<p class="p1">The emergency mind is cool under pressure. But how do you get there? For most us, it’s not an innate skill. Dan Dworkis MD, PhD lays out the path: graduated pressure, deliberate training, tired moves, and acknowledging the suboptimal.</p> <p class="p5"><strong>Guest Bio:</strong> Dan Dworkis MD, PhD is an emergency physician who is a clinical professor of emergency medicine at USC Keck School of Medicine. He's also host of the <a href= "https://soundcloud.com/emergencymind/episode-1"><span class= "s3">Emergency Mind podcast</span></a> that focuses on helping individuals and teams perform better under pressure and the author of <a href="https://www.emergencymind.com/book"><span class= "s3">The Emergency Mind: Wiring Your Brain for Performance Under Pressure</span></a>. </p> <p class="p6"><strong>This episode is in support of</strong> the <a href="https://iamals.org/"><span class="s3">I AM ALS</span></a>. I AM ALS was founded by Brian Wallach and his wife Sandra shortly after his diagnosis at the age of 37. He was given 6 months to live, and now 4 years later he is leading a revolution to find a cure. People often refer to ALS as rare, which is not really so. The lifetime risk is around 1 in 300. Since Lou Gehrig was diagnosed 80 years ago, available treatments have been shown to extend life a mere 3 months. <a href= "https://iamals.org/"><span class="s3">I AM ALS</span></a> supports research, legislation to fast track therapies, and provides critical resources to patients and caregivers. ALS is relentless, and so are they. The question is no longer if we'll find a cure for ALS, but when. This is an underfunded disease and every little bit makes a difference. We will match donations to I AM ALS up to $5000 -- <a href="https://iamals.org/action/stimulus/"><span class= "s3">get started here on our Stimulus Donation Page</span></a>.
