The Debbie Nigro Show
Ever see something so fun and fabulous that you just need to know more? That’s exactly what happened when I spotted a bright red Moke pulling up at a swanky beach club in Delray Beach, Florida. Part golf cart, part beach cruiser, and 100% head-turner. Naturally, I did what any curious gal would do—I took a picture, went down a rabbit hole of info, and landed right at Moke America. Turns out, the Moke isn’t new—it’s iconic! Originally a British military vehicle (yes, parachuted out of airplanes), it’s now an all-electric, open-air, customizable dream ride....

info_outlineIn 2022, Dr. Lauren Ramsey, a Texas-based breast surgical oncologist, lost a close friend and fellow surgeon to breast cancer. This tragic loss spurred her mission to protect women healthcare workers who face unique occupational risks.
Recognizing that women orthopedic surgeons are nearly three times more likely to develop breast cancer than the general population, Dr. Ramsey innovated the BAT shield—a T-shirt-style radiation protection garment designed specifically for women in healthcare.
Unlike traditional protective aprons, the BAT shield offers targeted protection for high-risk areas: the breasts, axilla, and thyroid.
Clinical testing showed it reduced radiation exposure in the near-breast area by up to 97%, setting a new standard for healthcare safety.
Partnering with Burlington Medical, a leader in radiation protective gear, Dr. Ramsey's BAT shield is now available in hospitals across Texas and through national vendors where Burlington Medical is supplied.
The BAT shield’s comfortable fit, mesh panels, and 15 size options ensure flexibility and cooling comfort for long hours in the operating room. Dr. Ramsey’s goal is to make this garment a standard for all healthcare professionals, from doctors to nurses to radiologic technologists, who are exposed to radiation daily.
Dr. Ramsey’s innovation highlights her dedication to protecting healthcare workers while advancing safety standards in the medical field.
Meet this brilliant surgeon and now inventor on The Debbie Nigro Show.
