In this fourth episode of the author podcast, we discuss the differences in the safety between the airline industry and the house of medicine. What makes them different? What unique challenges do each have?

What would it look like if medicine could perform the way the airline industry does?

The airline industry is a significant benefit of planning and forethought. Anesthesia is a similar set up most of the time, though there are certain emergent cases as well. Emergency medicine is like the single dirt runway airport on an island that often has chickens and goats standing where you want to land. Despite these difficulties, we still do our best.

The recent crash in Washington DC with American Eagle flight 5342 led me to move this discussion up. Absolutely Horrific outcome, and something that should have been preventable. In this video, I discuss the Swiss cheese affect and how despite multiple layers of safety, errors can still slip through if the shortcomings align.

In the writing section, I talk about my psychological romance drama book, It Happened in the Loft. This book explores PTSD and using EM DR to help patients recover from this. https://amzn.to/4jxk5Lb
