When you measure value by billing codes, you miss the bigger picture. Sometimes skipping a diagnostic study saves the hospital money. Sometimes one ultrasound tech shifts the entire workflow. And sometimes the change starts with a single physician willing to champion it. This clip is a reminder: collaboration it’s what drives real and sustainable progress. 🎧 Go to the Life of Flow podcast channel and watch the full episode #68!
In some rooms, confidence comes from instinct. In others, it comes from proof. This week’s episode challenges what we rely on in complex cases, especially when the answer is right in front of us, but we’re not in the habit of using it.

Vascular technologist Jill Sommerset and dual-registered cardiac and vascular sonographer, Abigail Mize, join us for a deep, practical conversation about one of the biggest shifts happening in CLI care right now. They break down how a simple but powerful technique, Pedal Acceleration Time (PAT), is helping clinicians move from image-based outcomes to physiology-based decisions. PAT isn’t just another number to collect. It’s changing how teams define success, when they choose to intervene, and how they decide a case is done. We also talk about the team dynamics that PAT helps uncover, the educational gaps that still need to be addressed, and what happens when technologists, physicians, and nurses start speaking the same language again. If you’re unfamiliar with PAT or want to dive deeper, we recommend this overview in Endovascular Today: 📄 Pedal Acceleration Time: Technique for Assessing Revascularization Efficacy 🎧 A must-listen for anyone who believes great outcomes are about more than what you see on a screen. 00:00 Meet Jill and Abby 06:18 What duplex reveals that angio can’t 12:06 IVUS isn't your get-out-of-jail-free card 32:05 When to step out of the case 33:05 What most training still gets wrong 36:00 How PAT is reshaping care, team dynamics, and long-term results 💡 Who Should Listen?

M*sturbation isn’t inherently the issue....but technique, dopamine response, and shame-based patterns are. When there’s no intention behind it, the impact goes beyond the body. The brain becomes desensitized, arousal drops, and confidence starts to erode. In Episode 67, we break down why intentional m*sturbation is essential, and how most men are unknowingly doing more harm than good. 🎧 Go to the Life of Flow podcast channel and watch the full episode #67!

It’s easy to call out a field for repeating the past, but it's harder to admit when progress doesn’t follow a straight line. That’s the reality of innovation. It loops, doubles back, and sometimes what looked like failure becomes the foundation for a better version years later, in another space entirely. This conversation peels back the layers on how coronary and peripheral have influenced each other more than most are willing to admit, and why that tension might be exactly what keeps us moving forward. 🎧 Go to the Life of Flow podcast channel and watch the full episode #66!
