As we take a break over Christmas we have released another episode of Keeping Up with the Khuffashians for you to listen to! Embark on a riveting exploration of how the tapestry of our lives—woven with threads of family, medicine, and culture—influences us from the moment we are born. Alongside us, Anne and Afif, you'll venture into the intimate and complex world of maternal health and birth, seen through the lens of our personal experiences at the Rotunda Hospital. Our conversation transcends the professional, as we unfold the charming blend of Arab and Irish heritage within our own family, and how this multiculturalism enriches our children's identities. Imagine navigating life with not one, not two, but three passports! Our son Faisal's globetrotting potential as the ultimate "spy" may bring a chuckle, but we also delve into the serious implications of discrimination and acculturation on developing minds. We share insights from a study that sheds light on how a mother's encounters with prejudice during pregnancy might echo through her child's brain, affecting areas linked to emotional well-being and social interactions. The narrative weaves in our daughter Maggie's experiences, too, as we celebrate and scrutinize the dynamics of a family with a rich cultural palette. As we recount a harrowing emergency scenario, we tap into the raw and universal emotions that surface during times of crisis. The poignant story of a healthcare team's race against time after a pedestrian accident serves as a reminder of life's inherent fragility. We're all interlinked, our shared experiences and struggles uniting us in an unspoken bond. Join us for this powerful episode that not only examines the intricate connections between our brains and our backgrounds but also honors the resilience of the human spirit in the face of heartbreaking circumstances.

Your patient arrives in the anaesthetic room next to theatre, she's booked for a non elective caesarean for failure to progress. She has an epidural in situ and you decide try to top it up - however after 25ml of lignocaine 2% with adrenaline and around 20min of waiting the block is stuck at the umbilicus and she can still move her legs relatively freely. This is obviously not going to be adequate - she is adamant she wants to be awake to see her baby born. You sit her up, pull out the epidural and do a single shot spinal with 2.1ml of heavy bupivacaine 0.5% + fentanyl 15mcg - after all you don't want this block to fail as well! You clean her back, lie her down and turn to talk to the midwife. When you turn back to the patient 30s later she looks a little purple and isn't breathing....... Hi everyone join Graeme and I this week as we discuss total spinal anaesthesia - a fascinating but somewhat scary rare emergency which can occur when we use regional anaesthesia in obstetric practice.

Prof Kingdom's bio: John Kingdom is a consultant in Maternal-Fetal Medicine and Obstetrics at Mount SinaiHospital, University of Toronto, Canada, where he established their Placenta Clinic in 1999 with his career-long friend Rory Windrim. English by birth, John lived in the southern counties, then in the “Troubles” of Northern Ireland, before medical school Dublin, where he graduated from Trinity College in 1984. Living in the busy Rotunda Hospital in Dublin for 3 months, followed by a summer elective at the Fetal Medicine centre at the Queen Mother's Hospital Glasgow, the home of Obstetric Ultrasound, set him firmly on his career path. He spent the next decade as a trainee in Glasgow, before moving to UCH, London to one of the very few UK subspecialty training positions at that time in Fetal Medicine. He held a senior lecturer position at UCL for only 3 years, before making the decision to cross the Pond to take up a unique opportunity as a clinician-scientist in major MFM centre. There he managed a molecular pathology research lab linked with his work as a high-risk Obstetrician, producing over 400 basic and more clinical publications thus far in his career, including guidelines on placenta accreta spectrum disorder and fetal growth restriction. In 2017, John led the first launch of real-time placenta growth factor testing (PlGF) in North America, which in 2023 is fast changing many aspects of care in our specialty. Since 2013, John has been Chair of the Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, spanning a city of over 6 million. With over 300 consultants across all sub-specialities, working in a citywide network of 10 hospitals and over 40,000 births annually, UofT ObGyn now ranks second to Harvard. Mount Sinai MFM Division of over 20 consultants provides 24/7 in-house care in all dimension of Fetal Medicine, and is home to both the Ontario Fetal Centre and a new Complex Obstetrics Surgery program. Their city-wide MFM fellowship currently has 12 subspecialty trainees in 2-3 year programs, as a mix of Canadian and International trainees, including from the UK. John's current passion beyond his own research focuses on mentorship across the fellowship to consultant transition, and ongoing academic career development. In Fall 2023 he was elected to fellowship of the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences.Podcast information:We have not included any patient identifiable information, and this podcast is intended for professional education rather than patient information (although welcome anyone interested in the field to listen).

"Glas fraincín ar dhoirse Stardust nuair a chuaigh sé trí thine". Evidence was given today at Dublin District Coroner's Court that the doors of Stardust were locked when the nightclub caught fire in 1981. Tugadh fianaise inniu i gCúirt Chróinéara Dhúiche Bhaile Átha Cliath go raibh doirse Stardust faoi ghlas nuair a chuaigh an club oíche trí thine sa mbliain 1981. 48 people were killed in the tragedy. Maraíodh 48 duine sa tragóid. An inquest into the death of the deceased is currently underway at the Rotunda Hospital. Tá ionchoise maidir le bás na marbh ar siúl faoi láthair, in Ospidéal an Rotunda. Michael O'Toole, who was 20 at the time, testified that a Stardust security man told him the doors were padlocked when the club caught fire. Thug Michael O'Toole, a bhí 20 bliain d'aois ag an am, fianaise go ndúirt fear slándála de chuid Stardust leis go raibh glas fraincín ar na doirse nuair a chuaigh an club trí thine. Michael O'Toole testified that the security man - Michael Kavanagh - told him after the incident that he intended to bring a lawsuit: "I'll get everything 'he's got". Thug Michael O'Toole fianaise go ndúirt an fear slándála - Michael Kavanagh - leis i ndiaidh na heachtra go raibh sé i gceist aige cás dlí a thabhairt: "gheobhaidh mé gach a bhfuil 'aige'. They were unable to escape. Ní rabhadar in ann éalú. There was a french lock on the doors", said Michael Kavanagh, according to Michael O'Toole. Bhí glas fraincín ar na doirse", a dúirt Michael Kavanagh, dar le Michael O'Toole. Michael O'Toole was asked if he thought who Michael Kavanagh was referring to when he made that statement. Cuireadh ceist ar Michael O'Toole an raibh barúil aige cén duine a raibh Michael Kavanagh ag tagairt dó nuair a rinne sé an ráiteas sin. Michael O'Toole replied that he was talking about Éamon Butterly, Stardust's manager at the time. D'fhreagair Michael O'Toole gur ar Éamon Butterly, bainisteoir Stardust, a raibh sé ag caint ag an am. Michael O'Toole also testified that Michael Kavanagh told him that he was ashamed that he was working there as a security man. Thug Michael O'Toole fianaise freisin go ndúirt Michael Kavanagh leis go raibh náire air go raibh sé ag obair ansin mar fhear slándála. "We were always told to lock the doors", Michael Kavanagh told Michael O'Toole, he said in his evidence today. "Dúradh linn i gcónaí na doirse a chur faoi ghlas", a dúirt Michael Kavanagh le Michael O'Toole, a dúirt se ina chuid fianaise inniu. Michael Kavanagh told gardai and the media in 1981 that the emergency exits were open when the club caught fire. Dúirt Michael Kavanagh leis na Gardaí agus leis na meáin i 1981 go raibh na bealaí éalaithe éigeandála ar oscailt nuair a chuaigh an club trí thine. But he later retracted the statement. Ach tharraing sé an ráiteas siar ina dhiaidh. Last September, Michael Kavanagh gave evidence directly to the inquest himself. Mí Mheán Fómhair seo caite, thug Michael Kavanagh fianaise go díreach don ionchoise é fhéin. He said that when the tragedy happened, he felt that he was being blamed. Dúirt sé gur nuair a tharla an tragóid, gur bhraith sé go ndearnadh ceap milleáin dó. He testified that after speaking to his father and sister, he went to the Gardaí to change his statement. Thug sé fianaise gur i ndiaidh dó labhairt lena athair agus a dheirfiúr, go ndeachaigh sé chuig na Gardaí lena ráiteas a athrú. An inquest is currently underway into the deaths of those killed in the 1981 Stardust Tragedy. Tá ionchoise ar siúl faoi láthair maidir le bás na ndaoine a maraíodh i dTragóid Stardust i 1981. 48 people lost in the night club fire 48 duine a cailleadh sa tine sa chlub oíche

You'd think healthcare would be a no-go. You'd hope that, surely, even Russian cybercriminals have their moral boundaries. But you have no idea the lengths they'll go to for money. This is the story of how the world's oldest maternity hospital, Dublin's Rotunda Hospital, was crippled with a single email and forced to revert to pens and paper. Is the post-Cold War era over? In this brave new world, nothing is too small, or big, to be digitalised…including acts of war. Russian ransomware attacks almost doubled last year.

Over the course of her career my guest this week has delivered over 1,000 babies. Dr Vicky O'Dwyer is a mum of three, a Consultant Obstetrician and Director of Gynaecology at the Rotunda Hospital in Dublin. She holds a medical doctorate, completed a fellowship in maternal medicine and went on to run a national preterm prevention clinic before joining the Rotunda.

jQuery(document).ready(function(){ cab.clickify(); }); Original Podcast with clickable words https://tinyurl.com/y2w6fszv Two relatives of the Rotunda team were also vaccinated. Beirt duine muinteartha le foireann Rotunda vacsaínithe freisin. Two relatives of staff at the Rotunda Hospital, Dublin, have been vaccinated against Covid-19, as it was said to be in danger of going astray. Tá beirt duine muinteartha le foireann oibre Ospidéal an Rotunda, Baile Átha Cliath tar éis an vacsaín a fháil i gcoinne covid 19, mar go raibh an baol ann a dúradh gur amú a rachadh sé. The hospital acknowledged that the vaccine was given to hospital staff, but that some of it was left in the bottom of a tube after the dispensing process. Dadmhaigh an t-ospidéal gur tugadh an vacsaín do bhaill foirne san ospidéal, ach go raibh roinnt dhe fágtha in íochtar feadáin i ndiaidh an phróiseas dáilithe. There was enough for 37 people. Bhí dóthain ann do 37 duine. Following consultation with the relevant authorities, it was decided to distribute this to doctors and other medical workers in the vicinity. Tar éis don ospidéal dul i gcomhairle leis na húdaráis chuí, socraíodh an méid sin a dháileadh ar dhochtúirí agus oibrithe eile leighis sa chomharsanacht. There was only a little over an hour to spare to give out the doses, or they would have expired. Ní raibh ach beagán le cois uair a chloig le spáráil chun na dáileoga a thabhairt amach, nó bheadh siad imithe in éag. The remainder are said to have benefited 35 medical or frontline workers, but relatives of workers in the Rotunda were given 2 doses, 'reluctant to litter' as the Rotunda said. Deirtear gur bhain 35 oibrí leighis nó oibrí túslíne leas as an bhfuílleach seo, ach gur tugadh 2 dháileog do dhaoine muinteartha le oibrithe sa Rotunda, leisce é chaitheamh sa bhrúscar mar a dúirt an Rotunda.

American model Chrissy Teigan and last week shared heartbreaking photos on her instagram page after losing her baby to a miscarriage. She posted that her and her partner, John Legend, were experiencing “deep pain that you only hear about.” and that her baby would always be part of her family. Jen Hogan Columnist with The Irish Times has experienced four miscarriages, she joined Kieran and Sam Coulter Smith, consultant in obstetrics and gynecology, former Master of the Rotunda Hospital to discuss the loss of a pregnancy. 

This podcast is going to deal with the shameful refusal of successive Irish governments to develop a national monument, a cultural quarter, a revolutionary quarter, a freedom quarter, a 1916 quarter on the battlefield site of Moore St.For those of you who don't know Moore Street runs parallel to O'Connell Street from Parnell Street to Henry Street beside the GPO. 16 Moore Street was the last meeting place of five of the seven signatories of the 1916 Proclamation - the leaders who planned and led the 1916 Easter Rising. It is also where the O'Rahilly - a leader of the Volunteers- was killed. In April 1916 the small streets around the GPO in Dublin were the site of a fierce battle between republican forces seeking independence and British forces determined to defeat them.On Friday evening, 28 April, and with the GPO in flames, the embattled republican defenders evacuated the building. The O'Rahilly was killed leading the first charge. As he lay dying in a shop doorway he wrote a last note to his wife:‘Written after I was shot. Darling Nancy I was shot leading a rush up Moore Street and took refuge in a doorway. While I was there I heard the men pointing out where I was and made a bolt for the laneway I am in now. I got more [than] one bullet I think. Tons and tons of love dearie to you and the boys and to Nell and Anna. It was a good fight anyhow. Please deliver this to Nannie O' Rahilly, 40 Herbert Park, Dublin. Goodbye Darling.Incidently 40 Herbert Park is not the subject of a similar debacle as that of Moore Street. More of that in a moment.The rest of the GPO garrison, O'Rahilly's comrades, made their way to number 5 Moore Street – Dunne's Butchers, and began tunnelling from house to house along the terrace.The following morning they wrapped the wounded the James Connolly in blankets and with great difficulty carried him through the holes they had forced in the walls to number 16 – Plunkett's, a poultry shop. It was an agonising journey for Connolly.In a small room Seán MacDiarmada, Pádraig Pearse, Joseph Plunkett, James Connolly and Tom Clarke discussed the limited options open to them, including the possibility of rushing the British Army barricade on Parnell Street. Tom Clarke, who went to look at the situation, returned to tell his comrades that it could not succeed. The leaders came to the reluctant conclusion that surrender was the only choice open to them to avoid further loss of civilian life.Julia Grenan, Winifred Carney and Elizabeth O'Farrell had stayed throughout Easter week in the GPO. O'Farrell was now tasked with the dangerous responsibility of going to the British lines. She walked down Moore Street to the British barricade and was brought from there to Tom Clarke's shop in Parnell Street where the British Army General William Lowe insisted that he would only accept unconditional surrender. A short time later Pádraig Pearse, accompanied by Elizabeth O'Farrell, and wearing his military overcoat and hat, left the Moore Street headquarters of the Provisional government to meet the British General. This meeting occurred on Parnell St opposite Moore St and close to where the Kingfisher Cafe now is. In the original photograph taken of that meeting only Nurse O'Farrell's feet can be seen and in many of the reproductions since then they were airbrushed out. Another example of women being airbrushed out of our history.Shortly after 4.30pm the republican garrison left their Moore Street HQ and marched to the Gresham Hotel where they were searched before being taken to the Green in front of the Rotunda Hospital in Parnell Street. This then is Moore Street. A hugely important part of our history.
