The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, was declared a pandemic this week by the World Health Organization. Christine breaks down the science behind COVID-19 with Tina from Good Nurse Bad Nurse along with possible therapies, and how we can all help to reduce transmission (hint TP stashing isn’t at the top of the list!). Everything discussed was sourced from the CDC, WHO, and research articles accessed from The Lancet’s COVID-19 Resource Centre

People who are drawn to healthcare tend to be amazingly compassionate, resilient, and hardworking, but the path each of us takes to our goals can vary just as much as the types of careers that exist in medicine. 
Registered Nurse, Robin, candidly shares how her prior jobs as an exotic dancer & stripper taught her valuable skills that translate unbelievably well to MedSurg nursing and the ICU. After all, dealing with drunk men at a strip club is not much different than handling a combative GSW patient and their rowdy family members; only the shoes are a bit more comfortable.

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

It’s our first on-location recording! This week we venture out to Inova Loudoun Hospital in Leesburg, Virginia to hear what happens when critical care medicine meets classical musicianship. Clinical Nurse Specialist, Amanda, & Music Therapist, Ray, took time out of their busy day to explain their original research into how music therapy helps improve pain, anxiety, and so much more for some of the sickest patients in their hospital.
Many thanks to Renee’ Brohard, Amanda Golino, MSN, RN, CCRN, CCNS, RN-BC, and Raymond Leone, MMT, MT-BC of Inova Loudoun www.inova.org/ilh
