Certified Emergency Care for Your Child

T

he Children’s Emergency Center, Mendy’s Place at John C. Lincoln Deer Valley Hospital, has been granted a Pediatric-Prepared Emergency Care (PPEC) certification. The certification from the Arizona Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics and Arizona Department of Health Services means that the facility:

Innovative Surgery

Saves Kidney Urologist uses da Vinci robot to remove tumor, reconstruct kidney

T

om Woistman was a lot more concerned about being on dialysis for the rest of his life than receiving an innovative kidney surgical reconstruction procedure his doctor had never done before. At age 72, the idea of being chained to a dialysis machine for four hours, three times a week, just wasn’t appealing to the Phoenix native. “Although I’m retired from a career as an air conditioning and plumbing project manager in the engineering field, I still have a full-time job as bus driver for my grandkids – which I love,” he said. “Dialysis would cut into that. “Also, my wife and I are active,” he continued. “We love to travel. You can make arrangements to get dialysis on the road, but it’s a hassle.”

Tom’s doctor, Michael Hayyeri, MD, is a partner at Central Arizona Urologists in Glendale; he has been practicing urological surgery for 14 years. He’s enthusiastic about his creative approach to his patient’s situation. “I hadn’t done a procedure like this before, but I thought about it, and it seemed like it could be accomplished successfully,” Dr. Hayyeri said. “That would certainly be a better outcome for the patient than the traditional treatment.” Tom was diagnosed with an early stage of an unusual kidney cancer known as transitional carcinoma of the kidney. That’s different from the more common renal cell carcinoma of the kidney, Dr. Hayyeri said. “Typically in this kind of kidney cancer, we remove the kidney and the ureter along with continued on Page 2

child for transfer to a facility that offers more specialized pediatric care.

“This certification confirms what our families already know — that our facility provides the highest level of quality care to the children of our community,” said Kathy Northrop, RN, BSN, director of Pediatrics and Mendy’s Place. Arizona is among only five states to implement such a specialized pediatric emergency care system. Created through a public-private partnership, PPEC is a voluntary certification program of pediatric standards for emergency departments. For more information, visit JCL.com/mendysplace.

the tumor,” Dr. Hayyeri said. “But if the patient’s other kidney cannot handle all the body’s needs, then we have to do additional surgery to implant a port so the patient can be on dialysis.” While dialysis is lifesaving and not painful, it can be harsh on patients, Dr. Hayyeri said. It can affect the heart and shorten lifespan. Diet and activities may be restricted. “I’m already diabetic with high blood pressure and liver problems,” Tom said. “I just didn’t want the hassle of dialysis on top of all that, and, mentally, I just didn’t want my kidney removed. So when Dr. Hayyeri told me he thought he could rebuild my kidney instead of removing it, I was all for it.”

> Less blood loss.

More Precision

The da Vinci Surgical System translates the surgeon’s hand movements in real time to its miniaturized instruments. Potential benefits for patients can include: > A shorter hospital stay. > Less risk of infection. > Fewer transfusions.

During a six-hour procedure at John C. Lincoln North Mountain Hospital, Dr. Hayyeri used the minimally invasive da Vinci Surgical System to remove Tom’s cancerous tumor. Then he reattached the ureter and literally put the rest of the kidney back together. “I’ve been using the da Vinci for about four years,” Dr. Hayyeri said. “It provides a much better view of the surgical

field and much more precision in operating procedures. I could not possibly have done this innovative procedure to save Mr. Woistman’s kidney without the da Vinci. “This surgery was really exciting,” he continued. “A lot of my colleagues were amazed and want me to make a video of the procedure so they can see how it’s done.” Tom was in the hospital for five days, recovering from the surgery. The first upside, he said, was losing 24 pounds. “I wouldn’t recommend this process as a weight loss plan for my friends,” he joked, “but it sure made my primary care doctor happy.” At 5 feet 11 inches tall, he was approaching 200 pounds before surgery. Now he’s down to a svelte 170. To maintain a healthy body weight, he plans to get a bicycle. But the best part, he said, is that his kidney function has not only been saved, it’s actually better than it was before surgery. “I’ve had several lab tests, and they all show that my kidney function has actually improved. And I feel absolutely great.” For more information, visit JCL.com/surgery.

‘Amazing’ Level III Trauma Care at Deer Valley Hospital

Angel Martinez snuggles with his daughter Audrina. Staff at the Level III Trauma Center at John C. Lincoln Deer Valley Hospital cared for him after his basketball injury.

A

ngel Martinez didn’t know he was being brought to a Level III Trauma Center when paramedics loaded him into the ambulance after shattering his ankle. But the 27-year-old Deer Valley resident is glad they did. “The care was amazing,” he said. “We got treated so quickly; the doctor came in right away. And everyone was so nice to me and my wife.” Martinez was playing basketball at a local gym in early March. As he jumped to dunk the ball, another player bumped into him. Martinez landed sideways on his ankle. “It was the worst pain in my life,” he said. “The X-rays showed it was broken in I don’t know how many places.” Paramedics brought Martinez to the new Level III Trauma Center at John C. Lincoln Deer Valley Hospital, which only a few weeks earlier had been recognized with provisional Trauma III status by the Arizona Department of Health Services Bureau of Emergency Medical Services and Trauma Systems.

More Resources and Staff

Preventing Injuries T

he Level III Trauma Center at Deer Valley Hospital will offer community programs in injury prevention similar to those presented by North Mountain’s Level 1 Trauma Center, said Trauma Program Manager Lori Moxon, RN, BSN. “Since this will be a Network endeavor, we plan to incorporate the many excellent community educational programs that focus on the cause and prevention of our major traumatic injuries,” she said. The same board-certified trauma surgeons who care for patients at the Level I Trauma Center at John C. Lincoln North Mountain Hospital are available within 30 minutes at Deer Valley Hospital.

Deer Valley’s Emergency Department care for traumatically injured patients was expanded and upgraded with additional resources and staff education. Level III requires surgeons on call to have Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) accreditation from the American College of Surgeons. ATLS teaches a standard approach for trauma assessment and treatment so the most time-critical interventions are performed first. “Our program is even better than that,” said hospital Medical Director Mary Ann Turley, DO. “Our trauma doctors are the same board-certified trauma surgeons who care for patients at the Level I Trauma Center at John C. Lincoln North Mountain Hospital.” John C. Lincoln’s trauma surgeons hold dual board certification in both critical care and trauma surgery. Anesthesiologists and trauma orthopedic surgeons are on call, available within 30 minutes.

Surgery Repairs Ankle In the Level III Trauma Center, Martinez was stabilized after receiving pain medication and completing medical imaging to evaluate the extent of his injury. The next day, surgeons put the shattered pieces of his ankle back together. He spent a total of three days in the hospital. His doctors said it would be close to six weeks before he could return to work manufacturing parts for airplanes. It may be a little longer before he’s back on the basketball court. Although he’s not crazy about the pain associated with the broken ankle, he wasn’t completely sad about recovering at home. “That gives me time to spend with my daughter Audrina,” he said. “She’s 18 months old, and she’s so beautiful.” For more information, visit JCL.com/news.

Medical Excellence Seth Leibsohn is enjoying good health today, thanks to efforts made by interventional cardiologist Gary Kauffman, MD, when Seth suffered a heart attack last Fall.

Heart Attack Symptoms > Discomfort – uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain – in the center of the chest. The discomfort lasts more than a few minutes or goes away and returns. > May include pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach. > Shortness of breath, with or without chest discomfort. > May include breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea or lightheadedness.

‘I Felt I Was In the Care of Angels Who Never Let Go’ The mysteries of the human heart have inspired poets and intrigued the rest of us since the dawn of time. Even in this day of advanced scientific knowledge, the heart is unpredictable. KKNT radio host and communications consultant Seth Leibsohn knows all about unexpected heart activity. With one exception, he was a role model for cardiac health. He ran every day with Dagny, his 3-year-old Brittany Spaniel, hit the gym three or four times a week, ate healthy and was not overweight. Last summer, he passed a cardiac stress test. Yet in November, at age 43, he suffered a massive heart attack. “It was a shock,” he said. “I was working at home and got a tremendous pain in my chest. I was sweating. I laid down on my marble floor, and it didn’t help. Then the pain went down my arms. That’s when I knew I was having a heart attack. I took an aspirin and called 9-1-1. Phoenix Fire was here in minutes and whisked me to John C. Lincoln.” “Our chest pain team works like the trauma team,” said interventional cardiologist Gary Kauffman, MD, medical director of Cardiology at North Mountain Hospital. “They respond very quickly when a heart attack patient arrives, and they follow protocols to be sure blood flow is restored to the heart muscle in less than 90 minutes, the national standard of care.” JCL.com

One of Seth’s three main arteries, the circumflex on the back side of his heart, was completely blocked, Dr. Kauffman said. If it had not been opened within the 90-minute window, Seth would have had severe heart damage and could have died. But the Cath Lab team led by Dr. Kauffman quickly inserted a stent, restoring blood flow. Seth went to the hospital’s Cardiovascular ICU. Three days later, he was home. “Everyone was amazing,” he said. “The staff in the ER rushed to save my life, but they were concerned about what else they could do for me, who they could call. “I was in the worst pain of my life and terrified,” he remembered. “Yet, from the very moment I was brought in, the entire staff, along with Dr. Kauffman, were wonderful. They were full of good cheer, assurances, help, you name it. “And the ICU was equally caring,” he continued. “I don’t know how I would have made it through the first night without my nurses who stayed with me, calmed me and talked with me. I felt I was in the care of angels who held my hand throughout the whole ordeal and never let go.” Today, Seth is hosting his “Arizona Politics and Culture” radio show, exercising, doing yoga and hiking or running daily with Dagny. Everything is back to the way it was — with one exception. “I quit smoking,” Seth said. “I’ll never do that again!” For more information, visit JCL.com/heart.

t’s nice to know that what you’re doing is making a difference in someone’s life,” said Katie Doyle, a Desert Mission Food Bank volunteer for the last six years. The retired nurse used to check on the development of premature infants once they got home. For the last six years, she has run the register and helped folks seeking emergency food boxes at the Food Bank at 9229 N. Fourth St., Phoenix. “I wanted to do something meaningful with my life,” she said about her volunteer decision. “When I’m at the Food Bank, I realize that there but for the grace of God go I.” One of approximately 130 volunteers, she watches their numbers drop each summer as snowbirds return home and residents vacation. Meanwhile, those in need continue to stream in the doors. “We started 2013 helping an average of 375 families a day,” said Food Bank Director Sharon Pierson. “If we stay on that trajectory, we’ll need 10 percent more volunteers this summer.” The same goes for donations of food and cash. The recession didn’t discriminate when it came to hardship. Food Bank clients range from those with low incomes to laid-off college graduates to individuals who formerly lived in wealthy suburbs.
