As I publish this (April 2020) the current Coronavirus pandemic has been a setback for all of us in various degrees, some worse than others. Hence, I would encourage you to listen to this episode and share with someone who could use it. My guest is Dr. Steven M. Southwick, who along with Dennis Charney are the co-authors of Resilience: The Science of Mastering Life's Greatest Challenges.  The book summarizes research into the psychological, biological, and social impact of trauma, and it combines the latest scientific findings in the area of resilience drawing on two decades of work with  trauma survivors  “Resilient individuals resemble a twig with a fresh, green living core. When twisted out of shape, such a twig bends, but it does not break; instead, it springs back and continues growing”  - George Vaillant  Steven completed his psychiatry residency at Yale University School of Medicine. He is the Glenn H. Greenberg Professor of Psychiatry, PTSD and Resilience at Yale University Medical School and Yale Child Study Center. He is also the Medical Director of the Clinical Neuroscience of the Veterans Affairs National Center for PTSD. Steven has worked with a wide range of trauma survivors including combat veterans, civilian children and adults with PTSD, and very high functioning, former prisoners of war. There is a bit of irony in this episode based on the times we are living through in 2020. One, is my warning to those who were having an easy time of life that challenge would come so prepare now. The other is Steven's admonition for social connection. Harder now as we are all social distancing but even more important due to the stress many are going through. Hello Zoom. We also cover these topics on this episode   His research into resilience and PTSD  What led him to write the book  How the brain may work against you in traumatic or challenging circumstances.  Why and how each of us differ in our responses to stress The resilience factors Passive and active "toughening" Trauma and growth  What survivors do to successfully cope with extreme circumstances.  Active toughening and the importance of recovery Social pain and the importance of social networks.  The “bleed” effect of exercise on emotion The power of “squads”  What he asks someone who is suffering when they first come to him for help Much more here so please listen I write about all my shows, visit www.larryweeks.com

Patricia Garfinkel & Myra Sklarew Country Called Aging The Not Old Better Show, Interview Series Welcome to the Not Old Better Show, I'm your host Paul Vogelzang, and this is episode number 273 As part of our author Art of Living series, we're joined today by respected authors, Myra Sklarew and Patricia Garfinkel. Now, if the name, Sklarew, is familiar to you, you're paying attention. One of our guests today, Myra Sklarew, is the mother in law of recent guest Renee Sklarew, also an author and a favorite of The Not Old Better Show audience, from her work, along with co-author Rachel Cooper, on the wonderful book series, 60 Hikes Within 60 Miles, Washington DC, 3rd edition. So, this is a first…daughter in law to mother in law… Also as you in The Not Old Better Show audience, I love talking about books, talking to authors, and from your emails and contact with me, you all love it, too. Today's show is special for reasons other than family, though. Today's show features a unique book that author Renee Sklarew generously shared with me. The book, of course, co written by Renee's mother in law, Myra Skarlew and Patricia Garfinkel is titled, “Invitation to a Country Called Aging.” The book, again “Invitation to a Country Called Aging,” is special, emotional and powerful. Much of that assessment, of course, and obviously, is based on the two authors, Myra Sklarew and Patricia Garfinkel. Patricia Garfinkel is a former Capital Hill speech writer, worked at the National Science Foundation, and also served as co artistic creator, having drawn the book's illustrations with Blake Douglas Young. Equally talented co-author, Myra Sklarew, also has a science background, studying biology at Tufts University, and worked at Yale University Medical School. Myra Sklarew satisfied her ‘left brain,' ‘right brain' functions by then founding the MFA program at American University. Both Patricia Garfinkel and Myra Sklarew are actively creating, writing and helping other artists with poetry, creative writing and artistic pursuits about human resilience. The form and structure of “Invitation to a Country Called Aging,” which has received high literary praise, reminds me of poetry. We don't have too much poetry on this show, but I love it, and poets like Billy Collins are among my favorites. While some may ask, ‘is poetry relevant?' I would say, yes, and while this show isn't truly poetry, the book is more than relevant and important. Today we'll hear from both Patricia Garfinkel and Myra Sklarew, and both will offer a reading from the book, “An Invitation to a Country Called Aging,” but please join me in welcoming to The Not Old Better Show via internet phone, authors Patricia Garfinkel and Myra Sklarew. My thanks again to authors Patricia Garfinkel and Myra Sklarew, and their wonderful book, “Invitation to a Country Called Aging.” You'll find links to where you can find out more about their book, and other details and information. Please join the conversation about “aging,” your experiences and anecdotes by sending to Myra, Patricia or me at info@notold-better.com. Thanks to all of you, my wonderful Not Old Better Show audience. Remember, let's Talk About Better, The Not Old Better Show. Thanks everybody.

Most of us at some point in our lives will be struck by major traumas such as the sudden death of a loved one, a debilitating disease, assault, or a natural disaster. Resilience refers to the ability to 'bounce back' after encountering difficulty. This book provides a guide to building emotional, mental and physical resilience by presenting ten factors to help anyone become more resilient to life's challenges. Specific resilience factors such as facing fear, optimism, and social support are described through the experiences and personal reflections of highly resilient survivors. These survivors also describe real-life methods for practicing and benefiting from the resilience factors.Dr. Steven Southwick MD, Glenn H. Greenberg Professor of Psychiatry, PTSD and Resilience at Yale University Medical School and Yale Child Study Center, Deputy Director of the Clinical Neuroscience Diversion of the Veterans Affairs National Center for PTSD, and Adjunct Professor of Psychiatry, Mount Sinai School of Medicine.

Learning through Art series, Part 1. Dr. Rubin explores how looking at works of art can help improve your ability to diagnose. It started at Yale University Medical School, where they took 1st year med students to the Yale Art Gallery to discuss how to improve diagnosis skills by improving observational ability. If it can help med students it certainly can help chiropractic students!

How many of us see something and then realize there is soooo much more to what we are looking at? Yale University Medical School started several years ago bringing their 1st year Med students to their Art Museum to improve their Visual Diagnostic Abilities (see article here: https://goo.gl/ZcjA6C). Dr Rubin has started that in one of his classes at Life University, based on that article and the book, Visual Thinking Strategies (https://goo.gl/fCntNp). Listen in on the intro to the first class.

Gasnet as an email discussion list has been around for nearly twenty years, and has seen both highs and lows. Yet, it survives as a vibrant online community. In this, our first podcast, we’re going on a trip down memory lane and revisiting some of Gasnet’s more memorable moments. This presentation was recorded live at the Australian Society of Anaesthetists National Scientific Meeting, which was held on the Gold Coat Australia in earlier October 2014. Typical of a live recording we had some audio issues and the sound whilst understandable, is not perfect. What you are about to hear was the first segment in the session the socially enhanced Anaesthetist that I chaired. Other sections covering the blogosphere, public social media services, twitter, gasexchange, and metajournal, will be released a separate podcast episode over coming weeks. Our main presenter today is Associate Professor John Loadsman. John is a senior staff specialist at the Royal Price Alfred Hospital, and conjoined Associate Professor with the University of Sydney. John is one of the editors of the Australian Journal Anaesthesia and Intensive Care and he has been active on the Gasnet Email discussion list since the early 1990s." John Loadsman: "Gasnet was the name given to a new website, and is short for the Global Anaesthesia Server Network, and it was set up by a fellow in Yale called Keith Ruskin with help from a bunch of other people in North America like John Doyle and Tom Engle, who are all still around, in fact I am going to be meeting Tom Engle in New Orleans next week. But as part of that, Keith also set up an email discussion list, which I guess was the very early form of a chat room. It was called the Anaesthesiology discussion list although most people now just refer to it as Gasnet. The younger audience members may not remember or know what an email discussion list is so I’ll just quickly talk about it. Essentially, it is a list server or program running a service somewhere in the world and the list has a list-serve address to which you send emails for distribution. In order to subscribe to the discussion list, or change your settings or unsubscribe or whatever there is an alternate address - but you don’t use that one very often and most of those sorts of things are nowadays handled in a graphic interface on a website. So you know, rarely would you use an email to do join up to these things anymore. More importantly, what they have is a thing called the list address which is an email address that you send a message to and once it gets to the server it is then distributed to everyone who is currently a subscriber to that discussion list. Now, as I said, this Gasnet one was started in about 1993 I think, and at about the same time, the early 1990s there were a number of other Anaesthesia and Critical Care Lists started. One of which was started here in Queensland by Phil Cumpston, associated with Allan Palmer who was looking after the Gasbone server. Phillip’s list server was called Anaesthetisa and Intensive Care. Now my recollections are a little bit thin, but that one didn’t really last all that long I don’t think by virtue of the fact that most of the Australians who Phil and Allan I think thought would be interested in having a local discussion were more interested in being heavily involved in the international list. So, Gasnet got used a lot and the Anaesthesia and Intensive Care list here didn’t, so it sort of just died by attrition. Another one that started about the same time was a Critical Care Medical, or CCML, discussion list, which was started by a fellow called Dave Cripman in the University of Pittsburgh. Now I joined all three of those on the same day, the day I got my 280CMacintosh Laptop. May 29, 1995, so a little bit after Allan I think. Being like I am I very quickly became a rather vocal smartass and regular contributor to those discussion lists. But more importantly, what I found was that I was developing very quickly, a large number of international friendships, which was for me quite remarkable because I had never really stepped foot out of Prince Alfred Hospital. So it was a little eye-opener in many ways so I got lots and lots of virtual pen pals I suppose. Gasnet itself, despite a few early and somewhat recurrent flame wars, that came up more often than not as a result of arguments between Nurse Anaesthetists and Medical Anaesthetists in the United States, and various other things, Gasnet very quickly became a highly cohesive community and in which people found much intellectual, clinical and social value. So it was very active, you know, there would be often hundreds of posts a day going backwards and forwards around the Gasnet community. For me intellectually, really over the last twenty years or so I’ve actually found Gasnet to be more useful than just about any journal I’ve ever read, any textbook I’ve ever read, and clinically as well, more useful than most conferences I’ve ever been to because you can talk to people about problems almost in real time and get responses from them and ideas about how you should do things. Socially for me, it’s just been an absolutely amazing thing. It has just resulted in two visiting professorships, more social than academic I suppose. Either alone or with my family, I’ve stayed around the world with lots of Gasnetters in Toronto, Halifax, London a couple of times, Adelaide, Radovan, Utrex, Connecticut, and quite a few other places. We’ve had lots and lots gatherings of Gasnet members over the years, mostly at meetings, like this. There have also been some quite big ones, one of the first was organised by Mike Bookalil at the World Congress in 1996, and it was a big ‘yum-cha’ event with a large number of people filing up the room. And this still goes on. Next week I’m heading off to New Orleans for the ASA and there are going to be at least two small meetings of Gasnet people at that event. I’ve done some pretty amazing things with some Gasnet people. I went hiking in California and visited the Palamara Observatory with a fellow called John Weistan from Toronto. In 1996 I went to Taronga Zoo and Anaesthetised an Elephant with a fellow called Martin Piercon who was then on Gasnet, but unfortunately was killed recently in a bike accident. This was interesting because I actually met him and his office was fifty yards away form mine. I met him through Gasnet. I’ve been fishing for Salmon and shooting skeets up in the bush in Navasota, visited the Catacombs of Paris with Renee Haganow from Rottadam, been to Niagara Falls with some other people. A few years ago I went to a symphony in New York with Renee Haganow and his wife again, flew a helicopter with John Martin from Cairns, and a bunch of other absolutely wonderful experiences all over the world that I would never have had a chance to be involved if it wasn’t for Gasnet. The thing that makes Gasnet so strong and resilient is the community that surrounds Gasnet. There is a large group of regular contributors many of whom have been subscribed for the twenty or more so years that Gasnet has been around and because of that community and friendship that we have all developed over the years, I think that it has actually survived two near-death experiences in that time. In 2008, Yale I think possibly for what they perceived to be security reasons, essentially forced Keith Rustan to close down the server that was sitting in his office in the Yale University Medical School. It all happened suddenly and none of us knew what would happen and we all went into withdrawal, and people started asking each other questions and eventually Dave Crippen of the Critical Care List resurrected Gasnet on the Critical Care Server which was no longer based in Pittsburg but was to be run out of a server in Missouri, called the Missouri Freenet, which was looked after Leef Terrenson, who was an interesting character, a cyberpunk who is quite well-known. However, he came to like the Gasnet community and liked the way they interacted with each other and thought that they were a good group of people. Not long after Gasnet was resurrected, he had a bit of an argument with Dave Crippen and the Critical Care List was actually ‘chucked off’ the Missouri Freenet server but he liked Gasnet so much he kept the server running without charging Gasnet any money, which was very generous of him. And then, in June 2011, remember when a whole bunch of tornados went through Missouri and wiped out towns like Joplin, also took down the Missouri Freenet server. And again, we all went into withdrawal while we were wondering what was going on as we couldn’t talk to each other anymore. Fortunately for us, Allan, had already set up a potential alternative server in 2010 after one of the Missouri routers had a problem and Leef had to wait a few days for a router from Australia, oddly enough. So Allan had this little email discussion list server set up and ready to go so when the tornados took down the Missouri Freenet Server. Allan got it started up again very quickly. And so that has become Gasnet’s new home, that’s where it still resides, and Allan looks after us all and keeps us very happy chatting to each other. Allan Palmer: Can I just maybe jump in there, you mention several of the other email discussion lists: CCML, has just had its own little crisis that I think it has weathered, and there are several other Anaesthetic Email Discussion Lists. We are starting with email because it is probably the easiest to use. You literally send an email to an address, get an acknowledgement, and from then onwards it delivers it’s contents to you. We’ve both been involved with some of the other lists, and yet we all seem to think of Gasnet as home. Do you just want to expand on that a little bit more? Your thoughts as to why? John Loadsman: I’ll give you a very touching example of why that is. And that, was the response to Michael Bookalil's death in 2003. He had been a very active member of the Gasnet community for many years, as he did in real life he had a bit of a tendency to polarise opinions. He was nevertheless widely appreciated for his insight and intelligence, and after he died, and I had notified the Gasnet community that he had died quite suddenly, the tributes that were received from all over the world were just absolutely extraordinary and I was able to give those to his family which meant a lot to them. But it became really clear to me at that time that Gasnet was really more of an extended family for a lot of us in a way rather than just a discussion list. And its interesting because just before I came in here, a guy who I think is in Brazil, called William Fanstone who Michael Bookalil liked to call ‘Silly Billy’ because he did funny things, and now basically calls himself ‘Silly Billy’ on Gasnet, actually mentioned Michael Bookalil so that was probably twenty minutes before we came into the room, so what’s that, more than eleven years after Michael’s death people still talk about him on Gasnet. So you know, I think that really answers the question." Allan Palmer: Thank you John.
