What was thought to be a stomach ailment for Meryl Summers 1st grade daughter Adelia became much more than that in February of 2023 when she was diagnosed with the Pediatric Brain Cancer Diffuse Midline Glioma. Adelia was called the Wonder Girl for so many reasons during her 15 month battle with this disease which very sadly ended with her passing on May 30th of 2024. Since that time, Meryl has become a fierce advocate for the cause of Pediatric Brain Cancer and has testified in the Massachusetts State House for a bill which recognizes the cause of Pediatric Cancer be passed and signed into law as soon as possible.

Send us a textThis episode reviews findings from a cross-sectional study at SickKids on health literacy in pediatric VTE patients and caregivers (Res Pract Thromb Haemost, 2025). Among 101 participants, 74% of adolescents and 59% of parents/caregivers demonstrated low general health literacy using REALM, HAS-A, and eHEALS instruments. Communication with providers was the most affected domain, and fewer than half of participants were satisfied with their thrombosis knowledge. Adolescents frequently overestimated their understanding, underscoring the need for simplified educational resources and a “universal precautions” approach to health literacy in pediatric thrombosis care.AboutKidsHealth Thrombosis Hub: https://www.aboutkidshealth.ca/thrombosisBastas, D., Mancini, A., Wong, G., Brandão, L.

Send us a textWhat if the most powerful act of kindness isn't fixing someone's problems, but simply being present with them? Pediatric cardiothoracic intensive care nurse Natalie Miller Binkley brings this revolutionary perspective to life in our conversation about healing, presence, and the unique challenges facing healthcare workers today.Natalie takes us inside the specialized world of pediatric cardiac care, where tiny patients with congenital heart abnormalities undergo complex surgeries that literally reroute how blood flows through their bodies. She explains why some pediatric cardiac units now treat patients into adulthood - these unique anatomies require specialized knowledge that adult cardiologists simply don't have.But our conversation goes much deeper when Natalie shares how her experiences during COVID transformed her approach to healing. Working in adult ICUs during the pandemic's darkest days, she witnessed profound isolation and suffering that no medical intervention could fix. This awakening led her to develop a holistic coaching practice centered on a radical idea: before we can heal, we need someone to witness our experience without judgment.Unlike traditional coaching that focuses on giving advice and directions, Natalie's approach begins with creating space for people to process their experiences and regulate their nervous systems. She explains how many symptoms we attribute to conditions like ADHD or anxiety may actually stem from chronically dysregulated nervous systems - the result of constant overstimulation and pressure.For nurses especially, the challenges are immense. Many work 12-16 hour shifts with minimal breaks, sometimes unable to drink water throughout their day or even use the bathroom. With unsafe patient ratios becoming the norm, nurses often spend entire shifts distributing medications with little time for the compassionate care that drew them to nursing.Discover why true kindness isn't always about grand gestures or perfect advice, but creating a space where people feel safe enough to breathe, to be witnessed in their chaos, and to remember they're whole human beings experiencing normal responses to abnormal situations.Have you experienced the healing power of simply being heard?

About Michael and Jennifer Petracci:Dr. Michael Petracci, DC, and Jennifer Petracci, co-owners of Foundations Chiropractic, turned their daughter's neurological challenges into a mission of neurologically focused chiropractic care. A 2013 University of Western States graduate, Dr. Mike specializes in pediatric and prenatal care with multiple certifications, including Pediatric and Family Chiropractic and Activator Methods. As a PX Certified Pro Doc, he uses INSiGHT Scanning to help kids with ADHD, Autism, Anxiety, and Sensory Processing Disorder.Jennifer, formerly an artist, became COO after their daughter's “perfect storm” inspired her to champion this approach. She leads operations and education, helping families discover its impact. Together, they serve their community with neurologically focused care, creating a foundation for health and wellness that starts with the nervous system. In this episode, Dean Newlund, Michael, and Jennifer Petracci discuss:Starting and running a family business inspired by personal experienceEducating and building trust with families about neurologically focused chiropractic careOvercoming skepticism and the challenge of parental commitmentBalancing emotional investment with the need to let go when families aren't readyStaying motivated and resilient by focusing on positive outcomes and “expecting miracles” Key Takeaways:Families seeking neurologically focused chiropractic care must commit to structured care plans with frequent visits, because only repetition and consistency allow the nervous system to rewire and regulate effectively.Educating families about chiropractic's neurological benefits demands patience and clear communication, since many initially dismiss it as unnecessary or “snake oil” until they personally see results in their children.Practitioners need to balance their desire to help every child with the reality that some parents will not commit, which means learning to let go without guilt while focusing on those ready to embrace the process.Viewing each child's transformation as a potential miracle keeps both parents and practitioners motivated, reframing frustration into gratitude and fueling the perseverance needed to sustain long-term impact. "One of the most important parts of taking care of somebody, from a neurologic perspective, is care planning, and making sure that the care plan is right… It takes repetition in neurology.” — Michael Petracci "A lot of what I see helps this to work is a trust in the other person.” — Jennifer Petracci Connect with Michael and Jennifer Petracci:  Website: http://www.foundationschiropracticllc.com/Email: foundationswellness@yahoo.comLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/DrMikePetracci-FoundationsChiropracticllcFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/foundations.chiropractic.llcInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/foundationschiropracticllc/   See Dean's TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370 Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

This year is the 50th anniversary of the first transcatheter ASD closure in a human. To celebrate this achievement, this week we air a live interview from PICS 2025 in Chicago (conducted 8/26/25) with living interventional cardiology legend Dr. Terry King speaking about the events surrounding his landmark intervention as the first person to ever perform a transcatheter ASD closure with his partner, surgeon Dr. Noel Mills. In this one on one interview, Dr. King discusses how he came up with this idea with Dr. Mills and how he found a patient in which to proceed. He reviews what 'informed consent' was in 1975 and also how he and Dr. Mills accurately estimated ASD size in an era that preceded 2D echocardiography. Dr. King speaks about the role of family in his life and offers advice to the next generation. Finally, he shares with us what he is up to today and why he does not believe in retirement. Prepare to be excited and inspired by this wonderful figure in our field.

In this episode of the Inside EMS podcast, hosts Chris Cebollero and Kelly Grayson dive headfirst into one of paramedic's most anxiety-inducing scenarios: the pediatric airway. Despite decades of advancement, pediatric codes still strike fear into the hearts of even the most seasoned medics. So why hasn't this gotten any easier? Drawing on their own experience (plus a few nods to Dr. Peter Antevy), the duo emphasize the urgent need for high-fidelity simulation training, ongoing QA and competency-based training. This episode's packed with insights, strong opinions and a healthy dose of tough love for EMS systems that continue to send underprepared crews into high-stakes situations. If you've ever broken into a cold sweat over a pediatric call, this episode is for you. Memorable quotes "When a mother hands you a 3-month-old in cardiac arrest, that's not the time to figure out you're uncomfortable." — Chris Cebollero “If you want the medic to intubate kids, you need cadaver labs, you need high fidelity simulation. You need to practice and you need to QA that practice. Most systems just can't provide that and without regular exposure, intubation becomes unsafe. And that's why I'd argue if you can't maintain your competency, you shouldn't carry the skill.” — Chris Cebollero “Kids aren't little adults. They do have more challenges. They do have bigger tongues. They do have floppier epiglottis, they do have smaller airways.” — Chris Cebollero Enjoying the show?

Dr. Michael Daignault broke down the latest on pediatric COVID vaccines — the American Academy of Pediatrics is recommending shots for kids as young as 6 months to 23 months, but their guidance doesn't exactly line up with the CDC's, and questions remain on whether insurance will fully cover them.  The heat was on — literally. About 25,000 Camarillo residents lost power after an animal damaged equipment. On a personal note, Mark shared how his mailman delivered the remains of his cat Frenchie with compassion and respect.  Fox 11 anchor Elex Michaelson joined to discuss his exit from the station, as well as breaking political news: the California Legislature voting in favor of a major redistricting plan. Elex was back for more insight on his departure and the ripple effects of the redistricting vote.

The American Academy of Pediatrics is breaking with the CDC for the first time in decades by continuing to recommend Covid-19 shots for infants and young children. By contrast the CDC, under Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., is no longer recommending the vaccine for healthy kids. Infectious disease expert Michael Osterholm joins us to help make sense of the conflicting messages. We'll also get his thoughts on federal cuts to vaccine research funding, and our readiness for future pandemics.
