Podcasts about medical negligence

Bongani Bingwa speaks with Minister of Health Dr Aaron Motsoaledi following Tiger Brands' long-awaited settlement in the class-action lawsuit linked to the 2017–2018 listeriosis outbreak. The crisis, which claimed 218 lives and affected over 1,000 individuals, was traced to the Enterprise Foods facility in Polokwane. For survivors and bereaved families, the resolution brings some closure but not without a legacy of grief, medical hardship, and unresolved trauma. Among the most harrowing cases was that of six-year-old Theto Ngobeni, whose health complications and emotional suffering remain a tragic emblem of the outbreak's toll. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Former All Whites goalkeeper Jake Gleeson says he contemplated taking his life after prolonged surgeries turned into a battle for survival and forced his early retirement. In August 2018, while contracted to the Portland Timbers in the United States, Gleeson had surgery to treat stress fractures in both legs. It should have been a routine procedure, but he developed osteomyelitis from an infection. What followed was not only a physical struggle but an emotional descent that would push him to the brink. Fourteen surgeries later, and nearly five years after Gleeson began legal action, a jury found doctor Richard Edelson guilty of medical negligence for failing to properly disinfect the plates inserted into Gleeson's legs before the initial operation. Gleeson, now 34, was awarded US$20.4 million (NZ$35.7m) in damages. What was meant to be a three-month stint on the sidelines turned into a nightmare of medical complications and forced Gleeson to retire, having made 59 appearances for the Timbers and winning eight caps for the All Whites between 2011 and 2014. The fallout has been brutal for Gleeson, who struggles to complete mundane tasks such as exercising. The mental toll has been equally devastating. Speaking to Newstalk ZB's Jason Pine on Weekend Sport, Gleeson says he reached a point where he considered taking his life. “I'd been prescribed so many opioids, like painkillers and anti-anxiety medication, I filled this pill jar up with enough pills that I know that if I took it all at once it would kill me. “I drove out a few times to different places around Portland with that. I had that around me for ... a few months and there were some close calls where I thought that that was going to be the day. “There were points I just didn't want to live any more. Simple as that. “But I never went through with it, which I'm happy about. The last few years have been a slow climb out of a very deep, dark hole.” After his initial surgery, things appeared normal but, after two weeks, an infection on his right leg appeared. Antibiotics initially worked, but the infection worsened and he needed a second operation. At this point, pus was coming out of the wound and Gleeson was given a PICC line - a type of catheter - that was pumping antibiotics from his leg to an artery near the heart. It was a further two weeks before the plate in his right leg came out. Days later, problems began in his left leg. Portland Timbers goalkeeper Jake Gleeson shows his disappointment after the the 4-1 loss against Real Salt Lake in 2017. Photo / Getty Images “I saw that same redness, same warmth, same everything that was a sign of infection, and they pulled that plate out straight away. “Because I developed osteomyelitis in my right leg, essentially the infection had travelled through my blood and settled on the foreign hardware on my left leg. “If they had just removed the plate on the first surgery, or even checked the underside of it to know that that's where the infection was, we could have avoided a lot more of the surgeries that I went through.” Gleeson had another appointment with Edelson, who was pleased with the recovery of the left leg, but problems were still occurring with the right. Despite raising concerns, Gleeson was told “it's just bad blood flow, the wound will heal and you're fine”. An angry Gleeson consulted another team doctor and was immediately rushed to hospital, where he had three surgeries in five days to clear the osteomyelitis and dead bone. “They had to go in and chunk out parts of my bone and there was dead tissue in there,” he recalls. “My body had gone septic and I had a 40-degree temperature, cuddling a bag of ice on my couch with all this medicine still coursing through me every week.” It was at this point that he found out Edelson had not properly sanitised an orthopaedic plate, after realising he was missing one and bringing one in from an outside facility during the surgery. As Gleeson improved after working with a new doctor, he opted to have metal rods inserted into both legs in February 2019 in an effort to save his career. He had four more operations but the rod in his right leg became immediately infected. Three weeks later, doctors said the rods had to come out. In July 2020, Gleeson formally began legal action. Finally, on March 29, a Multnomah County jury in Portland agreed that Edelson had violated his duty of care and awarded NZ$35.7m to Gleeson. “This is the first step and, once again, a very long path,” says Gleeson. “I don't think it's sunk in yet. I'm very tired still. “The money is a bonus once we figure out what it all looks like, because I'm not currently sitting with a huge cheque in my account. “Once it settles and is confirmed, I've already started conversations with some local groups around here to highlight this, and I want to kind of utilise it also to bring attention to mental health, especially for athletes. “I would like to go somewhere nice with my fiancée and throw my phone in a lockbox somewhere and take a week to take some deep breaths and start to put this all behind us as we move forward with our lives.” He says the Timbers club was poorly managed at the time and “swept me under the rug”. The figures involved have since gone and he is excited about attending his first Timbers match since the ordeal later this month. He says he would do anything to be able to step onto the pitch one last time, but is looking forward to be involved again in the sport he loves, having initially walked away from it. He is also looking forward to seeing the All Whites in action at next year's World Cup, which is being co-hosted by the USA, Canada and Mexico. “I couldn't be more excited for the All Whites and the boys on the team that I know and all the young guns coming through. “They're an impressive bunch, so I'll be there supporting them for sure. Hopefully they can cause some upsets.” SUICIDE AND DEPRESSION Where to get help:• Lifeline: Call 0800 543 354 or text 4357 (HELP) (available 24/7)• Suicide Crisis Helpline: Call 0508 828 865 (0508 TAUTOKO) (available 24/7)• Youth services: (06) 3555 906• Youthline: Call 0800 376 633 or text 234• What's Up: Call 0800 942 8787 (11am to 11pm) or webchat (11am to 10.30pm)• Depression helpline: Call 0800 111 757 or text 4202 (available 24/7)• Helpline: Need to talk?

In this telugu podcast episode, we sit down with Dr. A. Gurava Reddy, the celebrated orthopedic surgeon and CEO of Sunshine Hospitals, for an in-depth conversation about modern healthcare, bone health, medical ethics, and personal life experiences. Dr. Reddy, known for his expertise in joint replacements and healthcare management, sheds light on the realities of being a doctor in today's world. With hospitals often depicted negatively in films, such as in the movie Tagore starring Chiranjeevi, Dr. Reddy offers his perspective on how such portrayals influence public perception and the challenges doctors face in gaining patients' trust. We also discuss whether hospitals like Sunshine have specific targets and how the healthcare system balances financial goals with quality patient care. Dr. Reddy addresses pressing topics like how “sitting is the new smoking,” explaining the dangers of prolonged sitting and improper posture. He shares practical tips on choosing the right pillow and chair to maintain a healthy posture. The conversation takes an interesting turn as we explore whether it's better to sleep on a mattress or directly on the floor, and the pros and cons of each option. The episode offers valuable insights into sciatica and its impact, with Dr. Reddy detailing how severe back pain during pregnancy can be managed. He talks about the effects of the “relaxin hormone” on women's bodies during pregnancy and suggests ways to provide relief for expecting mothers. Another major topic we touch upon is the harmful impact of smoking on bone health, as Dr. Reddy explains how smoking, soda consumption, and excessive caffeine intake contribute to osteoporosis by making bones brittle. He emphasizes the importance of weight-bearing exercises and a diet rich in cheese, fish, nuts, mushrooms, fortified cereals, and tofu to maintain healthy bones. We further delve into the credibility of PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) injections for knee pain. Are these treatments a genuine breakthrough or just another scam? Dr. Reddy offers his candid opinion on PRP and similar treatments, cautioning viewers about the deceptive practices of some doctors who exploit vulnerable patients. Our discussion also covers the controversial topic of high heels, evaluating whether they are detrimental to long-term health and how often they can be worn without adverse effects. The conversation highlights the challenges of finding reliable doctors in today's digital age, where misinformation is rampant on social media. Dr. Reddy reflects on why India lacks a robust system to rate doctors like the US, and he discusses the ethical concerns around fake doctors performing unnecessary surgeries on rural patients to benefit from Arogya Shree funds. He also shares his thoughts on medical negligence and explains the difference between complications and malpractice, providing insight into how insurance and consumer forums help protect both doctors and patients. Dr. Reddy addresses the rising issue of lower back pain among teenagers, attributing it to a lack of playgrounds, ventilation, and physical exercise in schools. We discuss his perspective on trauma management, the importance of hip replacements, and the increased frequency of joint pain post-COVID, which has puzzled both doctors and patients. On a personal note, Dr. Reddy opens up about his work with the Sarvejana Foundation and the STOP initiative for accident prevention. He shares how these social causes are funded and how he manages to balance his time between his professional and philanthropic work. The conversation also touches on the physical toll of bad roads, which Dr. Reddy believes contribute significantly to back and joint pain. This podcast provides a holistic view of healthcare, medical ethics, and personal growth. Dr. Gurava Reddy's candid answers and practical advice on topics like bone health, posture, medical scams, and mental wellness offer invaluable takeaways.

Send us a textWhat would you do if your child died as a result of medical negligence and doctors and the police colluded to cover it up? That's what happened in the case of ten-year-old Robbie Powell.His parents are campaigning for all healthcare professionals to be legally obligated to tell the truth following a negligent death. They're supported by the former Parliamentary Health Service Ombudsman Sir Rob Behrens CBE  says: "Mr Powell was personally traduced by doctors, by regulators by the police service, by the Crown Prosecution Service, by politicians in a way which is just unacceptable. He was patronised and he never gave up." Robbie died from Addison's Disease. He could have been saved if  doctors had carried out the necessary tests and informed the family of the risks. Instead, numerous medics failed him and spent 30 years covering it up.In this podcast Robbie's father Will Powell and Sir Rob Behrens join me to discuss the Powell family's relentless pursuit of truth and justice and the systemic failures that have deprived his family of justice for more than 30 years. Support the showhttps://www.angelawalkerreports.com/

The Federal Court recently ruled that private hospitals can also be held liable for medical negligence, meaning that not all the responsibility falls on the doctor alone.

We've all heard the stories of doctors who cause harm to patients by systematically performing medically unnecessary procedures, just to line their own pockets.  These circumstances rise to a level beyond ordinary medical negligence to fraud or criminal acts.  However, when we litigate individual medical malpractice cases, the rules of discovery and evidence can pose barriers that make it difficult to determine whether a client's experience reflects a larger pattern and practice by the doctor and the medical business.  Join us for our discussion with Washington, DC trial lawyer, Katie Bertram, as she tells the story of a case in which she was able to show this larger pattern of a doctor performing medically unnecessary medical procedures in an out-patient surgery center setting that provides very few checks and balances on this type of rogue behavior. About Catherine "Katie" Bertram Website: https://www.blg-dc.com/ Catherine D. “Katie” Bertram started the Bertram & Murphy, building on decades of experience as both a medical malpractice attorney and director of risk management at Georgetown University Hospital. In those environments, she learned how doctors and hospitals work, as well as how their attorneys assess claims against them. She draws on this knowledge to advocate for patients and their families. “People want someone who's competent, caring, and careful. They've just gone through the worst thing in their lives and been betrayed by doctors or a hospital — people that we're supposed to trust,” she said. “I can set forth what happened and why it was negligent.” Bertram graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a bachelor's degree in psychology and a Bachelor of Social Work. While accompanying a social worker to court one day, she found her true passion—the law. “The minute I walked into court, I knew that's what I should be doing,” she said. She obtained her law degree from the Catholic University of America's Columbus School of Law in Washington, D.C., in 1989, becoming the first lawyer in her family. The faculty nominated her as Woman Law Student of the Year. Bertram focuses on personal injury and medical malpractice in part because her mother is a nurse. “It allows me to combine the law and medicine,” she said. “I enjoy talking to juries and teaching them about complicated medical cases in an easier way.” Bertram has achieved several distinctions throughout her career. She is one of 20 people serving on the D.C. Bar's Board of Governors and also is a board member of the D.C. Bar Pro Bono Center, which finds lawyers to meet the legal needs of D.C.'s low-income residents, nonprofits, and small businesses. She's been an adjunct law professor at American University's Washington College of Law since 2013, teaching a course about medical malpractice. Among her charitable work, she is an active supporter of Public Citizen, the nonprofit consumer advocacy organization, and a founding member of the Washington, D.C., charity Power 100. She also sews quilts for military veterans through the Quilts of Valor Foundation. Licensed to practice in Washington, D.C., and in Maryland, Bertram has a notable record of favorable verdicts. In 2017, she won $8 million on behalf of her clients against Edward Dunne, M.D., and Foxhall Urology, and in 2018, she won a $1.25 million verdict against Capital Women's Care and others for negligence and negligent infliction of emotional distress. But even though she and her firm have a strong track record, she and Heather J. Kelly also work hard to settle cases in their clients' best interests. If they're able to reach a settlement before formally filing the case, they'll lower their fees. A third-generation Washingtonian, Bertram enjoys spending time with her family and on the Chesapeake Bay when not in court. She's proud of the individualized attention that the Bertram & Murphy provides. “I can limit the number of cases I take so I can work very hard on each case,” Bertram said. “We have the time and the creativity and the resources and the technology and the verdicts behind us like we're a big firm, but you don't deal with layers and layers of people. You're getting the A team.”

In a pivotal ruling by the Federal Court, a private hospital was held accountable for medical negligence, refuting claims of doctors acting as independent contractors.

Medical Gaslighting  Examples & what I learned this week... Do you know what medical gaslighting is? Today we're talking medical gaslighting examples, because what I learned this week is that gaslighting is a 2022 word of the year! That's right! It's happened so often, to so many people, that Merriam-Webster (the dictionary people) named "gaslighting" as one of the 2022 words of the year!  I've heard so many medical gaslighting examples from my friends, people I've interviewed, and my own family that I've decided to create a podcast about it. So it's not just going to be something I learned this week, but continue to learn about and fight against in the future. Would you like to join me? GO HERE to fill out a contact form & let me know you'd like to be featured. Here are some medical gaslighting examples questions. (If you say 'yes' to more than 2, you might have encountered it:  Does your doctor interrupt you/do they not allow you to tell what's happening?  Do they tell you they don't even want to talk about your symptoms, or clearly stop listening when you explain?  Does your doctor seem like they're not even listening at all?  Do they minimize your symptoms or act like they're not important?  Do they question the amount of pain that you say you have?  Do they refuse to order labs or other testing to confirm or rule out a diagnosis that you might have?  Are they condescending to you or do they make you feel like you're stupid? And do they tell you that your symptoms are caused by a mental illness like anxiety or depression, but then not get you help for that?  Find out how, and what you can do to make your life better in today's episode Thank you for joining me today!

Grief is cumulative, and it's cumulatively negative. Every loss we experience stacks on top of those before it. For Genesis Amaris Kemp, attending funerals started becoming a regular occurrence. Add the loss of loved ones before the Covid pandemic (and during) to the loss of a job during the same timeframe, and it can be challenging to find solid footing. Additionally, learning, for the first time, how to advocate for a parent in the healthcare system posed its challenges during this same period. Genesis's father walked into a hospital with elevated blood sugar. Three days later, he was paralyzed from the waist down, which was later identified to have occurred from a stroke. Additionally, he endured several other complications during his hospital stay that later caused a quick decline in health and, soon after, his death.  Trying to be a caregiver during Covid proved to show the disparity and gaps in the healthcare system. In addition to the losses she endured during the pandemic, she also was laid off from her corporate job in oil and gas. Genesis shares her experience of being a young black woman in a predominantly older white demographic of employment, describing that experience and sharing how one conversation with the company VP, and the experience as a whole, was empowering, heartbreaking, and eye-opening all at the same time. The Covid Pandemic showed us where we have a lot of work and repair to do within the healthcare system and how we live and work as a society. Genesis shares the lessons she learned during this timeframe and how she's become impassioned in serving others with what she's learned.

Eir got pregnant unexpectedly after years of suffering from endometriosis. During her pregnancy, she had two partial placental abruptions and was put on bed rest. At about six months pregnant, Eir began to have severe pain in her abdomen. She tried multiple times to call her doctor, but was written off as a first-time mom who was experiencing ligament pain. Even with her history of TWO partial abruptions, her pain was not taken seriously. When Eir went into labor, her water broke first. Contractions never started, even with Pitocin. But the pain in her abdomen got worse. When they checked her baby's heart rate, they knew something was wrong. Eir was rushed to the OR for an emergency c-section, where they discovered she had a severe infection. She went septic, clinically died, and was brought back. Due to hospital negligence, her daughter almost died as well. Eir shares how crucial it is to stand up for yourself and your baby, even to medical professionals who think they know your body better than you do. She stresses the importance of having a great support team to help advocate for you, and how you can still create a life that you will love, despite past trauma.
