Pediatric surgery as a specialty hasn't been around for as long as you might think. Before 1946, it wasn't even a line item in most hospitals—children simply waited for whichever general surgeon happened to be on call.In the second chapter of this three-part mini-series on the Public Health Insight Podcast, host Gordon Thane continues his conversation with biographer Nigel M. de S. Cameron to trace the journey of a young Dr. C. Everett Koop—from his first day at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia to the moment he helped turn the care of children into an entirely new medical specialty, one whose ripple effects still shape neonatal, trauma, and fetal surgery today.References for Our Discussion◼️Dr. Koop: The Many Lives of the Surgeon GeneralGuest◼️Nigel M. de S.

   Step into the world of military and civilian medical excellence as we share the stage with Dr. Peggy Knudsen, a leading trauma surgeon whose work bridges these two critical spheres. Her journey from a Minnesota mining town to the front lines of trauma surgery reveals the profound impact of military-civilian partnerships in healthcare. Through stories of her time in Iraq and Germany, Dr. Knudsen unravels the complexities of trauma care and the incredible strides made possible by the collaboration between military-civilian expertise and innovation.    Imagine stepping off a plane and straight into an active war zone as a civilian surgeon. Our latest episode brings that reality to light, showcasing civilian surgeons who volunteered to serve in military hospitals during the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts. Their integration into military teams and the skills honed in the heat of battle are not only harrowing tales of service but also invaluable learning experiences that have reshaped their professional and personal lives. Join us as we examine the rigorous process that prepared these civilians for the battlefield, and the indelible mark it left on their approach to surgery back home. These civilian heroes didn't just bring their expertise to the theater of war; they returned with invaluable insights that have since transformed the landscape of civilian trauma care.     We address the evolving landscape of trauma medicine, where military innovations have found their place in our local hospitals. Dr. Knudsen sheds light on the importance of programs like Stop the Bleed and the pioneering strategies of damage control resuscitation, illustrating the profound influence of military protocols on saving lives in civilian emergencies. As we consider the future readiness of military medical professionals, she eloquently speaks to the importance of ongoing collaboration to maintain a high standard of combat casualty care, ensuring that, even in peacetime, our surgeons are prepared for the realities of war. Her experiences offer a unique lens on the Excelsior Surgical Society's role in nurturing military surgeons' professional development, painting a vivid picture of how these collaborations are pivotal in advancing modern trauma systems.    As we face concerns over a potential decline in deployment experience among military medical personnel, Dr. Knudsen sheds light on collaborative efforts to ensure that the next generation of military surgeons retains the expertise necessary for future combat casualty care.

Military innovations, such as the use of tourniquets and damage control resuscitation, have significantly influenced trauma care protocols in civilian medical practice. The integration of civilian medical expertise with military precision has led to life-saving advancements in trauma care and emergency response strategies. Collaborative efforts between professional medical societies and the Department of Defense are essential for maintaining and reinforcing combat casualty care knowledge among military medical professionals. The importance of programs like Stop the Bleed is highlighted, aiming to educate the public on life-saving techniques that stem from military medical practices. Trauma medicine is constantly evolving, with military medical protocols being adapted for use in civilian emergencies, underscoring the need for continuous learning and adaptation. Active-duty military surgeons benefit from being integrated into civilian trauma centers, helping them stay deployment-ready and enhancing their trauma care skills. The Mission Zero Act plays a role in funding military-civilian trauma care partnerships, aiming to improve preparedness and response capabilities in both military and civilian settings. The trauma community is committed to responding to large-scale military operations, showcasing the readiness and willingness of civilian surgeons to support military efforts when necessary.

Necrotizing enterocolitis, or NEC, is a life-threatening illness with a mortality rate as high as 50% that almost exclusively affects neonates. The complex pathophysiology of NEC is based on an immature intestinal system that makes babies more susceptible to injury once they are fed. Ultimately, this can result in a breakdown of the gut, necrosis and then sepsis and death. There's still no known cure for NEC, but we will discuss the potential of probiotics, specifically lactobacillus reuteri, with our guest Gail Besner, MD. As part of our Women in Medicine series, we are pleased to talk to Dr. Besner, whose research at Nationwide Children's Hospital focuses on identifying novel therapeutic strategies to protect the intestines from intestinal injury, including necrotizing enterocolitis.   Guest:  Gail Besner, MD, is a surgeon-scientist at Nationwide Children's Hospital and The Ohio State University, holds the H.

Did you know that only 3% of children in low income countries have access to surgery, while 85% of children in high income countries like the US have access? This means that easily treatable conditions like appendicitis or long bone fractures could result in death or lifelong disability for children in low and middle income countries. On the bright side, there are organizations like World Pediatric Project that are working to provide access to specialty medical care for children in Latin America and the Caribbean.The podcast episode features an interview with Vafa Akhavan, the CEO of World Pediatric Project, a nonprofit organization that provides access to specialty medical care for children in Latin America and the Caribbean. The conversation covers Vafa's background and career path, as well as the mission and unique model of World Pediatric Project. Vafa emphasizes the importance of access to healthcare for children in low and middle income countries and discusses the extreme cases that World Pediatric Project focuses on. This organization has amazingly developed a network of pediatricians, hospitals, and donors over the past 20 years, which allows them to care for children around the world.Check out the shownotes to learn more!Related episode(s) on maternal and child healthcare:• Why Are Infants Dying From Preventable Causes? • You Mean, It's Not All Kegels? __________________Click here to join the exclusive GHP online community!Support the PodcastClick here to send in a one time or monthly donationJoin the Podcast Mailing list: https://www.globalhealthpursuit.com/mailing-list Make sure to follow Hetal on LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook!Email her at hetal@globalhealthpursuit.com.Thank you so much.
