Is physical therapy the unappreciated child of healthcare? The talk with Heather Linden from the UFC

Is physical therapy the unappreciated child of healthcare? The talk with Heather Linden from the UFC

How does physical therapy help athletes like Ronda Rousey, George Saint-Pierre or Conor McGregor? Why is it important to involve physiotherapists in the training of athletes before a fight and after the fight as well?

Heather is the Director of Physical Therapy Center of the UFC. The UFC managed to establish mix martial arts as a respected and highly valued sports discipline gaining popularity across the globe. It is only natural that they would set the standards of care regarding physical functionality for athletes in this sport. Heather explains how she transitioned from olympic athletes program to the UFC. The beginnings were not easy, as many athletes were not familiar with a physical therapist, yet her and her team managed to gain the trust they needed to increase the performance of the athletes. Heather shares her views on the "hot vs cold" controversy and clarifies how electro-stimulation can be used. In her opinion, a lot of doctors don't know enough about the level of professionalism in physical therapy and neglect to cooperate and communicate more with experts in this field, often with severe consequences.

"Bacteria have there own language" The talk with Fatima AlZahra'a Alatraktchi, PhD

"Bacteria have there own language" The talk with Fatima AlZahra'a Alatraktchi, PhD

How quickly can the modern medicine detect bacteria? Why is the communication between bacterial colonies so important to understand?

Fatima approached a bio-chemical phenomenon in her own way, her background as a physicist, her drive and perseverance made her discoveries worthwhile.  She developed a sensor that makes it possible to detect bacteria in any sample within 60 seconds, even in early stages, where other more commonly known methods would not show the results. This is a ground breaking thing for patients, who depend on the early recognition of infections, since their immune systems might be deficient. Find out more about her journey in the interview.

When "no problem" becomes the new "you're welcome" The Talk with Dr. Bonnie Clipper, DNP, MA, MBA, RN, CENP, FACHE

Why are only 10% of all nurses men? What is the so called "compassion fatigue"? Can we help nurses foster their innovative skills?

Bonnie and I took a different road on this podcast. Instead of simply gazing on the marvels of nursing innovation, we have mudded through some topics together that could be considered as difficult. Bonnie explained me how the generational gap influences expectations especially in communication. I wanted to know if ageism poses a problem for nurses and if it is really such a great idea for nurses to become business owners.
Bonnie certainly knows the nursing landscape in America inside out and we will see more of her and her colleagues in the future for sure.

What your doctor doesn't want you to know? The talk with Cathrine DesRoches, PhD

What your doctor doesn't want you to know? The talk with Cathrine DesRoches, PhD

How much more transparency is required for medicine to truly help the patient? Are doctors afraid of losing their privileges? 

Cait and I dive into the pros and cons of OpenNotes. Imagine that as a patient you could access the transcripts from all your clinically relevant moments with a physician or therapist freely and at any moment. It is possible that patients would engage much more with their health, not only prepare for next visit at the doctors office but also double check on their previous conversation with the clinical staff. In Cait's experience, working with over 200 health institutions in the US, OpenNotes brought a lot of benefits on both sides. Meanwhile, some people remain sceptical about sharing patient's notes, afraid of increasing the administrative efforts or dealing with obnoxious patients. Time and practice will show, if complete transparency is the right way, how to change patients' engagement with health services for the best.

Silent Healthcare, 3 Jungs mit klarer Vision. Der Talk mit Dr. med. Robert Kromer

Wie wird heute die Makuladegeneration behandelt? Warum sollten sich mehr Ärzte als Unternehmer versuchen? Diese und weitere Fragen werden in dem angenehmen Talk beantwortet. 

Wirklich ein breites Themenfeld zeichnet diesmal das angenehme Gespräch mit Robert, der als Facharzt für Ophthalmologie eine Marktlücke entdeckt hat. Oder sollte man es lieber Verbesserungspotenzial nennen? Jedenfalls ist die Therapie der Makuladegeneration eine aufwendige Sache, da man alles sehr gründlich sterilisieren muss. Genau da setzte Robert mit seinem Team an und versuchte mittels 3-D Printing einen Prototyp herzustellen, arbeitete dabei auch mit Feedback von den Fachkollegen und Patienten.  Es ist nicht einfach ein Produkt herzustellen aber die danach folgenden Schritte der Massenproduktion, Vermarktung und Etablierung sind ja auch nicht ohne Tücken.  Es ist dennoch erfreulich zu sehen, wie junge passionierte Menschen die Medizin im Hintergrund vorantreiben.

"In many cases we are the last hope for our patients!" The talk with Inge Kormelink, CEO Clinica Tambre

"In many cases we are the last hope for our patients!" The talk with Inge Kormelink, CEO Clinica Tambre

Why is Clinica Tambre among the best in the world in the field of IVF? Did the demography of patients with fertility issues change in the last years?
How did Inge find her way into this medical field in the first place?

All these questions are answered in our podcast, where Inge grants us an insider view on IVF situation these days. She explains very clearly that clinical excellence and reputation is not build over night and doe involve so much more than just great medical service. It is the very nature of Inge's team, to be as comforting to her patients as possible. Starting with enabling the patients to speak their native language to the fact that she offers psychological in-house counsel for the couples. Her team and her hard work have made the dream of becoming a parent possible to a great number of couples, for that the German broadcast WDR included her and Clinica Tambre in their documentary about IVF.

Don't' take drugs, but if you do, check what's inside first! The talk with Daan van der Gouwe

Don't' take drugs, but if you do, check what's inside first! The talk with Daan van der Gouwe

Maybe you are against drugs, maybe you are for some kind of middle ground regulation, or maybe, you are a hippie! It doesn't matter, because what is important is that if a drug user decided to take drugs, the best we can do is educate them about the substance and make sure the purity of the substance is high!

Daan is in the harm reduction and drug control for a lot of years and what he saw during those years shaped his understanding of what's going on for the better. Besides having a unique insight into the classic on-the-street drug market, he knows about dark/deep net market places. The stations that his colleagues work at provide the initial possibility for drug users to ask for help or guidance if they need to do so. Additionally, by checking the drug purity, Daan and his colleagues already saved thousands of users from potential fatal consequences due to impure drugs available on the market.

Don't forget to train your legs not just your upper body! The Talk with Nino Cherkezishvili

Don't forget to train your legs not just your upper body! The Talk with Nino Cherkezishvili

Why does anybody need a personal trainer? Why do some people have such a problem starting to engage in physical exercise and can the wrong motivational base for training be harmful?

Nino is a professional personal trainer from Georgia and she explains how the differences in the educational and cultural framework between Georgia and the UK account for the number of people exercising in both countries. She discusses with me why some people won't be happy with their bodies, even if they engage in physical activities and she highlights the fact that personal trainers have to take care of the mental side in their clients just as much as they care for the physical stuff. We both acknowledge the dangers of social media sport gurus/influencers and break down, why it isn't absolutely wise to try replicating what you see online. As a bonus Nino explains why the controversy on static and dynamic stretching doesn't make much sense.

Wie traumatisiert ist die Gesellschaft eigentlich? Der Talk mit Prof. Franz Rupert

Wie traumatisiert ist die Gesellschaft eigentlich? Der Talk mit Prof. Franz Rupert

Trauma erlebt und noch nicht mal auf der Welt? Mir ist es auch passiert und ich habs ja überlebt also was soll's? 

Das Thema Psychotrauma hat Herrn Professor Ruppert seit langen Jahren beschäftigt. In seiner täglichen Praxis begegnet er Menschen, die meist als Kinder Situationen erlebt haben, die ihre Wahrnehmung, ihr Selbst komplett überfordert haben und die Psyche reagierte darauf mit einer eigenartigen Strategie. Die Belastung wurde abgekapselt und in den Keller geschoben, dort liegt diese tickende Zeitbombe meist auch bis ein ähnliches Ereignis die Bombe aktiviert. Es wird auch klar, dass die Frage nach dem "Wer bin ich?" oft mit einer Identifikationsantwort befriedigt wird. Dies hat auch ernste Folgen für das einzelne Individuum. Was ist denn nun die Therapie für die traumatisierten und wie funktioniert sie genau? Mehr dazu erfahren Sie im Talk selber.

Das Monster des Medizinstudiums besiegt? Der Talk mit Dr. Christopher Becker

Ist Anatomie wirklich so schwer zu lernen? Warum ist ein gewöhnlicher Medizinstudent mit diesem Fach überfordert? Was ist KENHUB und wie hilft es den Studenten genau?

Diese Fragen werden von Christopher innerhalb unseres lockeren Gesprächs beantwortet. Er macht es deutlich, dass man langsam aber sicher nicht nur die Inhalte sondern auch die Art und Weise des Medizinstudiums verändern muss. Schliesslich stehen uns heute sehr viele Mittel zur Verfügung, die man dafür nutzen kann. Er erklärt wie wichtig es ist, das richtige Team dabei zu haben, wenn man eine geniale Idee auch umsetzen kann, sonst bleibt es nur beim Träumen. Und Schliesslich verrät er uns, wie das Leben eines Assistenzarztes zumindest in seiner Klinik aussieht. Eins wird klar, die Strukturen haben sich seit einigen Jahren vermenschlicht und die Kommunikation zwischen den Ärzten egal auf welcher Stufe ist das A und O.

"Fly like a butterfly sting like a bee!" The talk with a ringside doctor Davide Bianchi, MD

"Fly like a butterfly sting like a bee!" The talk with a ringside doctor Davide Bianchi, MD

Did you know that when a fighter gets cut, it is not the ringside physician who treats him first? Who can or should become ringside physician and why is it essential to have one on the spot?

In this informative and lively talk, Davide explains to me what it takes to be a ringside physician. As a fighter he understand, what nuances must be taken into account before heroically stoping the fight and maybe robbing someone of fame and money. As a ringside physician he understands the required calmness in heated situation, when audience is not happy. Damage to health in combat sports however does not only occur during a fight, but also during the preparation phase. Bad training methods and dehydration to make weight are the killers before any fight. "Fighters can water up in 24 hours but there is no way their electrolytes can be restored as quickly." This results in fatigue and consequences during the fight. Listen to Davide and his anecdote and you will know why!

When healthcare doesn't care! What can palliative care do for the terminally ill? The talk with Timothy Ihrig, MD

When healthcare doesn't care! What can palliative care do for the terminally ill? The talk with Timothy Ihrig, MD

What ist the question that medicine needs to answer for itself in the next few years? Why do we need to rethink the way healthcare is applied?

Imagine somebody you love and adore is terminally ill, now imagine that medicine does things that person and not for the person! How would you feel? Tim and I tried to get to the bitter truth of dying and topics connected to death in the reals of healthcare. We touch on the topic of physician's responsibility, where Tim explains the necessity for truth over fear. He explains that changing the narrative from dying to "last period of living" empowers the patient to set a priority on "what is sacred to them". We discuss the assisted suicide and the choice of pain management in general. Overall the honest and direct communication with the patient and his family seems to be absolutely crucial. Tim offers statistical evidence for the efficiency of true care and helps us understand how economically futile the obsessive "let's try and fix it" ideology can be. Take a moment and listen to the talk, to Tim's anecdotes from his long years in the palliative care and actively unravel his thoughts for yourself.

Mehr Anerkennung für die Rettungssanitäter? Der Talk mit Michael Schumann

Wie ist die Rettungsmedizin in der Schweiz aufgebaut? Wie hoch ist die Qualität der Ausbildung der Rettungssanitäter hierzulande? Wie kommen Rettungssanitäter an die Autos ran, die sie benutzen? 

Diese und weitere Fragen beantwortet mir Michael als Präsident der Vereinigung der Schweizer Rettungssanitäter kompetent und selbstbewusst.  Er beschreibt die Veränderungen des jungen und dennoch vitalen Sektors der Rettungsmedizin. Er gibt Preis, wie teuer ein Einsatzwagen werden kann und wie sehr er das begrüsst, wenn die Bevölkerung die Sanitäter unterstützt. Sehr deutlich erklärt er die Wichtigkeit der Rettungskette und der stetigen Weiterbildung der Rettungskräfte. Wir sind sehr stolz darauf, dass unsere Rettungssanitäter im vergleich zu anderen Ländern sehr gut ausgebildet sind. Alleine schon für die Professionalität und deren täglichen Einsatz gebührt ihnen die entsprechende Anerkennung und unser Dank!

"A diagnosis is a moving target" The talk with Danielle Ofri, MD

What does it mean for a doctor to become the patient? How important is to posess intellectual humility?

Danielle is a gifted writer and her career as a doctor gave her enough input to produce a number of great books. These books and the experience that inspired her to write them are the topic of this podcast. We speak about the necessity for emotional balance in doctors. There is a need for doctors to have enough room to be angry, sad, or happy. Moreover doctors need to be able to tend emotionally to their patients as well. Danielle explained to me that the whole topic of medical error is a complex one. Definitions and data are not conclusive and people should be careful when interpreting them. Danielle ends the interview with some great advice for future doctors.

"Wir sind Orthopäden und keine Philosophen!" Der Talk mit Dr. med. Jürg Knessl

"Wir sind Orthopäden und keine Philosophen!" Der Talk mit Dr. med. Jürg Knessl

Was ist eigentlich der Unterschied zwischen Moral und Ethik? Wieso ist es wichtig, dass die Ärzte ein positives Verhältnis zum Thema Ethik haben und fundiertes Grundwissen über dieses Thema überhaupt besitzen?

Diese Episode ist nicht nur lustig und lehrreich, sondern auch richtig tiefgründig und geht an die Substanz manch kritischer Themen. Deshalb empfehle ich jedem Zuhörer, sich die Zeit zu nehmen, diese Episode anzuhören, denn Jürg hat die Gabe komplexe Sachverhalte mit einer stoischen Ruhe und schelmischem Stil zu erörtern. Angefangen bei der Ethik selber und wie in der Medizin heutzutage mit der Ethik umgegangen wird. Jürg spricht auch über seine Erfahrung mit den Studenten und ihrem leider über das Studium sukzessiv schwindenden Interesse an der Ethik. Er stellt ein paar im Moment scharf diskutierte Themen dar, insbesondere die Sterbehilfe. Jürg hat den Mut, auch über die in seinen Augen nicht optimal verlaufende Gesundheitspolitik zu sprechen und warnt davor, dass wenn Systeme falsche Anreize setzen, die Menschen sich entsprechend verhalten werden. Ich empfehle jedem sich diesen Episode anzuhören!

"If you have a nail in your eye, don't pull it out, just go to the hospital!" The Talk with Dr. Edna Joyce, MD

Children aspire to take up the profession of their parents, sometimes there is a twist in the story as we shall see with Dr. Joyce! Why is it bad for you to rub your eye, she will deliver the answer!

If you wondered what Glaucoma is about and how it is diagnosed, this podcast will help you understand that. But not only that, you will find out why ozone therapy is such a help for the glaucoma treatment. Dr. Joyce is a proponent of homeopathy and she gives to anecdotal examples of a nutritional advice she gave to her patients and actually helped with their eye sight. As a diabetic with hypertension, she has great experience with self-management of her condition, using healthy nutrition in the first place. She explains how the blue light damages the retina. I was interested in her use of psychological knowledge in her job as a doctor. Her message is clear, people need people not diagnostic/treatment machines. Doctors need to know about their patients lives, feelings and thoughts, not just about their health status. By the end of our talk, she explains why she wrote a book named "Are you crazy?".

Did you ever wonder, how it feels to have ADHD? Is it really a curse or just a blessing in disguise when properly managed? 

More questions and even more answers are presented by Ned and myself in this lovely talk about ADHD. Additionally, since Ned wrote more than 20 books so far, we discuss why and how people worry, we talk about our age of constant interruption and he explains how children can have a more fulfilled life. Ned speaks best for himself, paraphrasing him would be pointless.

"Be brave enough to be your authentic self!" The talk with Sasha Shillcutt, MD

Why is failure in medicine a taboo topic? Why should a woman shine on more days than just her birthday celebration?
What do you need to know before you look for a mentor?

Sasha was a wonderful guest, who took her time to explain me her views on a number of topics. Thanks to Sasha I have learned a couple of things.
Mentoring is important, but if you do not know, what you need help with, the best mentor won't help. I have learned that work compression can be a total killer for a person, who needs to step out of the work environment to assess their current situation, "taking time" proceeds "having time".
Men and women both and preferably together need to find a way how to change the system so both can be parents to the best of their abilities, the children will appreciate it. And I have learned what it means to be "brave enough"

If you have never heard about space medicine and space pharmacology, you will now! By the way, what do you think causes the astronauts the biggest headache in space? 

Virginia delivers answers to all these questions in an enormously informative talk. She gives us a wonderful insight into the world of NASA, pharmacological and medical issues connected to space flights. As Virginia explains, things have there up and downs (badam-tsssss). Astronauts are exposed to radiation, they have to deal with minimal gravity and female astronauts face different issues than male astronauts due to the biological differences.

Medizin, keine Branche für das Rampenlicht?! Der Talk mit Dr. med. Christian Gingert

In wie weit haben Medien einen Nutzen für die Ärzte als Community und als Kommunikationsmittel mit Patienten? Warum wählte Christian die 20-Minuten Online als Partner für sein Projekt?

Antworten auf diese Fragen und viel mehr hört ihr in diesem lockeren und lehrreichen Podcast. Christian spricht offen und unzensiert über die Schwierigkeit der Ärzte mit Medien zusammen zu arbeiten, denn als Repräsentanten ihrer jeweiligen Institutionen müssen sie gewisse Reputation wahren. Ausserdem wird das Rampenlicht in der Medizin selten gesucht und auch nicht als "anständig" empfunden.  Dabei wäre es aber grade wichtig, die "breite Masse" zu erreichen und Medizin zu "entmystifizieren" wie es Christian selber sehr schön auf den Punkt gebracht hat. Er selber konsumiert keine medizinischen Inhalte, sieht aber Potenzial in diesem Bereich, auch für die eigene Community. Als Beispiel spricht er über die Videos von operativen Eingriffen, die den Ärzten helfen, sich fachlich auszutauschen. Zum Schluss erklärt er seine Sicht der Dinge betreffend der Generationsunterschiede und der menschlichen Bedürfnisse der Ärzte, denn auch Ärzte sind Menschen!

The experience of a Swiss doctor in Moscow? The talk with Dr. Claudine Mathieu

What are the cultural differences between Swiss and Russian doctors? What is it, that Moscow's doctors can learn from the European colleagues and vice versa? 

Claudine moved to Moscow and works in a private hospital essentially driving the change management forward with the goal to increase the quality of medical care. She has learned that there are serious differences in the patient-doctor communication between Russia and Europe. Moreover she explains, what the healthcare situation in Russia, specifically in Moscow looks like from her point of view.

Der Spitalmanager des Jahres 2019 ist ein Schweizer! Der Talk mit Urs Baumberger, CEO Kantonsspital Nidwalden

Welche Einflüsse muss ein erfolgreicher Spitalmanager in seiner Strategieplanung besonders beachten? Wie kreiert man eine wertvolle und stabile Unternehmungskultur? Was ist eine sog. "begehrte Braut" im Gesundheitswesen?

Die Antworten auf alle diese Fragen liefert Urs mit einer ungewöhnlichen Leichtigkeit. Man merkt, dass er sich sehr intensiv mit strategischem Management und einigen Führungskonzepten auseinandergesetzt hat. Eins wird dank Urs klar, ohne eine saubere Analyse und den richtigen Schlussfolgerungen daraus, kann keiner auf dem Gesundheitsmarkt erfolgreich sein. Allgemein herrscht auf dem Gesundheitsmarkt ein deutlicher ökonomischer Druck, der uns alle zwingt einige Konzepte zu überdenken und neue Lösungen zu suchen. Diese Lösungen müssen nicht immer durch die Politik bestimmt werden, aber egal woher die Veränderungsimpulse kommen, muss man alle beteiligten Interessengruppen involvieren. Für seine unermüdliche Arbeit wurde Urs in Berlin dieses Jahr ausgezeichnet und wir alle gratulieren ihm ganz herzlich dazu!

"Nurses are natural innovators!" The talk with Rebecca Love, RN, MSN, FIEL

Did you know that a great amount of nurses leave healthcare after only two years on the job? Should nurses be considered in healthcare product developments?

Rebecca Love delivers a clear statement about the nursing situation in the US and it is not a pleasant one to say the least. Before we get apocalyptical here, there are some good news too, so calm down. Truth is, that although it is the nurses who run around the patients the whole day and night, not the doctors, nurses are only marginally involved in many of the developmental processes in healthcare. Nurses lack the proper management education and often the correct terminology to convince certain stakeholders. Rebecca disposes of some myths in regard of nurses and shares, why she became a nurse in the first place.

Humans and monkeys are not so different after all! The talk with Prof. William von Hippel

Do all systems governed by social rules include moral choices and moral imperatives? Why do we care so much, what the other people get compared to us?

Bill answers these questions and many more in a brilliant manner, picturing a complex sketch of different influences on our behaviour. As an evolutionary psychologist, he looks for clues and similarities in our common ancestors, the primates. He shortly vocalises his opinion about why the sciences have to fight idealogical movements and prove their worth as sources of knowledge and important discoveries. Bill dives into the topic of human communication due to the technological changes. as well.

Ist Telemedizin eine mögliche Antwort auf den Ärztemangel? Der Talk mit Prof. Christiane Brockes

Was ist Telemedizin genau und was kann sie sowohl für die Patienten als auch für die Ärzte tun? Wie geht die Schweiz mit diesem Thema um? Was macht Alcare, das Unternehmen von Christiane denn genau?

Christiane ist nicht nur Professorin and der Universität Zürich, sondern auch unternehmerisch tätig. Sie hat schon früh Dank Ihrer Forschung verstanden, dass die Telemedizin und der Einsatz von neuen Technologien die klassische Gesundheitsversorgung verändern wird. Sie erklärt auf eine einfache Art ein paar wichtige Begriffe und erörtert wie man allgemein mit diesem Thema in den ärztlichen Kreisen umgeht. Später gehen wir auf ihr Unternehmen namens Alcare ein. Ihr Team und sie implementieren sog. "smart home" Lösungen und helfen bspw. den Senioren, deren Autonomie und Unfallprävention sehr hohe Priorität haben.

Cancer treatment, why the hell are we making patients more sick? The talk with Prof. Thomas Seyfried

Cancer treatment, why the hell are we making patients more sick? The talk with Prof. Thomas Seyfried

Have you heard about the research conducted by Otto Warburg (Nobel Prize in chemistry, 1931)? If not, you might not know the modern follow up either! How is respiration and fermentation connected to cancer?
How can calorie-restricted ketogenic diets and fasting help with cancer?

The answers and much more coming from a man, who dedicated his life to understanding cancer and how to treat it, without making the patients sicker using radiation or chemotherapy. Professor Seyfried explains in simple terms, how the fermentation of glucose, damage to mitochondria and inflammation are connected in terms of cancer development. He was often labeled as controversial, yet his work is based on solid science and the obvious need for an alternative treatment for cancer patients. We scrutinise together, why this knowledge is either unknown to doctors, or suspiciously frowned upon. In his books, you can find more detailed information about his work and the work of his colleagues.

"We are all miserable, because we are trying so hard not to be!" The talk with Prof. Anna Lembke

Did you ever wonder, why we have so many people suffering from depression? Is spirituality just a buzz word these days offering false hopes?

Find out, why Professor Anna Lembke, Associate Professor of Psychiatry and behavioural sciences, Director of addiction medicine at Stanford and a book author, chose to work in the field of psychiatry. She explains very well, how addiction come to be very difficult to deal with. We discuss why some fields in medicine are not cooperating sufficiently. Anna is a wonderful person to talk to and her book "Drug dealer, how doctors were duped, patients got hooked and why is it so hard to stop?" gave me an insight on the huge problem of medical drug use as a "state of art" treatment for any sort of condition. In connection to this she explained, why pain has an intrinsic value, what "toyotisation" of medicine is and how lack of care continuity kills healthcare.
