Critical Incident Stress Management – 219

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Subscribe: Spotify | RSS

At my district we are moving forward with implementing tools and policy to better serve the medical providers in the event of a critical incident at work.  Athletic trainers do not normally deal with the death of an athlete, parent or coach.  Even less often is when they perform life saving measures and still lose the person.  We are not Emergency Department employees that see this daily and we also have a relationship built with those people.  Please look into improving a really rotten situation before it happens.

Essential Oils in the ATR – 218

Essential Oils are a mythical sort of thing for some of us.  I have heard they cure or heal all sorts of things, I have been told that if you swipe this oil on you after you have been around people that it will prevent you from getting sick.  I have also watched those same people get sick several times.  Here we will speak with respectable athletic trainers about the use of Essential Oils in the Athletic Training room, some best practices, some contraindications and things to avoid.

We have created an army of lifesavers in Pasadena.  Over 700 kids this year have been trained in CPR and life saving skills.  in the last 3 years we have trained over 2100 students.  After next year we will have trained essentially each student at Pasadena High School in Life Saving skills.

It is a lot of work, but looking at the impact this can have it is worth every second of work.

There are a lot of people involved in this process and I am so thankful for their support.

Are we drinking enough water?  Should you take that 8 cups challenge at work? What about the athletes, are we actually harming them by giving them Gatorade at baseball games where they barely sweat?  Pickle Juice, Powerade, Gatorade, Salt Tablets or Chicken Broth, what is unbiased research showing?

Biodex is a great tool to help solve the puzzle.  for most Athletic Trainers in the Secondary Setting it s not an option to have one in school.  However Kevin suggests speaking with the Doctor and Physical Therapist and see if they can not work out an à la carte script for using the equipment
