When a paramedic in Kentucky faced a dying patient and a vial of antivenom, he had to make a split-second decision that could save a life… or end his career.In this episode of The Standard of Care Podcast, hosts Samantha Johnson and Nick Adams unpack one of the most talked-about EMS legal stories of the year: a paramedic who administered a rare antivenom under physician direction, only to find himself facing potential loss of his license.They break down the legal and ethical dilemmas behind the scope of practice, the real-world limits of medical direction, and what administrative law really means for providers in the field. Whether you're an advanced clinician, a medic early in your career, or just starting in EMS, this episode offers insights that can protect your license — and your patients.Listen now wherever you get your podcasts!KEY TAKEAWAYSScope vs. survival: Following the book may not always match the field reality — but understanding the limits of your practice can be the difference between being cleared and being called before the board.Medical direction matters: Acting under direct physician orders may protect you legally, but not always administratively — and that nuance can decide the fate of your license.Administrative law 101: The state board doesn't have discretion to ignore complaints; every case gets investigated. Knowing this process is essential to defending your practice.Culture check: Heroic instincts can lead to dangerous freelancing. True professionalism lies in humility, documentation, and system adherence.Protect your license: When facing an investigation, don't go it alone. Hire an attorney familiar with administrative law. You wouldn't run a resuscitation solo — don't handle your legal defense solo either.SHOWNOTESGivot, D. (2025, October 7). When Doing the Right Thing Breaks the Rules.

In this episode, we are joined by Sarah A. Browne Bradwisch, PhD, RN and Erin Murphy-Smith, MSN, RN to explore the multifaceted implications of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), which are widely used for weight management in addition to diabetes treatment. The conversation reviews the pharmacodynamic and physiologic mechanisms of GLP-1 RAs and addresses the clinical, societal, and psychological dimensions of these medications. The speakers emphasize the nurse's role in patient education, the importance of a thorough health history, and the ethical concerns surrounding both the growing trend of online prescriptions without proper health assessments and use of GLP-1 RAs by adolescents.

Interoperability isn't just a buzzword—it's a broken promise. Jordan Johnson, founder of Bridge Oncology, explains how fragmented systems, outdated data, and lack of standardization are driving financial loss and patient harm. From mismatched EMRs to payer confusion, this interview exposes the operational and policy-level stakes.
Chief nursing officer Rhonda Collins discusses her article "Nurse-initiated protocols for sepsis: a strategic imperative for patient care and hospital operations." Rhonda explains why sepsis, the leading cause of death in U.S. hospitals and a $62 billion annual burden, demands the same urgency as stroke and STEMI. She highlights the power of nurse-initiated standing orders to speed recognition and treatment, reduce ED congestion, improve outcomes and cut costs. Drawing on real-world results from Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System, she shows how standardized sepsis protocols supported by FDA-cleared technology reduced mortality by 39 percent, shortened length of stay and saved thousands per patient. Rhonda emphasizes that national standardization, objective tools and empowering nurses to practice at the top of their license are essential to making sepsis the "third S" in emergency care.

Physician leader Janet A. Jokela discusses its article "Collective action as a path to patient-centered care." The piece reflects on the evolution of physician unions since the 1980s, beginning with housestaff associations focused on scut work and duty hours, through the Libby Zion case that transformed resident supervision, to today's growing movement of resident and employed physician unions across major institutions. The article explains how administrative burdens, loss of professional autonomy, and physician burnout have fueled interest in collective action not to abandon patients, but to protect their care. Key insights from ACP's policy paper Empowering Physicians through Collective Action include the need to ensure physicians have a voice in governance, safeguard them from retaliation, and prioritize patient access to safe, affordable, high-quality care. Listeners will come away with a deeper understanding of why collective empowerment may ultimately strengthen both physician well-being and the patient-physician relationship.

Kevin Freeman, Chief Commercial Officer at Health Catalyst, highlights the challenges mid-market healthcare systems are currently facing, including the predicted impact of Medicaid cuts and the increase in uninsured patients. There is a need to break down data silos and use AI and data analytics to improve the quality of care, reduce costs, and address clinician burnout. The Health Catalyst platform is designed to integrate existing technology, improve efficiency, and provide expertise and support to drive better patient outcomes and manage financially sound organizations. Kevin explains, "Health Catalyst works with healthcare providers, really of all sizes. Historically, more academics and IDNs, but more recently, over the last six to seven months, have really focused on the mid-market health systems. Mid-market health systems still struggle with some of the same issues that large health systems do, but they lack the technology, expertise, and some of the clinical experience that drive outcomes. So, we're really excited to move into the mid-market, improve quality and patient care, and reduce costs at the same time." "Our goal is not to rip and replace, but to meet them where they're at. Those investments that they've made, we can take those investments, integrate them into our platform, and drive those outcomes—that outcome improvement strategy across the entire system. I think that one of the biggest things we're seeing is that the technology is just not enough. Dashboards aren't enough. It really takes driving those outcomes and having that clinical expertise. But we don't just bring the technology. We bring the people with the technology to actually partner with them hand-in-hand to actually drive that outcome improvement." #HealthCatalyst #MidMarketHospitals #Hospitals #Healthcare #MedicaidCuts #HealthcareProviders healthcatalyst.com Download the transcript here

Have you had symptoms return after stopping Lyme treatment? Share your story below. Your experience may help someone else navigating the same difficult decision.SummaryOne of the most frequent questions in Lyme care is: “If I feel better, should I stop treatment?” The answer is complicated. While no one wants to stay on antibiotics longer than necessary, stopping too soon often leads to relapse.Lyme disease is not a typical infection. Borrelia burgdorferi can persist by hiding in tissues, forming biofilms, and shifting into alternate forms. When treatment ends prematurely, surviving bacteria may re-emerge, and symptoms such as brain fog, joint pain, fatigue, or neuropathy often return. Co-infections like Babesia or Bartonella add another layer, sometimes becoming more obvious once Lyme therapy is withdrawn.Guidelines remain divided. IDSA discourages extended therapy, while ILADS—where I helped author the 2004 and 2014 guidelines—supports individualized, carefully monitored treatment when patients remain ill. The key is shared decision-making, weighing risks and benefits, and avoiding a one-size-fits-all approach.The goal is not indefinite treatment, but the minimum effective therapy that allows patients to heal and reclaim their lives. The takeaway is simple: stopping Lyme treatment too soon often means starting over. Recovery is about staying better tomorrow—not just feeling better today.

While addressing fears of AI replacing physicians, he emphasizes the irreplaceable role of human therapists for severe mental illnesses, citing the importance of nonverbal cues and mirror neurons. Tune in for insights on AI's current applications, future potential, and how to stay informed via resources like LinkedIn.Three Actionable Takeaway:AI for Subclinical Support and Efficiency – AI tools, like chatbots, can provide coaching-style support for patients with mild issues (e.g., grief, stress) and handle administrative tasks (e.g., intake, note-taking), freeing clinicians to focus on severe cases like depression or psychosis. Dr. Gorrindo highlights that 50% of primary care visits involve behavioral health components, making AI a valuable tool for triaging and support.Preserving Human Connection – While AI can mimic empathy or mirror expressions, it struggles to replicate the neurobiological resonance (e.g., mirror neurons) critical for therapy in severe mental illnesses. Dr. Gorrindo notes that AI can enhance trust-building by offloading routine tasks, allowing clinicians to engage deeply with patients' stories, as seen in examples like vestibular neuritis consultations.Practical AI Integration – Tools like AI scribes and intake avatars (e.g., language-adaptive systems in Pennsylvania health systems) can be customized via prompt engineering to align with a clinician's style, similar to training a medical student. Dr. Gorrindo stresses using HIPAA-compliant platforms (e.g., Google Gemini with a BAA) and staying updated via professional networks like LinkedIn.About the Show:Succeed In Medicine covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more.

In this episode of Disruption/Interruption, host KJ interviews Dr. Paola Ballester, CEO and Co-founder of EasyPA, about the broken state of prior authorizations in healthcare. Dr. Ballester shares her journey from pediatrician to tech founder, the real-world impact of administrative burdens on patients and clinicians, and how her AI-driven platform is streamlining processes to put patient care back at the center. Key Takeaways: The Real Cost of Prior Authorizations [2:05] – Administrative hurdles in healthcare lead to denied claims, lost revenue, and wasted time, forcing clinicians to choose between paperwork and patient care. Empathy Drives Disruption [4:35] – Dr. Ballester’s deep empathy for patients and providers inspired her to create a solution that addresses the root frustrations in the system. AI as a Force for Good [27:05] – EasyPA’s AI platform modernizes prior authorizations, making them 10x faster and giving clinicians more time with patients, not paperwork. Systemic Change is Possible [36:45] – With new technology, regulatory mandates, and a focus on patient-centered care, the healthcare system can move beyond outdated, inefficient processes. Quote of the Show [19:40]:"The assumption that physicians need to prove on a per case basis that their intent is anything other than to provide direct patient care based on evidence-based standards is wild." - Paola Ballester Join our Anti-PR newsletter where we’re keeping a watchful and clever eye on PR trends, PR fails, and interesting news in tech so you don't have to.

In this fascinating episode of Parallax, Dr Ankur Kalra sits down with Dr Alexander Fanaroff, an interventional cardiologist, clinical trialist, and behavioral economist at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr Fanaroff brings a unique perspective to cardiovascular medicine, combining his expertise in interventional cardiology with cutting-edge insights from behavioral economics to transform how we approach patient care and clinical decision-making. Dr Fanaroff demystifies behavioral economics for the medical community, explaining how this field studies real-world decision-making beyond traditional economic models. He introduces key concepts like status quo bias, prospect theory, and the power of defaults in shaping both physician and patient behaviors. Through compelling examples, including Penn's successful intervention that increased 90-day statin prescriptions from 70% to 90% simply by changing EHR defaults, Dr Fanaroff demonstrates how small design changes can yield significant clinical improvements. Looking beyond individual interventions, Dr Fanaroff discusses how behavioral economics can address healthcare disparities by creating system-wide improvements that lift all patients while specifically targeting underserved communities. He envisions a future where AI identifies at-risk patients from routine imaging, and where interventional cardiologists focus not just on procedural excellence but on ensuring optimal long-term medical management through thoughtfully designed care systems. Questions and comments can be sent to "podcast@radcliffe-group.com" and may be answered by Ankur in the next episode.
