With multiple degrees and residency experience from some of the nation's top schools and hospitals, such as Stanford Medical School, Georgetown, and Johns Hopkins, Dr. Erin C. Hall has no shortage of experience and expertise under her belt, which is why she is employed at one of the top trauma centers in the country.  On this week's episode of Trauma Ties, brought to life by the https://www.nvrdc.org/ (Network for Victim Recovery of DC (NVRDC)) and hosted by Bridgette Stumpf and Lindsey Silverberg, Dr. Hall discusses her work as a trauma surgeon at MedStar Washington Hospital Center and the Medical Director for both the Surgical Intensive Care Unit and the Community Violence Intervention Program (CVIP).   During this episode, the three women delve into the lasting realities of physical trauma and the ways in which Dr. Hall, through her work with CVIP, hopes to bridge the gap between acute and immediate medical care and the lasting physical and emotional effects of trauma. Featured GuestName: https://www.medstarhealth.org/doctors/erin-carlyle-hall-md (Dr. Erin C. Hall, MD MPH FACS) What she does: Dr. Hall is a trauma surgeon at MedStar Washington Hospital Center, where she serves as Medical Director for the Surgical Intensive Care Unit and the Medical Director of the hospital's Community Violence Intervention Program. Company: https://www.medstarhealth.org/locations/medstar-washington-hospital-center (MedStar Washington Hospital Center) Episode Highlights [05:15] Striving for change: Dr. Hall discusses the sequelae of the patients she sees in the trauma operation room. In other words, the effects of the patient's trauma aside from just the physical injuries, such as the mental, emotional, and social changes that are also a result of their pain.  [11:10] The seen and unseen: Host Bridgette Stumpf conveys the differences between physical and psychological trauma, which ultimately comes down to the one being visible (physical) and the other being invisible (psychological).  [16:04] Human rights: Dr. Hall believes, unequivocally, that health is a human right. One of the aspects she loves so much about being a trauma surgeon is the lack of judgment in the OR. When a patient comes in, there is no time for wondering who they are outside of a person in need of immediate help.  [20:07] CVIP: As the Medical Director of MedStar Health https://www.medstarhealth.org/blog/investigators-seek-to-ease-the-burden-of-trauma-among-victims-of-violent-injuries (Community Violence Intervention Program), Dr. Hall talks about bridging the gap between inpatient medical treatment and post-treatment care for the six months following patient discharge.  [29:11] The value of understanding: Bridgette details her own personal trauma and experiences with medical professionals when it felt as though they did not care about or understand her worries and concerns.  [47:13] Trauma-informed care: Working at one of the nation's top centers for trauma care, Dr. Hall talks about seeing a shift in care and language. She says there is a real shift toward all encompassing trauma-informed care.  Connect with the Network for Victim Recovery of DC☑️ Follow us on https://twitter.com/NVRDC (Twitter), https://www.facebook.com/NetworkforVictimRecoveryDC/ (Facebook), http://www.instagram.com/nvrdc (Instagram) & https://www.linkedin.com/company/nvrdc/ (LinkedIn). ☑️ Subscribe to TraumaTies on https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/traumaties/id1612126516 (Apple Podcasts), https://open.spotify.com/show/5PbJbBq6IIiDvA2DLPy79R?si=48ea896c4d324fde (Spotify), or https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly90cmF1bWF0aWVzLmNhcHRpdmF0ZS5mbS9yc3NmZWVk (Google Podcasts).

We have a great show for you this Saturday which will provide all of the answers you have come to expect from The Word on Medicine. We will discuss the potential overuse and the potential underuse of health care. Have you seen situations where the treatment may have seemed worse than the disease? Have you heard of situations where a diagnosis may have been missed or a treatment not applied for a somewhat routine problem? Complex issues in today's healthcare, but ones that are so important for us to deal with. Drs. Karl Bilimoria, Stacy O'Connor, Anu Elegbede, Tracy Wang, Anai Kothari and Carrie Peterson anchor this unique program and they are joined by Gabriella Pyptiuk (nurse practitioner) Erin Dorn (Charge Nurse in the Surgical Intensive Care Unit) and one of Dr. Peterson's patients. The Word on Medicine is really thrilled to have Dr. Karl Bilimoria join us for this program - he is the founder of the Surgical Outcomes and Quality Improvement Center at Northwestern. This show is packed with important information for us all so be sure to listen!

What do the musical compositions of Bach, Gershwin, and the Beatles all have in common? Besides being great pieces of music, according to Andrew Schulman, they promote healing in intensive care (ICU) settings. Schulman is a classical guitar player and performer and author of Waking the Spirit: A Musician’s Journey Healing Body, Mind, and Soul (Picador, 2016). Schulman did not receive training as a music therapist and only began working in ICUs after he had a near-death experience at one. Waking the Spirit offers a gripping account of his medical journey and his decision to give back to others. As a result of his collaboration with his former doctors, Schulman became what he terms, a “medical musician.” During the podcast, Schulman briefly describes his journey and reflects upon what he has learned about music from working in the ICU. He also talks about how his work in the ICU has made him a better concert performer. In our conversation, we explore how music heals, what forms of music seem most suited for healing, and the role of musicians and music therapists in ICUs. Andrew Schulman is the resident musician in the Surgical Intensive Care Unit at Mount Sinai Beth Israel hospital in New York City and Berkshire Medical Center in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. He is the founder and artistic director of the Abaca String Band. He is also a solo guitarist and has appeared at Carnegie Hall, the Improv Comedy Club, and the White House.
