    Episode 215: Halloween Haunts at the Lead-Deadwood Hospital with Historian Nicole Shiffrar
    27 Oct 2026
    Monument Health Lead-Deadwood has cared for patients since 1897, making it the oldest hospital in South Dakota still in operation. Historian Nicole Shiffrar takes Mark through the original basement, the old crematorium, an abandoned surgical floor and the morgue with its creepy green tile. Back in the lobby they talk about the nuns who ran the hospital, the first iron lung in the state and famous Deadwood names who were once patients. It's a Halloween episode full of history and a few ghost stories.

Monument Health neurosurgeon Dr. Robert Ziechmann explains how deep brain stimulation helps patients with Parkinson’s disease and essential tremor get their lives back. He covers how the surgery works under anesthesia, what success looks like for each patient, and what’s next for this technology. Best of all, you no longer have to leave Rapid City to get it.

    Episode 213: Rapid City's First Epilepsy Monitoring Unit with Donald Barr, M.D.
    13 Oct 2026
    Until this year, families in western South Dakota had to drive to Minnesota or Colorado for epilepsy monitoring. Now Monument Health has opened the region's first epilepsy monitoring unit, right here in Rapid City. Epileptologist and neurology section chief Dr. Donald Barr talks about what happens during a five-day stay and why doctors sometimes want to trigger a seizure on purpose. He also covers the surgery that can actually cure epilepsy, and how watching his own father live with the disease shaped his career.
