High-Fidelity Conversations

[Ep10] Do you work in EMS or another kind of healthcare space where you primarily see adult patients? Maybe pediatric patients aren't your specialty, but there's still a chance you might encounter one when you clock-in for your shift? Let's chat about what to keep in mind when taking care of pediatric patients who may have RSV - and more - on this episode of High-Fidelity Conversations!

Laura Holdren, MSN, RN is an EMS Coordinator with the Nationwide Children's Hospital EMS Program, here in Columbus, Ohio. She also functions as a nurse educator/EMS CE instructor.

For this episode, we talk with Laura about practical tips for managing pediatric patients with suspected RSV. This particular episode is most appropriate for healthcare providers who are used to taking care of adults, but still see an occasional pediatric patient too. If that sounds like you, check out this conversation to learn more about:

• Is there a season for RSV?
• What are some common signs and symptoms for RSV?

[Ep9] Do you call your physician by their first name? Or do you keep things traditional by always calling your provider "doctor" when visiting their office? Maybe you're a physician who is burnt out on people calling you by your first name while you're on-the-job? Listen in on this conversation with Dr. Dawn Prall as we talk about the advantages and disadvantages of going casual with professional titles - and more - on this episode of High-Fidelity Conversations!

Dawn Prall, M.D., FACEP, is the Medical Director for the Center for Innovative Learning (aka the Mount Carmel Sim Lab), here in Columbus, Ohio. She also has extensive experience as an acute care physician.

For this episode, we talk with her about an online article from Medscape dealing with the pros and cons of ditching a formal title for a physician in a clinical setting. Dr. Prall is notorious in the Sim Lab for wanting her colleagues to call her "Dawn," but listen in on this episode to see if she holds the same thoughts for how people should address her in a clinical environment. Check out this conversation to learn more about:

• What are some of the consequences of addressing a physician by their first name?
• Does gender play a factor in "untitling" a physician?
• What can you do, as a physician, to help promote a friendly interaction with patients while maintaining professional boundaries?
• What can you do, as the patient, to avoid offending your physician by being too casual?
• And more!

[Ep21] Have you ever heard of a Mobile Stroke Unit (MSU)? When time is critical for helping restore a patient back to their normal - like during a suspected stroke - a MSU can cut down on the time needed to not only identify the stroke, but also treat it.

Some of the topics we'll cover are:

• What's the local history of the MSTU?
• Who all staffs a vehicle like this?
• How is the MSTU dispatched?
• What are the treatment options once the MSTU arrives?
• What were some of the challenges of starting a mobile stroke unit?
• What are some of the current trends with wakeup strokes?
• Are there any future changes coming to the current MSTU in Columbus?
• And more!
