Contributor; Taylor Lynch, MD Educational Pearls: Thoracotomy  Thoracotomy is used in traumatic cardiac arrest to replace conventional CPR with direct access to the chest. Goals include identifying and controlling reversible causes of bleeding, prioritizing blood flow to the heart and brain, and performing open cardiac massage. Trauma categories Penetrating trauma: Gunshot wounds and stab wounds. Has a higher chance of survival because the injury may be localized and directly repairable. Cardiac stab wounds may have the highest survivability because the defect can be visualized, repaired, and treated with blood administration. Blunt trauma: Motor vehicle collisions and falls from height. Has a much lower chance of survival. Western guidelines EMS must witness the patient lose pulses. Penetrating trauma: CPR for less than 15 minutes. Blunt trauma: CPR for less than 10 minutes. Survival decreases to essentially zero beyond these time limits. Eastern guidelines Focus on the presence of signs of life in blunt or penetrating trauma. Signs of life may include: Pupillary response. Measurable blood pressure. Purposeful movement. Patient selection Thoracotomy should only be performed when the patient has a reasonable chance of survival. It is a highly morbid procedure with significant occupational risks, including needlestick injury. Appropriate patient selection and timing are essential. Procedure Begin on the left side of the chest. Cross-clamp the aorta to restrict blood flow below the heart and prioritize circulation to the heart and brain. Identify and repair visible sources of bleeding involving structures such as the heart or lungs. Perform open cardiac massage as the equivalent of CPR. ACLS medications may still be administered.

Listen Now to 018 WTFuture Watch 018 WTFuture Welcome to a future where your next surgeon might be a 4’ tall humanoid robot operated by a doctor who is exceptionally good with chopsticks!  Meet Surgey, a highly mobile humanoid robot that can remove a gall bladder or kidney via a remote operator, proving that these easily transportable machines can soon be dropped anywhere on the planet and perform delicate operations.  We then  explore a groundbreaking procedure called Genicular Artery Embolization, which uses tiny beads to block blood flow to inflamed knee vessels, offering a successful and relatively painless alternative to total knee replacements.   And then there is a real “sweet cloud” near the center of the Milky Way containing Erythrulose, a sugar molecule that suggests the fundamental building blocks of life might have been sprinkled onto a young Earth from deep space billions of years ago, during what is now known as the “Early Bombardment” period.  Speaking of space-grown miracles, researchers have also discovered that 3D-printing human organs like livers and kidneys in microgravity prevents the bio-ink cells from sinking and clumping together—a problem we compare to blueberries sinking to the bottom of muffin batter on Earth.  We wrap up with a quick peek at the Pentagon’s latest UFO photo dump—featuring a flying anomaly that looks suspiciously like the Star Wars Imperial probe droid looking for members of the Rebel Alliance on the ice planet Hoth.  We had a lot of fun this week, enjoy!

What if the biggest threats to your health aren't diseases in the traditional sense—but invisible patterns of disconnection that quietly shape every aspect of your life? In this thought-provoking solo episode, Darin explores what he calls the Five Silent Diseases: numbness, disconnection, distraction, comparison, and forgetting who you truly are. Drawing on research surrounding loneliness, chronic disease, ultra-processed foods, nutrient depletion, social media, and nervous system health, he reveals how modern systems have become remarkably efficient at keeping us busy, distracted, and disconnected from ourselves. More importantly, Darin offers a roadmap back—through real food, meaningful relationships, intentional stillness, honest self-reflection, and daily practices that reconnect us to purpose. This isn't about adding more information to your life. It's about remembering what you've always known and finally acting on it. You weren't born to simply manage your life—you were born to truly live it. What You'll Learn Why loneliness has become one of today's greatest public health challenges The connection between ultra-processed food and chronic disease How nutrient-depleted soils affect the quality of our food Why social media is reshaping our nervous systems The Five Silent Diseases that keep us disconnected from ourselves How boredom can unlock creativity and emotional clarity Why real human connection is more important than digital connection The difference between information and true self-awareness Practical breathing and mindfulness techniques to reconnect with yourself Why asking better questions changes your life How one real meal and one real conversation can transform your week Why your purpose begins with slowing down enough to hear yourself again Chapters 00:00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:33 – Sponsor: Fatty15 00:04:13 – A startling truth about loneliness 00:05:18 – Why we're more connected—and more isolated—than ever 00:05:49 – We're managing life instead of living it 00:06:25 – Ultra-processed food and the chronic disease epidemic 00:07:20 – Nutrient-depleted soil and declining food quality 00:08:04 – Social media, anxiety, and the next generation 00:08:50 – The systems keeping us disconnected 00:09:34 – Introducing the Five Silent Diseases 00:09:56 – Silent Disease #1: Numbness 00:10:25 – Silent Disease #2: Disconnection 00:10:56 – Silent Disease #3: Distraction 00:11:27 – Silent Disease #4: Comparison 00:11:58 – Silent Disease #5: Forgetting who you are 00:12:33 – Responsibility creates power 00:12:53 – Sponsor: Shakeology 00:14:44 – A guided breathing and mindfulness practice 00:15:25 – The one truth you've been avoiding 00:15:46 – "What do you know that you're pretending not to know?" 00:16:09 – Quieting the noise to hear yourself 00:16:49 – Four practical actions to transform your life 00:16:57 – Eat one real, whole-food meal today 00:17:16 – Have one meaningful conversation this week 00:17:39 – Disconnect from your phone and embrace boredom 00:18:03 – Write down the truth you've been avoiding 00:18:23 – Take one step toward the life you actually want 00:18:56 – Why your dreams deserve your attention 00:19:29 – Presence over productivity 00:19:38 – Busy isn't the same as living 00:20:01 – One real meal.

Modern life constantly pulls your attention outward, leaving little room to notice what your body, your heart, and your intuition have been trying to tell you all along. Healing begins when you slow down enough to listen. One real meal. One meaningful conversation. One moment of stillness. One honest decision. Those small acts don't just change your day—they change the trajectory of your life."     Bibliography/Sources: Loneliness and Health Risk Associated Press. (2025, January).

REPLAY! Bariatric surgery is the most effective tool for lasting weight loss, and her experience performing thousands of procedures has given Dr. Betsy Dovec a clear understanding of what can help patients succeed.In this episode of Wellness Junkies, host Amy Sherman sits down with Dr. Dovec, a top female bariatric surgeon and founder of BodyByBariatrics, to break down the decision between bariatric surgery vs GLP-1 medications from the perspective of someone who treats patients with both options every day. Dr. Dovec explains what gastric bypass surgery involves, why some patients go home the same day, and who may be an ideal candidate.The conversation then turns to GLP-1 weight loss medications. Amy and Dr. Dovec compare Ozempic and Zepbound, the often-overlooked side effects, and explain why weight regain is common after patients stop taking these medications. Dr. Dovec also shares why some post-surgery patients respond well to GLP-1 medications and how the combination may help support their long-term results.For women in midlife, this episode examines how GLP-1 medications may fit into treatment for weight gain during perimenopause and menopause. Dr. Dovec explains why the habits you once relied on may become less effective as your hormones shift. She also discusses the health risks associated with visceral fat and the potential role of GLP-1 treatment in reducing the internal fat linked to heart attacks, strokes, and fatty liver disease.If you have tried every diet and still feel stuck, this conversation about bariatric surgery and GLP-1 medications offers a clearer framework for understanding your options.Episode Breakdown:00:00 Meet Bariatric Surgeon Dr. Betsy Dovec01:28 What Gastric Bypass Surgery Actually Involves04:55 Who Qualifies as a Bariatric Surgery Candidate06:30 Bariatric Surgery vs GLP-1 for Long-Term Success09:37 Why GLP-1 Medications Are a Hot Topic10:57 Semaglutide and Tirzepatide Dosing Explained13:34 Same Drug Different Label for Diabetes and Weight Loss15:54 Oral GLP-1 Pills and What Comes Next17:25 Brand-Name vs. Compounded GLP-1 Medications21:13 GLP-1 Benefits During Perimenopause and Menopause23:13 Breaking the Stigma Around GLP-1 Use27:26 Visceral Fat Differences in Men and Women30:55 Sugar, Fatty Liver, and Visceral Fat Risks32:56 How Surgery and GLP-1 Both Reduce Visceral Fat36:40 Inside the OR Surgery Time and Recovery38:38 Dr. Dovec's Beauty and Self-Care Routine48:07 Where to Find Dr. Betsy DovecConnect with Dr. Betsy Dovec:Follow Dr. Dovec on InstagramVisit the BodyByBariatrics WebsiteFollow BodyByBariatrics on TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠For More on this Episode: Read the full show notes ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

by Christian Medical & Dental Associations® What does it take to build one of the most advanced cardiac surgery centers in East Africa — from a napkin sketch to a 400,000-square-foot hospital treating hundreds of open-heart patients a year? In this episode of Faith in Healthcare, host Dr. Mike Chupp sits down with two of his closest friends and former colleagues, Dr. Russ White and Dr. Carol Spears, both veteran missionary surgeons at Tenwek Hospital in Kenya. Together they helped launch Tenwek’s general surgery residency nearly 30 years ago — and have now returned to lead its brand-new Cardiothoracic Center. In this conversation, they share: Why only 5% of Kenyans who need cardiac surgery currently receive it — and how Tenwek is changing that The journey from a single operating room to a state-of-the-art six-theater cardiac facility How the PAACS training program has produced 48 surgeons and physicians serving across Africa The hospital’s guiding philosophy — “We treat, Jesus heals” — and what it looks like to minister to patients’ hearts, both physical and spiritual A candid, moving story of walking through loss as a hospital community The urgent, ongoing need for cardiologists, surgeons, and missionaries willing to serve This is a story of medicine, mentorship, and unwavering faith — and a firsthand look at how God can use “broken vessels” to build something extraordinary.

In this episode of the Prolonged Field Care Podcast, Dennis sits down with Alex to break down a hot-off-the-press retrospective study from the Journal of the American College of Surgeons titled “Challenging Legacy Burn Resuscitation Paradigms with Fluid Restriction and Early Plasma.”They dismantle the decades-old “swell to get well” mentality and the classic Parkland formula that has led to dangerous fluid overload, massive edema, and compartment syndromes in burn patients. Instead, they explore a more physiologic approach using lower crystalloid volumes (starting at 2 mL/kg adjusted body weight) plus early fresh frozen plasma (FFP) for patients with larger burns.Key Takeaways:The Parkland formula (4 mL/kg/%TBSA) frequently causes massive over-resuscitation; the new restrictive approach delivered significantly less fluid while maintaining (and often improving) urine output.Capillary leak from glycocalyx damage is the real enemy in burn shock — plasma helps restore oncotic pressure and may reduce third-spacing.Titrate everything to urine output (target 0.3–0.5 mL/kg/hr). Formulas are only a starting point.Use adjusted body weight (ideal body weight + 0.4 × [actual – ideal]) instead of actual body weight for fluid calculations.Early plasma (1–2 units for >30% TBSA) showed a strong signal toward lower mortality, less ventilator days, and reduced renal failure in this study.The Joint Trauma System (JTS) Burn Care CPG still emphasizes early consultation with a burn center — phone a friend early.This approach has direct application for prolonged field care and austere environments, though the study is retrospective and should be implemented thoughtfully.Whether you're a special operations medic, flight paramedic, or managing burns in a resource-limited setting, this conversation will fundamentally change how you think about burn shock resuscitation.Resources:prolongedfieldcare.org (free downloads, worksheets & more)Follow @prolonged_field_care on InstagramJTS Burn Care CPG (CPG #12) – includes the excellent burn resuscitation worksheetChapters: 00:00 – Introduction: Why Burn Care Still Terrifies Experienced Medics03:09 – The Horrifying Reality of Over-Resuscitation (Edema Photos & Leaky Pipe Analogy)05:30 – Understanding the Glycocalyx and Why Crystalloid Leaks So Fast09:05 – The One-Third Rule Myth & Why Fluids Disappear in Sick Burn Patients11:14 – Parkland Formula Breakdown: History, Math & Its Biggest Flaw13:00 – The New Study: PICO, Methods & the Shift to 2 mL/kg + Early Plasma16:54 – Elevator Pitch: What This Paper Actually Found20:06 – Primary Results: Dramatically Less Fluid with the Restrictive Protocol21:24 – Urine Output Reality Check: Why the “Less Fluid” Group Still Hit Targets24:23 – Practical Protocol Breakdown: Who Gets 2 mL vs 3 mL + When to Give Plasma25:30 – Adjusted Body Weight Calculation Explained (and Why It Matters)27:26 – Titration to Urine Output is King – Stop Chasing Vitals29:55 – Dennis Rates the Evidence on the PFC Gestalt Scale30:38 – Why Plasma Makes Physiologic Sense (and Whole Blood May Be Next)35:30 – Study Limitations & Provider Bias Discussion37:30 – Can We Implement This in Prolonged Field Care Right Now?38:38 – JTS Burn Care CPG: The Burn Center Contact You Need to Save42:53 – Final Advice: Titrate Aggressively, Phone a Friend Early, Close the GapFor more content, go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.prolongedfieldcare.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Consider supporting us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/ProlongedFieldCareCollective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.lobocoffeeco.com/product-page/prolonged-field-care⁠⁠

We spend much of our lives looking down—at screens, sidewalks, and to-do lists. But what might change if we simply looked up? In this episode of Rooted: A Podcast About Nature & Wellbeing, Susan welcomes psychologist and PhD researcher Braňo Kaleta from the Centre for Positive Health Sciences at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland. Braňo's research explores cloudspotting, stargazing, nature connectedness, and the psychology of awe. While the science of cloudspotting and stargazing is still emerging, our conversation explores what psychology is already teaching us about attention, perspective, and why moments of wonder may play an important role in our wellbeing. Together, we explore how directing our attention toward the sky can invite curiosity, restore our focus, and help us reconnect with something larger than ourselves. We also discuss Attention Restoration Theory, the importance of nature connectedness, why winter skies deserve more appreciation, and simple ways anyone can begin cultivating more awe in everyday life. In this episode, we explore: • What psychologists mean by the emotion of awe—and why it matters for wellbeing • Attention Restoration Theory and how paying attention to nature may help restore our capacity to focus • Why cloudspotting and stargazing invite curiosity, perspective, and wonder • Nature connectedness and why feeling part of nature matters for both personal and planetary wellbeing • Practical ways to experience more awe in everyday life • Why winter skies deserve more appreciation One of Braňo's questions has stayed with Susan long after the conversation ended: "What brings you awe?" Perhaps that's a question worth carrying with you the next time you step outside.

You said no to filler. Now what? In this episode, I break down why some of the most respected facial plastic surgeons moved past hyaluronic acid filler years ago and what they reach for instead: your own living fat. This is not a push toward surgery. It is a shift in how you think about volume loss in menopause, because once you understand what your face actually lost, the entire search changes. Filler is a gel. A spacer. What menopause takes from your mid-face is living tissue. Fat that signals, collagen that holds, cells that keep structure firm from the inside. You cannot replace living tissue with gel and expect it to behave like living tissue. That one sentence explains every disappointing syringe. In this episode: Why filler disappoints on a menopause face, and why the material was the problem all along What fat transfer (autologous fat grafting) actually is, in plain language Why the surgeon's choice matters even if you never book surgery The collagen scaffold that holds your facial fat in place, and what happens when it loosens Why microneedling and strong actives backfire on inflamed, hormonally shifting skin The barrier-first sequence that makes the same tools produce a completely different result The full breakdown lives inside Skin Scholar Society on Substack this week, including what I personally use for volume loss in my own face, the clinical research behind it, and the exact stage-specific sequencing.   Lindsey Holder is a Menopause Skin Specialist and Master Esthetician with 16+ years of hands-on esthetic practice. She helps women in menopause recalibrate their skincare to restore firmness, clarity, and glow without Botox or fillers. Topics covered: menopause volume loss, filler alternatives, fat transfer vs filler, facial fat grafting, mid-face volume loss, sagging jawline menopause, collagen loss after menopause, microneedling at home safety, barrier-first skincare, non-surgical facial lift   Resources    Join the Skin Scholar Society: HERE   Download my Free 7 Day Skincare Guide: HERE Listen to exclusive podcast content + download my FREE esthetician-led skincare app Apple iOS: HERE Google Play: HERE Favorite Skincare Products HERE

What happens when a public health leader refuses to make decisions based on fear? In this episode, Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo joins us to discuss the principles that guided him through one of the most turbulent periods in modern medicine. He reflects on his years at UCLA during the COVID-19 pandemic, why he publicly challenged lockdowns and mandates, and what it was like to work alongside Governor Ron DeSantis to chart a different course in Florida. But this conversation goes far beyond policy. Dr. Ladapo opens up about the childhood trauma that left him living in a near-constant state of fear, the unexpected healing journey that transformed his life just months before the pandemic began, and how that experience changed the way he practices medicine, understands chronic illness, and approaches leadership. We also explore Florida's efforts to investigate contaminants in the food supply, remove fluoride from public water, protect informed consent, and address the environmental factors contributing to today's chronic disease epidemic. Throughout this deeply personal and thought-provoking discussion, Dr. Ladapo reminds us that fear narrows our perspective, while wisdom, courage, and connection can help illuminate a better path forward.   Visit Dr. Joseph Ladapo's website to learn more Join the Nourishing Our Children closed Facebook group Check out our sponsors: New Biology "Use code WISETRADITIONS to get $100 off your membership activation fee, or code WAPF to get your first month free on an enrichment services only membership.

Join us as we discuss research on mental health and wellbeing in the surgical workforce with Drs. Yang and Collins. The episode explores key findings from recent national surveys showing that nearly one in seven surgeons report suicidal ideation in the past year, with depression, anxiety, and PTSD affecting 15–20% of the surgical population. The conversation highlights protective factors—professional fulfillment, resilience, self-valuation, and connection—while distinguishing between healthy resilience and normalized suffering. Dr. Yang and Dr. Collins discuss systemic barriers including time constraints, out-of-pocket mental health costs, and persistent stigma, alongside actionable institutional interventions: protecting dedicated wellbeing time, establishing peer support and psychological first aid programs, ensuring free mental health access, and expanding research to understand what helps surgeons thrive. The episode emphasizes that self-care is essential to patient safety and invites listeners to become advocates, engage with the literature, and help drive culture change within their institutions.

The worst thing that can happen to an elite bencher might be the exact psychological reset needed to save their career. Before Jordan Wong could break all-time world squat records and scale a massive commercial gym facility, he had to navigate a catastrophic, full-tendon pec rupture without health insurance and a surgeon who treated him like a dumb meathead. By ripping up the traditional six-week immobilization protocol on day three and treating his recovery like a full-time corporate job, he discovered a counterintuitive approach to training longevity that most lifelong lifters ignore until it is far too late. INSIDE THIS CONVERSATION The Day-Three Rebellion: Why abandoning traditional medical timelines and ignoring the six-week sling protocol saved his chest from locking up with crippling scar tissue. Auditing the Ego: The brutal reality of time-tracking your daily habits and why looking like an idiot on paper prevents empty training sessions. The Death of the Niche Gym: How shifting away from a hardcore powerlifting aesthetic to embrace gen-pop members drove a 140% explosion in revenue. The 10% Jump Trap: Why male coaches consistently ruin their girlfriends' lifting progress on the bench press by ignoring the strict math of structural percentages. Chasing the Exit: The stark biological warning against migrating to Masters divisions just to chase rankings and satisfy a fading competitive identity. MEET THE GUEST Jordan Wong is a two-time all-time world record squat holder, elite powerlifter, and the founder of Showcase Strength & Fitness in North Port, Florida. After a devastating full-tendon pec tear threatened to permanently sideline his competitive career, he leveraged the injury to completely overhaul his approach to training economics and high-performance longevity. Today, he translates that hard-earned physical resilience into business metrics, scaling his facility's footprint while cultivating a results-driven, community-first culture that bridges the gap between elite lifters and everyday athletes.

Justin Barad is a pediatric orthopedic surgeon, a former Activision game developer, and the founder of Osso VR — one of the few companies in XR that has quietly built a real, profitable business while most of the industry was still searching for one. He joins Charlie and Ted to talk about why virtual reality turned out to be uniquely suited to medical training, and why the way we train surgeons today is still built on a model developed in the 1800s by a brilliant doctor with a serious drug problem.The core argument of the episode is simple: you should not practice on patients. The aviation industry figured this out decades ago — pilots recertify in simulators, not planes. Medicine has been slower to get there, but Osso VR is making the case with data. Nine published studies. Used in 50 countries. Over 300 training modules. And an objective assessment system that, in one study, showed a 230% performance difference between surgeons measured to be competent and surgeons who simply felt ready.Justin and Ted go deep on why objective assessment is the real power of the technology, not the immersion. They talk about why the residency model hasn't fundamentally changed since the 1890s, what it would take to actually shorten the 14-year road to becoming a surgeon, and why the company's most exciting growth right now isn't surgeons at all — it's nurses and allied health professionals, a market that dwarfs surgery by a factor of ten. The episode closes on an honest look back at 2016, when everyone in XR thought they were a year or two away from changing everything, and what Justin learned from being one of the first people to test those assumptions against reality.Brought to you by Zappar and Mattercraft, the leading visual development environment for immersive 3D web experiences.

The Journal of Arthroplasty: The Cut brings you a very special episode on a topic that we rarely discuss – the surgeon. In this episode, our hosts Kim Tucker, MD and Carlos A. Higuera-Rueda, MD, FAAOS speak with our highly accomplished guests Peter A. Gold, MD and Nana O. Sarpong, MD, MBA on the topic of “physician burnout” that’s garnering a fair amount of attention in recent months. So, how do we preserve the surgeon to avoid burnout when in modern times surgeons are no longer just surgeons but clinicians, technicians, administrators and team leaders and often in the same day.  What makes physician burnout a very plausible reality is the requirement to deliver consistently, like any elite performer. To be there for their patients physically, cognitively and emotionally. But the reality is, surgeons are managing even more complex patients and navigating increasing administrative burdens. So, in this podcast, our hosts and guests answer the question “what happens when the demands of the profession out pace the support systems around it?” For more, listen to the full recording here.

Radiation oncologist and director Roshan Sethi: confidence in medicine is mostly performance. The book club is back, and M2s Anna Royer, Ellie Johnson, and Sofia Hueser, and M4 Alex Nigg all crowd around to grill an actual Hollywood director about his debut novel. Somewhere in Roshan Sethi‘s frontal lobe is a cyst, and it’s possibly why he is a reformed gunner, Hollywood writer/director, still radiation oncologist, and now novelist. Sethi is co-creator of Fox’s The Resident, and author of The Simp: A Novel Without a Hero, a new book built out of a viral job ad so horrifying nobody would claim authorship of it. What does it mean that Raj, the novel’s desperate, self-aware sycophant of a protagonist, reads less like a Hollywood assistant and more like a third-year on rotations? Sethi doesn’t dodge the comparison—he wrote most of Raj’s obliging, invisible, gunner-brained misery straight out of his own decade in medicine. Sethi describes himself, pre-Hollywood, as ruthless enough to publish 15 papers in a single year for a career he’s since walked mostly away from–he still practices 9 weeks a year–and he does the math on what staying in medicine actually cost him: when The Resident got greenlit for a sixth season and syndication, he’d already turned the show down to finish residency, a decision one producer later priced at $12 million. Sethi traces a lot of that old ambition back to being closeted through college and medical school; the striving, he says, was never really about medicine, and coming out took most of the edge off it. Also, what happens to a person’s personality over four years of medical school? Sethi’s answer: it gets slowly closeted right along with everything else, trained out of you until invisibility reads as professionalism. He tells the room the worst response to getting pimped isn’t “I don’t know”—it’s saying it apologetically, like you owe someone an explanation for not yet knowing something nobody expects you to know. Speaking of things that require confidence you don’t actually have: Sethi’s next film, The Surgeon, stars Michelle Yeoh as a retired surgeon taken hostage and forced to operate. Dave can’t wait. He even pitched Sethi on his own idea for a movie that’s not at all derivative, and though it will probably star Mark Ruffalo, Dave is available. On representation, Sethi draws a sharp line between his two industries. Medicine has become more female and more Indian, Asian, and Nigerian over time precisely because it runs on an objective, if imperfect, filter that values whoever scores highest on the MCAT. Hollywood, by his account, has no equivalent filter: roughly 90 percent of the highest-grossing films are still directed by men; minorities in the industry get treated as diversity projects rather than talent, and there’s nothing resembling medicine’s blunt, if flawed, meritocracy.

Episode Summary     What if a medical career could be built on profound purpose, paid for in full, and shaped by leadership opportunities no civilian path can match? In this episode of WarDocs, COL Danielle Holt, MD, an Army general surgeon and Associate Dean of Admissions and Recruitment at the Uniformed Services University (USU) School of Medicine, lays out exactly what it takes to become a military physician and why the journey is worth it. Drawing on a career that has carried her from broad-spectrum rural surgery at Fort Wainwright, Alaska, to a forward surgical team in Afghanistan, to serving as consultant surgeon for the White House Medical Team at Walter Reed, she offers a candid, insider's view of the two pathways into uniformed medicine.       The conversation centers on the choice every service-minded pre-med must weigh: the tuition-free USU School of Medicine, the nation's only fully federally funded medical school, versus the Health Professions Scholarship Program (HPSP) that places students at civilian schools. She explains the trade-offs in plain terms — the seven-year versus four-year service obligation, the roughly $90,000 annual salary USU students earn while in school, the one hundred hours of military-unique curriculum, and the rotations across military treatment facilities worldwide. She is equally direct about the military match, where competitive specialties such as general surgery can be more attainable than many applicants realize.    COL Holt demystifies admissions. Academics are a threshold, not the finish line — a 496 MCAT and 3.0 GPA for regular decision, rising to a 500 minimum, with a class mean near 510. Beyond the numbers, she explains what actually earns an interview and an offer: a clear reason to be a physician, a genuine commitment to military service, and the personal attributes of teamwork, adaptability, and being comfortable when things get uncomfortable. She names the self-inflicted mistakes that sink applicants — turning the application in late, stalling on medical clearance and waivers, retaking the MCAT too often, and failing to engage the admissions team. She closes with the human core of the school: the fire team model, longitudinal faculty coaching, the Military Medical Communities program, and a culture where students and faculty take care of one another in a way civilian medicine rarely sees. Her message to any pre-med on the fence is simple — do not underestimate yourself, reach out for mentorship, and remember that the mission is the point. Chapters (00:00-04:54) A Surgeon's Journey: ROTC, Alaska, Afghanistan, and the White House (04:55-10:11) What USUHS Is and Why It Is Different (10:12-19:38) USUHS versus HPSP: Obligations, the Military Match, and How to Choose (19:39-27:39) Timelines, Thresholds, and What Earns an Interview (27:40-43:39) Shadowing, Research, Non-Traditional Applicants, and Common Mistakes (43:40-55:30) The Interview, the Fire Team Culture, and Advice for the Fence-Sitter Chapter Summaries (00:00-04:54) A Surgeon's Journey: ROTC, Alaska, Afghanistan, and the White House Holt traces a twenty-plus-year dual-military-career path from ROTC and HPSP through general surgery training at Tripler Army Medical Center to duty stations spanning rural Alaska and a tertiary academic hospital. She describes deploying to a forward surgical team in eastern Afghanistan in 2012 and learning damage-control surgery, and credits the Army with handing her leadership roles far earlier than a civilian career would.   (04:55-10:11) What USU Is and Why It Is Different She defines the Uniformed Services University as the nation's only fully federally funded, tuition-free medical school, training physicians for the Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, and Public Health Service. Students draw full pay and benefits — roughly $90,000 a year — complete about one hundred hours of military-unique curriculum, and rotate at military treatment facilities across the country and overseas.   (10:12-19:38) USU versus HPSP: Obligations, the Military Match, and How to Choose Holt compares the seven-year USU service obligation with the four-year HPSP commitment and argues the difference is small over a full career. She explains the military match, where critically needed specialties like general surgery can be more attainable, and walks through how applicants apply by service, weigh geography and specialty, and decide which pathway fits their long-term goals.   (19:39-27:39) Timelines, Thresholds, and What Earns an Interview The USU medical-school timeline mirrors other allopathic schools through AMCAS, but military commissioning adds a lengthy medical clearance process, with about half of students needing a waiver. Academics are a threshold — a 496 MCAT and 3.0 GPA for regular decision. Above all, she stresses applying early and finishing requirements, because uncleared applicants get skipped as seats fill.   (27:40-43:39) Shadowing, Research, Non-Traditional Applicants, and Common Mistakes She pushes back on the pressure around clinical shadowing, noting USU requires none and that paid work as a phlebotomist or technician offers equal exposure. Research is likewise not required, given USU's own Capstone program. She details how the school values non-traditional and prior-service applicants, then names the most common self-inflicted mistakes: late applications, stalled clearances, over-testing the MCAT, and downplaying military experience.   (43:40-55:30) The Interview, the Fire Team Culture, and Advice for the Fence-Sitter Holt explains the virtual two-interview format and what makes candidates stand out — genuine commitment, professionalism, and self-knowledge. She describes the fire team model, longitudinal faculty coaching, and the Military Medical Communities program that links applicants, students, and physicians across services. Her closing advice to fence-sitting pre-meds: do not underestimate yourself, seek mentors, and lead with the mission.   Take Home Messages Mindset matters more than a perfect score.: Academic metrics are a threshold, not the finish line. The strongest military physicians are often the applicants who have struggled, adapted, and bounced back — people who value service over a flawless transcript.   The pathway you choose should match the career you want.: The tuition-free, federally funded medical school carries a longer obligation but builds deeper military identity and connections, while the civilian scholarship route offers more independence. Weigh service obligation, specialty goals, and where you see yourself for the long term.   Apply early and finish your requirements.: Rolling admissions reward speed. The single most avoidable mistakes are turning in a late application, stalling on medical clearance and waivers, and waiting too long on the MCAT or letters of recommendation. Uncleared applicants get skipped as seats fill.   Shadowing and research are not gatekeepers.: Required shadowing hours and formal research are not prerequisites. Paid clinical work and life experience count, and the value placed on non-traditional and prior-service applicants means an unconventional background can be a genuine strength.   Camaraderie is the difference, so engage the community.: The fire team model, longitudinal coaching, and military medical community sessions create a culture where students and faculty take care of one another. Do not underestimate yourself — reach out for mentorship and let the mission lead.   Episode Keywords military medicine, USU School of Medicine, Uniformed Services University, Danielle Holt, military doctor, how to become a military physician, HPSP scholarship, military medical school, Army surgeon, premed advice, MCAT, medical school admissions, military match, GME, forward surgical team, Walter Reed, military residency, USUHS, tuition free medical school, military officer physician, WarDocs, military healthcare career, premed shadowing, medical school interview, service obligation Hashtags #MilitaryMedicine, #WarDocs, #USU, #MilitaryMedicalSchool, #HPSP, #FutureMilitaryDoc, #PreMed, #ArmyMedicine Honoring the Legacy and Preserving the History of Military Medicine The WarDocs Mission- WarDocs exists to honor the legacy of Military Medicine, preserve its history, and inspire every generation — across all Services, Corps, and Ranks — to serve with excellence and pride.

Ronald White, guest author, recounts how, in June 1864, Chamberlain led a perilous frontal assault at Petersburg, where he was struck by a minié ball that traveled through his hips, shattering internal blood vessels and his bladder. Surgeons gave him only a 10% chance of survival, and he wrote a heart-wrenching final farewell to Fanny from his hospital bed. Defying medical expectations, he survived the infection-riddled environment and returned to the field to command a brigade during the final pursuit of Lee's army. At Appomattox, General Grant chose him to preside over the formal surrender ceremony of the Confederate infantry. During this event, Chamberlain sparked decades of controversy by ordering a "marching salute" to the defeated Southern soldiers to honor their courage. This act of reconciliation underscored his belief that the war's end required bringing both sides back together as one nation despite the deep scars of conflict.

Placenta previa has an incidence of about 0.4% to 0.5% (or 1 in 200 to 1 in 250 deliveries). Anterior placenta previa poses a unique obstacle in fetal extraction at CS: Is it best to transect (enter) the placenta or to cause a marginal abruption at the placental edge for fetal extraction? In this episode we will review an upcoming “Surgeon's Corner” in the AJOG (July 2026) which provides some tips and tricks for this very issue.1. Verspyck E, Douysset X, Roman H, Marret S, Marpeau L.

In this episode of AAHKS Amplified, our host Michael Blankstein, MD, MSc, FRCSC sat down with Amit Atrey, MD, MSc and Daniel J. Berry, MD to answer the number one question most surgeons hear “how long will my implant last for?” In today’s world, having access to medical information online has prompted more patients to ask their surgeon this. Many patients are concerned that having a knee replacement early will drastically increases their need for a revision in the future. They’ve heard the saying “the later, the better” as it relates to the longevity of knee replacements. In the past, it was common for patients to need a revision and for various reasons such as infection, loosening of the actual implant and developing a facture around the implant. But with modern advancements, many of the factors that call for a revision are now less likely to happen.   Our guests share their experiences with patients who have this concern and how they advise them. Although this is a very common question, the truth is, lots of advancements have been made to knee implants in respect to how long they’ll last. The most effective thing done to extend the life of knee implants in the recent years is improving the quality of the plastic. Surgeons are now seeing 92% of knee implants lasting beyond 15 years just by improving the quality of the plastic. For more information on how our guests advise their patients who are concerned about the longevity of an implant, then tune in for the full recording.

Send us Fan MailA diagnosis can feel like it writes your child's future in ink, but that story is usually wrong. We sit down with Sean Adelman, an orthopedic trauma surgeon and dad to a daughter with Down syndrome, to talk about what he's learned outside the textbooks: people are not their worst day, and kids are not their labels. The big throughline is raising expectations, not as pressure, but as possibility.We get personal about how exposure changes fear into understanding. I share how my family first connected with Down syndrome, then how my son's autism diagnosis forced me to rethink communication, parenting goals, and what “support” really means. Sean adds the perspective of a clinician who sees hard moments for a living, and how that can warp the way professionals and families imagine disability, neurodiversity, and the full spectrum of the human condition.From there we zoom out to the everyday skills that make inclusion real: being a safe landing for your kids, modeling how to handle failure, and choosing kindness in small moments that tell people, “I see you.” We also break down acceptance vs inclusion, the dignity of risk, and why supported employment and inclusive hiring are not charity but smart business that improves morale and reduces turnover. We end with practical next steps, including ways to volunteer with Special Olympics, Best Buddies, or your local ARC, plus resources at raiseexpectations.com.If this conversation shifts your thinking even a little, please subscribe, share it with another parent or educator, and leave a review so more families can find it.

Today, Dr. Stanton Hom sits down with Dr. Patrick Flynn, a chiropractor, immunology geek, and founder of a rapidly growing network of clinics known for life-changing clinical results. In this episode, they unpack the clash between the dominant medical "firefighter" model and a chiropractic "carpenter" paradigm that sees the body as intelligently adaptive, not broken. From trauma, toxins, and thoughts to auto-suggestion, vaccines, fertility, and the gut–brain–immune connection, Dr. Flynn lays out how chiropractic thinking reshapes labs, lifestyle, and long-term outcomes. You'll hear real clinical stories, hard questions about responsibility and prevention, and a powerful call for chiropractors and patients alike to reclaim a vitalistic, principle-driven approach to health and freedom.   Highlights: "You don't see the world the way it is, you see the world the way you are."    "True preventative health care is more of a chiropractic principle."    "A true scientist will always have a comma in his sentence, not a period."   "I'm a chiropractor.
