SUMMARY:Multi-Modal Pain Management
DESCRIPTION:Click HERE to Access Teams Recording \nClick HERE to Access CME Evaluation \nMulti-Modal Pain Management \nPresented By: Drew Michael Donnell\, MD\nPain Medicine/ Anesthesiology\, Beacon Health System \n \nWhile taking part in biomedical engineering research during high school at the local university\, Drew M. Donnell\, MD\, initially elected to study business and sports administration. He then transitioned to studying applied mathematics in the context of health care. Ultimately\, he decided there wasn’t enough interpersonal contact with patients. “I did not choose medicine until I firsthand experienced transformations in quality of life from various high-intensity surgeries during graduate school\, prior to matriculating into medicine\,” he says. \nHe earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Movement Science at University of Michigan – Ann Arbor. This was followed by a Master of Science degree in Biostatistics from University of Pittsburgh. It was here that he also graduated from the university’s School of Medicine as an MD. He completed a General Surgery Internship and Anesthesiology Residency at Ohio State University\, and a Multidisciplinary Pain Fellowship at Northwestern University. \nDr. Donnell is the first medical doctor in his family\, although his mother is a clinical psychologist. He chose the field of anesthesiology because of its complexity and frequent utilization of advanced technology. “I’ve administered anesthesia for everything from liver transplants to simple ankle reductions\, but ultimately it all comes down to protecting the patient and their physiology.” \nIn addition\, he practices interventional pain management\, to improve the quality of life for individuals affected long term by serious discomfort. “Pain management is a natural extension of anesthesiology that offers more face time with patients and an array of rapidly evolving interventions\,” he says. \nDr. Donnell delivers care to help patients be more comfortable and he works to enable them to be able to do more of the activities that give their lives meaning. \nThrough the years his patients have taught him that complex problems often have simple solutions\, but the opposite also holds true\, he says. “Medicine is one of the toughest jobs around\, but is unmatched in its ability to affect others\,” he says.

DESCRIPTION:Click HERE to Access Teams Recording \nClick HERE to Access the CME Evaluation  \nOverview and Updates on Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome \nPresented By: Rosalie McBride\, MD\nObstetrics and Gynecology\, Beacon Health System \n \n“I love the miracle of new life\, plus the continuity of care I am able to have with women through many stages of their life\,” says Rosalie McBride\, MD\, about her work in obstetrics and gynecology. \nDr. McBride decided to become a doctor her senior year of high school. She enjoyed science and relating to people\, so medicine was a natural fit. She earned her Medical Degree from Indiana University School of Medicine\, Indianapolis\, IN\, and her residency was also completed there in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. In her family\, Dr. McBride’s brother is an interventional cardiologist and her sister-in-law is a hematologist/oncologist\, so she says her generation is well represented in the medical field. \nAs to her approach to practicing medicine\, Dr. McBride wants people to know she practices medicine with care and compassion. “I spend the time needed with each person to give the best care I can.” She strives to practice with kindness and tries to teach people that taking care of their body – physically and emotionally – leads to better health. \nHer patients have taught her so much\, as well\, she says. “Each person has a unique\, personal story and understanding that story allows me to be a better doctor.”

After researching jobs in science and speaking with family friends\, he realized anesthesia would be the perfect profession for him. “I have the opportunity to help people on a daily basis\, and I get to be a science nerd at the same time.” \nDr. Gursky provides anesthesia services for heart and lung surgeries. “During the case\, it is my job to make sure that you are completely asleep\, and you wake up with minimal pain or discomfort\,” he explains. He also ensures that vital signs are all within the correct ranges throughout the surgery and that everything goes well from a medical standpoint. \nHe chose to practice at Beacon because of its great cardiac surgery department. “The cases and outcomes here are outstanding\,” he explains. “The patient’s quality of life is often drastically improved as a result of the care they receive at Beacon. It makes my job very rewarding.” \nWhen it comes to his practice\, Dr. Gursky has a simple philosophy: vigilance and standardization. “I do my best to be vigilant and do the same thing the same way every time to ensure the best outcome possible.” \nThe way Dr. Gursky sees it\, he is in a unique position. “Patients generally have a long-standing relationship with their doctors\,” he explains. “A patient meets me for ten minutes before their major heart surgery. I spend the entire day with them\, but they are only awake for a few minutes of it. I hope that my brief time with them fills them with confidence in my abilities.” He adds\, “I’ve learned that even when someone is ill\, they can see the bright future ahead. I hope that patients get a sense of calm when meeting me.”

After he suffered the loss of a friend through a tragic car accident\, he began to rethink his calling. “Through the time spent in the hospital with [my friend] and his family\, I felt the calling to pursue a career in medicine\, and ultimately in surgery\,” he says. \nDr. Miller does not have any other family members in the medical profession. He comes from a long line of Amish cabinet makers\, who have been in that business since 1918. “I am fluent in Pennsylvania Dutch and love to use the mother tongue to connect with my Amish and Mennonite patients.” \nToward the end of the six-year period working as a photographer and graphic designer\, he earned his Bachelor of Science at the University of Akron\, majoring in Biology. During college\, he founded a small web-based company that sold custom leather goods to customers around the globe. He worked with local Amish leather shops to create and fulfill orders. While running this online business\, he began medical school at The Ohio State University College of Medicine\, where he earned his Doctor of Medicine degree. \nHe describes his philosophy of surgery as “a pursuit of the highest technical standards of excellence\, combined with a desire to create a deep personal connection with each patient.” \nDr. Miller says\, “One of the greatest things I have gained from observing my patients is that ordinary people are often capable of great courage.” \n  \nDisclosure Statement: Dr. Miller is a consultant for Intuitive Surgical\, the makers of the DaVinci robotic surgery system. In this role\, Dr. Miller provides proctoring services for surgeons learning the DaVinci system. This presentation primarily focused on general robotic surgery.

My name is Victoria Drzyzga\, but everyone calls me Tori. I am the oldest of 5 children (and the only girl) and grew up on a small island in Michigan\, called Grosse Ile. I knew from a very young age that I wanted to be a physician. My time in Detroit at Wayne State solidified my interest in becoming a physician and working with vulnerable and underserved populations ­­During medical school at OUWB\, my passion for working with the underserved only increased and I was able to work with one of my classmates to establish a street medicine program to bring healthcare and other resources to unhoused individuals in Pontiac\, MI. Besides working with underserved populations\, I am also interested in cultivating lasting relationships with patients across the lifespan\, which led me to the wonderful specialty of family medicine. \nDr. Callaghan joined the faculty in 2021. She originally came to South Bend to attend the University of Notre Dame as an undergraduate. During that time\, she grew to deeply love the city of South Bend and its people\, and she remained in South Bend after graduation to complete a year of service\, working closely with Young Life Michiana and the St. Peter Claver Catholic Worker. In 2013\, she moved to Nashville to attend Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. There she discerned family medicine as the best path forward for her in seeking to meet the needs of underserved patients. Dr. Callaghan completed her Family Medicine residency at Memorial in 2020. During her time as a resident\, she participated in both the Care of the Underserved and Health Services Management curricula. After completing her residency\, she became Memorial’s Health Services Management Fellow\, receiving her Master of Public Affairs degree from Indiana University in 2021. As a faculty member\, Dr. Callaghan oversees the Care of the Underserved curricular track. In addition\, she is a member of the Wellness Committee and the Inclusion\, Diversity\, Equity\, and Antiracism Committee at the residency. \nAlongside her work at the residency\, Dr. Callaghan is an adjunct professor in the University of Notre Dame’s Hillebrand Center for Compassionate Care in Medicine. She helps teach two courses at Notre Dame\, Compassionate Care and the Medical Professions and Spiritualties of Caring in the Helping Professions. In this work\, she gets to explore with students the neuroscience of compassion and ways to pursue well-being as well as a balanced approach to care throughout one’s career as a helping professional.
