Podcasts about The Alfred Hospital

Currently, Abella has a multifaceted career that includes working on-call at The Alfred Hospital, part-time in private practice at Creative Smiles in Armadale, and serving as a clinical lecturer at the Melbourne Dental School.

In this piece we discuss breaking trial results with Chris Bain, a consultant anaesthetist and researcher, and Luke Perry, a trainee anaesthetist and PhD student*, both from Melbourne, Australia. We explore the effects of tissue trauma on inflammation and immune responses, and new results about the modifying effect of genetic expression with glucocorticoids. Then we delve into a pilot study on pulmonary artery catheters and cardiac surgery: one of the big questions in our specialty. The pilot study showed that a large randomised trial is feasible and has equipoise. Presented by Andy Cumpstey and Kate Leslie on location at the Annual Scientific Meeting of the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists and Faculty of Pain Medicine in Cairns, Australia, with their guests, Dr Chris Bain, Department of Anaesthesia and Perioperative Medicine, The Alfred Hospital and Monash University, Melbourne, Australia and Dr Luke Perry, an ANZCA trainee in Melbourne, a PhD student at the University of Melbourne, and Head of Research, Victorian Heart Hospital, Melbourne, Australia.

Hi everyone, Welcome to part 1 of a 3 part series we have put together - 3 hypothetical cases involving anaemia / patient blood management scenarios. Thanks to the two great colleagues who made these discussions with me, Dr Anastazia Keegan Head of Haematology here at KEMH and Assoc Prof Nolan McDonnell a colleague from our Department of Anaesthesia. These cases might sound familiar to any registrars who have attended the Thursday teaching run here over the last 8-9 years! We had a lot of fun discussing these three cases and I hope there is a lot of great learning for those of you listening - thanks Anastazia and Nolan for giving up a few hours to put these together!

We had the honour of sitting down with a remarkable person who is a completely blind jiu-jitsu athlete who fearlessly shares his story of resilience and triumph. In a twist of fate, this incredible individual became blind from two seperate events. One at 10 years old with an incident involving a knife, and a second time at 20 in a cowardly act of violence carried out by a group of other men. For nine long years, Kadek battled depression and comforted his pain with food addiction, ultimately reaching a point of despair that led to an attempted suicide.  The path to recovery started with a five-week stay at the Alfred Hospital's psych ward in Melbourne, where you could say the penny dropped and his story started to take a turn for the better.  Through sheer determination and an unwavering spirit, this warrior discovered the power of jiu-jitsu. It became more than just a martial art—it became a lifeline. The jiu-jitsu community embraced him with open arms, offering support, understanding, and a sense of belonging they had been craving for years. This was by far my favourite conversation I've ever had on the podcast and without doubt delivered the most value in terms of perspective and inspiration. Join us as we delve into the depths of this awe-inspiring tale. Prepare to witness the strength of the human spirit and the extraordinary resilience that can be found within the human mind. This episode will leave you with a renewed sense of hope and a deeper understanding of the power of connection and acceptance. I can't wait to have Kadek back for future episodes and I know you will feel the same. In many ways, this mans life has only just begun, and I am excited to see the impact he leaves on this world which starts by telling this story.

This week we look at the arrest of David 'Guru' Graham and his ridiculous behaviour in court. He is such a silly billy. Payton Gendron, a mass murderer who killed 10 innocent black americans in a supermarket desperately tries to claw back some sympathy from the court. What a prick. In cooker update we have a long overdue go at Dave Oneegs - but that needs another episode in itself - and look at the cookers plan to protest The Alfred - a very busy and very important hospital in Melbourne. By now the protest will have happened - parents harassed on the way to see their children. Sick people being yelled at by idiots. All because they don't understand how transplant lists work. Pathetic. We have BPFW and in SovCits V The Man we see a fella fomally known as prince having a bit of a spat with the authorities over his repeated presence in a protected area. Pete is still a bigot. He doesn't read articles. Babet has started 'just asking questions' in question time and not only are they stupid, but when he gets owned in the chamber - he posts the video of it as a flex. He doesn't even realise he is getting owned because he is that stupid. Some very poor behaviour from the usual suspects this week. Enjoy!
