Physicians at play:

Pitt Professor seeks to improve responsiveness with video game Remy Samuels Staff Writer

Imagine you are 80 years old and fall down a flight of stairs, fracturing many ribs. The doctor says your condition isn’t critical and sends you home with medication, but hours later you’re back at the hospital with respiratory failure and a life-threatening case of pneumonia.

This scenario is exactly what Dr. Deepika Mohan — assistant professor of

critical care medicine and surgery at Pitt — described as a “classic example” of the use of problem-solving gone awry when triaging a trauma patient.

In an attempt to help physicians recognize patients in need of higher levels of care, Mohan created “Night Shift” — a medical simulation game. Players take on the persona of an emergency medicine physician named Andy Jordan and make critical decisions based on the symptoms

of patients that arrive at the small community hospital.

Schell Games, a game development company located in Pittsburgh, collaborated with Mohan to design the program, which was funded by the National Institutes of Health. Mohan’s team of emergency medical physicians, trauma surgeons and behavioral scientists also helped with the project.

See Night Shift on page 2

The William Pitt Union briefly closed again after issues with a sprinkler Monday morning. The University released a comment via its official Twitter account at 5:53 a.m., saying the lower level and basement level of the building would be closed until further notice.

The two floors reopened less than two hours later. The Forbes Avenue entrance, however, remains closed as of Monday night and is marked off with caution tape. University maintenance was able to clear the mound of ceiling panels and insulation that littered the entrance floor from the early hours of Monday morning, however the gaping hole in the ceiling still remains. A university spokesperson could not be reached in time for publication to get information on when the entrance will be reopen.

This marks the second time in two days that parts of the William Pitt Union had to close. While students were still returning back to campus before the official start of the spring semester, a waterline broke Sunday, Jan. 7, causing flooding in some areas of the bottom two floors. Water streamed across the walkway above the Union’s ticket office and flowed down the stairs to the lower level and basement level floors. Pitt tweeted about the building’s closing, and said repairs were made immediately so the Union could be opened Monday morning.

“[My team] was trying to figure out a strategy to change physicians’ heuristics in trauma, and there just isn’t really any good strategies out there,” Mohan said.

“I came across different ideas through literature where people were trying to change heuristics through different domains, and one of them was storytelling.”

Mohan said she learned that creating a compelling narrative that people can engage with has the power to change people’s behavior. She knew she wanted to produce something interactive and immersive, so she decided a simulation video game that mimics a real-life hospital was fitting.

“The thing that’s happening in the game is that if you make a mistake you get immediate feedback from a family member,” Mahon said. “The idea is to make the feedback feel memorable and personally relevant [to] show doctors the consequences of their actions.”

Mohan said the crux of the problem is that physicians rarely see severely injured patients in small hospitals, such as UPMC St. Margaret — only one patient out of the hundreds and thousands they see may be badly hurt. These physicians also do not receive feedback on their decision-making because most of the time they do not oversee the patient’s entire stay.

For her study on the effectiveness of the game, Mohan gave iPads to and evaluated 295 physicians, half of whom were randomly chosen to play “Night Shift.”

The rest of the physicians completed an educational application — an online review of chapters in a textbook with videos and multiple-choice tests.

She found that people who played the game made fewer diagnostic errors than those who used the educational application, accrediting some of the game’s effectiveness to its simplicity.

“We tried to stay away from giving a lot of facts and figures because people don’t learn that way,” Mohan said. “In-

Shift” at Schell Games, said the game is formatted like a two-dimensional dollhouse. Players can see a cross section of a building and walk left or right or take elevators to go to patients’ rooms. They then do a primary exam in the form of a chat.

“If you repeatedly tap on a spot, it performs chest compressions, or you can apply pressure somewhere and ask [the

real life scenarios.”

After assessing the condition of the patient, the player must decide whether to discharge them, admit them to the hospital or transfer them to a trauma center.

“Night Shift” also incorporates a mystery aspect to it, where players have to uncover the disappearance of Andy Jordan’s grandfather. Mohan this was

included to make people identify with the characters in the game.

“If you get feedback about your performance and you don’t really care about the character, then it’s just irrelevant,” Mohan said. “But if you identify with the character then it becomes very relevant and therefore memorable.”

But Mohan said the reception of the game from physicians was somewhat mixed. She said 91 percent of the doctors who used the educational program were happy with their experience. Only 40 percent said they had a positive experience with the game. The other 60 percent found it frustrating.

“A lot of people said they don’t play video games and didn’t understand the purpose of it,” Mohan said. “People were like, ‘What’s up with Andy and his grandfather?’ People thought it was distracting, frivolous or annoying.”

Ksiazkiewicz said these mixed responses probably mean people like different types of games and that it is difficult to please an entire demographic.

Despite some of the negative reactions, Mohan said she was proud that physicians were willing to participate.

Brooke Morrill, the director of education at Schell Games, also said she was excited about the game’s positive learning impact and the opportunity to receive feedback, which she said does not happen often in the game industry.

“As a studio we work on a really good mix of entertainment- and educationfocused games and our goal is always to bridge those two,” Morrill said.

Mohan said she hopes to create more versions of the game and has already collaborated with Schell Games again to design a logic puzzle version of “Night Shift.”

“I think [the issue] has to do with how we recognize injury,” Mohan said.

“I didn’t frame the game as a way to improve [physicians’] skills but as a way to help with decision-making. There’s not a lot of literature out there on how to build a game so we’re really doing something unusual.”

Women in Hollywood won’t solve sexism alone

Henry Glitz

Opinions Editor Hating on Hollywood — the home of the unattainably beautiful and fabulously wealthy — has always been easy for those of us living in Pittsburgh’s somewhat colder climate. But with last weekend’s Golden Globe Awards marking the end of a year full of scandals and sexual misconduct in the entertainment industry, recent critiques seemed especially pointed.

Mere days before actors and actresses dressed all in black promenaded into the Beverly Hills Hotel, which hosted the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s awards ceremony Sunday evening, a team of people, led by Los Angeles street artist Sabo, blanketed the city with posters accusing specific individuals in the industry of wrongdoing.

“She knew,” one bright red strip read, covering an image of actress Meryl Streep’s face.

“Caution, Pedophiles Ahead,” another sign read.

Farther afield, criticisms might have been less immediately stinging — but were nevertheless just as harsh. The movement prompting attendees to wear black, intended to draw attention to the victims of sexual assault in the industry who have come forward since accusations surfaced in October against movie producer Harvey Weinstein, drew criticism for superficiality, among other complaints.

Most of the critics of Hollywood’s showy penance had a point: what, after all, happened because of the stars’ act of solidarity? It’s probably true that women in show business could have done more — Slate staff writer Christina Cauterucci suggested a whole list of more disruptive actions that “actually affected the audience’s viewing experience or asked some small sacrifice of the participants.”

Yet the question remains — why focus with such intensity on the actions of women in Hollywood? It’s hardly believable that Meryl Streep, or any of the other women

in positions of power — can lead to very negative consequences for individuals who don’t commit themselves symbolically.

Blanca Blanco, an actress who attended Sunday’s awards ceremony in a red dress, faced massive public backlash for her apparent insufficient commitment to the cause of fighting sexual abuse in entertainment.

In the aftermath of her fashion faux pas, Blanco made a connection between the pushback for her dress and the toxic culture that allows sexual assault to flourish in Hollywood in the first place.

“Shaming is part of the problem,” she told Fox News in an interview yesterday. “It hurts my feelings, but I guess it’s part of being in our industry.”

Not only does an excess of critique for the prominent individuals at Sunday’s Golden Globes ceremony harm the women we can see on the screens in our living rooms and movie theaters, it hurts many more who face the same struggles. Comedian and master of ceremonies Seth Meyers alluded to that untold number in his monologues Sunday evening.

“This movement understands that what tarnished our world this year tarnishes so many others and is reaching out to help them, too,” Meyers said. “People in this Meryl Streep and Ai-jen Poo arrive at the 75th annual Golden Globes at room worked really hard to get here, but it’s the Beverly Hilton hotel in Beverly Hills, California, Sunday, Jan. 7, 2018. clear now than ever before that the women Jay L.

SODA CLUB CREATES ITS OWN GENRE Sarah Connor Staff Writer

Jarrett Krause opened the doors to his classroom at Beth Shalom Early Learning Center in Squirrel Hill Friday morning. His prekindergarten students drew colorful, scribbly pictures and asked him about his long, curly hair.

One day later, the 2015 Pitt alumnus was tossing that same curly hair onstage at the Mr. Roboto Project concert venue in Bloomfield with his band Soda Club — entertaining an audience of loyal friends and fans who came out in the chilling, singledigit weather to hear the group’s set. Clutching the saxophone, which he might only be seen without when he is in the classroom, Krause brought an innovative twist to the indie-pop quartet with jazzy sax solos and his smooth, deep singing voice.

“Never going back again / I’m going to nowhere / I love you my friend,” he sang in unison with the petite girl holding a ukulele next to him on stage.

Soda Club, a band composed of three recent Pitt graduates and one student currently attending Pitt, has made a solid name for itself within the Pittsburgh DIY music scene by creating its own style of music, blending traditional pop music with instrumental jazz influences.

Mason Jaynes, a student at Pitt’s School of Pharmacy and the band’s drummer, said the group itself has not identified its genre yet because it borrows from an unusual mixture of several different styles. Along with Soda Club’s bassist Tosh Chambers, a 2016 Pitt graduate, Jaynes has adjusted his playing style to a more smooth pop sound, differing from the punk band the pair formerly played in.

Shay Park, Soda Club’s lead vocalist, guitarist and ukulele player, as well as a 2016 Pitt graduate, agreed with Jaynes that their style is hard to pin down. She spoke about how the label of the band can range anywhere from indie to pop to “saxpop,” a term coined just for Soda Club.

Krause, Soda Club has come out of shows like that with even more fans.

“I was amazed that so many people came to the show through the cold,” Park said. “I was telling my friends not to come because it was so cold.”

At the Mr. Roboto Project, a concert and art venue that functions with a volunteeronly staff, the cold was creeping in as music fans continuously opened the door of the small facility to start their evening. Spectators kept their jackets, beanies and gloves on as they applauded the musicians performing in the chilly room. Park even kept her winter hat on throughout Soda Club’s set.

The group decided to pay homage to the cold by playing a fan favorite called “Pittsburgh Song.” Park opened with the lyric, “Pittsburgh’s effing cold you know,” and continued the song by singing about dreams of dealing with the cold in New York.

“We’ve only played that song live maybe three of four times, but people always seem to gravitate toward it,” Park said. “They’ll come up to me after the show and tell me it was their favorite song.”

In the year and a half that Soda Club has Indie-pop quartet Soda Club performed in chilly temperatures at the been together, the group has attracted a folMr. Roboto Project Saturday evening.

genre-bending sound. A Soda Club song starts with Park’s vocals and ukulele or guitar, and the other instruments work their way into the song. In this structure, a saxophone solo from Krause, the band’s founding member, is almost always featured.

Soda Club came to be when Krause approached Park about continuing with his music career after he graduated from Pitt in 2015, and thus parted ways with Pitt Band.

A musician since his elementary school days, he couldn’t envision his life without music. At that point, he and Park decided they were going to team up to create music.

“The year after I got out of college and didn’t have marching band and didn’t have the sort of social network that comes with it, I thought ‘Oh my god, I need to do something music-related.’” Krause said. “And that was when Shay and I started playing music together,” Park chimed in, recalling this pivotal idea that would soon become Soda Club.

“I remember you had come to me about it, and I was just wondering how it was going to work with ukulele and saxophone,” Park said. “That was when Tosh and Mason emerged to help us out with that.”

Many of the songs Soda Club performed Saturday came from the group’s brand new EP, which features four original songs coming out on Bandcamp Feb. 2. To celebrate this release, the band will be playing a show that day at The Bushnell with a few other local bands, including Pinstripe Sunny and Buffalo Rose.

Moving forward, the future of Soda Club is unclear. Much to the disappointment of Soda Club fans and her bandmates, Park is looking to fulfill her dream of attending graduate school in New York City in fall 2018.

In light of this possible deadline, the band is cranking out what it believes to be its best music on the new EP, which is titled “Enjoy.” From the band’s early days together, writing songs fit for recording was the goal.

“The first or second time we practiced together, we wrote a song and we thought, ‘Wow, people would actually clap if they hear us play that,” Krause said. “And now songs that people clap for are recorded on the EP, which is the best feeling now that we’ve come this far.”

for the entirety of the game, and that can be frustrating. But if Stallings had just saved it for the postgame press conference, he would have had the chance to formulate something better to say than a cheap comeback during the game.

Stallings was asked about what he said during the postgame press conference.

“Somebody said something bad about my players. I’m just going to stick up for my players,” Stallings said. “[I] probably said the wrong thing, but I’m not going to let people talk crap about my players.”

Stallings was speaking up for his players, as a good coach should. The motivation for his outburst is what separates this incident from the one with Baldwin.

At Vanderbilt, Stallings was attacking one of his own players — in this case, he’s defending them.

Stallings has a reputation as a fiery guy on the court, but we see here he cares deeply for his players. But there is a better time, place and way to go about doing that than snapping back on a whim during a game.

“We’re down, the game’s over with, you don’t need to insult kids who are out there trying to fight hard and do their best,” Stallings said. “So like I said, I probably should have chosen some different words, but I’m not going to let people take shots at our players.”

Stallings seemingly admitted he knows what he said was unnecessary quip at an inappropriate time. He continues to back up the players, though, which is crucial for a team that isn’t doing so well regarding its record.

Stallings needs to make smarter decisions than this while in the spotlight during a game. As long as he supports the players, it’s okay for Stallings to say what he said — it just needs to be in the right setting.
