How each of us practices medicine is uniquely shaped by our experiences. Christine, a nurse practitioner as well as former EMT & Army medic, speaks with medical professionals from all specializations across the globe about the stories that have influenced how they practice medicine. Paramedics, nurses, doctors, & more recount tales that range from funny to wild to profoundly moving, but no matter the role, culture, or country, all are working to make humanity better any way they can.

The Boston Marathon Bombing: The Doctor
Wednesday Jun 05, 2019
Wednesday Jun 05, 2019
This week we return to the topic of the 2013 Boston Marathon Bombing with Emergency Medicine physician, Dr. Bryan Canterbury. Dr. Canterbury was one of many medical professionals, but only a few ER docs, who ran to the finish line on that sunny April day to treat the hundreds of victims injured after 2 bombs exploded during Boston’s hallowed race. With his typical candor & humility, Dr. Canterbury remarks on the differences between working traumas in the street versus the natural habitat of the ER physician, a well stocked & staffed hospital.
Note: I would like to correct the name mentioned in the podcast. The man who held the femoral artery of Jeff Bauman is name Carlos Arredondo, a Costa Rican-American and Gold Star Father. Carlos’ son, Marine LCpl Alexander Arredondo, was KIA in Iraq on 25 August 2004. Since then Carlos has worked as a peace activist as well as an advocate for Veteran mental health. He was at the 2013 Boston Marathon finish line to cheer on runners from National Guard Tough Ruck, one of whom was running for his son. I encourage you to find out more about Carlos Arrendondo

Sunday Nov 11, 2018
Sunday Nov 11, 2018
Death is an inevitable part of medicine and few come face to face with it as often or as closely as emergency medicine providers. Christine is joined by Emergency Room nurse, Beth, as they discuss the unique, & sometimes oddly normal ways in which people have passed away. Nurses, paramedics, EMTs, and doctors strive to make death as dignified as possible, but peculiar situations seem to be the way of life.

Men Are Coming!
Thursday Oct 18, 2018
Thursday Oct 18, 2018
Bonus Episode! Haley from the episode “Nurse Jane” is back with a few more stories about medicine across the world. She shares the experience of working an out of hospital cardiac arrest while working as a teacher in Saudi Arabia on a student at an all women’s campus. Cardiac arrests outside the emergency department are much more chaotic, but even more so when you don’t have the proper equipment, the doctor doesn’t know CPR, and “Men are coming!”
Even when nothing goes right, a nurse will do their best for the patient.
