The Nocturnists is such a good podcast for storytelling in medicine. I can’t stop listening.

Feed The Queue Podcast: Striking Gold With This Podcast Discovery Show

Think about reviews and recommendations for the movie industry. There are about 125 movies released every year, and about 7,000 movie review podcasts, with thousands more online reviewers. In essence, there are too many reviewers chasing too little product. How many reviews can you read about Deadpool & Wolverine?

Now, think about podcasting. There are arguably about 40,000 active podcasts. More than 80 percent of them are independent podcasts, which means they don't have a Mother Ship like Amazon, Spotify, or iHeart to financially and logistically support them.

Numbers are admittedly sketchy on this, but there are a few thousand -- maybe-- podcast recommendation podcasts, online publications or video shows. In essence, there are not enough podcast reviewers chasing a "googol" of excellent podcasts. (Note: A googol is 10 to the power of 100, 10¹⁰⁰).

As a podcast reviewer and recommendation publication, I can recommend some superb podcast recommendation crews such as Bingeworthy, BlkPodNews, Great Pods, Into The Podverse, Podstack, Podcast The Newsletter, and Feed the Queue.

You can't go wrong with recommendations from any of these sources. What I also admire is that these recommenders focus on independent podcasts that are often lost in the category 5 hurricane winds that define podcast discoverability.

Feed The Queue is a podcast recommendation show that just started its fourth season. It is produced by Tink Media, one of the outstanding podcast marketing companies in the space. Tink is run by Lauren Passell, one of the most well-known and highly respected people in the industry.

Feed The Queue describes itself like this: "The ultimate podcast discovery podcast! We’re feeding your queue with episodes of our favorite shows. Join the team from Tink Media and creators from across the industry to learn about shows you’ll love. Think of it like a char-queue-terie of podcasts, full of delicious sounds and flavors."

While the mention of a charcuterie board made me wish for some brie, there's nothing cheesy about this podcast. Every episode highlights a podcast that becomes ear-worthy right after listening to Feed the Queue and luxuriating in the podcasts they recommend. Feed The Queue is like Consumer Reports or Wirecutter for podcasts.

I readily confess that I have liked every podcast the show has recommended. My favorites include, Beef, Digital Folkore, Rumble Strip, Skyline Drive, and The Nocturnists. Beef with Bridget Todd was a particular favorite of mine.

One of my favorite episodes -- November 17, 2023 -- featured one of my favorite podcasts, 6 Degrees Of Cats by Amanda B. On the episode, host Andreea and 6 Degrees podcaster Amanda discuss her background and bio, how she crafted her unique sound design for the show, and how she baked in history, culture, and science into a podcast about cats. During the episode, host and guest restrained themselves on cat puns, and the clip of the episode Andreea played was delightful.

I must note that 6 Degrees Of Cats was the July 2024 winner of the Ear Worthy Award for Best Pet Podcast.

The Feed The Queue podcast has gone through several iterations as it begins its fourth season, and that is a good thing. Podcasts that don't change, don't last, unless you count PodQuiz and its infernal yet charming conformity.

The Welcome to Season 4 episode was just released on September 10th. The intro music by Aakshi Sinha is pleasantly unique and acoustically quirky. Joni Mitchell, eat your heart out.

The co-hosts of this episode are Devin Andrade and Andreea Coscai. On the debut episode of season four, the co-hosts added a new element to the show, with each co-host asking three questions: How did you discover your love of audio? What is one of your favorite podcasts? If you had a budget of one million dollars, what podcast would you produce?

It's a light-bulb moment because those three questions elicit more personal information about the co-hosts but stick closely to the podcast discovery theme.

Apparently, different people from Tink Media will co-host the show, and with the talented people there like Wil Williams, quality will not be diminished at all.

Podcast discoverability continues to be the equivalent to a cold that will not go away. Podcasters, podcast listeners, and industry people know that there are thousands of exceptional podcasts just waiting to be discovered.

However, needle meet haystack. Until a comprehensive, coordinated, and collaborative system of podcast discoverability is implemented (and even after), podcast discovery shows like Feed The Queue are essential for people searching for the next great listen.

Finally, as enthusiastic supporters of independent podcasts, I salute Tink Media for their commitment to the people who started podcasting and remain the heart and soul of the industry -- independent podcasters.

It may be breakfast or lunchtime when you read this, so Feed The Queue and devour a great podcast. Try Conspiracy, She Wrote. This way, you can find out where in Ohio those immigrants are apparently eating all the dogs and cats in the town. Run, Scruffy, run.

hangry’s paging etiquette

When I first started working as a hospitalist, I used to wake in the middle of the night, thinking that I heard my pager. To this day, I’m still jumpy when my pager goes off. 

During my first week of work, I did not have a pager. At that time, I learned about paging other people. More than once I made the mistake of paging someone to the incorrect phone number or forgetting to leave my name with the number. This rightfully annoyed the hell out of some people.

But I’ve since learned! 

There’s no class on paging, so I put together a mini guide.

1. Stay next to the phone after you page. If I page someone and they take the time to answer the page (sometimes pulling them out of the OR or an important family meeting), I better have my ass next to the phone when they call back. Otherwise I’m 1) wasting their time and 2) giving them a reason to be annoyed the next time that I page them. 

2. Leave your name and contact information. Occasionally I receive pages that do not include the name of who is trying to contact me. One such page was regarding a patient who was acutely short of breath. A text page will provide a limited amount of information due to character count. It is crucial to have a name and contact number to get more information, especially in emergency situations.

3. Provide 2 forms of contact. In several parts of the hospital, my ASCOM doesn’t work. Usually when I page someone, I sign off with both my pager number and my ASCOM number. If I have enough room in the page, I’ll also add the extension for the nearest landline.

4. Give pertinent patient information. Pages about patients should include the patient name, their MRN, and immediate concern. Ex: J Doe (MRN 123456) is having more chest pain, now with radiation to L arm. Hangry, PA, p1234, x123456 

5. Stating the urgency also can help. Especially during the hour before shift change, I can get 10 pages within 10 minutes. When trying to determine which to respond to first, it can be helpful to have a timeframe for when a response is required. For instance, a page regarding J Doe with acute chest pain could be prefaced with “Please contact ASAP,” while someone with unclear medication orders could have a page that ends with “please contact before 5pm meds are due.” 

6. Be mindful of when you page. If the issue is nonurgent and can be discussed during prerounds or rounds, it may be better to wait and discuss in person. If you know the provider will be in meetings or the OR throughout the afternoon (and the issue is nonurgent), try to wait until afterward to page.

7. Page the nocturnist for urgent matters only. When something would be better addressed by the day team, it’s best to wait until the day team arrives. Try not to page the nocturnist about laxatives, diets, lotion, updating the family (unless you’re upgrading a patient), cleaning up the chart, and other similar matters. 

8. Have relevant information available for a consult. When I first started working, this was difficult for me because I thought that everything was relevant. But the consulting service doesn’t need to know everything. For instance, when contacting Neurology for cord compression they likely won’t need to know that the patient has a poison ivy rash. Have the patient’s name, MRN, reason for consult, workup thus far (relevant labs, imaging, etc), and a clear question. Ex: J Doe (MRN 123456: 65M w prostate ca) has BLE numbness in the setting of L5 compression fracture. CT shows possible cord compression. Would you recommend steroids, AED, or further imaging? Thank you. Hangry, micu pa, x123456, p1234.

I’m sure there’s more, so feel free to comment and add to the list!

Design on the Front Lines Discussion Series

Imagine a space where doctors and designers alike can come together and solve some of the toughest challenges in healthcare in one of the most evocative spaces in Philadelphia. The Jefferson Health Design Lab exists to bring people from different backgrounds together and promote inclusive design in healthcare. From patients to providers, everyone has the potential to accelerate change and improve lives. Fueled by traditional and modern prototyping technology and a foundation of Health Design Thinking, the Health Design Lab is more than just a maker space, but a space that will change the way we all think about the future of healthcare.

HEALTH DESIGN THINKING: CREATING PRODUCTS AND SERVICES FOR BETTER HEALTH

By Bon Ku, MD, and Ellen Lupton

As health care systems around the globe struggle to expand access, improve outcomes, and control costs, Health Design Thinking offers a new approach for designing dynamic, responsive health care products and services. Health Design Thinking is authored by Bon Ku, physician and founder of the innovative Health Design Lab at Thomas Jefferson University, and Ellen Lupton, award-winning designer, author, and curator at Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, with contributions from experts in design and medicine. This practice-based guide applies design thinking to real-world health care challenges. Design thinking uses play and experiment rather than rigid rules. It draws on interviews, observations, diagrams, storytelling, physical models, and role playing; design teams focus not on technology but on problems faced by patients and clinicians. Illustrated with 230 drawings, photographs, storyboards, data graphics, architectural plans, and other visualizations, Health Design Thinking provides a hands-on manual for reframing medical education, treatment, and industry to align with everyday challenges in communities around the world.

A day in the life of inpatient oncology

Inspired by @mindfullymedical and @snowandstarlight! This is all through the lens of Being Me, so your experience may vary. 

0500: Wake up. Grababrushandputalittlemakeup. In reality, roll out of bed and groggily knock stuff off the nightstand. The partner is already up and looking suspiciously awake. Drink so much coffee. 

0600: Head to work using one of those newfangled Lifts or Overs or whatever the kids call it. 

0615: Arrive and get signout on my patients from the Nocturnist. He has lo-fi hip hop - beats to nocturne to playing quietly in the background. He looks slightly haggard and has that frenzied end-of-shift jauntiness. 

0620 - 0700: Read up on all my patients, scrawl down overnight events, labs, telemetry data, and imaging findings. This is when I start sketching out a plan for the day for each patient. I write a ‘to consult’ list of services I need to contact throughout the day. If I have time I fire up notes and pre-save them so they can be filled in quicker later in the day. Sometimes I have a bone marrow harvest that starts at 0700 and another provider will cover my patients until I’m done around 3 hours later. 

0700 - 0800: Pre-round. Depending on the attending rounds may start at 0730, 0800, or - on the weekends - whenever they get there. I ask my patients about anything exciting that happened since I saw them yesterday. After the physical exam I chat with the their nurse about if there’s anything needed right now or if there were any problems they noticed.  

0800: If there’s a planned admission, it’s usually scheduled at 0800.This has to be snuck in before rounds and can take some juggling.  

0800 - 1130: Rounds. My service has one attending and 3-4 mixed providers as the primary contacts: Advanced practice providers (NPs, PAs), visiting physicians, or Fellows. We round as a group along with our team pharmacist, the floor nurse for each patient, a nurse from the transition service, and students. Rounds can be slow paced, methodical, and full of questions, or it can be lightning quick and all business. In front of each door I present my patients and outline my plan. It’s absolutely key to have a phone and computer on wheels so that consults, documenting, returning pages, entering orders, and all the other miscellanea of coordinating inpatient care can be done. 

1130: Radiology rounds. We all go downstairs to the Radiology department and sit with a senior Radiologist to review imaging done on our patients in the past day. Very educational and low-key. 

1200: Now’s when we split up. Lunch maybe, depending on if all the patients were rounded on prior to Radiology rounds. We almost invariably eat in our team room while documenting, making calls, and answering pages. 

1300 - 1900: Document, dictate, put in orders, admit unplanned patients, discharge patients, answer pages, consult, follow up on pending results, do bone marrow biopsy/aspirations or lumbar punctures, read up on unfamiliar medications/conditions, and round individually on my patients at least twice more. I always peek in on my people right before leaving to minimize any issues that might arise while the Nocturnist is still getting settled in. 

1930: Sign out to the Nocturnist. Depending on the day I may stick around longer to finish documentation, but without the added pressure of being paged or up for admission. 

2000: Get home (usually). Eat like a crazed animal. Maybe document more remotely if I didn’t feel like staying in the hospital. 

2030 - 2100: Do some more reading on medical topics if I still have some life left in me. 

2100: Walk a doggy!  He’s so happy!

2200: Grind coffee for the next day and crash. Alternatively, stay awake way too late watching youtube videos and sending dank memes to my partner sitting literally 2 feet away. Regret it in the morning.
