The Sports Medicine Broadcast

Mobile Sports Medicine units are becoming more popular and allow an Athletic Trainer to create a home base for Athletic Training care at remote locations. What is in this episode? Keith runs the Ironman races, I just ran a 5k.  So I quickly ask him about some tips for chaffing and gear for races.  Then we get into the Sports Medicine Trailer update. He has had lots of questions since our first conversation and would love to help you get a trailer going for your teams. Where can I find more? Our first Mobile Sports Medicine Units episode is here: https://sportsmedicinebroadcast.com/trailers/ Where was the interview? We are broadcasting live from the 2018 NATA expo in New Orleans. We used Facebook live, YouTube Live, Instagram Live and even periscope to stream as many of the NATA 2018 Expo Interviews as possible.

How can we do better?  How can we improve the health care we are providing? When Jonathan Reidy asked this question at his high school he started putting together a plan to mimic the NFL eye in the sky plan to have an injury spotter in the booth that can help identify injuries. His program is probably similar to most high schools that have a full time athletic trainer. They also have a team doc that has several medical students committed to being part of the game night treatment and care. This might not work in all schools, but unless you try it out then you never know. We are broadcasting live from the 2018 NATA expo in New Orleans.

Do you know your Local ER Doctor? Here in Houston we have a HUGE medical center and tons of small ER clinics and facilities.  There is likely no way I could meet and know each ER Doctor in my area.  Dr. Gail Margerum is a fan of the Sports Medicine Broadcast and and reached out to share some knowledge after an episode where someone discussed a blown retina. Dr. Gail did not know much about Athletic Trainers until she started listening to the show.  Now she is ready and waiting to build relationships with ATs. But I should know more of them and should really get to know the office manager and create and ED liaison in the event that we need to send kids there. I have not been very good about that historically. What can you do? Email me some of the things you have done or are doing to build the relationship with your local medical providers. I want to set up a schedule to where every …say Monday I am out of the school visiting local Medical facilities.  There is so much good in collaborating as medical professional.

Are you current on your Helmet Research? I could almost care less about the latest helmet research because I am not involved in the decision making. Helmets are not meant to protect against concussions.  The are intended to reduce facial and skull fractures. Current Helmet Research Devin Hamrick from Riddell is presenting current helmet research.   He shares what the company is doing and how they expect changes to come.  Similarly, Devin talks about the data they are gathering with “smart helmets.” Follow up interview Want to see the presentations: Here is the Google Drive folder containing  slides from Memorial Hermann Sports Medicine Update.     It would not be possible without a little help from my friends: Thanks to Bob Marley for continuing to allow us to record and interview the speakers.
