the fingers and they separate and rejoin as they do this so they'll be like opening up closing back together. It's it's a nerve bundle. Now if. Part of the nerve bundle is stretched or compressed possibly through contact sports like wrestling or football. The individual can feel an electric shock or a burning sensation down the arm or a numbness or weakness in the arm. For minor injuries the symptoms could last well maybe a couple of seconds a couple of minutes they might linger for days but in a more severe injury called an avulsion the nerve root is actually torn from the spinal cord where it originates. This might happen in a motor vehicle accident or other trauma. And Ron was a youngster when his occurred. It affected his right arm which never recovered from what must have been a complete tear.   Ron [00:03:15] That's pretty much true. I was so young at the time. I. I didn't get any information from the doctors. I mean we've had like almost 50 years ago.   Lita [00:03:26] Yeah that's, that's probably hard to remember that.   Jean [00:03:29] Right in when you get injured as a young child it must be you've had been a very frightened time for you and for your mother as well.   Ron [00:03:37] Well to be honest for me I don't really have any recollection. I think I was maybe too young or something that maybe just blocked out of my mind. I was four…   Jean:  Sure Ron:  … when the accident happened but for my mom, I'm sure it was much more of a traumatic event. Anybody who's a parent out there when something happens to your child it's like...   Lita [00:04:07] it's your whole world.   Ron [00:04:07] yeah Because you're her child.   Ron [00:04:07] Yeah right.   Ron & Lita [00:04:08] Your whole world.   Ron [00:04:09] The responsibility and all that whether or not it's your fault or not. So yeah I'm sure it's probably much harder on the mom. But again for me as a kid I don't recollect any of it whatsoever.   Lita [00:04:25] ok, We've had many medical advances since the what, this would be like the 1960s that this has happened.   Ron [00:04:32] Somebody said you know, I'm not that old (Laughter)   Lita [00:04:33] I'm sorry about that. ( laughter )But again we're dating myself and treatment protocols are more aggressive now with the use of nerve transplants. This injury is more common than you would think during birth when the baby's shoulder has trouble passing under the mother's pubic bone. And the doctor has to do significant manipulation of the baby in order to allow the birthing process to take place. The resulting injuries called Herb's palsy depending on the severity of the injury it can also be a lifelong detriment or it could clear up on its own in time or with the new surgical procedures and techniques like nerve transplant.   Jean [00:05:13] That's right. Obstetrical brachial plexus injuries happened about four out of a thousand births. It's not it's common but it's not all that common in parents probably don't even hear about it unless it happens to their child breech deliveries force babies arms to stretch up over their head during birth and that can be one of the causes.   Ron [00:05:32] It's pretty interesting I'm sure that the new mothers out there or mothers to be are going to be thinking about this right now.   Jean [00:05:40] Yeah.   Ron [00:05:41] And of course we know that the brachial plexus injury have been very contact sports like football hockey and wrestling.   Jean [00:05:47] Or even high jumps.   Lita [00:05:49] ohhh High Jumps, . The only data I could find was dated 1990s where it was reported to be the most common injury during contact sports with two point two per hundred players incurring this injury during their time playing sports. And that's across the board. That's all sport players from youngsters up to professional athletes when the injury occurs the athlete feels a sharp burning or stinging pain hence the common names burner or Stinger radiating from the Super Clavicular area down the arm to the hand. This is accompanied by numbness or tingling of the upper extremity.   Jean [00:06:29] I think everyone's felt something comparable to this at some point in their lives if they never hit their elbow.   Lita [00:06:34] Right.   Jean [00:06:34] Sharply. And you feel that selection faint tingling painful feeling and that's the nerve being hit at that point. There are actually several forces at work when a youngster has a traumatic accident on a plus size because the nerves and muscles are still developing there's always a chance for some recovery with just given time and possibly with physical therapy. Also if the incident occurs very early on the child may learn to adapt well with this and automatically without even realizing that there is maybe a deficit or something they'll just be able to adapt and learn around it. And if it's all you've ever known well then it's your own level of normal. And Ron I think that is what you're saying. You were saying before the show that you're used to it.   Ron [00:07:21] Well yeah that's right. Because the accident it had happened so long ago and I was so young I never really learned how to do something. Another way. I grew up learning how to do things that I did with we'll be getting into that but I learned how to do them the way I learned how to do them. So that was my normal. But it's a lot different for people who are older that have to adapt. Yes I'd become their new normal. But the older you are the more you're used to doing it one way then you need to change what you're doing to a different way to adapt to you know whatever happened. A lot of times that becomes much more difficult for people because they have to relearn how to do something.   Jean [00:08:08] Right.   Lita [00:08:09] Right. So you're injury because it was so young and it resulted in atrophy of your right arm. You just adapted to life without it and because it happens so young you really didn't even realize that. It was there or wasn't there. And what you might have been missing is that right.   Ron [00:08:26] Right. I wouldn't call it adapting, because I didn't know any other way you know what I mean I guess you could say it wasn't happening but because I didn't know you just said hey this is how it works for me right.   Jean [00:08:39] Right. Well as a youngster did your friends or family members ever treat you differently. Were you ever bullied or were you just one of the guys.   Ron [00:08:48] You know looking back. Family wise not always always encouraged to do stuff. I've always played sports as a kid growing up. I would have been playing baseball softball and baseball in my mid 30s. I played a lot of different sport. I never really had that from my family at all and from kids growing up I guess if I look back it probably was some but because I was doing a lot of the same sports activities as my parents and my friends I didn't look at it that way or I wasn't getting as much as some people may get.   Jean [00:09:31] OK. And in no matter what happened you persevered and you've kept your positive attitude throughout and I'm sure your family had a lot to do with your attitude and always looking you know to succeed and that's you know obviously their support is extremely important.   Ron [00:09:49] Oh absolutely my family's been great. I never ever. Had things. Given to me differently or told I couldn't do something for fear of get hurt or told you should'nt try this. I was always encouraged or maybe not encouraged, but my mom or my family would always be behind you when I said you could do stuff. Never surprised when they tried to do something new or different. But I was encouraged to do so. Yeah. My family's been great my whole life.   Lita [00:10:22] I know that some of the sports you've participated in scuba for sure since you're a part of the Dive Heart organization and baseball golf and lately archery. Has it been any easier the last 30 years compared to the first 20 years of your injury. The Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 that might have been having a benefit for your pursuing sports.   Ron [00:10:45] To be honest the ADA really has not been an issue for me one way or the other. Again when I started playing sports. It was 20 years you know almost 20 years before the ADA came about and I've been doing it my whole life. I like the challenge. I when I was a kid I loved playing baseball I still wish I could. But you know father time has caught up with me. But I still do other sports that may not be as physically active I like to be involved and whatever it is. I like the challenge.   Lita [00:11:28] right, Well I know that at the range we were talking yesterday and you said as an adult you still have to prove yourself when joining a new group. You said that. It sounded a lot like where I said it sounded a lot like. Being a female mechanic and you didn't understand that because you're not a female or a mechanic but talk about that a little bit now as an adult. How difficult is it for you to get into new situations. Are there people that stare. Does it make you self-aware.   Ron [00:11:57] Right. And before we go along with this I need to say thank you for stealing my line. I think that was my line yesterday. I'm not a woman or a mechanic.   Lita [00:12:04] Laughter.   Ron [00:12:06] I mean.   Lita [00:12:08] I knew I heard it somewhere.   Ron [00:12:13] The reality. Yes. You know the one thing I have noticed throughout the years is because I do things my own way to participate. I do see people that busted me or does dare I lead them and now I'm used to it. But it's probably a little more un-nerving when I was growing up. But again like I said I'm used to it now. But even since I was a kid I did always have to prove myself. But even with my peers or the kids from little league that I grew up with. After a while they knew me. But when I started playing against other people they didn't, or when I played in travel leagues. we did, you know, other people people didn't know me per se, yes. And I always had to prove myself again because they're always looking at me out there who's doing things differently than them. And a lot of times I would get the look, or the stares, or the "yeah this kid doesn't belong. This guy shouldn't be here" until I started playing.   Jean [00:13:18] Okay. Well I just learned that, when you're meeting new people or entering a new group the functional MRI of someone who is meeting new people looks the same as a functional MRI of someone who is perceives a threat. Or is in distress. So for I think for everyone it's always challenging and a little bit scary when entering a new group and it's just interesting that you know it it's it can be hard for anyone. And I know that when I was using a wheelchair I often felt that people always wanted to help me even if I didn't need help or I felt like I could do something on my own. And I oftentimes felt conflicted. You know sometimes I wanted people I needed help and other times I just wanted to be able to do things on my own and I had difficulty finding the words to actually let someone know that I'm okay I can handle something and I I'm okay and I know what I was doing. Do you ever feel uncomfortable asking for help or would rather do things on your own until you can acquire the ability or something like that.   Ron [00:14:28] That's an interesting question. I'm pretty stubborn in that sense that yeah I like to do things independently. I will ask if I can't or it just becomes too difficult. But there really isn't much at all that I can't do because again I find a way to do it.   Jean [00:14:49] mmhmm.   Ron [00:14:49] And there are people out there and with all good intention some kind of want to help or whatever. Sometimes it's difficult to not accept the help or I mean I do. I'm just so used to doing things myself.   Jean [00:15:04] Mmhmm ok,   Lita [00:15:06] Your your recent challenge is a personal one. That's archery. I know you're working hard to improving your stance and you're breathing. What is the hardest part of your current challenge.   Ron [00:15:20] Well you are an Archer from the past and you could understand the sport and every little part of your stand. Every part of your posture, every little part of your release it impacts where your arrows are lined up. So right now I think the biggest challenge I'm having is consistency with all the little minute aspects of the sport. If you're aware I'm shooting at a target it's 50 meters 55 yards from where I'm standing and the whole size is about half the size of a compact disc. So trying to hit a target that small from that distance precision and accuracy is paramount. So any little. Change in posture or release can affect the arrow where it hits the target. So it's getting that consistency with every aspect of eventually releasing the arrow.   Jean [00:16:26] OK. And I think those of us who have fired at a range with weaponry we kind of understand that where even like the slightest variation in your breath can affect where you hit on a target and if any of our listeners have any tips or tricks or suggestions we'd be happy to hear them and pass them on to Ron. And I know I won't be at the archery range anytime soon. I was almost almost never made it into this world when a stray arrow almost got me when I was still in my mom's belly. So yeah a little bit of a fear there.   Lita [00:17:01] Yeah yeah. We won't be dragging you out there. I want the parents at home to realize that. It's only a disability if you let it become one. I know it's simplistic. I don't mean to be shallow regarding anyone's feelings but I think it's okay to let your child stumble just like any other child that will, as they're growing. You don't need to be overprotective. You can let the child learn and adapt. You can give guidance and support. And be there when they need you but don't be so overprotective that they can't grow and learn for themselves what will work, what won't work, is that What you are trying to say Ron?   Ron [00:17:43] Yeah it's funny that you put it that way. I recall when I was a child. One of the parents, this was in little league, actually. Told my mom. That she was surprised that my mom was allowing me to ride a bike.   Lita [00:18:03] tskk.   Ron [00:18:03] Exactly. It's ridiculous. Now I again I'm sure she meant well but sometimes if you're overprotective you don't allow your kids to be kids you know grow and flourish.   Lita [00:18:15] Right.   Jean [00:18:17] Well we heard about a quad amputee who had a bike  modified from Ride to Recovery. And he was injured. The gentleman was injured in the military and had to have all four limbs amputated amputated and he actually he works. His part. He works there, I don't know exactly how the motion works but he's had adapt, adaptations made to the bike. And when it's first time out on the road he fell over and was,.   Lita [00:18:46]  wiped out.   Jean [00:18:48] And wiped out.  And they went to him and said "Oh you you do not want to try this." and he said "oh no let's. Let's go. Let's try it". You know you got to get out there you've got to try it and adoptions can be made for anyone.   Ron [00:18:59] Oh absolutely. I remember I could take some of my students adaptted  water skiing with a group that provides beach sports in waterskiing for people that can't walk. And one of my students who was waterskiing on the lake up in Twin Lakes Wisconsin wiped out.   Jean [00:19:18] Yeah.   Ron [00:19:18] You know everybody's freaking out. "Oh my God oh my God." And we got the girl up, and get her back on to the ski boat. She was laughing.   Lita [00:19:30] (laughter).   Ron [00:19:30] And everybody said what are you laughing for.  I'm having fun.   Jean [00:19:34] Yeah.   Ron [00:19:35] You know I think she cut herself. Who doesn't. You know you can't treat somebody you know like glass just because you're afraid something's going to happen.   Lita [00:19:45] Kids are gonna get hurt.   Ron [00:19:46] Exactly. But it's great. Nowadays a lot of organizations are out there that have opportunity if you will both for sport and for. The other other forms of leisure that weren't around many many years ago. You guys were aware of being Veterans and through the VA hospital,.   Jean [00:20:12] yeah.   Ron [00:20:12] And we have in Chicago now known as the Shirley Ryan ability clinic or ability lab.   Lita [00:20:18] Right.   Ron [00:20:19] They have so much going on out there, that borders, of the different organizations that I'm involved with, with the Dive Heart which does adapted Scuba diving, the other organization which I mentioned is the water skiing, is called dreams for kids.   Jean [00:20:36] OK,.   Ron [00:20:36] And they allow kids to be kids.   Jean [00:20:39] Right.   Ron [00:20:39] So by water skiing in the summer snow skiing in the winter. You know for kids that can't walk. There's a lot more that goes into it. But where I'm going with this is a lot more opportunity for not just kids. Kids and adults, with any type of disability to get involved in sport or any other recreational activities. So the sky can be the limit now.   Lita [00:21:03] I think we finally touched on the recreational therapy portion.   Jean [00:21:08] Oh Shocking given that we have two recreational therapists in the room. What do you get when you have two recreational therapists in the room. Yeah. A lot of talk about recreational therapy. And they will tell you that anyone can do anything.   Lita [00:21:22] Yes.   Ron [00:21:24] What's not great about that. (Laughter)  Yeah. Anything that's out there, there is always a way to modify it for somebody to participate in and that's what Lita and I went to school for and I believe we both still believe wholeheartedly in this and the way I got involved had nothing to do with my disability although having a disability it's kind of helped me to help others. But again because of the times we are in now and all the different organizations there are out there and the opportunities that exist if you are interested  whether an active sport or any other type of recreational opportunity is always going to be something there for you.   Jean [00:22:12] Well that's that's really great. I know always our world gets smaller with our ability to communicate instantly and diversity is easier to observe and hopefully more accepted our collective appreciation and acceptance of people is certainly one of human natures its greatest strengths.   Ron [00:22:32] Oh I totally agree. I think nowadays with much more emphasis on acceptance I don't think there is much of a stigma, that used to be when I was a kid. And I think that the world is more open to people with disabilities participating in sports.   Jean [00:22:55] OK, Yeah. You got to see the person.   Lita [00:22:57] Right. Well. We started out the episode discussing brachial plexus injury but also we drifted off into the difficulties children may have when there's something a little bit different than their peers. But we celebrate those differences we stand in support of anyone with a physical mental or emotional challenge and we hope our listeners will do the same and help those in their lives to also do the same.   Jean [00:23:24] When they need help or when they ask for it.   Lita [00:23:26] If they need it.   Jean [00:23:27] Yeah.   Lita [00:23:27] Be there for them all   Jean: right.   Lita:  If you have any questions or comments related to today's show please contact us at Podcast D X at yahoo dot com to our Web site Podcast DX dot com, our Facebook page, Pinterest, Instagram or Twitter and Ron. Thank you for being our guest.   Jean:  Thank you.   Ron [00:23:47] I appreciate it. I wish I had more time but I'm joking over here.   Lita [00:23:54] (laughter).   Ron [00:23:54] Thank you. And for our listeners out there if you have a moment to spare please give us a five star review where ever you get your podcast ap. Until next time.   Lita [00:24:03] We're gone.
