FAST ACTION BY EMERGENCY MEDICAL SPECIALISTS
CORRECTS AN ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION IN A MAN’S HEART.
WILLIAM HARDY ESHBAUGH HASN’T YET MADE IT TO
Madagascar, but he still hopes to go. The retired Miami Univer-
sity professor, 79, had to cancel a recent trip because of a serious
problem with his heart. But now he’s hale and hearty once again.
Eshbaugh is known by his middle name—except to his former
botany students, who, because of his career-long study of chili
peppers, still call him Dr. Pepper. The fact that he’s healthy today is
largely due to fast-acting physicians at McCullough-Hyde Memorial
Hospital and Mercy Health, who made all the right diagnoses and
took the right actions when his heart began to fail.
He and his wife, Barbara, a retired social worker, have four
children and seven grandkids, one of whom was visiting from Mon-
tana last September to take a look at Miami U. “I was showing her
around campus, and in one building I could barely walk to the third
foor,” Eshbaugh says. A few hours later, he tried climbing stairs in
the rec center and couldn’t make it. “That was strange. We went
home, and my wife took my pulse,” he says. “It was 39.” He called
his family doctor, who told him to get to the emergency room at
MHMH.
He was met there by emergency medicine physician Nicole
White Malin, M.D. “It was her frst week there, I think—I’d just read
an article about her in the newspaper, so I must have been one of
her frst patients,” he says. Dr. Malin promptly took control of the
situation. “She was very attentive,” says Eshbaugh. “She knew what
was going on and, looking at everything very carefully, discussed
things with others in the room. And she was very personable.”
Dr. Malin was also correct in her diagnosis: an electrical signal-
ing problem in Eshbaugh’s heart muscle. After consulting with his
cardiologist (Eshbaugh had had a quadruple bypass 15 years ear-
lier, but this was unrelated), her team decided to medevac him to
Mercy Health. “The chopper came, and it took all of eight minutes
to get from Oxford to Mercy,” he says.
Two days after that, a pacemaker was implanted to take care of
the problem. “Now I am a bionic man,” he says. “I left the day after,
and have had no problems since.”
In fact, Eshbaugh made a trip to Antigua over the winter. And he
hasn’t given up on that journey to the island nation off the coast of
Africa, where he hopes to explore the botany.
In February, his pacemaker was set up to send data over his
phone to technicians, who will then adjust its settings if necessary.
“If that isn’t bionic,” jokes “Dr. Pepper,” “I don’t know what is.”
Eshbaugh wants to thank everyone who cared for him last fall.
“The attentiveness of everyone in that ER—the staff processing me,
the people checking my EKG—was phenomenal,” he says. “When I
got into the hospital room, that was phenomenal too. You never re-
ally know what you have until you have to use it.”
THE BEAT IS BACK

in 1984 MArnE KinnEy of CAnTon
was a sophomore at Miami University.
Walking back to her friend’s dormitory after
a party one night, she was crossing a street
when a drunk driver sped through an inter-
section and hit her. first responders could
not fnd a pulse and at frst thought her
dead. She was covered with a blanket, and
after she was taken away a police outline of
her body was left in the road.
Today her name is Marne Kinney Par-
malee. At 51, she is a kindergarten teacher in
rochester, n.y. She and her husband, Scott,
52, an insurance rep, have two daughters in
their 20s—about the age she was that terri-
ble night. She defed many predictions about
her recovery, thanks to the emergency care
she got at McCullough-Hyde Memorial Hos-
pital after responders realized she was in fact
still alive. And in 2014, to honor the hospital’s
work 30 years before, Parmalee made an
unusual donation to the hospital—50 pairs of
warm, fuzzy socks—because the only com-
plaint she had during her recovery was that
her feet were cold.
Parmalee suffered three fractures to
her pelvis, another to her knee, a concus-
sion and facial lacerations so extensive that
“half of my face was a scab, with stitches
everywhere,” she says. She spent fve days
in the hospital and was told she likely would
not walk again or be able to have children.
“My Mo was to concentrate on beating the
odds on both of those things,” she says. “i
was a horrible patient. When people said
no, i became silently defant, telling myself,
‘We’ll see.’ it was all attitude. i never thought
i couldn’t do something.”
one memory that stuck with her all
through the years was that, during her re-
hab work, the foor was cold. “And recently
i thought, ‘i’ll bet other patients there are
feeling the same.’ Since it was the 30th an-
niversary of the accident, i wanted to send
some socks back there.”
She collected socks, some of them do-
nated by friends and family, and sent them
along with a letter saying who she was. “A
couple weeks later i heard from several dif-
ferent people at the hospital,” she says.
“They were really surprised. i expected
nothing more than a ‘thank you,’ but they
appreciated it beyond anything i imagined. it
was just a tiny donation, but it confrmed that
even the smallest efforts to change some-
one’s day are better than no effort at all.”
Parmalee still has some back and knee
pain as a sad reminder of her accident.
She hasn’t been back to oxford much
since graduation but would like to visit the
hospital some day. “i have always been
grateful to the people there,” she says.
“They were very kind, and i had a very
positive experience there. They were good
with me and my family.”

KUDOS FOR A
HOSPITALTOM SPEH KNOWS MCCULLOUGH-HYDE MEMORIAL HOSPITAL AS A PATIENT, A VOLUNTEER AND A DONOR— AND GIVES IT HIGH PRAISE.
THERE’S A LOT OF TALK ABOUT quality in health care these days, and Tom
Speh, Ph.D., would like to have his say—
about one institution, McCullough-Hyde
Memorial Hospital. “I’ve been in other
hospitals, in Michigan, Alabama and Ten-
nessee, but nothing compares to what
it’s like here in this little hospital in Oxford,
Ohio,” he says.
Speh, 71, who lives in Oxford with his
wife, Sara, has unfortunately become famil-
iar with a number of major medical centers
lately, traveling to them for treatment as he
has battled a rare form of pancreatic cancer.
But the retired Miami University profes-
sor and business-school administrator has
been acquainted with MHMH for a long time.
He arrived in Oxford in 1962 as a freshman
at Miami, and in the nearly fve-and-a-half
decades since then he’s visited McCullough-
Hyde Memorial Hospital many times.
Sometimes it’s been for treatment of
injuries. “I’m terribly accident-prone,” he
confesses. “It’s a big joke in our family—
I’ve probably had more stitches put in me
at MHMH than anyone else in Oxford.” He
also has a history of gastrointestinal prob-
lems and has received frequent treatment
for them. “Over the years I’ve had all kinds
of tests done there.”
Speh’s appreciation for the excellent
care he’s received at the hospital has led
him to become a generous donor. And in
1998, after his late wife Michele’s treatment
for breast cancer at MHMH, he and she
began to volunteer at the hospital as a way
of giving back. After her death in 2000 he
continued to volunteer, mostly in the Emer-
gency Department.
“I did anything they needed,” he says. “A
lot of carting patients around, cleaning, re-
cord keeping. I really enjoyed the work. And
I could see how other patients appreciated
the care they were getting.”
But Speh did more than cleaning and
carting—he also lent his business acu-
men to the hospital in 2002 by joining the
board of directors of its foundation, the
McCullough-Hyde Memorial Hospital Trust.
“Tom’s insistence on excellence has helped
make our hospital better, so we can better
serve the needs of our community,” says
John Harlan, M.D., the current chairman of
the Hospital Trust’s board. “His contribu-
tions of time, talent and fnancial support
are deeply appreciated.”
Speh served on the board—including a
stint as its chairman—until last year, when
his health forced him to retire. “He has a
wonderful sense of humor and always has
a sparkle in his eyes,” says former board
Chairman Richard Norman, now chairman
of the board of trustees for the hospi-
tal itself. “He also brought to our board a
worldwide reputation in his academic feld
of supply chain management.”
Speh believes that a commitment to a
high level of care and concern runs through
the entire institution. “It starts at the top,”
he says. “Most of the leaders there have
been there a long time. I think most people
would be impressed with their loyalty and
care and professionalism, as I am. They are
very forward-thinking for a small hospital,
and the quality is pervasive, from the people
who clean the stairway to those who run the
hospital.” On both counts, he should know.
Says Speh about MHMH: “We are really
lucky as a small community to have a hos-
pital with people who care so much and do
their jobs so well.”

SomE HoSpiTALS givE you A funny Look wHEn
you say the word “midwife.” They have their procedures and prac-
tices, and they tend to resist the natural childbirth approach some
couples prefer. But mcCullough-Hyde memorial Hospital is different.
Just ask Susan pepper and her husband Jonathan Bradshaw
of oxford. They’re the parents of two children born through natural
childbirth at mHmH. Their son Hubbard turns 3 in march, and their
daughter rhoda was born in June 2015. All went well with both
births, and they couldn’t be happier.
pepper, 38, a part-time musician, teacher and artist, and Brad-
shaw, 32, a faculty member and student at miami university,
wanted natural deliveries performed with a midwife. That means
no pain medications, no epidurals, no inducements, no rushing to
meet a schedule and, unless absolutely necessary, no cesarean
section. not every hospital is willing to meet all those requirements,
but mHmH fully supported their birth plan, she says. “no one of-
fered medication or did anything to go against my intentions. They
give you a lot of space to try to have the birth experience you want.”
Having access to donna Bostick, the only midwife in oxford,
“was a real beneft for me,” she says. “otherwise i would have had
to drive far to use a midwife, and that would not have been practical.
And there are two great doctors in her practice to help if needed.”
pepper was 35 at the time of her frst birth, but “i didn’t feel like
donna was bent out of shape, she didn’t treat me like a geriatric
patient. i really appreciated that. i didn’t need extra anxiety. i want-
ed to be able to enjoy my pregnancy and feel confdent, and she
helped give me that experience.”
it’s not possible to fully control every element of a delivery, of
course, and pepper admits she had a few moments of doubt. for
instance, her frst delivery took 15 hours, and the doctors consid-
ered inducing it. “But donna helped me and believed in me,” she
says. “She had confdence i could do it, so i waited a bit more and
it happened.”
That support pepper received extended to the entire delivery
team. “you get a lot of attention there, which is huge,” she says.
“i didn’t feel like a number. women there feel really special, as if
they’re at the center of the world.” The nurses helped her start
breastfeeding and offered her all kinds of advice. “i was blown away
by the amount of information they offered—it felt like baby boot
camp,” she says.
pepper sent “thank you” notes to the birthing center after both
her deliveries. “There is an air there of commitment to excellence,
a sense of pride,” she says. “we moved here fve years ago and
learned quickly that mcCullough-Hyde memorial was a really good
place to have a baby. And yes, the people there are awesome. we
had really good experiences.”

GRAIN-FREE GRANOLAWITH ROSE WATER, APRICOT AND PISTACHIO MAKES 1 LARGE JAR
n ¼ cup raw coconut oil
n 1/3 cup honey
n 1/3 cup maple syrup
n 2 cups coconut chips
n 1 cup pistachios, coarsely chopped
n 1 cup almonds, very coarsely chopped
n ¾ cup sunflower seeds
n ½ cup pumpkin seeds
n 1 tsp. rose water (optional)
n 1½ cups dried apricots, coarsely
chopped
n 2 Tbs. hemp seeds
n 2–3 Tbs. dried rose petals (optional)
Preheat the oven to 325ºF and line two deep-sided baking sheets
with parchment paper. Melt the coconut oil, honey and maple syrup
in a small saucepan until it starts to bubble and simmer, then turn
off the heat.
Combine the coconut chips, pistachios, almonds, and sunflower
and pumpkin seeds in a large bowl. Pour in the honey mixture and
stir with a wooden spoon until thoroughly combined. There should
be enough of the honey mixture to lightly coat all the dry mix, but if
you feel there is not enough, just add more honey mix using equal
amounts of melted honey and coconut oil.
Spread the mixture onto the lined baking sheets, making a layer
that isn’t too deep, otherwise it won’t all crisp up. Bake for 15–20
minutes, stirring every 3–4 minutes so that all the mix turns a lovely
golden color and doesn’t burn, which it can do easily due to the
coconut. Remove from the oven, let cool a little, then sprinkle with
the rose water (if using) and scatter in the dried apricots and hemp
seeds. Lastly, stir through the petals (if using).
Let cool completely before transferring into an airtight jar. Use
within two weeks.
This heavenly, fruity combination is quite decadent and not cheap to make;
however, it lasts a long time and is not the kind of granola you would have a huge
bowl of. Serve it with a sprinkle of fresh fruit and yogurt on top.

POACHED EGGSWITH CAULIFLOWER TOASTS, KALE AND DUKKAH SERVES 2
n 1 whole cauliflower, outer leaves removed
n 3 Tbs. cold-pressed olive oil
n 5 Tbs. dukkah (an Egyptian spice blend)
or lightly crushed cumin seeds, plus extra
to serve
n 2 Tbs. cold-pressed olive oil
n 1 Tb. butter
n 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
n ½ medium red chile (optional), finely sliced
n 6–8 kale leaves, on the large side,
center stalks stripped out
n 4 free-range eggs
n Pinch of salt
To serve
n Cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil
n Juice of ½ lemon
n A few twists of black pepper
Preheat the oven to 400ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment
paper. Cut the cauliflower across into four slices of “toast” about
½-¾ inch thick. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons of the oil, sprinkle with
dukkah, place the toasts on your pan and pop into the oven for
about 30 minutes until they start to turn golden.
After 20 minutes, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and butter
in a medium casserole or Dutch oven with a lid over medium heat.
Add the garlic and chile (if using), stir for 30 seconds, add the kale,
then a few tablespoons of water and a pinch of salt. Cover tightly
with the lid and braise for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. You may
need to turn the heat down or add a little extra water if it is cooking
too furiously.
Place a wide, deep saucepan over high heat and fill it with boiling
water. Bring it to a light simmer and add a pinch of salt. Carefully
crack one egg into a cup, then gently pour it into the simmering
water. Repeat with the remaining eggs and cook to your liking.
Depending on their size, a soft-poached egg takes about 2 minutes
and a soft-to-firm one needs about 4 minutes.
When everything is ready, place the cauliflower toasts onto warm
plates, top with the eggs and place the kale alongside. Sprinkle with
a little extra dukkah and drizzle with cold-pressed extra virgin olive
oil, then squeeze some lemon over the kale and season with a few
twists of pepper.
This delicious ensemble is a serious treat. Caulifower toasts give the poached
eggs something to sit on and add texture without the need for bread.

Famous as a destination For carousing spring breakers,
cancun may seem an unlikely place to embark on a ftness journey. but
that’s just where i went recently to jump-start mine.
Located in a beautiful natural setting on the eastern tip of mexico’s Yucatan
peninsula, it’s about four hours away by air via fights to cancun international
airport. the JW marriott, a quiet, 448-room resort just off the busy “hotel zone,”
offers a Wellness beach retreat package that includes oceanview rooms, a
spa treatment, one-day cabana rental and credit toward group ftness classes.
i hoped to get some sun, have some fun and get back into a ftness routine.
First up: a surefre way to punch up one’s wellness quest—an hour-long boxing
class. truth be told, i was curious, as i’d never done it. but when some friends
suggested that i pop two ibuprofens beforehand, well, curiosity turned to
fear. (this, of course, says more about my level of ftness than anything else!)
calling the fve-person group session “fun” might be a stretch, but there
were plenty of giggles amid the panting and sighs. as in many
boot-campesque sessions, there were stations, all
designed for different benefts—strength,
speed, agility, endurance—and
we rotated among them. our
instructor, malcolm, a former
national bodybuilding
champ and certifed
ftness pro, offered

of “Venga,
Opposite, clockwise from top left: an ocean-facing cabana at the JW Marriott, the perfect place to relax,

venga!” (loosely translated as “faster, faster!”) Afterward, we sipped recovery smoothies at the
health bar. The barista recommended the Green Juice, made from celery, spinach, orange, cu-
cumber and pineapple. The drink was delicious—refreshing and not too sweet.
feeling proud of myself, i reasoned that i’d earned a retreat to the poolside, oceanfront Bali-
style cabana. There you can read, daydream or just indulge in people-watching. for lunch, healthy
options abound at BeachWalk, a bathing suit-friendly eatery, with choices such as Thai shrimp
spring rolls, Mexican ceviche, crab cakes and my favorite, a blackened grouper sandwich served
with grilled onions and mustard seed roulade sauce.
Next, for more relaxation, a spa appointment. Every spa on earth prom-
ises to help you “relax, refresh, restore and renew.” This one delivers. After the
75-minute Stress Victims Spa Cure, you’ll feel all those “re”s and more. The
tension melts away as your back, neck and shoulders are kneaded and mas-
saged for the frst 25 minutes. (Ask for Yesica; she has the hands of a god-
dess.) once you’re thoroughly relaxed, next up is a 50-minute facial, including a
lovely hydrating mist.
When i was well rested, it was time for a night on the town. The restaurant
Porfrio’s reimagines the best of traditional Mexican fare in a beautiful setting.
(Sit outside if you go around sunset.) Prepare for a multi-sensory experience:
The food and service are great. Music videos play in the background, mak-
ing it feel a little Las Vegasesque—but that adds to the fun. Later, a live band
roams through the space, serenading patrons with classic Mexican tunes.
Want another way to up the fun quotient? Head to Champions Sports Bar.
A favorite of locals, tourists and hotel staff, it offers karaoke nightly. it’s located
at the CasaMagna Cancun next door to the JW Marriott. (Stay at either hotel
and enjoy the amenities of its sister property.)
of course, no wellness weekend would be complete without yoga, which
is great for fexibility, stress relief and a host of other health benefts. (Studies show it
reduces the risk of heart disease, decreases blood pressure and lowers low-density, or
“bad,” cholesterol by more than 10 points.) in a group class geared toward all experience
levels, the emphasis was on breathing, balance and being comfortable with your body
now. Yoga isn’t your thing? There are daily stretching and spinning classes too.
if you can tear yourself away from the gym and the beach, consider the Aquafun
Marina Jungle tour, during which you’ll power through the waters of the Nichupte Lagoon
in a two-seat speedboat. After an exhilarating ride with a constant cool spray offering a
respite from the sun, you can dive into the turquoise water and do some snorkeling.
Back by late afternoon, it’s time for drinks. for a refned alternative to the sugary
margarita, try tequila tasting at the lobby bar. Locals enjoy tequila with sangrita, a spicy
nonalcoholic beverage meant to cleanse the palate between shots, and JW’s mixology
team will explain the differences among these low-calorie sips. for dinner, try Gustino,
where low-carb linguine with shrimp, grilled veggies and poached salmon are popular,
waistline-friendly options. The Branzino al cartoccio con fnocchio e sedano, Chilean sea
bass with lemons, fennel and leeks, is a delicious—and healthy—choice.
Turns out Cancun wasn’t such an unlikely spot for a wellness retreat. After all, true
wellness means fnding balance, not just physically, but socially, emotionally, intellectually
and spiritually. And a beautiful beach doesn’t hurt one bit.
