Handling Deployment US Air Force Boss Lift program offers taste of reserve life BY CINDY ABOLE Public Relations
O
utpatient Neurosciences nurse manager Deb Adams has a newfound appreciation for nurse and weekend warrior Rick Bennett. Adams met Bennett for the first time last fall after completing a four-month military deployment with the 315th Airlift Wing, Joint Base Charleston. Bennett is a 29-year Air Force Reserve master sergeant and flight medic assigned to the 315th Aeromedical Evacuation (AME) Squadron. In December, Bennett invited Adams to participate in the U.S. Air Force’s (USAF) Boss Lift program, Jan. 13-14. Adams was selected as an alternate and later chosen to make the flight experience. The program allows employers and civic leaders to participate in a two-day training mission, educational program and readiness demonstration showcasing the skills and medical training needed to perform life-saving medical transport missions. Adams believes the Boss Lift program draws employers and community leaders together
as they continue to support hundreds of thousands of working men and women who also serve in uniform. “The experience certainly provided me with a glimpse of how these brave individuals

conduct their mission while holding down the responsibility of family and full-time jobs, and other community commitments. Their dedication to serve our country as well as other responsibilities is admirable,” said Adams, who has worked 17 years as an MUSC nurse. Bennett, who trains monthly with the reserves, also was pleased Adams committed to this rare experience. A Charleston native and experienced veteran of several campaigns from Desert Shield and Storm to Operation Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom, Bennett had offered this experience to previous managers. Adams was the first manager to jump at the opportunity. On Jan. 13, Adams reported at 6:30 a.m. to the Charleston Air Force Base (AFB) to meet with other Lowcountry participants for the trip. Luckily, Bennett’s squadron was training simultaneously and was assigned with the Boss Lift mission. The itinerary began with a stop at the 919th Special Operations Wing at Duke Field, Fla., to retrieve more participants before proceeding west to Nellis AFB, just See Deployment on page 8

“My Grandfather’s Blessings” by Rachel Naomi Remen, M.D., explores the art of medicine in this book that captures the wisdom she gleaned from her Jewish grandfather, a scholar of the Kabbalah, who saw life as a web of connection where our duty is to find ways to bless one another. Remen found ways to make this work in her practice as a cancer physician and reveals through her powerful talent of storytelling how potently this can play out in the lives of patients who have health-care providers willing to see that web. This is a must read for anyone in the health care profession or for anyone looking for ways to open the soul to the powers of healing. Reviewer: Dawn Brazell, PR

MUSC’s VP for academic affairs, provost named
Dr. Mark Sothmann effectively with the rest of the leadership team,” Greenberg said. Sothmann earned his bachelor of science in history
from the University of Northern Iowa, a master of science in 1976 and a doctorate of psychology in 1982 in exercise science with concentration in biochemistry, both degrees from Purdue University. He moved to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 1982 and developed the Exercise Research Laboratory where he spent 13 years on the faculty conducting his research in exercise biochemistry and studying human performance in extreme environments. He also held clinical faculty appointments in the Department of Medicine at the University of Wisconsin Medical School and the Department of Preventive Medicine at the Medical College of Wisconsin. Sothmann moved to Indiana University in 1995 as professor and held the administrative appointments of associate dean in the Indiana University School of Medicine from 1997 through 2004, and founding dean of the Indiana University School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences from 2004 through 2007. He was a founding faculty member of the Indiana University School of Informatics and secured federal funding to create the Indiana Center for Rehabilitation Sciences and Engineering Research. He assumed his present position in 2007 as professor and dean in the College of Health Professions. Effective July 1, 2010, Sothmann assumed the administrative appointment of interim vice president for academic affairs and provost.

Mark S. Sothmann, Ph.D., has been appointed into the permanent role of MUSC’s vice president of academic affairs and provost. This appointment becomes effective with the approval of the board of trustees at its next meeting on April 8. Sothmann has been serving as interim provost for the past eight months. “Dr. Sothmann has repeatedly shown that he is a thoughtful decision-maker and that he is a consensus builder,” said MUSC President Ray Greenberg, M.D., Ph.D. “Most noteworthy among his accomplishments as interim provost are the successful negotiations of a revised post-tenure review process and the development and refinement of a new financial model for resource flow within the institution.” Upon the departure of former provost John Raymond, M.D., a national search was launched for his successor. The search committee included a broad range of representatives from across campus and was chaired by College of Nursing Dean Gail Stuart, Ph.D., R.N. Among the applicants, four finalists were selected because of their extensive and impressive academic administrative experience. “Given the many challenges that MUSC faces at this time, we thought the institution was best served by the appointment of someone with a deep understanding of local issues and demonstrated skill in working

Crisis Ministries offers chance to visit real patients Editor’s Note: Chelsey Baldwin of Little River is a firstyear medical student. This column follows the journey of her class in becoming doctors.
B
y some lucky chance I made it to class early the morning the Crisis Ministries sign-up sheet was posted in Baruch Auditorium. I have been commonly disappointed to find that I had been beaten to the chase by my classmates every time prior to this. My discovery did not go unnoticed by others for long. A swarm quickly accumulated, and I luckily was Chelsey Baldwin able to acquire a spot the same evening as a few of my friends from class. As I have mentioned in previous articles, we are all too eager to see real patients. I say “real” for the fact that we are extremely familiar with the standardized patient. Standardized patients are trained to play the role of a patient and then, often to my dismay, report back detailed feedback about our examination and interviewing skills. Real patients, though, I was sure would be excited to talk to me and never notice the subtle mistakes in technique that I would make or so I had built up the encounter in my mind before arriving at Crisis Ministries. In some ways my idealization of the interactions with patients was correct, and yet in other ways I couldn’t have come close to predicting the impact the encounters with the patients at Crisis Ministries would have on me. I was right in thinking that these patients wouldn’t be particular about noting
Medical musings
the mistakes I would make, however the attending physician was sure to note them. Making mistakes is a great way to learn, and so for that reason I was thankful for the constructive criticism. As for the enthusiasm of the patients to talk with us, it was surprisingly low. I got the impression that this was a situation of going to see the “doctor” or else. Mrs. X, my first patient, informed me that she hates to come to see the doctor. She went on to explain the horrible circumstances that landed her at Crisis Ministries. While we were able to treat her for the problem she presented with, I was saddened that we couldn’t do more for her. Next I went on to see a patient in whom we were unable to reproduce the symptoms of which he complained. Therefore we were unable to do anything for him. His apparent disappointment translated into my own. Slightly downtrodden, I went to see the final patient of the night, Mr. Y. This interview went surprisingly well, and I was sure that I had picked up on a possible underlying presence of diabetes. However, this was not the cause of the patient’s presentation to the clinic and therefore was not presented to the attending physician. Instead, the patient’s immediate condition was treated. At first, I was satisfied with this approach for the fact that the patient seemed opposed to any further examinations, especially those associated with the word “diabetes,” the reason for which I would later discover. I also feared the possibility of being wrong and therefore wasting the attending physician’s time. Mr. Y was examined by the physician, and then my second-year mentor and I returned to explain the treatment plan to the patient. Mr. Y went on to inquire about the meaning of high glucose levels noted in his
urine in the past. My stomach sank. I had incorrectly ignored my instincts. Mr. Y explained that he avoided ever following up the test out of fear that it could mean a diagnosis of diabetes. Mr. Y elaborated that he had a family history of the condition and was afraid of having it too. Being the final patient of the evening, and with the attending physician having taken his leave after solving Mr. Y’s problems to the best of this knowledge, we were left in a helpless state. I couldn’t help but feel like we failed Mr. Y. I had let my own fears of criticism and being made to look foolish keep me from speaking up. I made him promise to bring up these questions next week when he returned for his follow-up, and yet I feared that he would not. Afterward, I rode home with my friends Tracy Tholanikunnel and Steven Hill, fellow first-year students and dear friends. I opted out of our plans to grab a beer afterward to reward ourselves for a long day of hard work. Instead I went home to agonize over my time at Crisis Ministries. It took me several days to see the good in the experience that I had that night, and yet there was much to be appreciated. We successfully treated two out of three patients. I had written my first assessment forms of notes and prescription. Plus I was exposed to ethical issues pertaining to patient autonomy. We cannot force our patients to take treatment for which they do not wish to receive, and I must be prepared for that. However, this doesn’t detract from the saddening fact that those who need our help the most seem to be the least willing to take it. Finally, I learned that the support of my peers is endless, and I will always be thankful for the sympathies and advice of my peers that accompanied me to Crisis Ministries that evening.
DDC team models hand washing, lowering infection rates Ashley River Tower’s sixth floor Digestive Disease Acute Care Unit has organized an interactive method of success to improve hand hygiene. Team Scrub, as the group was called, was inspired to tackle this due to low performance measures for hand hygiene; inconsistent compliance to isolation procedures for both staff and visitors; being at risk for increased rates of hospital antibiotic-resistant organisms such as Vancomycin Resistant Enterocci (VRE) and Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA); and the challenge of staff education with rotating medical and health professions students in the unit. The unit-based hand hygiene team set goals to reduce VRE and
MRSA infection rates by 30 percent by June, achieve 80 percent hand hygiene compliance by June, plus improve staff, patient and visitor compliance to the unit’s contact isolation policy. “The program made employees more aware of what’s expected of them with hand hygiene and keeping patients and staff safe,” said Janine Hubbard, 6East. Throughout the reporting period, audit data showed that ART 6th floor staff was mostly above compliance rates. To initiate change, the team promoted a hand washing blitz that included audits, games, contests and patient and staff education. As a result, the unit saw a vast improvement to their hand hygiene compliance rates.
Team Scrub members include Krystal Myers, from bottom, Pat Brown, Janine Hubbard, Krissie Spann, Sally Key and Ryan Dennis. Their ideas were adopted throughout the medical center enterprise to initiate a centerwide hand hygiene initiative that’s required by the Joint Commission. Not pictured are Jennifer Weeks, Jessica Weigel and Kristine Miles.

‘Making a difference every day’ Employees of the Month Alison Spencer, Volunteer & Guest Services “When rounding on Alison last week, she told me she had a very nice experience with a guest that week and how he had come in and given her a box of chocolates. When I asked why, she told me his story: This elderly man was visiting his wife on MICU. He traveled in from Pawley’s Island very early that morning. That afternoon when he went to return home, his car in the parking garage wouldn't start. He came back into the hospital and Alison assisted him with contacting a wrecker that could tow the car and take him back home. He was distraught about his dog he left at home (not expecting to be returning so late). He knew the dog had to go out, but he didn't have any phone numbers of his neighbors on him. Alison looked up all the neighbor's he could recall by name and phoned them until she found someone that could let his dog out. The next day, he came back to the hospital and gave her a box of chocolates for being so kind to him. Nominated by Katy Kuder

“Linda and Susan are always willing to go above and beyond. A recent example involved a patient who was discharged from ART. There was some confusion with the patient’s wife as to what pharmacy the prescriptions were being sent to. When the patient’s wife went to her Walgreens in Summerville, and they didn't have her husband’s medicine, she called back to MUSC to see where the medications were. The confusion was uncovered. They were ready in our pharmacy. Susan asked Linda, her coworker, to take the medications to the patient and his wife to prevent them from driving back on I-26 during rush hour in the rain.

Since 9-11, MUSC and a majority of employers around the country
have shared a favorable attitude with employees who work in the National Guard and Reserves. Overall, many have learned how to manage prolonged absences and increased workloads during a reservist-employee’s deployment, according to June Darby, R.N., Neuroscience Service Line administrator.

outside of Las Vegas. During the three-hour flight, participants watched as Bennett and the 315th’s Aeromedical Evacuation crew practiced and demonstrated their skills in treating and caring for critically ill or injured airmen or soldiers who were being transported for specialized medical care. The five-person AME team consists of a medical crew director, flight nurse and three medical technicians. They are experienced at providing comprehensive patient care and related tasks in flight within a configured cargo hold of a massive C-17 Globemaster III—one of several aircraft the squadron uses on its missions. The C-17 is considered a multipurpose military transport plane that can transport troops and cargo over long distances. Upon arrival at Nellis AFB, the group met for lunch, attended multiple briefings and demonstrations and toured the base. Nellis is home to the Air Force’s Air Combat Command, weapons school and its Air Demonstration Squadron, or the Thunderbirds. Among Adams’ trip highlights were
152-C Spring St. Just steps away from MUSC. High quality, low maintenance home with cement plank exterior. Hardwood floors throughout, granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances. 2 Bedrooms with 2 1/2 baths. Built in 2007. In excellent condition.
Darby, Adams and other nurse managers have relied on various resources such as the Medical University Flexibility team in providing temporary staffing support during an employee’s absence. The medical center supports more than 60 reserve-employees. “It was a chance of a lifetime to see what happens, especially the reserve training. I was both thrilled and honored in participating with this program,” Adams said. Within MUSC’s Neurosurgery and Neurosciences work area, Bennett is joined by three colleagues who also are military reservists—Michelle Baxter, 9 West, Gary “Beau” Mahanes, R.N., MUSC Stroke Program coordinator, and Mark McCaslin, clinical unit leader, Neurosciences Intensive Care Unit. Darby said the Boss Lift program is helpful for employers to better understand the job an employee performs while he or she is deployed. “It helps an employee share their military life with their manager and co-workers so they can understand their role and significance during the time that they are away.”

Registered Dietitian Day, also celebrated in March, increases awareness of registered dietitians as the indispensable providers of food and nutrition services and recognizes them for their commitment to helping people enjoy healthy lives. Employee Wellness is partnering with Sodexo and registered dietitians to celebrate National Nutrition Month in March with the campaign, MUSC Good Eats! The kickoff event is scheduled from noon to 1 p.m., March 2 under the portico.
