Podcasts about saving lives

In this powerful episode of The Radiology Report, we sit down with Dr. Lilian Ebuoma, a breast radiologist, U.S. Navy veteran, certified coach, and changemaker, whose mission is saving lives through early detection and equitable care. As the founder of Lilly Women's Health and the Lilly Cares Foundation in Nigeria, Dr. Ebuoma is working to close the vast gap in breast cancer outcomes between the U.S. and Africa, where access to screening and early diagnosis is critically limited. With just 300 radiologists serving a population of over 200 million, Nigeria sees more than 30,000 women die annually from late-stage breast cancer, a stark contrast to the 90% survival rate seen in the U.S. But Dr. Ebuoma is changing that. In this episode, we cover: Her journey from Nigeria to the U.S. and from military service to medicine How she's leading the charge in expanding access to breast imaging across underserved communities The cultural and systemic barriers to early detection in Nigeria and how she's helping overcome them The inspiration behind her book, Love Your Breasts, Love Yourself Her passion for coaching and empowering the next generation of healthcare leaders

Isobelle Panton, aka the Corporate Agony Aunt, joins me to slice through modern office life and let go of all the outdated - and honestly, unhelpful - career advice we keep getting fed.We get into what people wildly misunderstand about corporate culture, how to actually get your work noticed, and how to build meaningful relationships - not by jumping into the spotlight, but by showing up in service to others. Isobelle's perspective is clear, bold, and at times a little uncomfortable, which feels so necessary (especially for us quiet ones trying to navigate the noise).Her energy? Absolutely contagious. We talk about what it really takes to be a badass at work and a mum, and how to build a career and life that sounds delusional, until it isn't.

At the Second Annual Morehouse CANDLE Lecture and Forum, under the theme “Pushing the Limits of Education: Pedagogy for the 21st Century,” the documentary “Belonging Beyond Brown” prompted deep reflection on themes such as education, self-determination, class, race, and culture. The discussion reminds us that an Africana Studies framework offers a model for renewing African humanity and helping to link us to the global shift away from European-centered ideologies. This framework emphasizes unity among African people through education, governance, and historical flow and continuity, enabling the ability to overcome limitations imposed by white supremacy. By grounding ourselves in our own knowledge systems, African people can move toward true liberation, benefiting not only our own communities but humanity as a whole. Models of learning rooted in Africana Studies are crucial for African people to engage fully in the transformation of the global order in an increasingly multipolar, culturally plural world.JOIN KNARRATIVE: https://www.knarrative.com it's the only way to get into #Knubia, where these classes areheld live with a live chat.To shop Go to:TheGlobalMajorityMore from us:Knarrative Twitter: https://twitter.com/knarrative_Knarrative Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/knarrative/In Class with Carr Twitter: https://twitter.com/inclasswithcarrSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Mackenzie Little won Commonwealth Javelin silver in 2022 and World bronze in 2023. She won those medals whilst qualifying as a medical doctor.Following her bronze at the Worlds in Budapest, she was due back at the hospital to continue her training, but had to delay her departure for Australia so that she could attend her medal ceremony. She describes how flying back from a Worlds or an Olympics and going straight into a night shift is a very grounding experience with no time to dwell on the highs or lows of competition.After her medal in Budapest, there were patients who couldn't have cared less where she'd just been. Equally though, after personal disappointment at the Paris Olympics, her patients' enthusiasm and excitement for her even being at the Olympics gave her a sense of perspective on what she had achieved.Mackenzie is currently a second year doctor. She explains how she plots a course through life that allows her to continue her medical training and her track and field career. We recorded this episode in Oslo, where Mackenzie had used some of her annual holiday allocation to fly from Australia to Norway in order to compete at that Diamond League meet. On those ‘whirlwind' trips to Europe, as well as competing, she says she gets more sleep than when she's at home working shifts as a doctor. Briefly, having graduated from college in the United States before starting med school in Australia, Mackenzie competed for a European season as ‘just' an athlete, and found that she was ‘rubbish'. Mackenzie believes she is at her best when balancing her academic commitments with the demands of being a professional track and field athlete.Mackenzie won the US Collegiate title twice and was also a room-mate of another former Warm Up Track guest – the double Olympic discus champion Valarie Allman.We discuss imposter syndrome, which Mackenzie feels both ways. She wonders whether her fellow athletes think she's a part-timer, who hasn't sacrificed enough and isn't fully dedicated to her sport. The anxiety is also there in a medical setting – but this time it's the worry that her fellow doctors might think she's an ‘air-head athlete'.The Australian thinks that being a javelin thrower makes the balancing of her two careers possible. If she was, for example, a middle or long distance runner, she knows that there wouldn't be enough hours in day to fit in her training around her day job. Mackenzie believes that the real world demands of medicine, full of situations ‘where you've just got to do it', stands her in good stead in an athletics environment. It might be raining, she may have lost her luggage, but she can switch into competition mode and get it done.Mackenzie isn't sure whether she'll have to choose one path or another, or when that decision might need to be made, it's about what she can achieve now.Image: Bronze medalist, Australia's Mackenzie Little celebrates with her National flag and medal after the women's javelin throw final during the World Athletics Championships at the National Athletics Centre in Budapest on August 25, 2023.

Pro-Life Primetime with Pro-Life Leader Frank Pavone

Welcome back to Ditch the Labcoat, the show where we challenge assumptions in medicine and seek out the systems, stories, and science that truly shape healthcare. In today's episode, we're joined by Martin Bromiley: airline captain, human factors champion, and founder of the Clinical Human Factors Group.But before he became a global advocate for patient safety, Martin faced unimaginable tragedy when his wife, Elaine, died following what was supposed to be a routine surgical procedure in 2005.Martin's journey isn't just about personal loss—it's about his relentless quest to understand why a well-trained, technically proficient medical team could still fall short in a critical moment. Drawing lessons from aviation, where errors spark investigation and learning rather than resignation, Martin became a pivotal force in bringing the science of human factors—a field all about understanding how people interact with their environment, teams, and tools—into the world of healthcare.In this conversation, we explore not just the events that launched his mission, but the broader issues of humility, communication, and system design. We talk about “can't intubate, can't ventilate” scenarios, reflect on the evolution of patient safety culture, and crack open the stubborn problem of medical hierarchy. Martin's story isn't just one of systemic frustration; it's also one of hope and tangible change.So whether you're a healthcare professional, a patient, or just someone curious about how lives can be saved not simply by skill, but by safer systems—this episode is a gripping, essential listen. Plug in and prepare to have your ideas about medicine, teamwork, and learning turned upside down.Episode HighlightsHumility in Healthcare – Humility is vital for professionals to learn, grow, and stay open to feedback, ultimately improving patient safety.Communication Saves Lives – Miscommunications in critical situations can be fatal; clear, assertive dialogue and defined roles are essential in emergencies.Teamwork Over Hierarchy – Breaking down rigid medical hierarchies empowers every team member to speak up for patient safety.Design Smarter Systems – Systems must be created to make errors less likely, whether via technology, checklists, or better equipment design. Independent Case Reviews – Conducting external, impartial reviews after adverse events helps identify root causes and leads to improvements.Small Changes, Big Impact – Reducing steps in processes, standardizing equipment, or tweaking procedures can greatly decrease error risks.Continuous Improvement Mindset – Perfection isn't possible, but aiming to get a little better every day is the key to safer healthcare for all.Episode Timestamps 6:15 — Turning Point: Embracing Human Factors 7:19 — "Science Overlooked in Healthcare" 11:01 — Intensive Care Transfer Decision 14:51 — Receptionist Sparks Important Meeting 18:11 — Evolution of Case Review Processes 22:27 — "Human Factors in Healthcare Initiative" 25:02 — Origin of Aviation Safety Protocols 28:28 — Enhancing Safety in Drug Handling 30:30 — Medication Errors and Design Flaws 33:49 — Promoting Human Factors in Healthcare 38:04 — Team Leadership in Medical Procedures 42:51 — Healthcare Pressures and Consequences 44:47 — "Concerns Over Arrogant Healthcare Professionals" 50:16 — Striving for Continuous Improvement in Healthcare 52:36 — Progress in Healthcare Culture ShiftDISCLAMER >>>>>>    The Ditch Lab Coat podcast serves solely for general informational purposes and does not serve as a substitute for professional medical services such as medicine or nursing.

Sona Shah, CEO and co-founder of Neopenda, is tackling this challenge head-on with an innovative solution—a wearable vital signs monitor called Neoguard. This simple yet powerful device is already saving lives in sub-Saharan Africa and has the potential to make a global impact.Neoguard is a headband-style device that monitors four key vital signs: pulse rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, and temperature. The data is transmitted wirelessly via Bluetooth to a centralized dashboard on a tablet, allowing clinicians to monitor multiple patients simultaneously. “The intent of this product,” Sona explained, “is really to alert clinicians in really overcrowded, understaffed hospitals that something could be wrong with the patient so that our clinicians can provide more timely and appropriate care to the patients that need it most.”What makes Neoguard even more remarkable is that it was specifically designed for low-resource settings. Sona shared how she and her team traveled to Uganda during the early days of Neopenda to understand the unique challenges faced by hospitals in such environments. “We saw hospitals that didn't have any functioning medical equipment. They had rooms that nurses called the ‘equipment graveyard,' just mounds of broken equipment,” she said. This inspired her to create technology that is resilient and tailored to these conditions, addressing issues like power instability and limited connectivity.Beyond its life-saving potential, Neoguard represents a significant business opportunity. With a $3.4 billion market for vital signs monitoring across Africa alone, Neopenda is poised for growth. The company has already launched in over 45 hospitals, primarily in Kenya, and is generating revenue. To scale further, Neopenda is raising capital through a regulated crowdfunding campaign on WeFunder, allowing anyone to invest with as little as $100. “What better way to scale than involve the community in our efforts?” Sona said, emphasizing the value of democratizing access to investment opportunities.Neopenda is more than just a company—it's a movement to bring equitable healthcare to underserved populations while offering investors a chance to make both an impact and a profit. Sona's story is proof that innovation and compassion can go hand in hand to create a better world.tl;dr:Neopenda creates affordable medical technology like Neoguard, a wearable vital signs monitor saving lives.Sona Shah's passion for equitable healthcare drives her innovative solutions for underserved populations.Neoguard is designed for low-resource settings, addressing challenges like power instability and broken equipment.Neopenda is raising capital via a WeFunder crowdfunding campaign, democratizing investment opportunities.Sona's resilience and vision have propelled Neopenda's growth, proving impact and profit can coexist.How to Develop Resilience As a SuperpowerSona Shah's superpower is resilience—the unwavering determination to overcome obstacles and solve critical problems. She described it as the ability to “move mountains” when faced with challenges. Sona's resilience stems from her passion for addressing inequities in healthcare. “If there's something that I'm really passionate about, I will move mountains to figure out how to make it work,” she said. This mindset has enabled her to navigate the complexities of developing medical devices, securing funding, and building a sustainable business model in underserved markets.Illustrative Story:One of Sona's most challenging moments came during the early stages of Neopenda's journey when she and her team had to establish a manufacturing process—something completely outside their expertise. Through determination and by hiring the right talent, they overcame this obstacle. Later, when funding became tight, Sona's resilience drove her to find creative solutions, ensuring that Neopenda stayed on track. Another pivotal moment came in 2023 when the company pivoted from a distributor-led sales model to selling directly to hospitals, a risky but ultimately successful decision that significantly boosted their growth.Tips for Developing Resilience:Find a Problem Worth Solving: Focus on a mission that ignites your passion and commitment.Surround Yourself with Support: Build a network of people who care about you and your cause.Invest in Self-Care: Prioritize your mental health to maintain your capacity to lead effectively.Embrace Feedback: Learn from mistakes and be open to constructive criticism.Stay Persistent: Don't let setbacks deter you; keep moving forward with determination.By following Sona Shah's example and advice, you can make resilience a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileSona Shah (she/her):CEO & Co-founder, NeopendaAbout Neopenda: Neopenda is a healthtech company designing wearable medical technology for under-resourced hospitals in emerging markets. Our flagship product, neoGuard, is a CE-marked, patented vital signs monitor built specifically for environments with limited infrastructure. It tracks four critical vitals, pulse, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, and temperature, without requiring stable electricity or internet. Already in use across 45+ hospitals in five African countries, neoGuard has delivered over 35,000 hours of patient monitoring, helping healthcare workers detect early signs of distress and intervene before it's too late. Headquartered in Chicago and operating globally, Neopenda's mission is to close the healthcare access gap with scalable, context-appropriate innovation.Behind every device we build is a story, of a nurse who stayed calm because an alert came in time, of a baby who went home safely, of a health system that finally had the right tool for the job. We didn't set out to build technology for the sake of it. We set out to build trust, dignity, and access where it's been missing for too long. Because where you're born shouldn't determine whether you survive.Website: neopenda.comX/Twitter Handle: @neopenda_healthCompany Facebook Page: facebook.com/NeopendaOther URL: wefunder.com/neopendaBiographical Information: Sona Shah is the CEO and Co-founder of Neopenda, a healthtech company bringing life-saving innovation to underserved health systems.Her journey began while teaching in Kenya, where she witnessed firsthand the challenges facing under-resourced hospitals.

In this episode of Toni Unleashed, Toni Shelaske is joined by Emily Claire and founder of Save a Friend Puerto Rico - Marla Farren, to spotlight the full-scope effort behind rescuing dogs on the island and finding them homes in the States. What begins as on-the-ground work in Puerto Rico—vetting, treating, and fostering street dogs—continues across borders through transport logistics, community outreach, and long-term support for fosters and adopters. The conversation traces the entire rescue process: from emergency care and holistic protocols to navigating flight restrictions, managing supply shortages, and building lasting partnerships with foster homes and veterinary teams. Toni and Emily also share details of their upcoming trip to the island, where they'll document the work and bring dogs back for adoption. This episode highlights how Save a Friend Puerto Rico operates as a full-spectrum rescue—one that doesn't stop at saving animals from the street, but follows through with every step until each one has a chance at a new life. It's a deeply collaborative effort that requires time, coordination, and a caring community—both on the island and in the mainland U.S.   https://saveafriendpr.rescuegroups.org/ https://account.venmo.com/u/saveafriendpr

Join us for an inspiring conversation with Dr. Ineke Meredith, a dynamic individual whose career has spanned from being a human surgeon to a trailblazing entrepreneur in the pet care industry. Listen in as Ineke shares her fascinating journey, starting as a general surgeon with a specialty in breast cancer, breast reconstruction, and trauma. Her medical training took her across the globe, from New Zealand to Australia, Europe, and the UK, where she experienced the profound fulfillment of saving lives. Transitioning into entrepreneurship, Ineke was inspired by her dog's battle with dermatitis to create effective skincare solutions for canines, thus founding a company that addresses this common issue. Her story is a testament to her commitment to improving the lives of both humans and animals. We also explore the contrasts between the structured, high-stakes world of medicine and the unpredictable nature of entrepreneurship. Ineke reflects on her journey in launching her company, Fur Love, which offers pet products available internationally. Her experiences in the medical field also unexpectedly led her to authorship, with a book published by Harper Collins that has touched individuals worldwide. This episode highlights the importance of maintaining perspective, appreciating health, and recognizing the humanity of patients amid the challenges of both medicine and business.   Connect with Ineke:Instagram: @ineke.meredith LinkedIn: Dr Ineke Meredith Let's keep the conversation going!Website: www.martaspirk.com Instagram: @martaspirk Facebook: Marta Spirk Want to be my next guest on The Empowered Woman Podcast?
