Tiger Country Resurrected - Episode One: Axillosubclavian Injury Oct 10, 2022

Show notes

We're back! At the helm is Miloš Buhavac of Texas Tech, the infamous Joe DuBose of the University of Texas, and Rishi Kundi from the Shock Trauma Center, who is here mostly because he knows the password to the PodBean account. For our first episode, we talk to none other than Dr. David Feliciano and Dr. Greg Magee about Axillosubclavian Injuries. As it turns out, six hours after completing the recording, I had a supraclavicular GSW and transected subclavian. That's the power of manifesting, folks.

Nurse Practitioners and Advanced Practice Providers in Trauma Care - Barbara Eaton, Katie Lidard & Jen Miller May 31, 2020

Show notes

Dr. DuBose talks with Mss. Eaton, Lidard and Miller about nurse practitioners, their place in trauma care, and how, together with attendings and residents, NPs and advanced practice providers in general can form cohesive and effective teams. The subject is too often neglected, and we as surgeons end up working alongside and depending upon professionals whose journey and expertise we don't really understand. Hopefully, this episode will help rectify that.

Peripheral Vascular Trauma: Assessment & Diagnosis - Dr. Ravi Rajani May 31, 2020

Show notes

DuBose and Dr. Ravi Rajani, Chief of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery at Atlanta's Grady Memorial Hospital and Associate Professor at Emory University, discuss the approach to the patient with extremity injury and how to pick up on indications of vascular injury. Talking points include why there is no such thing as a Doppler pulse, and how we tend to ignore the first word in the name "pulse oximeter." Ravi finishes up by being correctly indignant that we are expected to wash dishes before putting them into a dishwasher. It doesn't make any sense, people.

Esophageal Trauma - Dr. David Feliciano May 21, 2020

Show notes

For a single organ, the esophagus lends a disproportionate degree of complexity to management of the injured patient. Dr. DuBose finds clarity in a discussion with Dr. Feliciano, speaking from an undisclosed second location. Feliciano finishes by revealing that Harrison Ford is one of his favorite actors, which is unsurprising given how much they resemble each other.

Facial Trauma - Drs. Kerry P. Latham & Fan Liang May 21, 2020

Show notes

In this episode, Dr. DuBose talks about facial trauma and how the trauma surgeon can be a good friend and partner to the plastic surgeon taking care of injured patients bearing bony and soft trauma. After a rousing and collegial talk, the three plan to launch a class action lawsuit against Stephen King on behalf of clown-lovers everywhere, and Dr. Liang reveals that she would be entirely lost if she had only a compass and a map.

Pediatric Trauma - Dr. Howard Pryor May 14, 2020

Show notes

Dr. DuBose interviews current Shock Trauma surgical critical care fellow, Navy veteran and pediatric surgeon Dr. Howard Pryor. The relatively unaccomplished Dr. Pryor discusses the basics of trauma in the child, which is both qualitatively and quantitatively different from trauma care in the adult. They conclude with a discussion about Caps Lock, which both mistakenly believe is unnecessary.

Basics of Ocular Trauma - Dr. Bennie Jeng May 07, 2020

Show notes

The eye, as we all know, is a squishy bag filled with magic. I discuss ophthalmic injuries with ocular expert Dr. Bennie Jeng and eventually finds the tables turned when Jeng asks me if cereal is a soup. Fortunately, I am always prepared for this question.

Trauma Nursing & Trauma Surgeons - Paul Thurman, Claudia Handley & Leah DuBose May 06, 2020

Show notes

In this episode, Dr. DuBose talks about the occasionally fraught, always essential relationship between the trauma surgeon and the trauma nurse from both perspectives.

DVT, PE and IVC Filters - Dr. Rishi Kundi May 05, 2020

Show notes

Dr. DuBose interviews your humble servant (me) about DVT, PE and IVC filters in the trauma patient. This is, to nobody's surprise, the best episode yet. We finish by talking about my cats and Kacey Musgraves.

Rectal Injuries - Dr. Carlos Brown May 04, 2020

Show notes

Dr. DuBose explores rectal injuries with Dr. Carlos V. R. Brown of UT-Austin's Dell Seton Medical Center. Not once does the phrase "damn near killed 'em" come up, but they do close out with the revelation that Dr. Brown has eaten only sandwiches for lunch. Like, if it's lunch, he's eating a sandwich or nothing at all.
