AT Cares Program – 347

Still in its infancy the ATCares program being rolled out by the NATA is a phenomenal resource that has been long over due.  I am excited to be a part of the program and have been a helping hand in Bubba Wilson being asked to be the district 6 representative.

Here we focus on the reason for this, basic tips and the effects it has had so far.

My one big take away: Say “I've been in a similar situation” instead of “I know how you feel” because you truly do not know how that person feels.

In case you missed my story here is the full episodes where we dealt with the loss of an athlete.

Episode 135 – Full story, very raw emotions

Episode 190 – After Action Plan – a follow up to the story

Helmet and Equipment Removal With Dr. Prasarn – 325

Bubba Wilson has some questions about the NATA position statement and seeks clarification and understanding.  Few injuries are as scary as spinal cord ones.  To ensure we are following best practices and understand why we are doing what is recommended we have some experts give insight and explanation.

Number one determining factor is time under pressure.  Get the athlete to a level 1 trauma center to reduce pressure on the spinal cord.

We also seek to discuss some of the practical ways to implement these skills into the secondary setting.

Dr. Mark Prasarn is the spine consultant for the Houston Texans and University of Houston.  Some of his research has helped shape the way spine injuries are managed.

Dr. MaryBeth Horodyski is a professor and resident research coordinator at University of Florida.

Rhabdomyolysis from a Patient Perspective – 319

Carmen Solis caught the perfect storm of plane flight, elevation, dehydration, new protein shake, different environment and a slightly new routine to catch a case of Rhabdo.

Dr. Rehal Bhojani explains the facts as he sees them and gives great insight to us in identifying future cases of Rhabdo.

Urine color charts in every stall (male and female) are a top recommendation.  Muddy / orange urine is almost always an indicator of Rhabdo.

Help prevent Rhabdo by easing your athletes back into workouts.  Gone is the idea of “we are going to kill them and make men out of them.”

Brett Singer's Session Audio

We are broadcasting live and interviewing the speakers of the Memorial Hermann's Sports Medicine Update.  It is a great way to continue improving your athletic training practice.  There are always new topics, new aspects of old topics and great re-freshers.

We plan to release the lecture and then the interview.  Through the course of the summer the podcasts will be shorter, more frequent, and a lot more raw (less editing).

All the lectures and handouts have been uploaded and are now available on Google Drive.

200 Episodes of Sports Medicine Content

WOW, what an amazing fast paced show.  30 minutes is really fast.  We had a lot of fun and gave away some really cool stuff thanks to some really awesome people.

Here is the full list of guests and topics.  This episode is long but very entertaining.

About every half hour we switched guests if you want to jump ahead to one then think in roughly 30 minute blocks.

200 schedule of guests

It will also start the NATM with a bang since we are running about 15 shows this month.

 

Catastrophic Death and injury re-visited: an Action Plan – 190

In episode 135 – Tragedy, Death, Grief, Healing we were fresh off the loss of an athlete in which we performed life-saving skills.  We desire for each school to have an action plan in place to help the Athletic Trainers and coaches deal with the loss for the next 6 months, not just the next week.

Here is our action plan for you to submit to your district and have on file or in place before a catastrophic injury occurs.

Lessons Learned from 4 Engaging Summer Conferences – 186

Summer was packed with learning for me with 3 Sports Medicine conferences, and 1 podcast conference.  I have learned a lot of things but that for the most part we are on the right track.  We continue to improve by learning each week from the podcast, and I am working on continually improving the podcast for you.

Thanks for being part of the show Israel and Mickey.
