   Operating at the Edge: Where Medicine Meets Spaceflight

   What happens to the human body in the most extreme environments? In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Scott Parazynski – physician, innovator and former NASA astronaut – for a conversation that goes far beyond the operating room. Dr. Parazynski shares insight from his time at NASA, his medical training, and his work at the intersection of tech and human performance. We discuss decision-making in high-stakes environments, how teams operate when there’s no room for error, and what clinicians can learn from spaceflight about resilience, monitoring, and pushing the limits of what’s possible. ______________ Visit our landing page!

   From Judgment to Prediction: Can We Predict Healing?

   Dr. Samir Mehta joins Under Pressure for a conversation on orthopaedic trauma, surgical judgment, innovation, and the evolving role of data in medicine. From teaching residents and building expertise in high-pressure environments to advancing personalized approaches for predicting fracture healing, Dr. Mehta shares insights from decades of experience in trauma care and education. We also explore how orthopaedic surgery has changed over time, what separates technical skill from true clinical judgment, and why some of the most important lessons in medicine happen outside the operating room.
