Learn about the Healing Power of Prolonged Fasting: HEREWhat if the secret to deep healing isn't doing more, but going further?Most people assume that repeating short fasts is just as powerful as completing one long fast. Stack enough three-day fasts together and you'll eventually get the same result, right?It's a reasonable assumption, but it may be costing you the deeper healing you're working so hard to reach.Dr. Katie breaks down something many people have never been taught: short fasts and prolonged fasts are not the same healing tool. Short fasts are genuinely valuable. They can support ketosis, lower insulin, improve metabolic flexibility, and put pressure on cancer cells. Dr. Katie does a three-day fast herself every month.But she says they stop short of the second tier.That second tier begins after the early detox window, when the body moves into a much deeper fasting state. Around day eight is the threshold where the fast stops being just a metabolic tool and begins to reveal a much deeper layer of healing. Dr. Katie believes most people never reach because they keep restarting the clock.Chapters:00:04:22 - Why Short Fasts Reset the Clock00:05:21 - Detox Starts After Day Four00:06:21 - Why Long Fasts Need Supervision00:07:23 - The Danger of Refeeding Wrong00:08:21 - The Magic of Day Eight00:09:31 - The Body Targets Damaged Tissue00:10:22 - When Tumor Shrinkage Becomes Possible00:12:17 - The Mind Finally Quiets00:13:20 - Healing Crises Begin00:16:49 - Why You Can't Stack Short Fasts00:17:32 - Cancer Deserves the Full Distance00:18:52 - The Brain Tumor That Disappeared00:19:45 - Why Refeeding Matters Most00:21:00 - Fasting Opens Emotional Healing00:23:19 - What Cancer Experts Would Do00:24:45 - Physical and Emotional Healing Arrive TogetherEvery time you break a fast, your body doesn't just pause.

Listen to today's podcast... It is time to take make sure that we take our lunch break. North American workers who take a lunch break every day scored higher on a wide range of engagement metrics, including job satisfaction, likelihood to continue working at the same company, and likelihood to recommend their employer to others. And though we would like to blame others for not taking our lunch break, that doesn't seem to be the case in reality. It seems that our workload is a much greater influence on whether or not we take a lunch break than our boss or company policy. And if we do eat, we tend to stay at our desks and nibble while we work. Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency! So Here are today's Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Take Back The Lunch Break Day: Know that it is essential to take that lunch break in order to maintain your energy and productivity. 38% of employees don't feel encouraged to take a lunch break. It is everyone's responsibility to ensure healthy habits within the workplace. So, invite a friend to go for a lunchtime walk. The light break and exercise will boost your mental health and your immunity. If you are the boss, model healthy habits by not calling lunch time meetings. Encourage your team to leave their desks for lunch. Prolonged sitting is a health risk, so get up, stretch, grab something to eat, and change the scenery. Your mind and body will thank you.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
The FBI director publicly criticized how the Nancy Guthrie case was handled. Jennifer Coffindaffer spent 28 years at the Bureau and knows what it takes to push that kind of institutional conflict into the open. Private conversations failed first. Then the director went on record. That sequence tells you something specific about how badly the agency believes the early investigation was compromised.Coffindaffer walks through the operational difference between being notified about a case and having control over it — because the distinction matters when evidence is decaying by the hour. Digital evidence degrades. Biological evidence degrades. Witness memory degrades. An 84-year-old woman who required daily medication was missing, and the clock was running from the moment she disappeared. Speed was the single most important variable. Institutional friction is what kills speed first.She addresses the less visible damage that persists months into an investigation built on inter-agency conflict. Investigators become defensive. Witnesses become hesitant when they sense the people asking questions aren't coordinated. Tips fragment across competing internal systems. Prolonged forensic ambiguity this far into the case may signal that investigators aren't working with clean results — and Coffindaffer explains what that means for the prosecution if a suspect is eventually identified.Meanwhile, a headline sent the community spiraling. Pima County issued a BOLO for Coral Michelle Smith — wanted for kidnapping seven miles from where Nancy was taken. Authorities explicitly stated there's no connection. But four months without a named suspect creates a vacuum that pulls in every nearby crime.Smith's fifteen-year record — four prison stints, two revoked probations, a kidnapping charge pled down — describes opportunistic street-level offenses. Nothing matching the porch figure captured on Nancy's doorbell camera. The FBI describes that figure as male, 5'9" to 5'10". Smith is 5'6". The porch figure has an apparent wrist tattoo. Smith's tattoos are on her ankle, foot, and leg. The profiles don't align. But what Smith's record does reveal is a system that kept releasing a repeat offender — a separate institutional failure in the same county that's already under scrutiny for how it handled Nancy's disappearance.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Nancy Guthrie was 84 years old, medically vulnerable, and required daily medication. Speed mattered more in her case than almost any other variable. And speed is exactly what institutional friction destroys first.Jennifer Coffindaffer spent 28 years at the FBI. She explains what happens to an investigation when the lead local agency and the federal agency aren't aligned — not in theory, but operationally. Digital evidence degrades. Biological evidence degrades. Witness memory degrades. Tips fragment across competing systems that aren't sharing information in real time. Investigators become defensive when they sense oversight. Witnesses become hesitant when the people asking questions don't seem coordinated. Prolonged forensic ambiguity months into a case may signal something worse — that investigators aren't working with clean results.The FBI director went public with criticism of how this case was handled. Coffindaffer says that doesn't happen over minor procedural disagreements. It happens when the Bureau believes critical evidence and critical time were lost, and private channels failed to produce change. That public rupture tells you where the institutional relationship was before the director spoke — and where it is now.Four months without a named suspect created a vacuum this week when Pima County issued a BOLO for Coral Michelle Smith — wanted for kidnapping and aggravated assault seven miles from where Nancy disappeared. Authorities stated explicitly there's no connection. Smith's fifteen-year criminal record describes opportunistic street-level offenses — four prison stints, two revoked probations, a kidnapping charge pled down. The FBI describes the porch figure as male, 5'9" to 5'10". Smith is 5'6" with tattoos on her ankle, foot, and leg — not the wrist tattoo visible on the porch figure. Nothing matches. But the headline filled the vacuum because the investigation hasn't filled it with an arrest.The Guthrie family is still waiting. The person who took Nancy is still unidentified. And Coffindaffer forces the question the public hasn't fully confronted: was the biggest obstacle in this case the offender — or the institutions that were supposed to find him?Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The American Psychological Association has done quite a bit of research on what extreme heat does to us and how we respond to extreme heat. Elaine Johannes, the Kansas Health Foundation's Distinguished Professor of Community Health at Kansas State University, says the findings show that extreme heat puts mental health at risk. She says prolonged extreme heat can have a cumulative effect – anxiety, less sleep and less balance in our diet and daily routines, which can then lead to becoming aggressive or argumentative.

In this episode of the Prolonged Field Care Podcast, Dennis sits down with trauma surgeon Mark Shapiro for a no-BS masterclass on wound ballistics. They break down why understanding the physics of penetrating and blast trauma matters in austere and combat environments — even when experience makes you cynical. From high-velocity rifle rounds and their massive temporary cavities to the infectious nightmare of shotgun wounds and the four phases of blast injury, Mark shares hard-won lessons from civilian Level I trauma centers and years training special operations medics and ground surgical teams.They tackle the myths around entry/exit wounds, when (and when not) to explore right upper quadrant gunshot wounds downrange, why you should almost never pack the abdomen or chest from the outside, how to assess neurovascular status in blast-injured extremities, and why bizarre bullet paths and “stable” patients with signs of life can still surprise you.Key Takeaways:Kinetic energy (½mv²) means velocity is king — high-velocity rifle rounds create devastating temporary cavities and fragmentation that can turn one projectile into many.Jacketed rounds still fragment at rifle speeds; never assume a clean through-and-through. Bone fragments act like secondary missiles and can create wounds up to 3x the size of the fragment.For stable patients with right upper quadrant GSWs in resource-limited settings, expectant management can be reasonable — but you must have a plan, know your limits, and be ready to move if things change.Never pack the abdomen or chest from the outside in most cases. It risks pushing debris deeper and worsening injuries. Cover exposed organs if needed, but don't shove gauze into body cavities.Shotgun wounds (especially buckshot/birdshot) are “mobile IEDs” — massive tissue destruction, heavy debris inoculation, and extremely high risk of infection, fistula, and devascularized tissue requiring serial debridement.In extremity blast trauma, assess vascular status (pulses, Doppler signals, color, warmth, capillary refill) and neurologic function. The ~6-hour window to revascularization is critical, but the decision point comes earlier.Training + common sense + adaptability beat rigid protocols when resources are limited. Sometimes the best move is observation.Chapters04:15 – Why Wound Ballistics Knowledge Still Matters (even when you're cynical)08:30 – High-Energy Rifle Wounds: Muzzle Velocity, Kinetic Energy & Spitzer Bullets13:45 – Fragmentation, Tumbling & Secondary Missiles (bone shards & unpredictable paths)18:20 – Clinical Reality: Multiple Injuries & Why “Small Entrance, Big Exit” Is a Myth22:50 – Entry vs. Exit Wounds: When Trajectory Actually Matters (and when it doesn't)26:40 – Right Upper Quadrant GSWs: Explore, Observe, or Expectant Management Downrange?31:10 – The Dangers of Packing Abdominal & Chest Wounds from the Outside34:55 – Low-Energy Pistol Wounds: How They Differ (or Don't) from Rifles37:20 – Shotgun Wounds: Close-Range Carnage, Debris & Infectious Nightmares42:40 – IEDs & Modern Explosives: Blast Physics, Ukraine Patterns & Hard-Ground Effects48:15 – Primary, Secondary, Tertiary & Quaternary Blast Injuries Explained52:30 – Neurovascular Assessment in Blast-Injured Extremities (Conscious & Unconscious Patients)56:45 – Lessons from the Trauma Bay: Common Sense, Training & Knowing When to Deviate from ProtocolFor more content, go to www.prolongedfieldcare.orgConsider supporting us: patreon.com/ProlongedFieldCareCollective or www.lobocoffeeco.com/product-page/prolonged-field-care
Dennis Kneale, media strategist and author of the new book “The Oregoners,” discusses the latest primary election results and California's prolonged vote counting process. https://oregonersbook.com/
In this high-signal PFC Podcast episode, Dennis sits down with Dr. John Wightman — former 24th Special Operations Wing Surgeon, emergency physician, and one of the world's leading experts on blast injuries. Drawing from decades of clinical, combat, and academic experience (including co-authoring a seminal paper on blast injuries just before 9/11 and multiple combat deployments), Dr. Wightman breaks down the unique pathophysiology, recognition, and prolonged field care management of blast lung injury — the often-hidden threat that can kill even when penetrating trauma doesn't.From the physics of the supersonic pressure wave to practical field decisions on tension pneumothorax, ventilation strategies, fluid management, and avoiding air embolism, this is essential listening for medics, operators, and anyone preparing for large-scale combat operations, urban warfare, or confined-space blasts.Key Takeaways:Primary blast lung injury is caused by the blast wave itself — not fragments or being thrown — and creates unique pulmonary contusions, air leaks, and arterial air emboli risks.Most significant blast lung develops within the first 1–6 hours; subtle dyspnea on exertion can be an early warning.MARCH priorities still rule — aggressively rule out (or treat) tension pneumothorax, even bilaterally, before assuming blast lung.Positive pressure ventilation can worsen outcomes (especially air embolism risk) — use judiciously; CPAP or PEEP may be better bridges when possible.PAO₂/FiO₂ ratio (or SpO₂ on room air) helps stratify severity and predict need for advanced support.Tympanic membrane rupture proves blast exposure but is not required for blast lung.Fluid management must be careful — permissive hypotension may be dangerous in blast lung + shock.Don't forget occult blast bowel injury — delayed perforation is real (up to 8 days).Whether you're running a team in Ukraine-style trench warfare, preparing for mass casualty events, or just want to stay on the bleeding edge of combat medicine, this episode delivers critical, actionable knowledge.Chapters:00:43 - John Wightman Introduction: 32 Years as Air Force EM Physician & Blast Injury Expert02:54 - What Is Blast Lung?

In today's episode, Tanner and Anne provide ideas on how to get to the root cause of your chronic pain or symptoms.Neuroplastic pain/symptoms occur when there's a sense of danger and dysregulation in the brain and nervous system - not due to physical disease or damage. So it makes sense to ask - what's creating this sense of danger?You'll learn about pain/symptoms can be fueled by:• Prolonged high stress, including perfectionism and people pleasing• Childhood adversity and trauma as sensitizing factros• Pathological views of the body fueled by medical ideas, Googling, ChatGPT, fear, and avoidance • Emotional resistance• Dysregulated responses to feeling pain/symptoms throughout the day.Tanner Murtagh and Anne Hampson are therapists who treat neuroplastic pain and mind-body symptoms. They are also married!In his 20s, Tanner overcame chronic pain and a fibromyalgia diagnosis by learning his symptoms were neuroplastic, not structural. Post-healing, Tanner and Anne have dedicated their lives to developing effective treatment and education for neuroplastic pain and symptoms.Listen and learn how to assess your own chronic pain and symptoms, gain tools to retrain the brain and nervous system, and make changes in your life and health!The Mind-Body Couple podcast is owned by Pain Psychotherapy Canada Inc.

In this no-fluff, high-stakes episode of the PFC Podcast, Dennis sits down with Patrick Liebel - trauma/ICU surgeon to tackle the injury that makes every medic's stomach drop: penetrating abdominal trauma.When the golden hour stretches into days, evacuation is delayed, and your patient's belly is a black box of bleeding, contamination, and impending sepsis, what do you actually do? Patrick delivers hard-earned, practical wisdom on hemorrhage control, evisceration management, permissive hypotension, antibiotics, nutrition, peritonitis, and abdominal compartment syndrome — all tailored for the austere, resource-limited prolonged field care environment.If you carry a medic bag and might one day face a guy with his guts hanging out and no surgeon in sight, this episode is required listening. Real talk, real decisions, real consequences.Key Takeaways (Actionable Gold for Every Medic):Mesenteric torsion = widespread ischemia → never spin the bowel for hemorrhage control. Clamp or ligate targeted vessels instead.Clamping is fine in the heat of the moment — revise to ligation later when safe. Remember: every vessel has two ends.Eviscerated bowel is happier inside the abdomen. Tuck it back if you can (keep it wet, protect it). Only widen the defect if ischemia is imminent and you're in a controlled setting.Solid organ (liver/spleen) bleeding → permissive hypotension is your only friend. Titrate to mental status + palpable radial pulse. Track trends, not single numbers.Assume hollow viscus injury until proven otherwise. Hit it hard and early with antibiotics (Ceftriaxone + Flagyl is the practical winner most teams actually carry).Nutrition: If they're hungry, stable, soft abdomen, and no peritonitis after 1–2 days → feed them. Start slow, listen to the patient.Peritonitis = bad news. You've done everything possible with antibiotics and resuscitation — now you're buying time for definitive surgery.Abdominal compartment syndrome is rare with whole blood resuscitation but lethal if it develops. Watch for progressive distension + organ dysfunction (urine output drop + respiratory failure).Document everything. Trends in vitals, urine output, mental status, and abdominal exam are your lifeline in PFC.Chapters:00:00 – 01:30 Welcome & Patrick Liebel Introduction01:30 – 08:00 Hemorrhage Control: Clamping, Ligating, and Why You Should Never Spin the Bowel08:00 – 14:30 Evisceration Management — Tuck It, Widen It, or Leave It?14:30 – 25:00 Solid Organ Injuries & Permissive Hypotension in PFC25:00 – 35:00 Prolonged Critical Care Monitoring, Urine Output, and Trend Analysis35:00 – 42:00 Contamination Control, Antibiotics, and Hollow Viscus Injuries42:00 – 49:00 Nutrition, Ileus, and When to Feed49:00 – 57:00 Peritonitis, Sepsis, and Abdominal Compartment Syndrome57:00 – End Final Pearls, Nursing Care, and Closing ThoughtsFor more content, go to www.prolongedfieldcare.orgConsider supporting us: patreon.com/ProlongedFieldCareCollective or www.lobocoffeeco.com/product-page/prolonged-field-care

Kevin delivers straight talk on the most overlooked, time-consuming, and life-saving phase of Prolonged Field Care: nursing care.He answers the exact question every medic wants to know: When does nursing actually start? Then he walks through the full reality of what “nursing” means in the field — from relentless data gathering and charting, to turning patients, pulmonary toileting, skin care, oral care, managing the mess (yes, including bowel movements on litters), and preventing the downstream killers like pressure ulcers, ventilator-associated pneumonia, and sepsis that can undo even perfect damage-control surgery.You'll get practical austere hacks (including Kevin's legendary Barbasol shaving cream trick), training advice that actually works, how to know when the patient is truly stable, when to escalate to a provider, and why evacuation must remain the primary plan — not prolonged field care.Key Takeaways:PFC nursing starts the moment life-saving interventions (hemorrhage control, surgery, cric, chest tubes, etc.) are complete and the patient is stabilized — not during the gunfight or initial resuscitation.Skin care and turning patients prevents deadly complications — pressure ulcers, infections, and sepsis can kill a patient with otherwise survivable injuries.Austere game-changer: Barbasol shaving cream + washcloths cuts through blood, stool, grease, and debris without drying out skin. Bring cheap bottles.First hour priorities: frequent vitals/assessments, confirm stability, get fluids/sedation/maintenance running, then move to the full nursing checklist.Set clear “left and right limits” / parameters for teammates or non-nurses so you can actually rest, rearm, or plan the next mission.Best training: Work real ICU/floor shifts (especially weekends when staffing is thin) — mannequins and sims don't teach the time sink or the “why.”Mindset shift: Move from high-speed, high-adrenaline interventions to the “boring but essential” maintenance phase. If it feels boring, you're probably doing it right.Strategic reality: Evacuation (Medevac or CasEvac) should stay the P in your PACE plan. Prolonged field care with high casualty volumes and limited resources is an enormous time and math problem — history (WWII South Pacific, etc.) proves it.Chapters:01:50 – When Does Prolonged Field Care Nursing Actually Start?04:39 – The Foundation: Data Gathering, Assessments & Charting07:03 – The Full Laundry List of Bedside Nursing Interventions09:26 – How to Train Real Nursing Care (ICU Shifts Beat Mannequins)11:46 – The Critical First Hour: Settling In & Confirming Stability14:04 – Head-to-Toe Assessment, Pulmonary Toileting, Oral Care & Eye Care16:16 – Real Talk: Skin Care, Turning Patients, Bowel Movements & Preventing Ulcers/Sepsis20:50 – How Long Until the Patient Is Truly Stable?

In this high-yield, no-fluff episode, Dennis is joined by Dr. Michael Falk, a pediatric emergency medicine physician, former academic, and combat-experienced relief worker who has run airways in Haiti post-earthquake, Mosul during the ISIS fight, Ukraine, and Gaza. They break down exactly why pediatric airways are a completely different beast in prolonged field care and give you field-proven tactics that actually work when you're the only one there with a BVM and a prayer.Key Takeaways You Can Use TomorrowPositioning is everything: One to two inches under the shoulders (or whole body) prevents automatic obstruction from the massive occiput.Adjuncts > early tube: NPA or OPA + side-lying (gravity is your friend) can keep you from tubing in the field.Tube sizing rule: Child's pinky ≈ ET tube diameter. Depth = 3× tube size. Always go smaller — you can ventilate, you can't un-damage a ripped airway.Intubation mindset: Kid airway is more anterior and cephalad. Slow down, work your way in, or you'll be in the esophagus.GCS decision:
Australians are living longer and longer, which is on one hand a beautiful thing. But on the other, prolonged old age is wreaking havoc. So how might we respond to this new demographic situation we find ourselves in?Lucinda Holdforth is a writer who specialises in looking at what makes good societies flourish, everything from manners to politics and equality.Most recently, she's set her sights on the unintended negative consequences following the extraordinary increase in life span around the world, particularly in Australia.In the past 50 years, human life expectancy across the globe has jumped from 46 years old to 73, and in Australia that number is even higher -- an Australian born today is likely to live until they are 84 years old.On the surface, living longer is a very good thing. It means more time spent with our loved ones, looking at the stars, feeling the sun, living.But prolonged old age can also be very lonely and painful, and, as Lucinda argues, it is costing society as a whole in many ways.She has seen this firsthand, as a daughter who supported her own parents in their long old age, and has some surprising suggestions about how we could do things differently to ease the impact on our economy, our medical system, our elderly and our youth.GOING ON AND ON: Why our longevity threatens our future is published by Simon & Schuster.This episode was produced by Meggie Morris. Executive Producer is Eliza Kirsch.It explores the sandwich generation, carers, women caring for parents, the elderly, dementia, Alzheimer's, Bryan Johnson, biohackers, Blue Zone, how to live longer, Mediterranean diet, tech bros, longevity, muscle mass, aging, deterioration, aged care, death, grief, how to live well, writing, books, old age, diseases of the elderly, tax, taxation, ageism, voting rights, voting age, lower the voting age.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

fWotD Episode 3288: Hurricane Joaquin Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Wednesday, 6 May 2026, is Hurricane Joaquin.Hurricane Joaquin ( hwah-KEEN; Spanish: Huracán Joaquín [uɾaˈkaŋ xoaˈkin]) was a powerful tropical cyclone that devastated several districts of the Bahamas in early October 2015. It was also the strongest Atlantic hurricane of non-tropical origin recorded in the satellite era. The tenth named storm, third hurricane, and second major hurricane of the 2015 Atlantic hurricane season, Joaquin evolved from a non-tropical low to a tropical depression on September 28, well southwest of Bermuda. The depression drifted towards the southwest and became a tropical storm the next day. Joaquin then underwent rapid intensification, becoming a Category 4 major hurricane on the Saffir–Simpson scale on October 1. Meandering over the southern Bahamas, Joaquin's eye passed near or over several islands. On October 3, the hurricane weakened somewhat and began moving northeastwards. Abrupt re-intensification ensued later that day, and Joaquin acquired sustained winds of 155 mph (250 km/h), just below Category 5 strength.Joaquin was one of the strongest hurricanes to affect the Bahamas on record. Hurricane warnings were issued for most of the Bahamas before Joaquin reached the country's southern islands. Between October 1 and 3, Joaquin caused extensive damage on Acklins, Crooked Island, Long Island, Rum Cay, and San Salvador Island. Severe storm surge inundated many communities, trapping hundreds of people in their homes; flooding persisted for days after the hurricane's departure. Prolonged, intense winds brought down trees and power lines, and unroofed homes. Relief efforts in the wake of Joaquin were hampered by heavy damage to airstrips and flooded roads. Offshore, the American cargo ship El Faro and her 33 crew members were lost to the hurricane.Coastal flooding impacted the nearby Turks and Caicos Islands, washing out roadways, compromising seawalls, and damaging homes. Strong winds and heavy rainfall caused some property damage in eastern Cuba. In Haiti, storm tides resulted in severe flooding in several departments, forcing families from their homes and destroying crops, while large waves killed a fisherman at sea. Over the Southeastern United States, a separate storm system drew tremendous moisture from the hurricane, leading to catastrophic flooding in South Carolina. A weakened Joaquin passed just west of Bermuda on October 4, bringing strong winds that caused power outages but only minor damage. Afterwards, the hurricane accelerated eastwards into colder waters, weakening further and becoming extratropical on October 8. Its remnants reached Portugal before dissipating a week later. Across its lifetime, Joaquin killed 34 people and caused US$120 million in damage.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:55 UTC on Wednesday, 6 May 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Hurricane Joaquin on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Danielle.
The U.S. is seeing softer domestic demand for traditional fuels, but pockets of the country remain highly dependent on imported gasoline, jet fuel and diesel. Today, we'll zero in on which PADDs are at the highest risk for shortages and price spikes if the Iran war drags on for an extended period.
In this must-listen episode, Dennis sits down with Dr. Jon Andrews—former 5th and 20th Group Special Forces medic turned Duke-trained anesthesiologist (pediatric & cardiac fellowships)—to tackle one of the biggest headaches in austere medicine: you have a tiny box of opioids and ketamine, a long mission, and a patient who needs to stay alive AND comfortable.They break down exactly how to stretch every milligram using real OR strategies adapted for prolonged field care: patient-specific planning, smart titration, multimodal synergy, regional blocks, ketamine myths, and when (and how) to layer non-narcotics without crashing your patient or your supply.Why this episode matters: Acute pain becomes chronic pain. Chronic pain leads to opioid dependence, PTSD, and worse outcomes. In the field, your choices today shape your patient's tomorrow—and whether you still have meds left when the next casualty shows up.Key TakeawaysStart low, titrate smart. Cut your first dose in half on sick or unstable patients. You can always give more—never the other way around.Multimodal is mission-critical. Hit pain from every angle (blocks + ketamine + acetaminophen + judicious NSAIDs) to dramatically reduce opioid requirements and prevent chronic pain pathways.Ketamine IS an analgesic. It's not just dissociation—it's an NMDA antagonist that blunts central sensitization and has proven opioid-sparing effects.Schedule your non-opioids. Acetaminophen (1 g IV/PO/PR q6h) and longer-acting adjuncts form your baseline; use fentanyl or morphine only for breakthrough.Blocks beat everything—if you can do them. Pre-emptive regional anesthesia (when feasible) is the single highest-yield move before surgical stimulus hits.Monitor like your life depends on it. Heart rate, blood pressure, and respiratory rate are your best pain score when the patient can't talk.Plan for worst-case evacuation. Bring more than you think you'll need and dose for the opioid-naïve or opioid-tolerant reality in front of you.Why treating hypertension in the OR (or field) almost always starts with fixing pain firstThe “start low, see response, add more” mantra every austere provider needsWhy Tylenol often performs as well as morphine in blinded ED studies (and why your patients still doubt it)Real talk on ultrasound-guided blocks in 2011 vs. today—and why proficiency still mattersThe dangerous synergy of opioids + benzos + ketamine on respiratory driveWhy you must get comfortable decreasing doses, not just ramping them upChapters01:55 – The austere reality: limited narcotics and why your favorite med won't last forever03:37 – OR planning vs. field reality: opioid-naïve vs. chronic users05:57 – Multimodal analgesia explained (blocks, ketamine, Tylenol, NSAIDs, dexmedetomidine)08:28 – Patient & mission factors that should drive your loadout12:23 – Golden rule: start low, titrate to effect, monitor vitals15:05 – Sick-patient hack: cut your mental dose in half16:01 – Is ketamine actually an analgesic? (NMDA, opioid-sparing, PTSD data)19:12 – Extending your supply: bolus vs. infusion, redosing strategy24:27 – First-line multimodal choices in the field27:43 – Juggling multiple agents: timing, scheduling, and longer-acting blocks30:15 – Regional anesthesia timing—pre-emptive is king (post-injury limitations)32:48 – Ultrasound & blocks in the current PFC world35:08 – Safety considerations for adjuncts (liver, kidneys, bleeding, alcohol)36:59 – Bang-for-buck data on Tylenol vs. morphine38:55 – Practical integration: layering Tylenol/ketamine with fentanyl titration41:54 – Getting comfortable titrating down (and why pain scores can lie)42:53 – Final wisdom: use everything you're comfortable with.For more content go to www.prolongedfieldcare.orgConsider supporting us: patreon.com/ProlongedFieldCareCollective or www.lobocoffeeco.com/product-page/prolonged-field-care
CoROM cast. Wilderness, Austere, Remote and Resource-limited Medicine.
This week, Aebhric is again joined by Zach Andrews, who leads the latest episode of CoROM Conversations, which explores the recognition and management of severe malaria in resource-limited and austere environments. Drawing on field-relevant clinical reasoning, the discussion focuses on the progression from uncomplicated to life-threatening disease, with emphasis on Plasmodium falciparum as the primary driver of severe pathology.The conversation highlights the diagnostic challenges faced by remote medics, where laboratory confirmation may be delayed or unavailable, and underscores the importance of clinical pattern recognition, early intervention, and ongoing reassessment. Particular attention is given to complications such as cerebral malaria, severe anaemia, metabolic acidosis, and hypoglycaemia—all of which significantly increase mortality if not rapidly addressed.From a prolonged field care perspective, the episode integrates pragmatic strategies for stabilisation, monitoring, and evacuation decision-making. It reinforces the need for structured patient assessment using frameworks such as CABCDEFGH, along with trending vital signs over time. The discussion ultimately bridges tropical medicine with austere critical care, offering actionable insights for medics operating far from definitive care.Key Learning PointsSevere malaria is a time-critical diagnosis, most commonly associated with Plasmodium falciparum, requiring immediate treatment even before confirmatory testing.Red flag features include altered mental status, respiratory distress, severe anaemia, hypoglycaemia, and shock.Hypoglycaemia is both a complication of malaria and a side effect of treatment (e.g., quinine), necessitating frequent glucose monitoring.In austere environments, clinical diagnosis often precedes laboratory confirmation, requiring high suspicion in febrile patients with travel or endemic exposure.Fluid management must be cautious, balancing the risks of hypovolaemia and pulmonary oedema.Prolonged care requires integration of nursing principles (HITMAN, SHEEP VOMIT) to prevent secondary deterioration.Early administration of parenteral antimalarials (e.g., artesunate where available) is critical to survival.Evacuation planning should be initiated early, but delays must not postpone life-saving interventions.Timestamps00:00 – IntroductionOverview of the case and relevance to austere medicine02:30 – Pathophysiology of Severe MalariaMechanisms of microvascular obstruction and organ dysfunction06:00 – Clinical PresentationRecognising early vs severe disease in the field10:30 – Assessment FrameworksApplying structured approaches (CABCDEFGH, CPRO, BEAST)15:00 – Management PrioritiesAntimalarials, glucose, fluids, and airway considerations20:30 – Complications and MonitoringCerebral malaria, acidosis, anaemia, and respiratory failure25:00 – Prolonged Field Care ConsiderationsNursing care, documentation, and trending30:00 – Evacuation and Decision-MakingWhen and how to move the patient33:00 – Key Takeaways and Closing ThoughtsClinical Pearls / Take-Home MessagesTreat first, confirm later: In suspected severe malaria, delays in treatment increase mortality.Check glucose early and often: Hypoglycaemia can be rapidly fatal and easily missed.Think beyond fever: Altered mental status or respiratory changes may be the first sign of severe disease.Your greatest tool is reassessment: Trends in vital signs are more valuable than single data points.Good nursing care saves lives: Positioning, hydration, hygiene, and monitoring are critical in prolonged care environments.Suggested ReferencesWorld Health Organization.

Stocks are near all-time highs—even as global tensions and uncertainty continue to build.Chuck Zodda and Marc Fandetti break down why markets are holding up despite an ongoing blockade in the Strait of Hormuz and rising risks tied to global supply shocks.Also covered:Why markets may be underestimating prolonged oil and supply disruptionsThe growing risk of repeated supply shocks driving inflationA debate inside the Fed over rate cuts and AI-driven productivityWhat strong earnings expectations mean for stock valuationsWhy workers may feel stuck in today's labor marketFrom geopolitics to Fed policy to labor trends, this episode breaks down the forces shaping the economy right now.
Watching the news recently has been an uneasy experience for investors and retirees. War headlines dominate the airwaves, oil prices have surged to new highs, and portfolio balances may not look as reassuring as they did months ago. For family stewards looking to safeguard their financial futures, the temptation to react to these global shocks is powerful. But it's crucial not to make emotional financial decisions. Understanding the CrisisIn March 2026, military strikes in the Middle East led to severe disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz—a global oil supply chokepoint through which 20% of the world's daily oil supply flows. Although the U.S. itself is less directly dependent on Middle Eastern oil, oil's status as a globally priced commodity means any disruption impacts global prices and, by extension, markets everywhere. Brent crude prices quickly soared, spiking 10–15% in a day and peaking at $120 per barrel, amid fears it could rise further.Unsurprisingly, the financial markets responded with a bout of volatility. The VIX index—a gauge of investor fear—jumped from 19 to 25. Though jarring, Speaker A reminds us that these numbers pale compared to the shock during the COVID crisis when the VIX broke 80 (07:02). Recognizing this scale is the first step toward a measured response.Oil Prices and the Stock Market: It's ComplicatedMany assume a direct, simple link: oil prices soar, stocks tumble. While sometimes true in the short term, history tells a more nuanced story. The real variable is the duration of the oil shock, not the shock itself. In the 1973 Arab oil embargo, prices quadrupled, sustained for months, and the S&P 500 lost 37% in real terms, and recovery took six years.In the 1990 Gulf War, oil prices rose 75% in two months, but once the conflict was resolved, markets rebounded in just 28 days. In 2003, fears about Iraq pushed prices up, yet the S&P 500 delivered a 25% return the following year as disruptions were short-lived. In general, short, contained shocks resolve quickly with strong recoveries. Prolonged crises cause lasting damage.Building a Rock Solid PortfolioWithstanding economic storms starts with thoughtful preparation, and ideally, we want to create a “fortress portfolio”—not a flimsy wall, but a robust structure capable of weathering attacks. This involves deep diversification:U.S. small-cap and value stocksInternational and emerging marketsReal estate investment trustsShort-term and inflation-protected bondsDiversification means that even when panic causes correlations to rise temporarily, the portfolio is designed for resilience, not prediction. Selling during a crisis, by contrast, locks in losses and exposes investors to the impossible challenge of timing the market's rebound—a decision research shows most people get wrong.Lasting Wealth Is Built Through Hard TimesWar and oil shocks always ignite fear, but history and evidence are clear that those who stay disciplined, trust a well-built portfolio, and avoid emotional, short-term decisions are the ones who preserve and grow wealth. It isn't easy to hold the line, but it is the surest path to security and freedom for your family's future.Outline of This Episode[00:00] Retirement planning during uncertain times[01:09] Don't make emotional financial decisions[07:02] Understanding the VIX Index[08:57] The nuanced story of oil prices and your portfolio[14:08] Impact of oil on investments[18:13] Why timing the market is hard[23:26] Staying disciplined during volatilityResources MentionedVIX Volatility Products | Cboe Connect With Scott WellensSchedule a discovery call with ScottSend a message to ScottVisit Fortress Planning GroupConnect with Scott on LinkedInFollow Scott on TwitterFortress Planning Group on FacebookSubscribe to Best In WealthAudio Production and Show Notes byPODCAST FAST TRACKhttps://www.podcastfasttrack.comPodcast Disclaimer:The Best In Wealth Podcast is hosted by Scott Wellens.

“Nothing gets easier in flight.”That single line from today's guest says it all. Dennis is joined by Rich — SOF medic and flight medicine veteran — for a no-fluff masterclass on preparing patients for rotary-wing, ground, or even submarine evacuation. From rotor wash nightmares to 48-hour critical care handovers, this episode is pure gold for medics who want their patients to survive the bird, not just board it.Whether you're a ground medic with 30 seconds to hand off or a flight crew managing vents at altitude, these lessons will tighten your game, cut preventable errors, and keep aircraft off the deck longer than they need to be.KEY TAKEAWAYS YOU CAN USE TOMORROWAccurate MIST saves airframes and lives — over-triage or fake intel has real consequences.Document what the flight medic can't see (drugs, last dose/time, hidden injuries).Get access and secure everything on the ground — nothing magically gets easier at 500 feet and 120 knots.Stage 5–10 minutes early when possible. Headspace + rehearsed handover beats chaos every time.Redundancy is king in prolonged/critical care handovers: bring backups to the backups.Trend vitals and nursing care — clean the patient, position them, prevent DVT, manage contamination.Know your receiving asset — a vented patient handed to someone who's never touched one is now your problem again.Balance speed vs. life-saving interventions — don't skip a finger thoracostomy just because the bird is 30 seconds out.CHAPTERS00:00 – Welcome back to the PFC Podcast00:06 – Introducing Rich: soft medic & flight medicine expert01:44 – The brutal environment of rotary-wing medicine (lost senses, airspace surveillance, cable chaos)04:08 – Classic ground-medic mistakes (and how to stop making them)06:24 – Why accurate MIST actually matters (and how bad intel wastes lives & airframes)09:05 – The moped-vs-gunfight story every medic needs to hear13:55 – Standard aircraft loadout + what “special equipment” really means17:39 – Bare-minimum documentation when rotors are inbound (what to write in 30 seconds)20:02 – Handover acronyms that actually work (MIST vs. CIT-D + physical pointing trick)22:28 – Trust but verify: how flight medics reassess once the patient is aboard24:28 – Why ground access & securing lines is non-negotiable26:45 – Staging early, litter drills, and not racing to the rotor wash30:40 – Prolonged field care → critical care transport handovers31:30 – Is the patient ever “too unstable” to fly?

This episode of the Lead with Empower podcast explores strategies for maintaining the attention of a group after it has been captured. The speakers emphasize that while gaining attention is the first hurdle, keeping that attention is a distinct skill that directly impacts engagement and progress toward goals. Key themes and strategies discussed include: ● Facilitator Energy: A leader's energy, enthusiasm, and focus service as a standard for the group. If a facilitator appears disengaged or tried, the group will likely mirror that behavior. ● Managing “Dead Air”: While silence can be a useful tool during group debriefs to encourage reflection, it is generally a significant pitfall during initial instructions or group management. Prolonged dead space can lead to disengagement, and facilitators should strive for a seamless flow. ● Knowing the Audience and Staying on Track: Effective leaders must understand what their specific audience can handle. While some groups might tolerate a joke or a deviation from the plan, others require a direct, concise approach to remain focused on the rules and objectives. ● Minimizing Distractions: ○ Physical Objects: Objects in participants' hands act as distractions. Removing these items before instructions can help maintain focus. ○ Environmental Positioning: Leaders should strategically position themselves and their groups to avoid distractions, such as other activities occurring nearby. ○ Instructional Location: It is often better to move a group away from equipment to explain an activity, rather than briefing them at the site where distractions are present. ● Consistency and Preparedness: A consistent, repeatable process for organizing groups and delivering instructions is vital. Facilitators should prepare and potentially script their transitions to avoid unnecessary complexity. ● Learning Through Play: Because the goal is often learning through play, leaders should aim to provide essential instructions and safety guidelines, then allow the group to begin the activity. Allowing the group to experience initial struggle or success can make them a more attentive audience for subsequent check-ins or debriefs. The speakers conclude that while gaining attention requires significant effort, maintaining it is an ongoing process of preparation, consistency, and awareness of the group's needs. Over time, consistently enforcing these standards helps build a more attentive and engaged group. Find out more at https://lead-with-empower-podcast.pinecast.co This podcast is powered by Pinecast.
