Intro to Trauma

I decided to give you a little teaser before I launch into trauma this week. When we speak of trauma for the next 3 weeks on Rotations we are not going to be thinking of the 70 MPH into a bridge abutment with a Lifeflight from the scene to the Level 1 facility for emergency care kind of trauma. We are going to discuss something else. Trauma in the context of behavioral health concerns itself with things that happen in childhood and how they shape a person into adulthood. It is controversial and some people behind it get pretty passionate. But I will be honest, until I started learning about it, I wasn't all to entertaining of its impact. But after giving it a think I actually asked one of our psychologists to lead his class for our medical students during Veterans Health Week and discuss the topic. It's important for us all to know about and to think about. You can start your education here. https://www.traumainformedcare.chcs.org/what-is-trauma-informed-care/ I also finish up with a brief discussion of concerns about cardiac health after COVID. I deal with it more aggressively on my You Tube channel but you can search that out for yourself. In the mean time, I'm finishing up and hopefully by Thursday you will hear Lori and Jennifer start their conversation with me on trauma.
