A really powerful, emotional investigation into issues plaguing the pediatric mental health system: specifically, the lack of a robust pediatric mental health system in this county. Saw it with a panel discussion from the filmmaker and local mental health providers—it’s also been screened for multiple health care organizations and government officials, and it needs to be seen by more. The filmmakers sat down with the parents of pediatric psych ED patients, as well as adult former patients, hospital staff and administrators, and a bipartisan pair of lawmakers. The key message: an underdeveloped system forces children who need intense psychiatric support to languish in ERs around the country, waiting for placement in what may only be a few long term treatment beds in an entire state. It’s a terrible system, and everyone involved realizes it, but are hampered by severely access to long term psychiatric care of any sort, let alone for children. It’s rare for a doc about the failures of the medical system to feature so many figures from within prominent hospital systems stating so openly that they know how clearly they’re failing their patients—it clearly frustrates and bothers these provides, staff and administrators that they’re unable to provide the care they know will help, but can’t send patients anywhere else to get it. It’s effective evidence of how bad the problem has become. The film presents compelling patient and parent experiences on how ER boarding of children with psychiatric illness not only doesn’t help, but worsens problems, and how it stands in stark contrast to the ways the health care system is resourced to address medical needs (as a adult neurologist, I can say with confidence that the system is not always great at that either, but the point the film makes is strong nonetheless). While clear answers are not easy to come by, the filmmakers bring out some voices that are working to improve the system, while making a strong case for the necessity of greater public attention and advocacy. There is considerably more to investigate here, including the roots of the problem, the factors that have increased it over time, and the reasons as to which states fail to provide services that existing law requires, not to mention more in-depth analysis of possible solutions.

With a diagnosis of both, OCD and Bipolar Disorder, and with the help of his anxious friend, Adam Coad, these Australian singer-songwriters share, through original music, preposterous humour, and outlandish animations, the intricate and debilitating nature of what it is like to live and talk about mental illness in a world where it’s ok to talk about a broken arm, but not ok to talk about a broken mind.

1001 Cuts

The daughters of Title IX discover that pervasive gender-based stereotypes and discrimination persist within the high stakes professional world of surgery - a workplace designed for and and still controlled by men. Since 2003, half of medical students in the US have been women. Women remain in the minority in most surgical fields but their proportion is increasing. Leadership and culture in surgery remain disproportionately and persistently male despite ample evidence that women are just as good (and possibly better) at delivering care. Systemic barriers to success for women surgeons must be confronted and addressed for the surgical workforce to stay healthy and for patients to stay safe. We’ve interviewed dozens of surgeons who are women about their experiences, hopes, dreams and careers. This is a group of extraordinarily dedicated physicians who work every day to improve the health and lives of others despite untold challenges.
