This is episode 2 of the series: Envenomations: Snakes, Lizards, Marine Life, and Arthropods

Envenomations, particularly snakebites, are common in Southern states, yet most
healthcare professionals have little formal training on this subject. Frequently, the medical care provided is inconsistent with established guidelines. There are a variety of common mistakes of both omission and commission. Antivenom is not administered when it is indicated, and antibiotics and surgical interventions are ordered despite the evidence indicating these are unnecessary. Many soft tissue infections are mis-diagnosed as spider bites and hymenoptera stings often receive unnecessary and potentially dangerous treatments.

This podcast reviews the pathophysiology, clinical features, and management of various
envenomations, including snakebites, scorpion stings, spider bites, hymenoptera stings,
bites from venomous lizards and a variety of marine envenomations, including jellyfish
stings. Common myths will be dispelled, and learners will be provided with evidence-based treatment guidelines.

Series: Living with Lyme: Diagnosis, Treatment, and Healing

We all know that conversations in general can have understandings and misunderstandings. Conversations can lead to peace or hostility, trust or mistrust. In healthcare, many conversations take place in the presence of a health concern, scare, or crisis. This adds an additional layer of stress or the potential for a challenging or difficult time with communication. We want to help healthcare professionals to thoughtfully consider the challenges that are part of the different types of patient interactions. We want to discuss recognizing why certain interactions are stressful and help healthcare professionals break down their feelings and consider how to approach such interactions for better outcomes.

This is episode 1  of the series: Challenging Patient Interactions: Conversations that Matter

Communication is a perennial challenge in the world of healthcare. Healthcare professionals have their own filters, time constraints, and temperaments - so do patients. Uncertain and stressful situations, particularly healthcare-related, surfaces complicated emotions making meaningful communication between patients and clinicians difficult. Trust is the foundation of healthy communication. Addressing the issues that interfere with communication (e.g., mistrust, hostility, impatience, etc.) will help clinicians build trust with their patients and colleagues and improve communication. In this course, healthcare professionals will master the tools needed to identify possible conflicts, acknowledge patient emotions, and engage in healthy communication strategies that benefit both patient and clinician.

Series: Challenging Patient Interactions: Conversations that Matter

Challenging interactions are going to happen. We cannot eliminate them from the healthcare setting as everyone has their own way of dealing with emotions, stressful situations, and uncertainty. But if we know they are going to happen from time to time, we can take a more proactive approach to prevention strategies, dealing with them in the moment, and addressing patient and coworker challenges. And, of course, we want to address letting go of blame for healthcare workers who have blamed themselves for things that were outside of their control or allowed unfortunate situations to make them view themselves too harshly or unfairly.
