Brigham and Women's Hospital

My name's Bob Giuliano.

I'm a cardiologist at the Brigham and Women's Hospital, one of the Harvard teaching hospitals, and a member of the TIMI Study Group, where I've been for a little over 30 years now.

And, uh, I'm looking forward to this, uh, opportunity to discuss our exciting results with evolocumab on mortality outcomes in BASALIA-CV.

You know, this is one of the many, many TIMI trials that we have performed, and our organization takes great pride in trying to do high-quality clinical trials that will change clinical practice, and I think we, we got a very interesting one to discuss today.

Hi, I'm Wendy.

Uh, it's, it's my great pleasure to be on this show.

I'm a cardiologist at Brigham and Women's Hospital here in Boston, Massachusetts.

I work in cardio-oncology and also in echocardiography, and it's my great pleasure to be here.

She jumped out of a second story window and the fall caused catastrophic spinal injuries, including multiple thoracic and cervical fractures and an injury to the spinal canal, the combination of which led to her being paralyzed from the waist down.

So following her arrest and leading up to her trial, Lindsay Clancy had been held at three separate medical and psychiatric facilities, Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, Spalding Rehabilitation Hospital in Boston, and Tewksbury Psychiatric Hospital, which is where she's been and remains during her trial.

So then we need to get to the trial.

So prosecution versus the defense, what case are they going to be making? So the prosecution's case essentially is she is guilty of murder and that she is criminally responsible, okay? So the main points the prosecution made, Lindsay deliberately created the opportunity to murder her children.

Thanks, Chris, uh, for having me.

Uh, Scott Solomon from Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School.

Carin?

Hi.

Yes, that's quite a story, in fact.

So believe it or not, when I was a medical resident at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, I was convinced that I was going to be an interventional cardiologist.

And no one could have changed my mind on that.

And if you ask me why, I said, because it's the most exciting field in medicine, because you see real time medicine, right? The patient comes to the cath lab.

My dad was a doctor.

He ended up at Harvard Medical School, practiced at the Brigham and Women's Hospital.

He brought high-level skills to this country.

He made our country better.

In today's episode, Erica breaks down what nursing unions actually do, the biggest myths and misconceptions surrounding union hospitals, why safe staffing is one of the most important patient safety issues in healthcare, and what really happens before nurses vote to strike.

We also discuss the recent Brigham and Women's Hospital nursing strike, what new nurses should know before accepting their first job, and why advocacy isn't just about speaking up for nurses.

It's about creating safer care for every patient that we serve.

Whether you're a nursing student, a new grad, or an experienced nurse, I think you'll leave this conversation with a better understanding of your profession, your workplace, and the important role every nurse can play in shaping the future of healthcare.
