• 1:24
  Speaker 2: adapting story of twenty twenty four, which I read at
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: the end of twenty twenty four by Debbie Denon in
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: The New York Post. Deborah Denon of the New York
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Post with this amazing headline, Israel's war with Hamas has
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: resulted in some cutting edge, astonishing medical advancements.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: What does she mean?
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Well, the Israelis war in Gaza has spurred a wave
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: of healthcare innovations that are both reshaping mental and physical
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: recovery for soldiers and civilians. Denon rights from surgical robots
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: that remove bullets and shrapnel to three D printed prosthetics.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Three D printed prosthetics, How cool is that?
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: For rapid deployment to battlefield burn treatment developed my from pineapples.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: These technologies are redefining modern medicine and saving lives. These
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: stats are incredible. Since the war began, of course, late
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: two thousand and three, after the Hamas attack on Israel,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: twelve thousand soldiers have entered the Defense Ministry's rehab department.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Forty percent of these soldiers have sustained limb trauma and
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: a third facing psychological injuries such as anxiety, PTSD, depression,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: and psychosis twelve thousand soldiers. Think of that stat here
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: on the adapting future of the Lolling Up Network, and
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: you know what, You might think they're not, but I
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: will proudly say the idea of soldiers defending Israel, defending
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: even civilians, is from Hamas are heroes.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Cancel me, put my ratings down to four to three. Start,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: I don't care. They are heroes and.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: I'm so excited to see that Israel's, much like their
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: military technology, have also advanced the technology in recovery efforts
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: an injury recovery. I want to tell you the story
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: of Long Island native Aaron Bores, who actually has moved
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: to Israel back as a teenager to join the IDF
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: and ended up staying in the country. He describes his
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: first entry into Godza, weeks after Hamas's October sevent twenty
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: twenty three attack on southern Israel, as stepping into a
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Tolkien esque appa apocalyptic landscape. Just two weeks into his service,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Bors was shot while trying to rescue his commanding officer,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: who was killed at the scene. He barely survived, crawling
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: to safety while dragging his smashed legs.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: His smashed leg from the.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Initial fear of amputation to transitioning to a wheelchair and
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: then crutches and Nadawa kine Boards credits Israel's medical professionals
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: and technology for his recovery and saving his legs. If
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: this is not a great adapting story to start twenty
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: twenty five, show me something else. But this is really
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: hopeful that maybe the advance that was made by Israel
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: during this war could inspire United States hospitals and rehab
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: facilities and clinics to truly revolutionize the way.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: We have our technology. Now.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: I have to do my research and see if there
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: are any three three D printed prosthetics companies out there,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: because that is such a tool and such a good
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: form of three day technology, better than building a house
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: out of three day I'm just saying that American companies
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: need to know about this, and I'm so happy that
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Deborah Denan wrote about this because it brings awareness to
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: the struggles that are going on in this war in Israel,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: as well as the signs of hope.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: There's even more.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: There's what they call a mind move system by Israeli
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: startup six degrees, which alleviates.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Pain by tricking the brain into believing.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: The missing limb is moving.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: The missing limb is moving.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Patients wear lightweight bands and a VR headset, engaging in
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: games where a virtual version of their limb performs actions
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: activating the brain's motor and century circuits to reduce pain
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: and reliance on medication. Eighty eight percent of users report
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: significant pain relief from this mind move system. Again, American facilities, hospitals, clinics,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: are you listening to this?
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: We are an ally to Israel.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Why not our hospital systems, why not our clinics, our
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: facilities partner with these different companies to say, hey, how
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: do we bring these efforts to New York.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Or across the country.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: I should say, because imagine, imagine if we can calm
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: down the phantom pain that amputees face, even if they're not.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Affected by the war, but especially.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: For those American war veterans that are dealing with trauma
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: to this day from whatever they've had to go through.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: And then she writes, the technology for three D printing
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: prosthetics has been integrated into hospitals to crease prosthetics.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: In hours rather than weeks.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: This is very interesting to me because for those who
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: may not know, I, as a young kid had a prosthetic.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: I was born with one leg. I had a.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Prosthetic, but it was so old school. They had to
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: do the whole casting. They had to make sure my
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: body was fit to the bowl of the prosthetic, and
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: then I have to wear it, and of course it
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: was a heavy wear. But that took weeks and months
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: to actually do. And I credit my prosectis a Charlie
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: for those innovations back at the Viscardi school. But here
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: we are in twenty twenty five and I could talk
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: about prosthetics that are made in hours rather than weeks,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: hours rather than weeks. At Chiapa Medical Universities or Medical
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Center's three D Center, a precisely designed skull model was
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: manufactured to help surgeons re construct the facial structure of
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: IDF officer Omni Rosenbilt, who who severely was severely injured
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: in con Unis when a building collapsed on him. The
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: technology also helped him restore his vision. A military dog
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: also had a skull restructured when after they were injured
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: during a Gaza operation.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: This is impacting military dogs as well.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: She goes on to write Medtronic, an Israeli company, was
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: used created a robotic guidance system which was used to
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: remove a bullet lodginous souldiers sacrum the bone of the
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: base of the spine, avoiding paralysis, nerve damage, and lead poisoning.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: The minimal evasive procedure took just ninety minutes.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Ninety minutes. And I'm gonna.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Link this because all the names you should look into
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: and tell your local hospital, tell your local rehabitabley.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Tell your local clinic.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Ay.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: I read this story by Deborah.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Denon about how Israel's startups and medical companies are innovating
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: the way we treat injured veterans in their country, injured
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: soldiers in their country, and I think we should put
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: it and get them in our hospitals and places.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Here in America.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: We are allies with Israel, and I said a moment ago,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: so why not partner with them to further advance that
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: within our hospital system. And then finally, Israel's National Medical
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Emergency Service m DA Omegan David Adam has introduced whole
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: blood transfusions on the battlefield, making the IDF the first
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: military to implement this life saving practice right on the
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: battlefield by delivering comprehensive blood components red white blood cells, platelets,
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: plasma at the point of injury.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Survival rates for soldiers suffering.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Massive bleeding and trauma have reached an unpre precedented ninety
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: three percent. Ninety three percent of the IDF's lives are
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: being saved through this transfusion process. I love that Israel
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: is always having one leg up in whatever they're doing,
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: whether it's advancing their military technology, advancing now their medical technology.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: I just wish we would learn from them and not.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: Criticize them, because if we just opened our eyes and
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: saw what Israel was doing to protected soldiers, we'd be
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: far better off in this country if we adapted some
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: of these technologies in our own backyard. And that's how
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: we could have one leg up for our veterans is
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: by partnering with all of these medical innovations in Israel
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: for a better twenty twenty five. And yeah, it would
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: just give us one leg up in medical treatment that
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: we should have been on the ball with years ago.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: But thanks to deborahda and nom for writing this, for
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: bringing awareness to this because maybe if someone out there
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: listens to said, hey, let me know about more of
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: this company.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Well, their name's right in the article and it's linked here.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: So thanks for doing a service.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Deborda On inspired me to do a service on this
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: podcast today to tell you about what she says in
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: her title, Israel's war with Amas has resulted in some
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: cutting edge, astonishing medical advances. One leg up. Indeed, I'm
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Alex Garrett. Have a great rest of your day. And yes,
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: it is a day of morning here in America for
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: the late President Carter. A day before the funeral, and
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: I even saw downstairs Trinity Church here in Lower Manhattan
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: had the flags at half mast. So we all bow
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: our heads today in honor of Jimmy Carter on this
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: a day of national mourning
