  • Ethical Issues in Sports Medicine

    Ethical Issues in Sports Medicine
    May 16 2024
    On a regular basis in sports medicine, we are faced with ethical dilemmas. Whether or not we should allow kids to play certain sports based on injury risk, performance enhancement and equipment advances, treatment interventions, return to play decisions, and conflicts of interest to name a few. These issues may cause disagreements between the athlete and the physician or even among physicians as to how to best deal with various situations. During my pediatrics residency training, I had the privilege of learning from an ethicist who not only provided me with a process to improve my critical thinking and how to approach things from multiple views, but also was truly influential in shaping me into the physician I am today. Today on the podcast I have a pediatric physician who is considered a true expert on ethics. I hope you finish listening today with a new appreciation for ethics in medicine. Connect with The Host!

Research suggests that athletes using steroids may have higher long-term mortality rates. 26:28 Meeting Alec Lerner, a former Badger football player and med student, sparked a discussion on sports ethics. It led to an article that addressed the ethical issues surrounding the risks of football, particularly related to concussion and long-term brain damage. The discussion was prompted by the AAP paper in 2015, highlighting the high injury and concussion rates in football and the long-term effects on the brain. The article emphasized the need for informed consent from both young athletes and their parents regarding the risks involved in playing football. 29:32 Concerns about kids in sports, consent trivialized.

  • Athletic Performance and Sleep

    Athletic Performance and Sleep
    Apr 27 2024
    Today on the Pediatric Sports Medicine Podcast we are going to tackle a topic that I would predict that all of us do not get enough of….and that’s sleep. Sleep is a necessity for all of us but it can have a critical role in the life of an athlete in terms of injury and performance. We are going tackle sleep today… with the goal of keeping you engaged, awake, and interested. Connect with The Host! Subscribe to This Podcast Now!

The type of content consumed before bed can also impact sleep, potentially causing anxiety or other negative emotions. 26:52 Devices are helpful in reminding patients to prioritize sleep by providing a gauge of their sleep patterns. While not as detailed as medical sleep studies, they are relatively accurate in assessing whether a person is getting enough sleep. However, their accuracy may be limited when it comes to determining the quality of sleep.

  • Hang ‘Em High (1968) – A Perspective Review

    Hang ‘Em High (1968) – A Perspective Review
    Mar 18 2024
    In 1968, an already 38-year-old Clint Eastwood was made a producer of a movie that was going to be the "bridge" back to the states when it came to the Spaghetti Westerns and Hollywood's at-all interest in the modern Western Feature film. A number of years later, a young 8 year old Canadian kid dreamt of becoming a lawman. Later, he did, and at the center of that grand vision was the aforementioned bridge feature film. It's title is Hang 'Em High - 1968, directed by Ted Post, starring Clint Eastwood and a robust cast of Hollywood talent that is likely almost as long as this podcast. The sun is high on the horizon and the time to Hang 'Em High, with the help of a podcast host and four life-long lawmen hailing from a variety of parts of North America.

  • A Review of The Maddocks Questions — Brain Injury Awareness Month

    A Review of The Maddocks Questions — Brain Injury Awareness Month
    Mar 10 2024
    March means two things in the world of sports medicine, not counting March Madness. The first is National Athletic Training Month. The second is Brain Injury Awareness Month. In the world of sport-related concussions, it’s an ideal time to continue to bring awareness about concussions, which are a mild traumatic brain injury. I thought for this year, I’d try to go through the SCAT, or the Sport Concussion Assessment Tool and talk about what we know from an evidence-based standpoint how each of the components function. Today we are going to tackle the Maddocks questions. It’s time to buckle up as we dive into the SCAT. Connect with The Host! Subscribe to This Podcast Now!
