John Bowditch Mr. GridLab Science and Technology This is gonna be long. It’s long because I needed to get a few things covered before we launch into John’s interview. If you are bored of me or just want to listen to John, fast forward to 17:30 and start listening.

Talk about inertia, as the saying goes, when I was young, I wanted to be old…I didn’t expect this. It took a full month to get my head back on-line after the trip to the Middle East. But now the brain is working and so I’ll get started by bringing you up to speed. We have a new medical school. It’s very niiiiice. I also want to get some stuff out there about Afghanistan and the implications for medical care. Yes, there are very di...

Yes, its long but not so long that I could have split this easily into 2 episodes. The last episode of my conversation with Bryant Giles, DO. Today we are going to discuss EHRs and ophthalmology. Fun huh? Nope. But if you are considering a career in medicine you really need to think about how much of a headache you want in your daily work. It’s a Don Quixote task at this point because we have been complaining about them for nearl...

Bryant Giles DO , Ophthalmology Episode II Specialty Spotlight Okay, let’s see if I can finish this series out of pure respect for you in the audience and for Bryant. In this episode we discuss the common diagnoses within the specialty and training. We also put a shout out (in?) for Brooke Army Medical Center and its world renowned burn center in good old San Antonio, Texas. We finish up with a discussion of technology and adva...

Bryant Giles DO is a senior Ophthalmology Resident and he never intended to be an ophthalmologist. In this series we are going to discuss how plans change and how life leads us to opportunities that we would never have considered without the serendipity of life. Bryant focuses on his specialty but along the way we discuss life and different universities and how it all comes together. We also discuss Utah which is a place that ever...

In order to properly frame the series coming up with Bryant Giles DO, I felt that it was appropriate to start with a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year wish for all of you. I also got a lot of questions from various people about when they can get vaccinated for SARS CoV2. So I thought it reasonable to clarify where we are right now. It's an episode of various things and I am hopeful that next week, assuming I am not crashed from m...

Dawn Graham PhD is back for the last episode of this series on Psychology and its role in caring for patients. We talk about how students are primed to live in the future and as a result we are not teaching our students to be in “the present”. That has direct implications for our patients and the quality of care that we give them. We discuss the how “the next thing”, pursued from the silo of your own home, without true interpers...

Dawn Graham PhD is a wonderful person. She is one of the most hopeful colleagues that I know and so I enjoy working with her. I am also primed by a background in abnormal psychology so I tend to like psychologists. But in this series we are going to tackle the issues of burnout, resiliency, fear. I think you will enjoy the episodes as much as I enjoyed recording them. Dawn’s Bio at OU https://www.ohio.edu/uc/grahamd Antifragilit...

Well, because the nation has lost its mind, I think it is worthwhile to spend a little time getting you prepared for the discussion with Dawn Graham, PhD. I am concerned about how a contingent of this nation is scaring the grandmas. I am concerned about medical students who are already stressed out wondering if they live in a good nation…that has any kind of future and I am concerned about a nation that is taking some pretty basi...

What about really sick kids? Since we are in the age of the COVID we need to understand that children can have some very serious , albeit thankfully very rare, complications with a SARS CoV2 infection. But that said the American Academy of Pediatrics is strongly behind reopening schools because of all of the other positive impacts on children that schools have on them. Further the issue of dealing with hospitalized children and t...

So here he is, after years of trying to find a pediatrician to opine about the specialty, Neil Copeland, MD; pediatrician. Neil is the first purposeful pediatrician on Rotations. If I sound gleeful it’s because I am. Pediatricians are notoriously hard to get to commit to interviews… John does a really good job of sorting out the process of getting through a pediatric residency but his comments are germane to any medical specialty...

So, we are between series and I anticipate giving you some Neil Copeland MD next week but in the meantime I thought it would be a good time to do a COVID-19 update. So we are going to talk about Flu Shots, Convalescent Plasma, Vitamin D, SARS CoV 2 Vaccine and then a little on suicide and Who Moved my Cheese?

This is the last of the episodes on Trauma Informed Care. Right up front, forgive the audio levels, that is on me, neither Lori or Jennifer like microphones and so it’s gonna be low levels. Had I been thinking I would have dropped my audio but hey, I am a family physician and not a genius audio engineer like one of my friends at OU who recently got married. Congratulations, Josh. I could have used you on this. Anyway, Lori Brown ...

Lori Brown LISW-S, LICDC and Jennifer Schwirian LISW-S are back. This week on Rotations we continue ou r discussion about Trauma Informed Care. ACES is used as a predictive tool for future health issues. It is not a tool to identify mental or behavioral health problems and it was not designed to identify people who are somehow damaged. It is a tool that allows clinicians to help people understand what their long-term health risks m...

I decided to give you a little teaser before I launch into trauma this week. When we speak of trauma for the next 3 weeks on Rotations we are not going to be thinking of the 70 MPH into a bridge abutment with a Lifeflight from the scene to the Level 1 facility for emergency care kind of trauma. We are going to discuss something else. Trauma in the context of behavioral health concerns itself with things that happen in childhood an...

    Ruthie's Table 4

    For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
