Dr. Kali Dayton, DNP, AG-ACNP is a national speaker, highly sought after presenter at multiple critical care conferences and an intensive care unit team consultant.

She is an Acute Care Nurse Practitioner with many years in ICU as a nurse and now taking on the culture of oversedation as a Doctor of Nursing Practice.

We discuss MDs and APPs managing the units that must also be ready to frequently evaluate and assess sedation and mobility. We discuss critical care advocacy, awareness, education and training for ICU units and changing their policies of checklist sedation.

Her program leads to decreasing sedation, increasing mobility based on evidence-based practice, research and case studies. Even the most critical patients, requiring mechanical support, ECMO, vents etc. , can be participating in their therapies.

This helps to improve outcomes for patients, decrease complications, decrease delirium and improve the economic impact on insurance and hospitals. Also helps improve the patient and family interactions.

If your hospital has an ICU, you need to have her speak and evaluate your team's practices.

Check out her podcast "Walking Home from the ICU" and her website for services at DaytonICUconsulting. com

I sit down with Attorney Troy Rafferty, with the Levin, Papantonio & Rafferty Law Firm in Pensacola, FL and the Paralegal on his legal team, Ms. Taxie Lambert.

We discuss the legislation that brought 20 million in compensation to the Dozier School for Boys Survivors. The young boys endured, beatings, rape, torture, and some did not make it out of the State run "reform school" for boys, in Marianna, FL. It finally shut down in 2011.

Troy Rafferty teamed up with Fl State House District One Representative Michelle Salzman who sponsored HB21; it flew through every committee and House/Senate votes unanimously. At the time of this recording, it is awaiting the Governor's signature.

The Survivors, some of them Marine and Army Veterans, after decades long road to seeking acknowledgement, testified about their experiences and finally heard justice prevail. One survivor said, he didn't want Dozier to win.
