I adopted by son Christopher in 1992 and I can't begin to tell you how wonderful it's been being an adoptive mom. I was able to manage the extensive costs but there are countless potential parents who simply can't afford adoption. We'll tell you about wonderful nonprofit called Help us Adopt. First HelpUsAdopt.org, founded in 2007, is a national 501(c)(3) adoption grant program. HelpUsAdopt.org was founded by Becky and Kipp Fawcett as a response to their own personal adoption experience. I speak to Rebecca Snyder Fawcett about the organization that's made adoption more feasible for all families. https://www.helpusadopt.org/ You see it every morning on the news. the overnight shooting.

Is this book available on Kindle? Yes. Is this book avail on audible so you may listen to it as opposed to reading it? Yes. (Published by Mayo Clinic Press).

The utilization of point-of-care ultrasound and other non-invasive cardiac output monitoring technologies varies because of knowledge, resource availability and cultural practices. In this Clinical Challenge in Surgery episode from the Surgical Critical Care team at Behind the Knife, we provide a brief history of the use of cardiac-output monitoring in the ICU, introduce a few clinical scenarios in the context of point of care ultra-sound and other less-invasive cardiac-output monitoring technologies. Learning Objectives: In this episode, we review the historical uses of central venous pressure monitoring, pulmonary-artery catheters and the more frequently utilized point-of-care-ultrasound (or POCUS) in managing complex ICU patients. We review the outcomes behind these technologies, describe the views and utility of POCUS, and introduce less-invasive or completely non-invasive ways to measure cardiac-output monitoring. Hosts: Brittany Bankhead, MD, MS (@BBankheadMD) is an Assistant Professor of Surgery at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. Ryan Dumas, MD, FACS (@PMH_Trauma_RPD) is an Assistant Professor of Surgery at the University of Southwestern Medical Center and Parkland Memorial Hospital.

In this episode you will hear how Dr. King walked into a Boston Army Recruiting Office and said “Hey, I'm a Doctor and I want to join the Army”, a very uncommon scenario in the recruiting world! He describes what drew him to a career in Trauma and Critical Care and how he was part of the initial discussions of developing an Army Trauma Training platform at Ryder Trauma Center in Miami. He shares stories from his initial deployments on a Forward Surgical Team and working in a Combat Support Hospital in Iraq and how those experiences helped prepare him to care for casualties from the Boston Marathon bombing in April 2013 (after finishing the Marathon himself!). He shares some important lessons learned from that episode which he helped translate into common practice. COL King has supported the US Army Joint Special Operations Command for more than 8 years and describes a remarkable case of a critically wounded Army Ranger that required surgical repair of bleeding within the chest cavity (trauma thoracotomy) during a cardiac arrest in the most austere of conditions. This intervention saved the Soldier's life and allowed him to recover and later attend medical school. Dr. King describes his research interests in stopping traumatic bleeding using novel technologies such as self-expanding foams and expanding the accessibility and familiarity with tourniquets within the EMS and civilian population. He shares many insights and lessons learned over a distinguished career and provides some valuable advice for all listeners. You don't want to miss this episode!

“There is this kind of tension between what you are on the inside and what you are on the outside professionally, and whether you have to make a choice between two different things or (if) you can blend it together. And I think that leads to a lot of satisfaction when people get it right. And I think it leads to a sort of lifelong (feeling of) ‘I wish I had done this' or ‘I wish I could go back and do that' if you ignore the other part of yourself.” — David Hindin By trade, David Hindin is a surgeon based in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Scott Weingart is arguably one of the most influential and polarizing physicians on the planet. He is not one to mince words and often comes across as definitive in how he describes his practice of medicine. What people don't realize, he says, is that his clinical care is often guided by fear, not bravado, ego, or machismo. In this episode, Scott breaks down his five fears when it comes to medical practice and thinks that those who seek to follow his advice should take these fears into account before acting. Listen on: iTunes Spotify Stitcher Guest Bio: Scott Weingart is an emergency physician who went on to complete fellowships in Trauma, Surgical Critical Care, and ECMO at the Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore. He is currently chief of the Division of Emergency Critical Care at Stony Brook Hospital and a tenured professor of emergency medicine at Stony Brook Medicine. He is best known for his podcast on Resuscitation and ED Critical Care called the EMCrit Podcast; it currently is downloaded > 400,000 times per month. Scott is the author of multiple books including Emergency Medicine Decision Making and the Resuscitation Crisis Manual. This episode is in support of the I AM ALS. I AM ALS was founded by Brian Wallach and his wife Sandra shortly after his diagnosis at the age of 37. He was given 6 months to live, and now 4 years later he is leading a revolution to find a cure. People often refer to ALS as rare, which is not really so. The lifetime risk is around 1 in 300. Since Lou Gehrig was diagnosed 80 years ago, available treatments have been shown to extend life a mere 3 months. I AM ALS supports research, legislation to fast track therapies, and provides critical resources to patients and caregivers. ALS is relentless, and so are they. The question is no longer if we'll find a cure for ALS, but when. This is an underfunded disease and every little bit makes a difference. We will match donations to I AM ALS up to $5000 -- get started here on our Stimulus Donation Page. And for your daily dose of positivity, follow Brian on Twitter. We discuss: The distinction between carrying fear and being afraid [06:50]; Delayed sequence intubation (DSI) as an example for how healthy fear can keep things safe in the emergency department [09:30]; The importance of embracing the idea that sick patients don't take a joke [13:40]; Scott's fear number one: lawyers [15:15]; A common fear that Scott does not personally experience: being an imposter [21:00]; Fear of Monday morning quarterbacking [28:10]; Fear of procedural complications [33:15]; How Scott Weingart is not a jerk. He's an acquired taste. [41:35]; Scott's final fear: a patient dying on his watch [46:55]; And more.

Sedation is commonly used in the intensive care unit (ICU) to make patients who require mechanical ventilation more comfortable, and less anxious. But sedation can have serious side effects, including delirium, that can endanger a patient’s life. Dr. Richard Barton, Director of Surgical Critical Care at University of Utah Health, and Nick Lonardo, Pharmacy Clinical Coordinator, describe the hazards and how to avoid them. The research behind their recommendations was published in the American Journal of Respiratory Critical Care Medicine.

"This used to be merely intuition...even a minute or two at low MAPs may be too much and certainly waiting 20 minutes for pharmacy to send up a drip is probably way too long...and your kidneys may actually be getting damaged in that short period of time." - Scott Weingart, MD Who is Scott Weingart, MD? Courtesy of Scott Weingart, MD Scott D. Weingart, MD FCCM FUCEM DipHTFU Scott is an ED Intensivist from New York. He did fellowships in Trauma, Surgical Critical Care, and ECMO. He is currently an attending in and chief of the Division of Emergency Critical Care at Stony Brook Hospital. He is a clinical associate professor of emergency medicine at Stony Brook Medicine and an adjunct associate professor at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. He is best known for talking to himself about Resuscitation and Critical Care on a podcast called EMCrit, which has been downloaded > 19 million times. EMCrit Twitter Team @emcrit What is a MAP? (Mean Arterial Pressure) Average pressure in a patient’s arteries during one cardiac cycle Really good number to measure organ perfusion Systolic BP is a useless measurement in super hypotensive patients Calculations: MAP = CO x SVR MAP = SBP + 2(DBP)/3 Low MAPs should be treated as an Emergency = Requires Good Nursing!! What is a minimal MAP for adequate perfusion? No one knows!! Minimal MAPs (what we think and have made up) to adequately perfuse 3 main organs. Use this as a loose guideline. May have to individualize for each patient. Brain MAP 60-65 but can go lower for a bit of time before damage MAP 40 starts to have altered mental status Heart MAP 60-65 Kidney MAP 65 super sensitive to low MAPs May not be able to measure output in ED if kidneys were hit hard and due to shunting In the ED, we like MAP 65... because the organs will have minimal perfusion and we often don't know what the medical history is or have had 24 hours of patient observation. Normal MAP + Low SBP + Normal DBP = Okay Organs are being perfused Low MAP + Normal SBP + Low DBP (Ex: 100/20) = Badness Can be in cardiac arrest if you don't pay attention and do something ASAP Low MAP, How long is too long? New Anesthesia literature that shows a minute or two may be too much. Concern for kidney injury Hearts may dislike low MAP esp. Pts with cardiac history.

According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, more than 12.5 million Americans are severely overweight. Obesity can cause many health problems and put you at a higher risk for diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, sleep apnea and more.Bariatric Surgery is a life changing event that requires a team approach for long term success. The team at The St. Luke's Cornwall Hospital Institute for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery works with each individual patient to ensure that the proper pre and post procedure support is provided. Here to speak with us today about the benefits bariatric surgery can offer the severely obese is Dr. Wayne Weiss, he is a board certified surgeon specializing in General Surgery, Surgical Critical Care and Bariatric Surgery procedures at St. Luke's Cornwall Hospital.
In this Careercast, Dr. Stefan Leichtle talks with Dr. Jay Menaker from the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center about how emergency medicine physicians can become board-certified in surgical critical care, and why they should consider pursuing this unique career.
Session 21 General Surgery is gaining in popularity, which shows in its competitiveness for residency. You need to be on the top of your game to match. And similar to Internal Medicine, it is the gateway to a lot of subspecialties. As we're presenting the data here, remember that this is not just for those looking to be general surgeons their whole life but those who are looking into other subspecialties which we will be featuring here on the podcast in the future such as Surgical Oncology, Colorectal Surgery, Surgical Critical Care, Minimally Invasive Surgery, etc. There are certainly a lot of things you can go on and do after your general surgery residency. The 2017 NRMP Main Match Data is now available since the match happens in March of every year. [01:45] Total Number of Programs and Applicants For General Surgery, there are a lot of physicians available with 267 programs around. There are 236 Psychiatry residencies and 204 Pediatric residencies so that gives you an idea that there are more general surgeons than pediatrics. There are 241 OB/GYN residencies so there are a lot of surgical residencies. General Surgery has two categorical residency programs. A categorical program is one where you apply to the program from medical school and that's where you're going to do your five years of General Surgery residency. Then there are prelim surgery positions and there are more prelim surgery positions than there are categorical. Somebody doing a surgical prelim can do it because they're going into a surgical subspecialty straight out of medical school and they're required to do their PGY-1 year separate from their categorical residency. In this episode, I will only tackle the full five-year categorical surgery programs consisting with 267 programs for categorical surgery. Out of 267 programs, there are 1,281 spots. There are almost 5 spots at each program. Interestingly, there are not a ton of U.S. Seniors applying for these categorical programs. And out of these spots, there were only 1,383 that applied and 2,388 total applicants. For the purposes of this data, U.S. Seniors equals Seniors at an allopathic (MD) medical school. Hence, this does not include graduates of an MD medical school. These are only students who are still in school. Those who took some time off to do some research or didn't match the first time are not included in the U.S. Seniors data. There were 3 unfilled programs which means a lot of of people are matching with 99.6% of the spots filled. I want to briefly mention that if you don't match in a categorical spot, it's typically pretty easy to do a Supplemental Offer and Acceptance Program (SOAP), which used to be called Scramble. There are only 61.7% of those spots were filled. So it's very easy to do a SOAP into a program if you don't match in a surgical program. But assuming your stats are decent and you're a good person, you're probably going to match because it's not overly competitive for U.S. Seniors which is interesting. [06:55] Types of Applicants Table 2 of the 2017 NRMP Match Data breaks down the types of applicants for each specialty. For categorical surgery, there were 1,281 positions and there were 1,276 were filled. So there were 5 empty spots and 3 programs that went unfilled. Out of the 1,276 filled positions, 1,005 were U.S. Seniors while 74 were U.S. Grads (students that either didn't match the first time or didn't apply because they were doing research or something else. Total number of U.S. Seniors (allopathic MD students) was 1,079 out of the 1,276 positions. The rest of it was filled by 64 osteopathic students and 62 U.S. International medical graduates. Something that is highly debated in the premed world is whether to go to a U.S. DO school or an international MD school, specifically Caribbean schools. If General Surgery is something you're interested in, there were 64 students that matched from U.S. osteopathic schools and 62 from international medical schools. Moving along, there were 71 Non-U.S. International medical graduates that matched into General Surgery. For me, this is a peculiar number and is not something I would have thought to see. It just goes to show that there is still a high demand for General Surgery spots so they're taking as many possible and the most qualified and a lot of those happen to be non-U.S. citizen international medical graduates. [09:47] Trends in Positions Offered and U.S Seniors (2013-2017) Table 3 of the 2017 NRMP Match Data illustrates the total number of physicians offered from 2013 to 2017. This is the fourth time I've looked at the Match Data and the numbers always seem to very consistent. Surgery is no different at 4.4 to 4.5 every year, going at a a good, steady pace and hopefully it continues that way. Table 7 shows the number of U.S. Seniors being accepted compared to all applicants over the course of the last five years. As the number of seats in each program has increased all the way up to 1,281 for 2017, the U.S. Seniors are increasing as well. This is a good thing in that more U.S. allopathic students are going into General Surgery to fill this increasing need for spots. It's not necessarily a good thing for DO students or U.S. International medical grads because the demand is rising among U.S. Seniors as there are more spots. Table 8 shows the actual percentage of U.S. Seniors for each of the programs. There were 80.8% of U.S. Seniors in 2013 and it dropped down to 76.5% in 2014, back up to 80% in 2015, back down to 76.4% in 2016, and then up again at 78.5% in 2017. This suggests that maybe the demand is not as high also looking at the data in table 7. Table 9 shows the percentage of applicants that matched into a given field compared to the rest as a whole. 4.6% of all applicants that matched in all fields matched into Surgery (categorical). So it's up there. Internal Medicine is huge at 25.6%, Family Medicine at 11.6%, Emergency Medicine at 7.4%. This gives you an idea of where Surgery lies. Interestingly, Psychiatry (categorical) is at 5.4% which is more than Surgery and Pediatrics at 9.7%. [13:25] Osteopathic Students, Unmatched U.S. Seniors, Independent Applicants, and SOAP Table 11 looks specifically at Osteopathic students who have matched into PGY-1 spots as a whole. This is similar to the last table but this one looks specifically at osteopathic students. As expected, General Surgery has a lot less total number of osteopathic students percentage-wise. Looking at all specialties adding up to 100%, Surgery only made up 2.2% of all osteopathic students that matched into an allopathic General Surgery (categorical) program. Students may think it's harder to go to an MD General Surgery residency as a DO student and if this is what they want to do, then they should probably only apply to MD programs. My different perspective on this is that if osteopathic schools are doing a good job at recruiting students that meet this "osteopathic" philosophy and are looking at recruiting and attracting more students that are interested in Primary Care, then there should obviously be a lot less that are matching into a surgical program. Figure 6 of the 2017 NRMP Match Data shows the percentages of Unmatched U.S. Seniors and Independent Applicants (outside of the U.S. Seniors which, for these purposes, are considered U.S. allopathic students who are still in school). General Surgery had one of the higher unmatched rate at 20.7%, which is 9th on the list. Majority of those are unmatched, independent applicants (non allopathic students, non MD Seniors). The unmatched U.S. Seniors was only 9.6%. This is still high compared to a lot of the other specialties. It seems it's getting more and more competitive and this is a trend that I've heard from speaking to others that General Surgery is becoming more and more competitive as there are more options available for these subspecialties and fellowships afterwards. Table 18 breaks down the SOAP process and looking into Surgery (categorical), there were 3 programs that needed to fill 5 spots and all 3 programs filled those 5 spots through the SOAP process. Looking at the National Matching Service Data for 2016 for the different program types, there were 49 programs for General Surgery for osteopathic students and 155 positions. 149 positions were filled and 6 went unfilled. The data given is not as robust at the NRMP so I'm uncertain if there were a lot more applicants than these 155 spots and a lot went unmatched or if there weren't just that many applicants. [17:43] 2016 Charting the Outcomes - NRMP Based on the 2016 Charting the Outcomes for the NRMP, Chart 3 shows the match rates and there was an 83% match rate for U.S. Allopathic Seniors for General Surgery. Looking at other specialties, Dermatology at 77%, Neurosurgery at 76%, Orthopedics at 75%, Plastic Surgery at 77%, and Vascular Surgery at 71%. So General Surgery is right there with all of the other surgery subspecialties. Chart 4 shows the Median Number of Contiguous Ranks of U.S. Allopathic Seniors. For students that matched and those who didn't, the chart shows you how many programs they ranked on their rank list when they submitted. Those that matched ranked 13 as a median number while those that did not match ranked 5. If you are picky about where you go or if you didn't get an opportunity to apply or to interview at a lot of spots, then you have a lot less chance of matching. Chart 12 shows the percentage of U.S. Allopathic Seniors who are members of AOA (the Honor Society for medical students showing good academic success in medical school). For those that matched only 17% of the U.S. allopathic Seniors were AOA whereas 52% for Plastic Surgery and 53% for Dermatology. So General Surgery is in the lower end for a surgical specialty. Looking at the Summary Statistics (Table GS-1) for General Surgery, those that matched have a decent Step-1 Score at 235 and those that did not match at 218, which shows a big difference in Step scores. This is one of those things where you need to be very realistic with your chances of matching. If you don't match, why? Could it be that because your Step score is not high enough? The mean Step 2 score is 247 for those that matched and 231 for those that did not. [21:20] Burnout, Happiness, and Compensation The Medscape Lifestyle Report 2017 and Medscape Physician Compensation Report 2017 are two separate reports that Medscape releases every year. For the Lifestyle Report, more than 14,000 physicians over 30 specialties have responded in the survey. The numbers are not necessarily the best data-wise because it's a survey so just take this with a grain of salt. Who is the most burned out? General Surgery is lower on the list at 49% which is more than halfway down the list. This is good. But looking at how severe is the burnout, surgery is higher up on the list at 4.3 from a scale of 0-4.5. Which physicians are happiest at work and outside of work? General Surgery is higher up on the list with 35% happiness at work and 69% happiness outside of work. So it's on the higher end of the scale. Moving on to the Medscape Physician Compensation Report 2017, General Surgery is higher up on the list with an average annual salary of $352,000. Above it is Anesthesiology and below it is Ophthalmology. So it's a decent living as a general surgeon. Although if you think about the lifestyle and everything else, it's harder. So you're compensated for that harder lifestyle. Looking at the rate of increase year over year,General Surgery had a 9% increase which is pretty decent. The number of physicians who feel fairly compensated for General Surgery is lower at only 48%. Whether a specialist would choose medicine again, General Surgery is right in the middle at 77%. While only 82% said they would choose the same specialty, which is a little in the lower half of all the specialties there. [24:50] Final Thoughts If you're not sure what you're interested in yet, go through these numbers. It's eye-opening to see what is going on in the world when it comes to matching and physicians that are happy and making money and those that aren't.

A great listen!
Medical malpractice claims and other litigation have unfortunately become a common occurrence in all fields of surgery. Although each case has unique and specific aspects, there are common patterns, themes, and risk factors that all practicing physicians should be aware of in order to minimize or even completely avoid these situations. In addition, there is a great deal of misunderstanding about how published guidelines such as the EAST Practice Managemenet Guidelines may be used for or against the physician in establishing the standard of care and any violoations of that standard. We discuss these issues with Dr. Carlo Reyes, a board certified Emergency Medicine physician, health care attorney, and nationally recognized expert in medical malpractice, and Dr. Chet Morrison, a Trauma and Surgical Critical Care attending with a longstanding interest in this area.
