Host: Aaron Carroll, MD

Guest: Patricia Scott, PhD

Transplantation offers patients a new lease on life, but the process of waiting before and recovering after a transplant can take their toll. Host Dr. Aaron Carroll is joined by Dr. Patricia Scott, who studies occupational role transitions throughout the liver transplantation process at Indiana University, to discusses the challenges patients face and their quality of life before and after transplantation. Dr. Scott also talks about how healthcare providers can help foster a better quality of life for patients surrounding transplantation.

Host: Janet Wright, MD

Guest: Peter Nagele, MD

Time is of the essence after cardiac arrest; action must be taken within five minutes. Survival rates for patients who arrest outside the hospital are disappointing. How do we help patients who arrest in public or (statistically more likely) in the home, where there is no access to medical equipment and medication? Host Dr. Janet Wright talks with Dr. Peter Nagele, chief of the section of trauma anesthesiology in the department of anesthesiology at Washington University in St. Louis, about revised CPR methods without mouth-to-mouth, and what recent research tells us about the potential for these methods to improve outcomes. And what are plans for training the general public?

Host: Timothy Bailey, MD

Guest: Elizabeth Kovacs, PhD

Experimental approaches, including the suppression of certain immune cells to speed difficult wounds, may lead healthcare professionals to advances in the treatment of diabetic wounds. What are the therapeutic strategies and implications for our patients with diabetes? Join guest host Dr. Timothy Bailey and his guest, director of research at the Burn & Shock Trauma Institute at Loyola University Medical Center, Dr. Elizabeth Kovacs, as they discuss the latest research in suppressing certain immune cells to speed healing of slow-to-heal wounds.

Host: Anthony Alessi, MD

Guest: William Coplin, MD

The world witnessed a remarkable recovery after Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was shot in the head in an assassination attempt in January, 2011. However, most gunshot wounds to the head are fatal; statistics show only 5 percent of those shot in the head survive. Yet there are actions first responders and physicians can take to increase the chance of survival. Dr. William Coplin, associate professor of neurology and neurological surgery at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan, and director of neurotrauma and the neurological intensive care unit at Detroit Receiving Hospital, joins host Dr. Anthony Alessi to discuss what needs to be done in the "golden hour" after a shooting. He also focuses on the problems and rehabilitation issues patients face after this life-altering wound.

Host: Mimi Secor, DNP, FNP-BC, FAANP

Guest: Maryana McGlasson

Nurse practitioner Maryana McGlasson waited for months to find out if she would be selected to work with the Doctors without Borders Program. Once she was notified, she had three days to hop on a plane and get to Nigeria, where she would be one of a handful of nurses dealing with hundreds of patients with cholera. She shares her inspiring story with host Mimi Secor on why she decided to become a Doctors without Borders volunteer and what it's like to treat patients with this highly contagious cholera in a tent city lacking even reliable electricity.
