So why is Rotations talking about dogs?

The reason is simple, dogs are cool. Super cool. Every day you are dependent upon dogs. They work with US Customs to inspect cargo going around the world, they work with police officers around the world, they are part of every major military in the world, they assist people, they serve as our pets and they help some of us heal.

Two years ago we started work on a project called Dogs of War and we shot helf of that film in Tennessee at a wonderful place called Smoky Mountain Service Dogs. You can check them out here:

https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=smoky%20mountain%20service%20dogs&epa=SEARCH_BOX

After that shoot we were feeling pretty proud of ourselves and thought that we could turn the fim around in about a year. Then things stalled. Competing issues with our day jobs working at Ohio University and generally a lack of access to the population of the other half of our film put us in a serious hold.

So what to do?

It struck us that if we were going to look at Service Animals then it would be very helpful for our audience to understand “not service animals”. So we embarked on a journey to find out where dogs are used that are not “service animal jobs”.

Through a very serendipitous group of events we ran into Nigel Allsopp. If you have ever encountered someone who is a walking museum of the history of something then you have met Nigel. In Nigel’s case, his mental museum is the history of working military and police animals. These are WORKING dogs, not Service Dogs. And for that reason we wanted to introduce all of you to Nigel. He is an incredibly humble, positive and pleasant man.

In this first episode we start learning about just what working animals and dogs in general are and are not. It is a fascinating story of the interrelationship between some very unique animals who work and serve humans every day.

Nigel is also a prolific author and you can start learning more about him and AWAMO here:

Well where was I on Monday> I'll have yo know that I was in Salt Lake City Utah on Monday and so I did not get an episode posted...

But, but, but...

You are gonna like the reason why.

On Tuesday I was able to interview David Morton PhD MS

The Noted Anatomist

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe9lb3da4XAnN7v3ciTyquQ

from the University of Utah

https://medicine.utah.edu/faculty/mddetail.php?facultyID=u0166427

And it was great.

It also allowed me to test a new field rig that worked beautifully, thank you Countryman, Rode and Zoom H4N. I am hoping this means that in the future I can hit the road and bring a lot better stuff from far away to the podcast.

So just wait for next Monday and know that I didn't forget you.

The third segment (longer than normal, sorry but it’s good) of our interview with John Allerding, DO, OUCOM 1985 graduate, and his desire, drive and obsession with working with Antarctica. In this final segment we discuss a bit about telemedicine, technology and trying to be the spectrum of allied health with his physician assistant and a smattering of paramedics.

You really need to understand that working in Antarctica is the definition of “austere medicine”. We think that this episode will help you fully appreciate this.

John takes a lot of time in this episode to discuss daily life on the ice. Part of this centered around how you survive if the power goes out since you would be frozen solid in a matter of hours. The entire discussion reinforces the idea that to work on Antarctica you have to have a lot of metal and confidence in your plans and back up plans and back up plans for those back up plans. It is not for everyone. But the vistas are beautiful and John talks about this as well.

John has a Facebook page and it has all of the normal stuff that you would think to find on a Facebook page (photos of life, grandkids and a healthy smattering of John’s obsession with Corvettes) and It has some of Johns incredibly beautiful photos of Antarctica. We encourage you to pull it up as you listen to this (assuming you are not driving).

In the first segment of our interview with John Allerding, DO we discussed the generalities of his work as a physician on the Antarctic Continent. It is not a job for the feint of heart. In this episode we continue with our interview and John will go deeper into the preparations that he makes to leave his home in Ohio and spend 6 months in the dark on the bottom of the world.

Here’s a little hint: John has found a way to return to General Practice medicine of 60 years ago. The scope of his practice is… …EVERYTHING. Seriously. Imaging, general surgery, pharmacology and dentistry. You have to be able to do it all. How do you prepare for this stuff given the diminishing scope of training and scope that seems to occur in family medicine residencies?

This episode challenges the future family physician to really examine the type of training that prospective post-doctoral programs will offer. We were considerate of the idea that the broad scope of the Family Physician is not just something to consider for Antarctica. It applies to situations like Hurricane Katrina as well. All in all this episode is really thought provoking.

John has a Facebook page and it has all of the normal stuff that you would think to find on a Facebook page (photos of life, grandkids and a healthy smattering of John’s obsession with Corvettes) and It has some of Johns incredibly beautiful photos of Antarctica. We encourage you to pull it up as you listen to this (assuming you are not driving).

Unwanted Tears by Philip Daniel Zach

We are back with Armando Hasudungan MD for a second episode. If you are a medical school dean or medical educator you are already working with Armando. He’s part of your faculty and if you are not aware of that then you should be. Armando has 1.24 MILLION subscribers on YouTube and he is actively educating your students. He is one of a growing group of social media creators that are building exceptional content that students and physicians are turning to in order to get concise and enjoyable education about topics of interest.

Armando lives in Australia and for us that meant a very early morning and for him a very late night but via the power of the internet we could communicate and that is how he ended up as faculty-at-large at every medical school connected to the interwebs. His style is illustration and it is extremely creative and clear.

I hope you will forgive us for the audio levels, the string connecting our phones was about 9,500 miles long or 15,213 km for those in countries that haven’t landed a man on the moon yet. We think the content speaks for itself and we hope through this episode that you will become familiar with his work.

We also hope that you will forgive us for the length of the segment. We got into a really good discussion about medical information and literature and our Producer decided that it needed to be an episode of its own. We couldn’t edit Armando well and do him justice so we just went with more electrons and megabytes.

Hey, send him some money, subscribe to his channel…listen and you will find out why that’s a good idea.

Some of you may have seen Armando Hasudungan’s white board illustrations. Offered, without charge, to anyone with an interest in such things via his You Tube Channel, Armando generates in excess of 400,000 views for every episode that he creates. He has over 1.24 MILLION You Tube Subscribers and they even sent him a cool You Tube button.

His illustrations are organized, sequential and incredibly clarifying for those of us who want to quickly capture information on a topic and review long forgotten nuggets of medical knowledge. His use of social media to convey this information means that thousands of physicians, students, allied health professionals and the interested lay public, globally, have access to his unique methods of education.

In this set of interviews we examine his motivation and how he vets his materials. What is his process and where did he get such solid illustration skills. We also ask him, “what’s next?”. A wonderful partner in education, even if he does live on the other side of the planet, way down in Oz, and made us get up REALLY early to spend some time with him. It was well worth it on multiple levels and at the end of the day, Dr. Hasudungan opened our eyes to a bunch of great ideas.

Hey, send him some money…listen and you will find out why that’s a good idea.

The third time is a charm and this week we finish our 3rd year of medical school series with Nisarg Bakshi. In this episode Nisarg discusses some of the patients that have impacted him personally as he works toward integrating his vast medical knowledge with actually caring for human beings. It’s a process and one that is not for the weak of heart. Nisarg wants to be a pediatric subspecialist so we are curious how that turns out.

When we end this series we will be looking forward to hearing from Nisarg when he hits 4th year. The plan is to interview him after he matches and get some general reflections of life as a medical student overall and what it means to transition into actually being a physician with a degree. We plan on focuses on the enthusiasm he has for matching with his first choice or the challenges he faces dealing with choice number 2. But we know that won’t happen so you’ll just have to imagine what that would be like.

So after we did the first segment we decided that Nisarg had earned his keep and we gave him a second shot at greatness and immortality on the interwebs. In this episode Nisarg takes us through his process of sorting out his future and all the uncertainty and noise that accompanies that process.

The 3rd year of medical school is a time of great change; from pre-clinical to clinical medicine and the clarification of what a student “thinks” that they wanted to do to what they will devote their lives to actually doing. Nisarg is working through this and we know that he is going to make a good decision.
