It’s no secret that COVID-19 hit the healthcare world hard, especially those on the frontlines. The best defense we have against this virus are vaccines. As you’ve heard on previous episodes, studies show the vaccines are safe and effective. Across the country, and especially in California, an overwhelming majority of ED physicians, and most ED nurses and support staff, have chosen to get vaccinated. But that still left many healthcare workers unvaccinated and at risk of getting sick or passing the virus to patients. So, the government stepped in to issue mandates.  In this episode, we explore the recent California state and U.S. federal mandates that require healthcare workers to be vaccinated, or apply for a medical or religious exemption. We hear from nurses with differing opinions on the mandate, get into the details of the mandate with Health Policy and Advocacy Fellow, Dr. Hunter Pattison, and talk with Director of Emergency Services at UC Davis, Rupy Sandhu, about the challenges of implementation and lessons learned from this experience.  How has your hospital or ED responded to the mandate?

Youth Violence Prevention

The opioid epidemic gets a lot of attention, but methamphetamine use may actually affect more of our patients in the emergency department. Those of us who work in the ED are all too familiar with the agitated delirium that meth can cause, as well as the long term effects, like heart failure. In this episode, we hear one woman’s story of her experience with methamphetamines and how substance use nearly destroyed her life. Then our Toxicology colleagues, Dr. Kelly Owen and Dr. Dan Colby, walk us through how meth works, how to manage acute intoxication and other dangerous consequences, and how we can better care for our patients who use methamphetamines.

A Chance For Change

In the emergency department, we treat violently injured patients on nearly every shift. We can splint the broken bones, stitch up the cuts, and send seriously injured patients to the operating room with our surgical colleagues. We may be able to heal the physical wounds, but what about the emotional ones? And what happens to our patients when they go home to the same potentially unhealthy environments that led to the violent injury in the first place? The UC Davis Wraparound program addresses these issues and more. We talk with program Co-lead, Dr. Ian Brown, and Violence Intervention Specialist, Chevist Johnson, about how Wraparound works and why programs like these are so important.  Do you have a similar program where you work, or are you interested in learning more about how to start one?

***Trigger warning: this episode includes discussion of child abuse*** As emergency physicians, we are uniquely positioned to identify and address child abuse, or non-accidental trauma (NAT). It’s a challenging part of our job, but our vigilance can save a child’s life. Signs of abuse can often be subtle, but there are some very specific findings that should make us consider NAT. In this episode, we talk with expert, Dr. Mary Clyde Pierce, about her recently published paper, coauthored by our own Dr. Julia Magaña, validating the TEN-4 FACESp clinical decision rule to predict abuse in young children.  Have you used TEN-4 FACESp to identify potential non-accidental trauma?

It could have been different

Happy spring, everyone! This Heartbeat is all about joy and community, so come along with me to Macedonia Baptist Church in Sacramento, California, where community leaders, Pastor Jeffrey Johnson and Derrell Roberts, teamed up with Dr. Kevin Mackey, Medical Director for Sacramento Regional Fire, and UC Davis Emergency Medicine providers to offer COVID vaccinations to the local community. Equitable vaccine distribution is an ongoing concern across the US and, according to a recent CDC report (linked below), our most vulnerable communities are still under vaccinated. In Sacramento County and across the country, local physicians, administrators and community leaders are coming up with new strategies to reach these communities, including partnering with trusted community leaders. When things come together, the results are amazing, and the vaccine clinic at Macedonia Baptist is a shining example of this.  What innovative strategies have you seen in your community to work toward vaccine equity?

My Pastor told me to

Last month, Dr. Josh Elder spoke with us about how UC Davis Express Care allows patients to see a doctor via virtual urgent care visits. In this episode, we explore a different side of telemedicine: teleconsults. Dr. Jim Marcin is Director of the UC Davis Center for Health and a pioneer in telemedicine. As a Pediatric Critical Care Physician, Dr. Marcin has been facilitating teleconsults for physicians at rural hospitals to help provide the expertise needed for care for critically ill children. He explains the current model he and his colleagues are using, the data to support what works (and what doesn’t), and a glimpse into what he might expect in the future as telehealth becomes more widely available.  Have you tried telemedicine, either as a patient of provider?
