Podcasts about Cholera

Love the story Judy Solerno tells at the start of this podcast. The story is about how John Snow, the father of modern epidemiology, mapped out cases of Cholera in London in the year 1854.  He was able to identify a concentration of cases near a neighborhood water pump.  Simply removing the handle from the pump halted the outbreak.  This is one of the earliest recorded uses of maps for public health purposes. Our guests today, Judy Salerno (President Emeritus of the New York Academy of Medicine) and Lindsay Goldman (CEO of Grantmakers in Aging) have done some wonderful work creating detailed, in-depth, interactive maps of aging in New York City. Go to IMAGENNYC and try it yourself. Today we talk about: How the whole country became familiar with these sort of maps during Covid The case for using these maps for health needs of older adults, outside of the use cases in infections like Cholera and Covid Our "favorite" density maps of resources, services, and amenities, including: benches, crosswalks, tree canopy, heat vulnerability, among others. Use cases for these maps in public health and planning, grantmaking/philanthropy, and politics/policy advocacy. Judy's work creating similar maps for Sao Paulo Brazil (will add link here when website is up). How others can replicate this process in their home cities or counties And I get to sing Tapestry, by Carol King, which Judy chose in honor of two recently deceased giants of feminism, Dolly Parton and Gloria Steinem.  My wife Cindy plays piano on the audio only podcast. -Alex Smith

Any team can fill a whiteboard with ideas in an hour. What most teams skip is the analytical thinking that tells them if they're solving the right problem. An idea pointed at the wrong problem is wasted no matter how clever the idea is, and you usually don't discover this mistake for years. By the end of this episode, you'll have four steps you can run on a real problem this week, the three thinking traps that can derail you, and a practice drill to sharpen your analytical thinking. To help explain how and the power behind this skill, I will use a real-world example. In the summer of 1854, cholera hit one small corner of London's Soho area, and by the time it burned out, 616 people were dead, most of them within a few streets of each other. The experts had an explanation ready. Cholera came from bad air, a poisonous vapor rising off filth and rot, called miasma, and that was the official position of the men in charge of public health. A doctor named John Snow didn't argue with them. He walked to the General Register Office, asked for the list of the dead, took that list out into the streets, and knocked on doors until he found that nearly all of them had lived a short walk from one water pump on Broad Street. We'll follow what he did as he applied each of the four steps I'm about to share. Let's get into it. What Is Analytical Thinking? Analytical thinking gets confused with critical thinking all the time, and the difference decides which skill you reach for. Critical thinking judges a claim: someone tells you something, and you ask whether it's true, who is saying it, and what they left out. I covered that in the critical thinking episode, and it's worth watching if you haven't already seen it. Analytical thinking starts when there is no claim on the table yet, just a mess. Sales are down twelve percent. Your best people keep leaving. A project that looked healthy in March is three months late in September. Nobody has handed you an argument to evaluate, so there's nothing yet to be critical of. You have to work out what's going on. Snow's story shows the gap. Critical thinking, applied carefully in 1854, points you straight at the Board of Health, because they were the credible source making a claim, and the credible source was wrong. In the critical thinking episode, we briefly touched on breaking a problem into pieces. In today's episode, we focus on breaking the problem into pieces and then analyzing each one. Why Analytical Thinking Is Eroding Most people remember Snow for the famous cholera map, the one with little black bars stacked along the streets of Soho, piling up around the pump. That map didn't exist in September 1854. A mapmaker drew it for a book Snow published the following year. The real work involved a list of names and a lot of walking. Today, most of us only ever see the finished map. We rarely do the work that produces it. Think about the last dashboard you looked at. The numbers arrived already cut into pieces, by region, by quarter, by product line, and somebody chose those cuts, months ago, for a question they had then. When the slicing arrives pre-made, you've inherited someone else's answer and never noticed. AI summaries go one step further. You ask what's going on, and you get back a paragraph shaped exactly like a conclusion: confident, organized, finished. It never asks you to decide where to look, and that decision is the skill. Like any skill, it only improves when you make it yourself. Keep the dashboard. But you need to be able to do the same work yourself, by hand, when the dashboard doesn't answer your question. The Four Steps Snow's work, and the work of anyone good at analytical thinking, has four steps: Break the problem into pieces Find the pattern inside them Test whether your read is right Look out for the thinking traps Step 1: Break the Problem Into Pieces A problem that feels overwhelming is a problem you haven't cut into pieces yet. The skill is deciding how to split it. The steps to break a problem into pieces: Write the problem down as a fact. "Renewals dropped from eighty percent to sixty-eight percent this year." Not "customers hate the new pricing." That one assumes the answer before you've done the work. Split the problem into pieces that add up to the whole. New customers and existing ones. This region and that one. Online and in-store. If the pieces overlap or leave something out, you'll double-count or miss what matters. Follow the piece that moved, and keep splitting it. If the drop sits almost entirely in one region, split that region again. If it's spread evenly across everything, that's a clue too, and it points you toward something that touches everything. Stop when a piece is small enough to act on or to ask a person about, because past that point more analysis just delays the decision. Get the rows behind the chart. Snow didn't work from a death rate for the district. He worked from eighty-nine names and eighty-nine addresses, and the addresses were where the answer was. How Snow split the problem made all the difference. Everyone else was sorting the neighborhood by what it smelled like. Snow sorted it by where people got their water. Done honestly, this is twenty minutes and one sheet of paper. At the end, you want a short list of pieces that add up, with the one that moved circled. Step 2: Find the Pattern Step 1 tells you where the damage sits. This step is about what those pieces have in common and finding the exceptions. Snow focused on the exceptions, starting with the ones that seemed to contradict him. There were only ten deaths in houses that sat closer to a different pump, so he visited those families. Five of them told him they always sent for water from Broad Street because they liked the taste better, and three more of the dead were children who went to school near the pump. Then he looked at the places that should have been hit and weren't. A workhouse on Poland Street, nearly surrounded by houses where people had died, held more than five hundred people and lost five, but it had its own well. A brewery sat on Broad Street itself, seventy men working a few doors from the pump, and none of them died. The owner told Snow his men got a daily allowance of beer and never drank the water. The cluster told Snow where to look, and the exceptions are what convinced him he was right. The steps to find the pattern: Hunt the exceptions in both directions. Who has the problem and shouldn't? Who should have it and doesn't? One exception, like the brewery, will usually teach you more than ten more examples that fit. Ask what the cluster and the exceptions share that nothing else does. This is the moment the analysis reveals something, so slow down here. Write out what's true of the cases that have the problem: where they are, who touched them, what they use, when it started. Then cross off anything that's also true of the cases that don't have it. Snow could cross off the street, the smell, the crowding, and the poverty, because the workhouse and the brewery sat in all of it and stayed healthy. What survived was the water, and whatever survives your crossing-off is the candidate. Keep asking why until you reach something you can change. Taiichi Ohno, the engineer behind the Toyota Production System, taught this with a machine that stopped. The fuse had blown, but it blew because a worn shaft had starved the bearing of oil, and the shaft wore out because nobody had fitted a strainer to keep scrap from getting into the machine and damaging the shaft. Stop at the first answer, and you replace the fuse, and the machine stops again next month. Two questions do most of the work in this step: What changed right before the numbers did? Who is closest to the problem and hasn't been asked? Snow's best evidence came from a brewery owner and a few families, and nobody had thought to ask any of them. What you want at the end of this step is one sentence naming the likely cause, written so that somebody could go and prove it wrong. "People who drank from the Broad Street pump got cholera" can be checked. "Something in the environment is making people sick" can't be checked, which is part of why the miasma theory lasted so long. Step 3: Test Your Explanation A pattern is your best read, but it's still a bet. Testing is how you find out whether the bet is any good before you spend money, or reputation, or lives on it. Snow's strongest evidence wasn't in Soho at all. A widow out in Hampstead, miles away, died of cholera on September 2nd. There was no cholera in Hampstead, and she hadn't been near Broad Street in months. But she'd lived there once, and she liked that pump's water so much she had a bottle of it brought out to her by cart. Her niece visited, drank the same water, went home to Islington, and died the next day. There was no cholera in Islington either. That's powerful evidence: a case far from the outbreak that only the pump could explain. On the evening of September 7th, Snow took his case to the parish authorities, and the next day the handle came off the pump. Here's the part people usually leave out. Snow wrote afterward that the deaths had already started to fall before the handle came off, so he couldn't claim the pump was still the source, and he refused to take credit the evidence didn't support. A local clergyman, Henry Whitehead, closed the case. Whitehead set out to prove Snow wrong, went house to house on his own, and ended up tracing the first case: a five-month-old baby at 40 Broad Street, whose mother had rinsed the soiled cloths into a cesspool a few feet from the well. Steps to test your explanation: Write down what else has to be true if you're right, then go looking for the case that would embarrass you. If the pump is the cause, people who drank from it far from Soho should get sick, and people living beside it who drank elsewhere should stay healthy. The widow in Hampstead was exactly that case. Define the criteria that would prove you wrong before you go looking. Why? Because if you decide afterward, you'll find a way to rationalize what you already believed. Hand your work to someone who wants you to be wrong. Whitehead set out to disprove Snow and ended up strengthening his case. Run the cheapest test you can. Pulling a pump handle costs nothing and can be undone tomorrow. Most business problems have a small, cheap test: a price change in one region, one week with a different process, one customer call. By the end of this step, you want a test you can run in a week and a result that would make you drop the idea. Step 4: Avoid the Analytical Traps Three failures show up again and again, and all three look like good analysis from the outside. The steps to stay out of the traps: Set the decision date before you start. The first trap is paralysis. You keep splitting and keep asking for more data, because deciding feels riskier than analyzing. Snow didn't wait for proof. He had a strong case and a cheap, reversible action, so he acted. Match the proof you need to the cost of being wrong: pulling a pump handle needs a strong case, and a decision you can't walk back needs a much stronger one. Round the number back to what you actually know. The second trap is false precision. A forecast of 23.4 percent growth sounds more rigorous than "somewhere between fifteen and thirty." If the inputs were guesses, the precision is invented, and everyone who sees it trusts the number more than they should. Carry the uncertainty through to the answer. Go find the numbers that disagree with you. The third trap is confirmation bias dressed up as data, and it's the most dangerous because it looks like evidence. You already believe the answer, so you find the slice of the numbers that agrees. The miasma camp had real observations on its side. Cholera did hit the poorest, most crowded, worst-smelling streets hardest. That was true, and it pointed at the wrong thing. I did a full episode on confirmation bias, and the short version is this: when the evidence against you is hard to find, that's when you need to look hardest. Three things to have in hand before you act: The date you'll decide An honest range instead of a false decimal The strongest evidence you could find against your own answer Practice Exercise: The Root-Cause Drill In the critical thinking episode, the exercise was a debate. This one is a drill, and you'll need a partner, because you'll see the structure of someone else's problem more clearly than your own. Each of you brings one real problem with a number attached. Something current, where you don't know the answer. For example: turnover on your team, or a metric that went the wrong way. Swap problems and break each one into pieces on a single sheet of paper, with the pieces adding back up to the whole. Give it fifteen minutes. Circle where the problem concentrates, then find one exception. If you can't find one, you haven't split finely enough. Ask why until you hit something changeable. Write the pattern as one sentence that could turn out to be wrong. Hand it back. The owner designs one test they can run within a week that could prove the pattern false. Meet again after the test. Compare what you expected with what happened. The gap between the two is where you learn the most. The first time, it'll feel slow. By the third, you'll catch yourself taking problems apart in meetings before anyone has finished describing them. The Rewards After the outbreak passed, the authorities put the handle back on the Broad Street pump, and the official inquiry blamed the epidemic on bad air. Snow's analysis was right; it was on paper, and the people in charge rejected it anyway. It took years for everyone else to catch up with what he had worked out from a list of names and a few weeks of knocking on doors. This is the reality of what analytical thinking will and won't do for you. It won't make people believe you, and on its own it won't win the room. What it does is get you to the right answer while everyone else is still debating which expert to believe, and give you the evidence to back it up. It gives you the early insight that others are missing. The next time a number goes the wrong way, don't start by guessing at the cause. Get the details, break the problem into pieces, and work from there.  

In this session, attendees will be equipped to navigate the discernment process of identifying the best-fit sending agency for them.

Tyler Anbinder describes the perilous Atlantic crossing and the arrival of immigrants in Manhattan, detailing the horrific conditions on "coffin ships," where diseases like typhus and cholera spread rapidly in cramped steerage quarters. Upon arrival, families like the O'Donnells often settled in the Five Points, New York's most impoverished neighborhood, living in subdivided industrial buildings like the "Old Brewery." Most Irish men found backbreaking work as day laborers in construction. Despite these hardships, many were entrepreneurial; some, like Dennis O'Keefe, leveraged wartime tobacco shortages to build fortunes, while others utilized regional networks to dominate specific trades.

More To The Story: When Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, went looking for government agencies to axe last year, one of its first targets was the US Agency for International Development. Established during the Cold War to counter Soviet influence, USAID spent billions of dollars on food aid, public health, and emergency relief for some of the world's most vulnerable populations. In return, the US hoped to gain allies and goodwill. Call it a decades-long exercise in soft power. But since President Donald Trump returned to office, soft power is out. And so is USAID, which has been slashed and reorganized. The Trump administration is trying to close the agency altogether by September. This has led to some horrific consequences for the people who relied on USAID to survive. On this week's More To The Story, ProPublica's Anna Maria Barry-Jester and Brett Murphy join host Al Letson to talk about their on-the-ground reporting from Africa and how the Trump administration's aid cuts are leading to devastating, even deadly, consequences.Producer: Josh Sanburn | Editor: Kara McGuirk-Allison | Theme music: Fernando Arruda and Jim Briggs | Copy editor: Nikki Frick | Digital producer: Artis Curiskis | Deputy executive producer: Taki Telonidis | Executive producer: Brett Myers | Executive editor: James West | Host: Al LetsonRead: Russell Vought Raided USAID Budgets He Helped Gut to Pay for His Own Security (Mother Jones)Listen: How Project 2025 Is Reshaping Our Country (More To The Story)Read: Trump Officials Celebrated With Cake After Slashing Aid.

3. Survival and Hardship in New York's Five Points Famine immigrants endured the horrors of "coffin ships," where diseases like typhus and cholera claimed the lives of roughly ten percent of passengers. Upon arriving in New York with no formal inspection, many settled in the notorious Old Brewery tenement in Five Points. This squalid industrial building lacked basic ventilation and windows. Men like Bartholomew O'Donnell survived through grueling day labor, hauling heavy construction materials up rickety ladders. Despite these hardships, immigrants prioritized saving money in banks to protect their earnings from the high risks of fire and theft prevalent in crowded, lockless tenement housing. 31880 KILDARE

By the mid-1800's, the River Thames was essentially a massive sewer. People poured their waste into it. They also drank from it. That combination resulted in thousands of deaths. People weren't sure what caused the deaths, but in the summer of 1858, when the temperatures rose and the water levels dropped, London stunk to high heaven. It took a lot of money, creativity, and an incredible act of civil engineering from Sir Joseph Bazalgette to fix the Great Stink. Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources!

Cholera, HIV/AIDS, the Spanish Flu, Sleeping Sickness, Ebola and COVID-19 – in Edna Bonhomme's groundbreaking analysis of six pivotal moments in medical history, the pandemic is revealed to be inevitably political. Urgent and illuminating, A History of the World in Six Plagues is far more than a history of disease – it is a call to reimagine a more equitable future in the face of ongoing global health challenges. Edna Bonhomme was in conversation with journalist and novelist Rachel Connolly.

Why is data so important in the healthcare sector? This week, Technology Now is diving into the world of data analysis in healthcare. We will be asking how different methods of data analysis can lead to different outcomes, we'll be exploring how AI can be used to help find patterns in huge quantities of data, and we'll be asking how historical legal rulings still influence our healthcare sector today. Lisa Marceau founder and CEO of Joyous and Alpha Millennial Health, tells us more.This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week, hosts Michael Bird and Sam Jarrell look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organizations.About Lisa:https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisamarceau/Sources: https://www.londonmuseum.org.uk/collections/london-stories/john-snow-cholera-broad-street-pump/Tulchinsky TH.

Providing primary health care in a war zone presents some extraordinary challenges. This presentation delves into the complex world of healthcare delivery amid conflict and chaos.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 3-05-2026: Dr. Dawn demonstrates how to critically read a science paper using a widely-publicized study claiming adolescent cannabis use causes psychotic, bipolar, and anxiety disorders. She identifies multiple methodological problems: only 5.7% of Kaiser adolescents admitted cannabis use versus 11.2% in anonymous national surveys, suggesting massive underreporting; the study conflates any use with heavy use; and with 463,000 participants, trivially small differences become statistically significant but clinically meaningless. She proposes reverse causation—that prodromal schizophrenia symptoms may drive teens to self-medicate with cannabis rather than cannabis causing psychosis. The study also included "disruptive behavior disorder" diagnoses that lack rigorous criteria, and she notes diagnostic codes are sometimes chosen for insurance reimbursement rather than accuracy. While acknowledging high-dose THC before age 16 may affect brain development, she concludes the headlines claiming causation are not supported by the actual findings. Dr. Dawn discusses how aquaculture—now producing 60% of fish consumed globally—has become a breeding ground for antibiotic-resistant pathogens. More antibiotics per kilogram are used in fish farming than in any other animal agriculture, with drugs dissolving into water and sediment where bacteria develop resistance. One study found antibiotic-resistant bacteria in over 80% of shrimp species tested across multiple countries. Through horizontal gene transfer, these resistance genes spread to human pathogens—a 1991 Latin American cholera outbreak affecting nearly a million people may have acquired drug resistance from Ecuadorian shrimp farms. Dr. Dawn reports that the FDA rejected Moderna's mRNA flu vaccine application without even reviewing it, despite trials of 41,000 people showing it was 27% more effective at preventing illness and 29% more effective at preventing hospitalization than existing vaccines. She attributes this to politicized anti-mRNA bias lacking scientific basis, noting that venture capital investors like Blackstone (who invested $750 million) will now avoid vaccine development, effectively handing this critical technology to other countries. Dr. Dawn describes the "wellness industrial complex"—pharmaceuticals, tech, testing companies, and health influencers creating content that pathologizes normal behaviors. YouTube health videos have amassed 200 billion views, and 30% of British respondents now get medical advice from AI chatbots. She cites a 400% increase in British adults seeking ADHD diagnoses, noting that analysis of top TikTok ADHD videos found less than 50% accurately reflected actual symptoms. Many influencers receive undisclosed payments to mention products, and the U.S. and New Zealand are the only countries allowing direct-to-consumer drug advertising. A caller asks about navigating Medicare after their Advantage plan was terminated with no local providers accepting remaining plans. Dr. Dawn explains that Medicare Advantage companies took extra government payments meant for wellness programs but didn't build them, and are now exiting markets as costs rise. She recommends contacting Gray Bears or AARP for free Medicare navigation assistance and suggests exploring regular Medicare with a secondary plan or direct-pay practices. /li>

Water cleanliness and proper sanitation are non-negotiables.In this one, Ian and Liv take it back to the 1800s, where a public water pump was a vessel of disease for the working class folks of London. Cholera, typhoid fever, dysentery, and a myriad of other bacterial diseases were spreading like wild fire, and it wouldn't be a true 1800's nightmare without the Men in Charge of All the Things (London Chapter) denying the claims of the scientists.Also, Liv starts a new band. Ian begins panicking over moving in two weeks.

In the fog-shrouded streets of 1880s Leiden, a woman everyone called "Good Mary" brought food to the sick, consoled the grieving, and prepared the dead for burial. For three years, she was the angel of her neighborhood—the trusted caregiver who helped when no one else would. No one suspected that the porridge she served was laced with arsenic. No one questioned why so many of her patients died. Until a doctor noticed somethingMaria Swanenburg's victims included 27 confirmed deaths among the most vulnerable members of Victorian Leiden's working-class community. Among them were her own parents—Johanna Dingjan and Clemens Swanenburg—murdered for whatever meager inheritance they might leave. Two young sisters died while Maria babysat them, followed by attempted poisonings of six mourners at their wake, including their pregnant mother.The Frankhuizen family lost three members: Maria Frankhuizen, her infant son, and her husband Hendrik, whose agonizing final days would ultimately expose the killer. Elderly neighbors who trusted Maria with their care, relatives who welcomed her help, and community members who saw her as Goeie Mie—"Good Mary"—all fell victim to her arsenic-laced kindness. Another 45 survivors lived with permanent health damage, many walking Leiden's streets on crutches for the rest of their lives.Between 1880 and 1883, Maria Swanenburg systematically poisoned at least 102 people in Leiden, Netherlands, killing 27 and permanently disabling dozens more. Operating in disease-ridden working-class neighborhoods where cholera deaths were common, she exploited the era's limited medical knowledge and the community's trust in her caregiving reputation.Maria purchased arsenic from multiple pharmacies across Leiden—ostensibly for pest control—accumulating lethal quantities without raising suspicion. She poisoned her victims through food and drink while nursing them, then collected on small life insurance policies she'd secretly taken out. When victims displayed symptoms of violent gastric distress, doctors assumed cholera or typhoid. When they died, Maria helped prepare their bodies for burial and consoled grieving families.Her downfall came in December 1883 when Dr. Wijnand Rutgers van der Loeff connected multiple patients with identical symptoms to one common factor: all had been under Maria Swanenburg's care.The Investigation: Dr. van der Loeff's suspicions led police to arrest Maria on December 15, 1883. When searched, she carried multiple insurance policies in her pockets—policies taken out on people currently under her care. Authorities exhumed thirteen bodies from Leiden cemeteries; all tested positive for arsenic.The Trial: Proceedings began April 23, 1885, drawing national attention. Medical experts explained how arsenic accumulated in victims' tissues. Family members testified about their loved ones' rapid deterioration under Maria's care. Throughout, she maintained an eerily calm demeanor, claiming she was being framed.The Verdict: On May 1, 1885, Maria Swanenburg was convicted of three murders from the Frankhuizen family case—though prosecutors had evidence for 27 deaths. She became the first woman in Dutch history to receive a life sentence.The Sentence: Maria was sent to Gorinchem Correctional Facility, where she died on April 11, 1915, at age 75, having served thirty years.Victorian Leiden provided the perfect hunting ground for a poisoner. The textile industry had drawn workers into overcrowded slums where families of ten lived in cramped cottages with earthen floors, no sanitation, and no ventilation. Cholera, typhoid, and tuberculosis killed regularly. Child mortality was staggeringly high. Doctors rarely visited poor districts because residents couldn't pay.In this environment, additional deaths barely registered. Arsenic was legally sold in pharmacies for pest control with minimal regulation—no questions asked, no records kept. The poison was tasteless, odorless, and produced symptoms indistinguishable from endemic diseases without expensive chemical analysis that the poor could never afford.Maria's role as a community caregiver—taking in elderly boarders, nursing the sick, preparing bodies for burial—gave her unlimited access to vulnerable victims and made suspicion seem impossible. She was Goeie Mie. Good Mary. The angel.Primary research for this episode draws from Dutch criminal archives and the work of historian Stefan Glasbergen, whose book on Maria Swanenburg provides crucial contemporary documentation including court testimony and neighborhood accounts.The case fundamentally changed Dutch law. Following Maria's conviction, the Netherlands implemented strict regulations on arsenic sales, requiring pharmacies to maintain detailed purchase records and verify legitimate need. Dutch law enforcement developed standardized protocols for investigating suspicious deaths and recognizing serial murder patterns.The Swanenburg case became a cornerstone study in criminal investigation training throughout Europe, demonstrating how serial killers exploit community trust and institutional blind spots to operate undetected for years.For those interested in exploring this case further:The Rijksmuseum van Oudheden in Leiden maintains records from the Victorian eraDutch National Archives hold original court documents from the 1885 trialAcademic studies on Victorian-era poisoning cases and forensic toxicology developmentMaria Swanenburg's victims trusted her completely. She was their neighbor, their caregiver, their friend. In the fog-shrouded slums of Victorian Leiden, the angel of the neighborhood was actually its deadliest predator—and the 45 survivors on crutches walked as permanent reminders of her betrayal.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/foul-play-crime-series/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this episode, we hear how Generative AI is making it into the consultation room - but not through NHS endorsed routes - surveys suggest that ⅔ of doctors are using AI, for backoffice tasks - but also increasingly for information and diagnosis.   David Navarro, a research fellow in generative AI at the Australian Institute of Health Innovation, Charlotte Blease, associate professor at the Participatory eHealth and Health Data Research Group at Uppsala University, and Marcus Lewis, GP in London, reflect on what we know about the real way in gen AI is being used - and what “triadic care” (doctor, patient and AI) will mean for the future of the therapeutic relationship.   We also hear from Teppo Järvinen, professor of orthopaedic surgery at Helsinki University, about surgical subacromial decompression - a 10 year follow up of a double blinded placebo controlled trial, confirms that surgery is no more effective than standard care. Yet surgical interventions continue - we hear why.   Finally, we go to a Cholera clinic in Nigeria, where Médecins Sans Frontières are running cholera treatment centres, which you can help by donating to our Christmas appeal.   Links Generative AI and the clinical encounter   The BMJ appeal 2025-26: Inside MSF's response to cholera in Nigeria: a day in the life of an emergency doctor   Arthroscopic subacromial decompression versus placebo surgery for subacromial pain syndrome

Im Sudan führt die Regierung gegen Rebellen einen grausamen Bürgerkrieg. Viele Menschen fliehen in den benachbarten Tschad. Weil immer mehr Staaten die Gelder für humanitäre Hilfe kürzen, mangelt es an finanzieller Unterstützung. Die USA etwa haben ihr USAID-Programm zerschlagen, aber auch die EU und Deutschland haben gekürzt. Wir sprechen mit WDR-Reporter Tobias Dammers, der im Tschad war und sich vor Ort ein Bild von der Situation der Geflüchteten gemacht hat. Er berichtet davon, wie schwierig es für Hilfsorganisationen ist, elementare Hilfe zu leisten, wenn die Mittel dafür fehlen. Er hat Mitarbeiter des Flüchtlingshilfswerks der Vereinten Nationen (UNHCR) begleitet, die verzweifelt versuchen, gegen das Leid der Menschen und auch die Ausbreitung von Krankheiten zu kämpfen. Hilfsorganisationen, die in der Vergangenheit für sauberes Trinkwasser und Latrinen gesorgt haben, mussten ihre Arbeit einschränken. Die Folge: Es drohen Ausbrüche von Seuchen, wie z.B. der Cholera. Mit Stefan Brand von der Organisation „Help – Hilfe zur Selbsthilfe“ sprechen wir über die weltweiten Auswirkungen dieses Wegfalls humanitärer Hilfe. Wir gehen darauf ein, was dies konkret für eine Hilfsorganisation wie „Help“ bedeutet und fragen auch, warum es wichtig ist, dass sich reichere Länder an der Hilfe für Menschen in Not beteiligen.

Today, I'm once again joined by an amazing speaker, client, and member of The Big Talk community, Kristina DiPalo. Kristina awakens people and organizations stuck between the future they imagined and the one they are living. Leveraging the concept of icons and iconoclasts, she uses her experience as a strategic leader to help clients break worn-out definitions and navigate toward a future of growth and possibility. In our conversation, Kristina shares her journey through a watershed moment—when her roles as wife, daughter, and professional were all shifting—and how reconnecting with the icons of her youth (Debbie Harry, Shirley Chisholm, Billie Jean King, and Millicent Fenwick) helped her realize she'd drifted from who she truly was. In this episode, we'll explore: How to identify your watershed moment—when what you are is out of alignment with who you are—and why the tension you feel is actually a powerful signal for change The difference between the roles you play (mom, professional, partner) and who you truly are at your core Why becoming an iconoclast doesn't mean dramatic life changes, but rather breaking small daily compromises that have steered you away from your authentic self How to use courage and faith to consciously redefine yourself when you realize you're living someone else's definition of who you should be Current Favorites: Books: The Last Temptation of Christ & Love in the Time of Cholera, Speaker: Spalding Gray, and Podcasts: The Iconic Podcast & The Bulwark Podcast More from Kristina DiPalo Her first appearances on The Big Talk podcast in Episode 555 and Episode 578 Website: https://kristinadipalo.com/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristinadipalo/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kristinadipalo/    More from Tricia  Unlock your potential and grow your speaking business during The Art of The Big Talk, my LIVE Two-Day Virtual Masterclass Join me LIVE for my Free Monthly Workshop Explore my content and follow me on YouTube Follow me on Instagram  Connect with me on Facebook  Connect with me on LinkedIn  Visit my website at TriciaBrouk.com

Today we uncover an invisible killer hidden, for over a hundred years, by reasonable disbelief. Science journalist extraordinaire Carl Zimmer tells us the story of a centuries-long battle of ideas that came to a head, with tragic consequences, in the very recent past. His latest book, called Airborne, details a  largely forgotten history of science that never quite managed to get off the ground. Along the way, Carl helps us understand how we can fail, over and over again, to see a truth right in front of our faces. And how we finally came around thanks to scientific evidence hidden inside a song.EPISODE CREDITS:Reported by - Carl ZimmerProduced by - Sarah Qariwith mixing help from - Jeremy BloomFact-checking by - Natalie MiddletonEPISODE CITATIONS:Books -  Check out Carl Zimmer's new book, Airborne (https://zpr.io/Q5bdYrubcwE4).Articles -  Read about the study on the Skagit Valley Chorale COVID superspreading event (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32979298/).Signup for our newsletter!!
