Dr. Jamie Wells is back—and this time, she brought a book. We cover everything from biomedical design screwups to the glorified billing software known as the EHR. Jamie's new book, A Clinical Lens on Pediatric Engineering, is a masterclass in what happens when you stop treating kids like small, drunk adults and start designing medicine around actual human factors. We talk about AI in pediatric radiology, why drug repurposing might save lives faster than biotech IPOs, and the absurdity of thinking one-size-fits-all in healthcare still works.Jamie's a former physician, a health policy disruptor, a bioethicist, an MIT director, and a recovering adjunct professor. She's also a unicorn. We dig into the wonk, throw shade at bad design, and channel our inner Lisa Simpsons. This one's for anyone who ever wondered why kids' hospitals feel like hell and why “make it taste like bubblegum” might be the most important clinical innovation of all time. You'll laugh, you'll learn, and you might get angry enough to fix something.RELATED LINKSJamie Wells on LinkedInBook: A Clinical Lens on Pediatric Engineering (Amazon)Book on SpringerDrexel BioMed ProfileGlobal Blockchain Business CouncilJamie's HuffPost ArticlesFEEDBACKLike this episode?

What are the biggest differences between adults and children when it comes to sports medicine? Summer is coming, whats the best way to keep kids out of your exam room? What's the deal with concussions. What are they? How many can you have as a kid? Does this mean you won't be as smart in the future? Kids these days are in a hypercompetitive sports environment and find themselves playing a single sport year round so they can become the next tiger woods or michael phelps. What do you think about specialization at such an early age when it comes to sports? How early is too early to start thinking about organized sports?

Diagnosed at age 40 after 32 years of medical dismissal, Kristina discusses her experience with congenital Lyme disease in her four children, postpartum Lyme flares, and her commitment to raising awareness through the Texas Lyme Alliance, Center for Lyme Action, and International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society (ILADS) Ambassadorship.

This episode is a masterclass in Lyme disease education and empowerment, especially for women, mothers, and families navigating complex Lyme journeys.

Episode 220 NPTEFF Radiography for Pediatric Hip Pain
This PedsCases episode based on the CPS position statement will give you an approach to the evaluation and management of enuresis in the general pediatric setting. By the end of this podcast, listeners will be able to 1) define enuresis in the general pediatric setting, 2) identify the key points in history taking for a child with enuresis, 3) determine appropriate investigations for a child presenting with enuresis, 4) recognize which situations need intervention and select appropriate treatment for enuresis, and 5) establish the proper follow-up for the child and their family. Today's episode was created by Anne-Sophie Munger, a fourth-year medical student at the University of Montreal, in collaboration with Dr. James Harris, a community-based pediatrician from the University of British Columbia. There are no conflicts of interest to disclose by the authors.
Should we really restore primary molars without local anaesthetic or injections? When should we start taking radiographs for child patients? Is it time to say goodbye to traditional anterior strip crowns and embrace preformed zirconia crowns? And seriously - how do you get a wiggly, fidgety child to sit still long enough for a solid restoration?! The secret lies in choosing a technique that's both quick and effective! In this episode, Dr. Tim Keys unpacks the real challenges of restoring primary teeth, breaking down the pros and cons of popular approaches like the Hall Crown technique, Pediatric Zirconia crowns, and conventional stainless steel crowns (SSCs). Tune in for practical insights to make pediatric crown work less stressful and more successful - helping you find the best fit for your little patients. https://youtu.be/VJm4TFKLXEA Dr. Keys is also involved in dental education and offers courses through his platform, Kids Dental Tips. One of his upcoming courses is titled "Restorative Paediatric Dentistry," a two-day event scheduled to be held in Brisbane. Protrusive Dental Pearl: One of our best ever Protrusive Infographics! This week's Pearl is a handy downloadable PDF infographic summarising the key points from this episode on Children's Crowns Techniques. Grab your copy here! Need to Read it? Check out the Full Episode Transcript below! Key Takeaways: The Hall crown technique is a non-invasive approach to treating pediatric teeth. Radiographs are essential for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning in children. Case selection is crucial for the success of pediatric dental treatments. Zirconia crowns have superior aesthetics over stainless steel crowns. The success rate of intra-coronal fillings in primary molars is lower compared to crowns. Zirconia crowns rarely fracture compared to strip crowns. Mild supra-occlusion is acceptable in pediatric dentistry. Hands-on experience is crucial for mastering crown techniques.

One of NephJC signature moves has been to adapt new technologies and communication techniques to delivering state of the art nephrology education. Podcasts, Visual Abstracts, Tweetorials. NephJC has been on the front of these waves. Clearly one of the most exciting and controversial new technologies is artificial intelligence and it is unclear what role it may play in the NephJC educational package. Our blogs and tweets are written entirely by human minds but it is inevitable that as AI becomes the spellcheck of the 2020s, that it will leach into all of our writing. One AI tool that intrigues us is Google's NotebookLM. This product can create podcasts from source documentation. We have done a couple of dry runs converting our blogs into novel, low-effort, podcasts with impressive results. So, at least for now, we plan on publishing a podcast before each chat. We are fact checking them before publication, but some mistakes may slip through. Please send you feedback, we want to know what you think of this. As always, the email is Captopril@NephJC.comThis will supplement and not replace Freely Filtered. One possible future move is to separate out both podcasts to individual feeds, but for now they will piggyback on each other.

Managing pain in pediatric patients is a critical aspect of prehospital care. Yet, this remains a challenging area for many EMS providers. A new study out called “Barriers and Enablers in Prehospital Pediatric Analgesia” sheds light on the complexities of assessing and treating pain in children during ambulance rides. Led by Dr. Hoi See Tsao, Assistant Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at UT Southwestern Medical Center, the research identifies key hurdles EMS workers face and suggests actionable solutions to improve care. Dr. Tsao, a specialist in pediatric emergency medicine with a passion for prehospital care, shared her insights and findings during a recent interview. “When pain in kids is not treated, it can lead to adverse effects such as increased anxiety, decreased pain tolerance, and fear of future healthcare encounters,” she pointed out. The stakes are high, and the study highlights both challenges and opportunities for EMS professionals.
Pediatricians are superheroes in scrubs, baby whisperers, teen translators and guardians of growing minds and bodies. But even heroes need reinforcements. The pediatric workforce crisis has made a prominent impact on the healthcare community including staff shortages, jam-packed schedules, long wait times, frustrated patient families and fewer new doctors joining the ranks. In this episode, we examine what's really going on. If we understand what's driving the shortage and discuss what we can do about it, we can begin to create change. This episode was recorded at the 2025 Pediatric Academic Societies Conference in Honolulu, Hawaii. Joseph St. Geme, MD, is the Chair of the Department of Pediatrics and the Physician in Chief at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

Conclusion: Griffin Cole reminds us that health freedom begins with truth and transparency.

This powerful episode equips viewers with knowledge and motivation to demand safer standards. Quote: “We've known for decades that mercury is the most toxic non-radioactive element on the planet.
