Our Medical Director, Dr Doyle, talks about a day in the life here at StatMD: "Do the words “Is there a doctor on board” fill you with anxiety? For Dr. Thomas Doyle, responding to in flight medical events is just another day at the office. As the medical director for STAT-MD, him and his team provide on the ground consultation for passengers experiencing medical events at 35,000 feet. In this episode we talk about what events are most common, what equipment is on board, what are the rules/regulations around providing medical assistance, and what ground consultation services like STAT-MD can help offer to you so you’re never alone if you hear that phrase “Is there a doctor on board?”

The National Board of Physicians and Surgeons was established in 2015 and certifies allopathic and osteopathic specialists. A rapidly growing list of hospitals and networks accept this pathway as an alternative to the traditional ABMS pathway. There are too many reasons to list why but if you have been thru the board certification or re-certification process you know there is room to improve....this is one potential way!

Respecting patients’ time and delivering care as efficiently as possible is critical. Check out what AOA member Mile Brujic, O.D., has to say about his patient-first approach: https://ow.ly/IVlM50SJ5Ae

It’s no secret that hospital-based medical groups, particularly anesthesia and radiology groups, are experiencing significant trouble recruiting and retaining their professional staff due to increasing compensation demands combined with declining reimbursement. #agreement #anesthesia #anesthesiology #contract #doctorfacility #financialgroup #hospitalmedical #negotiatenegotiations #pathology #physician #radiology #stipend #strategy #support #tactics

𝐌𝐑𝐈 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞! Unless we make it so... Let me tell you how. During last week we had the MRI safety week. This was a worldwide endeavour with input from professionals around the world, including myself. From the hundreds of hours of webinars, lectures and presentations, I saw radiographers, physicians, Professors, enthusiasts and many more, getting involved and sharing their thoughts and solutions to improve the panorama of MRI safety around the world. 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈 𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐧'𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥 - Webinars and awareness being raised by universities! Students being called to the stage, and universities officially engaging in safety talks and events. I might be very wrong and will apologise if so, but: 𝑤ℎ𝑦 𝑑𝑜 𝑤𝑒 𝑘𝑒𝑒𝑝 𝑝𝑢𝑡𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑎 𝑏𝑎𝑛𝑑-𝑎𝑖𝑑 𝑖𝑛 𝑎𝑛 𝑜𝑝𝑒𝑛, 𝑏𝑙𝑜𝑜𝑑-𝑔𝑢𝑠ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔, 𝑖𝑛𝑓𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝑤𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑑? 𝑤ℎ𝑦 𝑑𝑜 𝑤𝑒 𝑘𝑒𝑒𝑝 𝑡𝑟𝑦𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡𝑜 𝑝𝑢𝑡 𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒𝑠 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑔𝑙𝑎𝑠𝑠𝑒𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑤𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑟? 𝑤ℎ𝑦 𝑑𝑜 𝑤𝑒 𝑘𝑒𝑒𝑝 𝑡𝑟𝑦𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡𝑜 𝑐𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑦𝑚𝑝𝑡𝑜𝑚𝑠 𝑖𝑛𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑎𝑑 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑢𝑎𝑙 𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑛𝑒𝑠𝑠? I love all the efforts during the MRI safety week, but there's no point to start building the house from the top down... Do you know why? 10 out of 10, it will crumble! 🏚 I was told that some universities have 4h of MRI safety within their radiology degree. 𝟒𝐡!! 𝟒 𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐒! 𝟒 𝐇.𝐎.𝐔.𝐑.𝐒.!!  in the entirety of the degree! How can we try to build a safety culture in the MRI world when the future professionals coming to the market have 4 hours of training? I can't even read my own MRI novel "𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐊𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫" in 4 hours, let alone learn MRI safety. I am aware that this is not the norm in ALL universities and that some around the world have quite a comprehensive syllabus with MRI safety subjects, and to those, kudus! However, where were they on the MRI safety week? Let me know if you or your university did something on the MRI safety week. If we want to build a safe culture, we can't forget the foundations of said culture. Let's build the house from the ground up... The future is today! 🚀

The comparisons between anaesthetists and unicorns: 1. Unseen heroes: Anaesthetists play a crucial role in surgeries but often work behind the scenes. Just like unicorns in mythology we are portrayed as powerful but elusive creatures. 2. Specialised knowledge: Anaesthetists possess highly specialized medical knowledge. Unicorns in folklore are often associated with unique magical properties that only they possess. Think of the patient with 'no veins' who return from the OR with an orange venflon sited! 3. Guardians: Anaesthetists guard access to the OR. We are the patients' advocates when they are unconscious during medical procedures. Isn' t that similar to unicorns being portrayed as guardians of magical realms. Anything else? I have got more... What about your chosen specialty? Disclaimer: I don' t own a pet! Unicorns on my theatre hat the closest you will get to a pet pic!
