Listen to ASCO's JCO Oncology Practice, Art of Oncology Practice article, "An Oncologist's Guide to Ensuring Your First Medical Grand Rounds Will Be Your Last” by Dr. David Johnson, who is a clinical oncologist at University of Texas Southwestern Medical School. The article is followed by an interview with Johnson and host Dr. Mikkael Sekeres. Through humor and irony, Johnson critiques how overspecialization and poor presentation practices have eroded what was once internal medicine's premier educational forum. Transcript Narrator: An Oncologist's Guide to Ensuring Your First Medical Grand Rounds Will Be Your Last, by David H. Johnson, MD, MACP, FASCO   Over the past five decades, I have attended hundreds of medical conferences—some insightful and illuminating, others tedious and forgettable. Among these countless gatherings, Medical Grand Rounds (MGRs) has always held a special place. Originally conceived as a forum for discussing complex clinical cases, emerging research, and best practices in patient care, MGRs served as a unifying platform for clinicians across all specialties, along with medical students, residents, and other health care professionals. Expert speakers—whether esteemed faculty or distinguished guests—would discuss challenging cases, using them as a springboard to explore the latest advances in diagnosis and treatment. During my early years as a medical student, resident, and junior faculty member, Grand Rounds consistently attracted large, engaged audiences. However, as medicine became increasingly subspecialized, attendance began to wane. Lectures grew more technically intricate, often straying from broad clinical relevance. The patient-centered discussions that once brought together diverse medical professionals gradually gave way to hyperspecialized presentations. Subspecialists, once eager to share their insights with the wider medical community, increasingly withdrew to their own specialty-specific conferences, further fragmenting the exchange of knowledge across disciplines. As a former Chair of Internal Medicine and a veteran of numerous MGRs, I observed firsthand how these sessions shifted from dynamic educational exchanges to highly specialized, often impenetrable discussions. One of the most striking trends in recent years has been the decline in presentation quality at MGR—even among local and visiting world-renowned experts. While these speakers are often brilliant clinicians and investigators, they can also be remarkably poor lecturers, delivering some of the most uninspiring talks I have encountered. Their presentations are so consistently lackluster that one might suspect an underlying strategy at play—an unspoken method to ensure that they are never invited back. Having observed this pattern repeatedly, I am convinced that these speakers must be adhering to a set of unwritten rules to avoid future MGR presentations. To assist those unfamiliar with this apparent strategy, I have distilled the key principles that, when followed correctly, all but guarantee that a presenter will not be asked to give another MGR lecture—thus sparing them the burden of preparing one in the future. Drawing on my experience as an oncologist, I illustrate these principles using an oncology-based example although I suspect similar rules apply across other subspecialties. It will be up to my colleagues in cardiology, endocrinology, rheumatology, and beyond to identify and document their own versions—tasks for which I claim no expertise. What follows are the seven “Rules for Presenting a Bad Medical Oncology Medical Grand Rounds.” 1.  Microscopic Mayhem: Always begin with an excruciatingly detailed breakdown of the tumor's histology and molecular markers, emphasizing how these have evolved over the years (eg, PAP v prostate-specific antigen)—except, of course, when they have not (eg, estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, etc). These nuances, while of limited relevance to general internists or most subspecialists (aside from oncologists), are guaranteed to induce eye-glazing boredom and quiet despair among your audience. 2. TNM Torture: Next, cover every nuance of the newest staging system … this is always a real crowd pleaser. For illustrative purposes, show a TNM chart in the smallest possible font. It is particularly helpful if you provide a lengthy review of previous versions of the staging system and painstakingly cover each and every change in the system. Importantly, this activity will allow you to disavow the relevance of all previous literature studies to which you will subsequently refer during the course of your presentation … to wit—“these data are based on the OLD staging system and therefore may not pertain …” This phrase is pure gold—use it often if you can. NB: You will know you have “captured” your audience if you observe audience members “shifting in their seats” … it occurs almost every time … but if you have failed to “move” the audience … by all means, continue reading … there is more! 3. Mechanism of Action Meltdown: Discuss in detail every drug ever used to treat the cancer under discussion; this works best if you also give a detailed description of each drug's mechanism of action (MOA). General internists and subspecialists just LOVE hearing a detailed discussion of the drug's MOA … especially if it is not at all relevant to the objectives of your talk. At this point, if you observe a wave of slack-jawed faces slowly slumping toward their desktops, you will know you are on your way to successfully crushing your audience's collective spirit. Keep going—you are almost there. 4. Dosage Deadlock: One must discuss “dose response” … there is absolutely nothing like a dose response presentation to a group of internists to induce cries of anguish. A wonderful example of how one might weave this into a lecture to generalists or a mixed audience of subspecialists is to discuss details that ONLY an oncologist would care about—such as the need to dose escalate imatinib in GIST patients with exon 9 mutations as compared with those with exon 11 mutations. This is a definite winner! 5. Criteria Catatonia: Do not forget to discuss the newest computed tomography or positron emission tomography criteria for determining response … especially if you plan to discuss an obscure malignancy that even oncologists rarely encounter (eg, esthesioneuroblastoma). Should you plan to discuss a common disease you can ensure ennui only if you will spend extra time discussing RECIST criteria. Now if you do this well, some audience members may begin fashioning their breakfast burritos into projectiles—each one aimed squarely at YOU. Be brave … soldier on! 6. Kaplan-Meier Killer: Make sure to discuss the arcane details of multiple negative phase II and III trials pertaining to the cancer under discussion. It is best to show several inconsequential and hard-to-read Kaplan-Meier plots. To make sure that you do a bad job, divide this portion of your presentation into two sections … one focused on adjuvant treatment; the second part should consist of a long boring soliloquy on the management of metastatic disease. Provide detailed information of little interest even to the most ardent fan of the disease you are discussing. This alone will almost certainly ensure that you will never, ever be asked to give Medicine Grand Rounds again. 7. Lymph Node Lobotomy: For the coup de grâce, be sure to include an exhaustive discussion of the latest surgical techniques, down to the precise number of lymph nodes required for an “adequate dissection.” To be fair, such details can be invaluable in specialized settings like a tumor board, where they send subspecialists into rapturous delight. But in the context of MGR—where the audience spans multiple disciplines—it will almost certainly induce a stultifying torpor. If dullness were an art, this would be its masterpiece—capable of lulling even the most caffeinated minds into a stupor. If you have carefully followed the above set of rules, at this point, some members of the audience should be banging their heads against the nearest hard surface. If you then hear a loud THUD … and you're still standing … you will know you have succeeded in giving the world's worst Medical Grand Rounds!   Final Thoughts I hope that these rules shed light on what makes for a truly dreadful oncology MGR presentation—which, by inverse reasoning, might just serve as a blueprint for an excellent one. At its best, an outstanding lecture defies expectations. One of the most memorable MGRs I have attended, for instance, was on prostaglandin function—not a subject typically associated with edge-of-your-seat suspense. Given by a biochemist and physician from another subspecialty, it could have easily devolved into a labyrinth of enzymatic pathways and chemical structures. Instead, the speaker took a different approach: rather than focusing on biochemical minutiae, he illustrated how prostaglandins influence nearly every major physiologic system—modulating inflammation, regulating cardiovascular function, protecting the gut, aiding reproduction, supporting renal function, and even influencing the nervous system—without a single slide depicting the prostaglandin structure. The result? A room full of clinicians—not biochemists—walked away with a far richer understanding of how prostaglandins affect their daily practice. What is even more remarkable is that the talk's clarity did not just inform—it sparked new collaborations that shaped years of NIH-funded research. Now that was an MGR masterpiece. At its core, effective scientific communication boils down to three deceptively simple principles: understanding your audience, focusing on relevance, and making complex information accessible.2 The best MGRs do not drown the audience in details, but rather illuminate why those details matter. A great lecture is not about showing how much you know, but about ensuring your audience leaves knowing something they didn't before. For those who prefer the structured wisdom of a written guide over the ramblings of a curmudgeon, an excellent review of these principles—complete with a handy checklist—is available.2 But fair warning: if you follow these principles, you may find yourself invited back to present another stellar MGRs. Perish the thought! Dr. Mikkael SekeresHello and welcome to JCO's Cancer Stories: The Art of Oncology, which features essays and personal reflections from authors exploring their experience in the oncology field. I'm your host, Mikkael Sekeres. I'm Professor of Medicine and Chief of the Division of Hematology at the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, University of Miami.  What a pleasure it is today to be joined by Dr. David Johnson, clinical oncologist at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School. In this episode, we will be discussing his Art of Oncology Practice article, "An Oncologist's Guide to Ensuring Your First Medical Grand Rounds Will Be Your Last."  Our guest's disclosures will be linked in the transcript.  David, welcome to our podcast and thanks so much for joining us. Dr. David JohnsonGreat to be here, Mikkael. Thanks for inviting me. Dr. Mikkael SekeresI was wondering if we could start with just- give us a sense about you. Can you tell us about yourself? Where are you from? And walk us through your career. Dr. David JohnsonSure. I grew up in a small rural community in Northwest Georgia about 30 miles south of Chattanooga, Tennessee, in the Appalachian Mountains. I met my wife in kindergarten. Dr. Mikkael SekeresOh my. Dr. David JohnsonThere are laws in Georgia. We didn't get married till the third grade. But we dated in high school and got married after college. And so we've literally been with one another my entire life, our entire lives. Dr. Mikkael SekeresMy word. Dr. David JohnsonI went to medical school in Georgia. I did my training in multiple sites, including my oncology training at Vanderbilt, where I completed my training. I spent the next 30 years there, where I had a wonderful career. Got an opportunity to be a Division Chief and a Deputy Director of, and the founder of, a cancer center there. And in 2010, I was recruited to UT Southwestern as the Chairman of Medicine. Not a position I had particularly aspired to, but I was interested in taking on that challenge, and it proved to be quite a challenge for me. I had to relearn internal medicine, and really all the subspecialties of medicine really became quite challenging to me. So my career has spanned sort of the entire spectrum, I suppose, as a clinical investigator, as an administrator, and now as a near end-of-my-career guy who writes ridiculous articles about grand rounds. Dr. Mikkael SekeresNot ridiculous at all. It was terrific. What was that like, having to retool? And this is a theme you cover a little bit in your essay, also, from something that's super specialized. I mean, you have had this storied career with the focus on lung cancer, and then having to expand not only to all of hematology oncology, but all of medicine. Dr. David JohnsonIt was a challenge, but it was also incredibly fun. My first few days in the chair's office, I met with a number of individuals, but perhaps the most important individuals I met with were the incoming chief residents who were, and are, brilliant men and women. And we made a pact. I promised to teach them as much as I could about oncology if they would teach me as much as they could about internal medicine. And so I spent that first year literally trying to relearn medicine. And I had great teachers. Several of those chiefs are now on the faculty here or elsewhere. And that continued on for the next several years. Every group of chief residents imparted their wisdom to me, and I gave them what little bit I could provide back to them in the oncology world. It was a lot of fun. And I have to say, I don't necessarily recommend everybody go into administration. It's not necessarily the most fun thing in the world to do. But the opportunity to deal one-on-one closely with really brilliant men and women like the chief residents was probably the highlight of my time as Chair of Medicine. Dr. Mikkael SekeresThat sounds incredible. I can imagine, just reflecting over the two decades that I've been in hematology oncology and thinking about the changes in how we diagnose and care for people over that time period, I can only imagine what the changes had been in internal medicine since I was last immersed in that, which would be my residency. Dr. David JohnsonWell, I trained in the 70s in internal medicine, and what transpired in the 70s was kind of ‘monkey see, monkey do'. We didn't really have a lot of understanding of pathophysiology except at the most basic level. Things have changed enormously, as you well know, certainly in the field of oncology and hematology, but in all the other fields as well. And so I came in with what I thought was a pretty good foundation of knowledge, and I realized it was completely worthless, what I had learned as an intern and resident. And when I say I had to relearn medicine, I mean, I had to relearn medicine. It was like being an intern. Actually, it was like being a medical student all over again. Dr. Mikkael SekeresOh, wow. Dr. David JohnsonSo it's quite challenging.  Dr. Mikkael SekeresWell, and it's just so interesting. You're so deliberate in your writing and thinking through something like grand rounds. It's not a surprise, David, that you were also deliberate in how you were going to approach relearning medicine. So I wonder if we could pivot to talking about grand rounds, because part of being a Chair of Medicine, of course, is having Department of Medicine grand rounds. And whether those are in a cancer center or a department of medicine, it's an honor to be invited to give a grand rounds talk. How do you think grand rounds have changed over the past few decades? Can you give an example of what grand rounds looked like in the 1990s compared to what they look like now? Dr. David JohnsonWell, I should all go back to the 70s and and talk about grand rounds in the 70s. And I referenced an article in my essay written by Dr. Ingelfinger, who many people remember Dr. Ingelfinger as the Ingelfinger Rule, which the New England Journal used to apply. You couldn't publish in the New England Journal if you had published or publicly presented your data prior to its presentation in the New England Journal. Anyway, Dr. Ingelfinger wrote an article which, as I say, I referenced in my essay, about the graying of grand rounds, when he talked about what grand rounds used to be like. It was a very almost sacred event where patients were presented, and then experts in the field would discuss the case and impart to the audience their wisdom and knowledge garnered over years of caring for patients with that particular problem, might- a disease like AML, or lung cancer, or adrenal insufficiency, and talk about it not just from a pathophysiologic standpoint, but from a clinician standpoint. How do these patients present? What do you do? How do you go about diagnosing and what can you do to take care of those kinds of patients? It was very patient-centric. And often times the patient, him or herself, was presented at the grand rounds. And then experts sitting in the front row would often query the speaker and put him or her under a lot of stress to answer very specific questions about the case or about the disease itself.  Over time, that evolved, and some would say devolved, but evolved into more specialized and nuanced presentations, generally without a patient present, or maybe even not even referred to, but very specifically about the molecular biology of disease, which is marvelous and wonderful to talk about, but not necessarily in a grand round setting where you've got cardiologists sitting next to endocrinologists, seated next to nephrologists, seated next to primary care physicians and, you know, an MS1 and an MS2 and et cetera. So it was very evident to me that what I had witnessed in my early years in medicine had really become more and more subspecialized. As a result, grand rounds, which used to be packed and standing room only, became echo chambers. It was like a C-SPAN presentation, you know, where local representative got up and gave a talk and the chambers were completely empty. And so we had to go to do things like force people to attend grand rounds like a Soviet Union-style rally or something, you know. You have to pay them to go. But it was really that observation that got me to thinking about it.  And by the way, I love oncology and I'm, I think there's so much exciting progress that's being made that I want the presentations to be exciting to everybody, not just to the oncologist or the hematologist, for example. And what I was witnessing was kind of a formula that, almost like a pancake formula, that everybody followed the same rules. You know, “This disease is the third most common cancer and it presents in this way and that way.” And it was very, very formulaic. It wasn't energizing and exciting as it had been when we were discussing individual patients. So, you know, it just is what it is. I mean, progress is progress and you can't stop it. And I'm not trying to make America great again, you know, by going back to the 70s, but I do think sometimes we overthink what medical grand rounds ought to be as compared to a presentation at ASH or ASCO where you're talking to subspecialists who understand the nuances and you don't have to explain the abbreviations, you know, that type of thing. Dr. Mikkael SekeresSo I wonder, you talk about the echo chamber of the grand rounds nowadays, right? It's not as well attended. It used to be a packed event, and it used to be almost a who's who of, of who's in the department. You'd see some very famous people who would attend every grand rounds and some up-and-comers, and it was a chance for the chief residents to shine as well. How do you think COVID and the use of Zoom has changed the personality and energy of grand rounds? Is it better because, frankly, more people attend—they just attend virtually. Last time I attended, I mean, I attend our Department of Medicine grand rounds weekly, and I'll often see 150, 200 people on the Zoom. Or is it worse because the interaction's limited? Dr. David JohnsonYeah, I don't want to be one of those old curmudgeons that says, you know, the way it used to be is always better. But there's no question that the convenience of Zoom or similar media, virtual events, is remarkable. I do like being able to sit in my office where I am right now and watch a conference across campus that I don't have to walk 30 minutes to get to. I like that, although I need the exercise. But at the same time, I think one of the most important aspects of coming together is lost with virtual meetings, and that's the casual conversation that takes place. I mentioned in my essay an example of the grand rounds that I attended given by someone in a different specialty who was both a physician and a PhD in biochemistry, and he was talking about prostaglandin metabolism. And talk about a yawner of a title; you almost have to prop your eyelids open with toothpicks. But it turned out to be one of the most fascinating, engaging conversations I've ever encountered. And moreover, it completely opened my eyes to an area of research that I had not been exposed to at all. And it became immediately obvious to me that it was relevant to the area of my interest, which was lung cancer. This individual happened to be just studying colon cancer. He's not an oncologist, but he was studying colon cancer. But it was really interesting what he was talking about. And he made it very relevant to every subspecialist and generalist in the audience because he talked about how prostaglandin has made a difference in various aspects of human physiology.  The other grand rounds which always sticks in my mind was presented by a long standing program director at my former institution of Vanderbilt. He's passed away many years ago, but he gave a fascinating grand rounds where he presented the case of a homeless person. I can't remember the title of his grand rounds exactly, but I think it was “Care of the Homeless” or something like that. So again, not something that necessarily had people rushing to the audience. What he did is he presented this case as a mysterious case, you know, “what is it?” And he slowly built up the presentation of this individual who repeatedly came to the emergency department for various and sundry complaints. And to make a long story short, he presented a case that turned out to be lead poisoning. Everybody was on the edge of their seat trying to figure out what it was. And he was challenging members of the audience and senior members of the audience, including the Cair, and saying, “What do you think?” And it turned out that the patient became intoxicated not by eating paint chips or drinking lead infused liquids. He was burning car batteries to stay alive and inhaling lead fumes, which itself was fascinating, you know, so it was a fabulous grand rounds. And I mean, everybody learned something about the disease that they might otherwise have ignored, you know, if it'd been a title “Lead Poisoning”, I'm not sure a lot of people would have shown up. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres That story, David, reminds me of Tracy Kidder, who's a master of the nonfiction narrative, will choose a subject and kind of just go into great depth about it, and that subject could be a person. And he wrote a book called Rough Sleepers about Jim O'Connell - and Jim O'Connell was one of my attendings when I did my residency at Mass General - and about his life and what he learned about the homeless. And it's this same kind of engaging, “Wow, I never thought about that.” And it takes you in a different direction.  And you know, in your essay, you make a really interesting comment. You reflect that subspecialists, once eager to share their insight with the wider medical community, increasingly withdraw to their own specialty specific conferences, further fragmenting the exchange of knowledge across disciplines. How do you think this affects their ability to gain new insights into their research when they hear from a broader audience and get questions that they usually don't face, as opposed to being sucked into the groupthink of other subspecialists who are similarly isolated? Dr. David Johnson That's one of the reasons I chose to illustrate that prostaglandin presentation, because again, that was not something that I specifically knew much about. And as I said, I went to the grand rounds more out of a sense of obligation than a sense of engagement. Moreover, our Chair at that institution forced us to go, so I was there, not by choice, but I'm so glad I was, because like you say, I got insight into an area that I had not really thought about and that cross pollination and fertilization is really a critical aspect. I think that you can gain at a broad conference like Medical Grand Rounds as opposed to a niche conference where you're talking about APL. You know, everybody's an APL expert, but they never thought about diabetes and how that might impact on their research. So it's not like there's an ‘aha' moment at every Grand Rounds, but I do think that those kinds of broad based audiences can sometimes bring a different perspective that even the speaker, him or herself had not thought of. Dr. Mikkael SekeresI think that's a great place to end and to thank David Johnson, who's a clinical oncologist at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School and just penned the essay in JCO Art of Oncology Practice entitled "An Oncologist's Guide to Ensuring Your First Medical Grand Rounds Will Be Your Last."  Until next time, thank you for listening to JCO's Cancer Stories: The Art of Oncology.

Famously known to rep the “Duck” symbol during GE2025, Darryl Lo became an overnight internet sensation during this year’s election as an independent candidate who captured the hearts of many with his ingenuity and candor in Radin Mas SMC. At just 28 years old, he won 23.47 percent of the vote, ranking the second highest in a three-cornered fight between the incumbent PAP and opposition party PAR in that constituency. On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Darryl Lo, the independent candidate who ran for Radin Mas SMC during GE2025, to find out more about how he managed to win the hearts of Singaporeans of all ages, and how he bridged the generational gap despite his first time in politics.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Un Cónclave inédito en la historia está en marcha. Miles de millones de personas creyentes y no creyentes, pero todas interesadas en un tema de incuestionable impacto social, político, religioso y cultural, tienen su mirada puesta en la noticia que emanará -más temprano que tarde- de la fumarola de la Capilla Sixtina. Es el primer Cónclave con 133 cardenales electores muchos de los cuales se han llegado a conocer apenas en estos días. En el último habían participado 115 prelados. Es también el Cónclave más internacional de la historia con cardenales procedentes de 70 países tan diversos y distantes de Roma como Haití, Mongolia, Birmania, Pakistán, Nueva Zelandia, Timor Oriental, Japón, Tonga, Burkina Faso, Papúa Nueva Guinea y Corea del Sur. Y aunque van y se representan en su condición personal, el Papa Francisco los nombró con el objetivo de incorporar a la Iglesia de Pedro, visiones de estas periferias del mundo. Es, además, el primer Cónclave con más de 5000 periodistas acreditados, que pujan por información de un evento secretísimo. De acuerdo con el servicio de prensa del Vaticano tras las reuniones previas del Colegio Cardenalicio completo conformado por 252 miembros “se esbozó el perfil de un papa pastor, maestro de humanidad, capaz de encarnar el rostro de una Iglesia samaritana, cercana a las necesidades y heridas de la humanidad”. Ese es entonces el cardenal buscado en estas horas cruciales. Este jueves y los días siguientes -si fuera necesario- las fumatas serán después de las 4 am y 11 am, hora de Costa Rica. Como ya se sabe, el proceso continuará hasta que el elegido alcance al menos 89 votos, las dos terceras partes requeridas. Para comprender el impacto global del nombramiento del nuevo sumo pontífice conversamos con Carlos Murillo Zamora relacionista internacional y director del Observatorio del Desarrollo UCR

Tras el magnicidio de JFK, solo un hombre parecía capacitado para mantener vivo su legado: su hermano Bobby. Durante la malograda Administración Kennedy, Bobby había ocupado el cargo de fiscal general del Estado. No solo eso. Se había encargado de que la presidencia funcionase, asumiendo el triple papel de chico para todo, fontanero político y jefe de gabinete en la sombra. Jack había admirado a su hermano menor, en concreto, su capacidad para echarse a las espaldas el peso de la Administración, y todavía encontrar tiempo para buscarle las cosquillas a un dictador como Castro o a un mafioso como Jimmy Hoffa y, más importante, tiempo para dedicar a Ethel, su mujer, y a los numerorísimos hijos del matrimonio. El 16 de marzo de 1968, Bobby anunció su intención de concurrir a las elecciones presidenciales de ese año por el Partido Demócrata. Los ingredientes base de su programa serían los derechos civiles de los negros y el fin de la guerra de Vietnam. El anuncio de su candidatura lo hizo en la sala del Senado en la que, ocho años atrás, su hermano mayor se había postulado para el puesto. A diferencia de entonces, no flotaba en el ambiente el entusiasmo. Podía deberse a la salud y al ánimo de su padre, declinantes desde el asesinato de Jack. Aunque achacoso y deprimido, el viejo no escatimó un centavo de dólar para el tercero de sus hijos varones. Inmerso en las primarias por la candidatura demócrata, Bobby anunció a su padre: «Papá, me voy unos días a California a luchar duro. Te brindaré el triunfo». No pudo ser. La madrugada del 5 de abril de 1968, en los pasillos del Hotel Ambassador, de Los Angeles, Sirhan Bishara Sirhan, joven iluminado de origen palestino residente en la ciudad, desenfundó un revólver del calibre 22 y disparó contra el senador Kennedy. Tras una agonía de horas, Bobby murió al amanecer del día 6. Episodio producido, escrito y narrado por Gonzalo Altozano. Sonido: César García. Diseño: Estudio OdZ.

Aprīļa pēdējā nedēļā pasaulē atzīmēja Starptautisko pacientu pieredzes nedēļu. Latvijā termins pacientu pieredze ieviests samērā nesen. Kā pacientu pieredze tiek izmantota, lai sasniegtu labākus rezultātus un kā ir mainījusies veselības aprūpe, skaidrojam raidījumā Kā labāk dzīvot. Sarunājas Latvijas Pacientu pieredzes asociācijas valdes priekšsēdētāja Vita Šteina, veselības komunikācijas speciāliste un ģimenes ārste Linda Šauriņa, Slimību profilakses un kontroles centra (SPKC) Pacientu drošības un veselības aprūpes kvalitātes pilnveides nodaļas vadītāja Irisa Zīle-Velika. "Lai pacients laikā, kad saņem veselības aprūpes pakalpojumus, justos mierpilni, saprastu, ko viņam saka, lai viņam nesāpētu, lai nebūtu satraukums un bailes, lai būtu paēdis, kas nozīmē, ka ēdienam ir jāgaršo. Lai viņš saprastu informāciju, kad izrakstās no ārstniecības iestādēs. Šīs ir jomas, ko mēra, lai raksturotu pacientu pieredzi," norāda Vita Šteina. Latvijā šī joma attīstās arvien plašāk, pateicoties SPKC iesaistei. Pagaidām var runām par pirmo soli, iegūstot atgriezenisko saiti no pacientiem. Atsevišķas slimnīcas ir uzsākušas arī pieredzes uzlabošanu, bet būtiska kustība šajā jomā nav. Labā ziņa - arvien vairāk veselības iestādes izvēlas iesaistīt darbā pacientu pieredzes speciālistu. Apmēram puse Latvijas slimnīcu mēra pacientu pieredzi pēc vienotiem standartiem. "Latvijā vislabāk novērtētā kategorija ir cieņpilna attieksme, ar to mums viss ir kārtībā. Savukārt divas sliktāk novērtētākās kategorijas ir ēdināšana un medikamentu un blakņu izskaidrošana. Tās ir sliktāk novērtētākās kategorijas praktiski visās slimnīcās, un tas nozīmē, ka tā ir valstiska problēma. Ja būtu kādas slimnīcas, kur šīs kategorijas ir augstāk novērtētas, varētu runāt, ka tas ir atkarīgs no personāla vai vadības, bet šajā gadījumā tās ir valstiskas problēmas," norāda Vita Šteina. "Ja runājam par medikamentu izskaidrošanu un blakņu izskaidrošanu, mums valstī ļoti trūkst un nav sakārtota klīnisko farmaceitu pietiekama pieejamība slimnīcās. Un, ja runājam par ēdināšanu, tad ir ļoti labi redzams, tajā gadā, apmēram pusotru gadu atpakaļ, kad tika kaut nedaudz palielināts tarifs ēdināšanai valsts publiskajā sektorā slimnīcām, par 10% uzlabojās novērtējums. Tam ir tieša ietekme: jo vairāk mēs investējam, valsts palīdz atrisināt šīs problēmas, tam tiešām ir pozitīvas sekas." "Pagaidām pacientu pieredze Latvijā tiek īstenota kā atsevišķa komponente, bet nav nacionāli iekļauta kopējā stratēģijā," skaidro Vita Šteina. Notiek diskusijas ar Veselības ministriju par nepieciešamību izveidot šādu stratēģiju, lai visām veselības iestādēm būtu vienotas prasības, kā mērīt veselības aprūpe kvalitātes radītājus kopumā.  "Problēmas sākas tad, kad ir jau atklātas kādas nozīmīgas veselības problēmas, kas ir no jauna, varbūt pat liels pārsteigums, vai arī tās hroniskās slimības ir tik ļoti ielaistas, ka tās prasa milzu resursus gan no paša pacienta, gan no radiniekiem, kur ir ļoti garš saraksts ar medikamentiem," vērtē Linda Šauriņa. "Arī no komunikācijas viedokļa pacients jaunas informācijas uztveršanā piekūst pie trešā medikamenta. Lai cik labi ārsti nesagatavotu savu sarunu par medikamentiem vai blaknēm, pacientam nav vienkārši kapacitātes. Tas nav pārmetums pacientiem, vienkārši cilvēcisks faktors. Tāpēc vienmēr saku, ja ir nozīmīgas vizītes pie speciālistiem, ir jāņem līdzi atbalsta persona, ir jābūt izrakstam. No stacionāra mums izraksti ir brīnišķīgi, bet tur, kur mums valstiski pieklibo šī lieta, tā ir sekundārā veselības aprūpe, kur ir speciālisti, kur pacients gaida varbūt mēnešiem kaut kādu izmeklējumu, kaut kādu konsultāciju, un tad, kad viņš atnāk atpakaļ pie manis, jo es tam speciālisti mums uzdos kaut kādus konkrētus jautājumus, nav šī te papīra, nav pacientam kur ieskatīties. Papīrs jau nav tikai man, tas papīrs ir arī pacientam, un tad pacients saka - bet es nezinu, es neatceros... (..) Tajā brīdī pacients it kā iesprūst: es biju uz vizīti, es gaidīju 3-4 mēnešus, un tas rezultāts ir tāds, kāds viņš ir." Uzklausām arī kādas pacientes pieredzes stāstu. Inesei Lūsiņai veselības apdrošināšanas nav, jo darba vieta to nevar atļauties, tāpēc būtiski ir pietiekties uz valsts apmaksātiem pakalpojumiem. Vispirms ar valsts speciālista izdotu nosūtījumu viņa uz magnētisko rezonansi rokas locītavai un ultrasonogrāfiju rokas mīkstajiem audiem mēģināja pieteikties elektroniskajās vietnēs internetā - eveselibapunkts.lv un rindapiearsta.lv.

Newcomer Abdul Muhaimin Abdul Malik joins his experienced teammates on the couch. Synopsis: The Usual Place now moves to a half-hour daily livestream at noon from April 24 till May 1 - a day before Cooling-off Day - with Singapore's general election on May 3. Host and ST correspondent Natasha Ann Zachariah invites candidates, analysts and hunts for new perspectives on issues that matter to young people.

Politics was never part of Elysa Chen’s plan, who used to think of the PAP as “paternalistic” and “out of touch”. But one tea session with the PAP led to another, and now, the party’s new face is standing in GE2025. She tells Steven Chia on the Deep Dive podcast why contesting in Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC feels like a “homecoming”.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Papa Francisc și-a lăsat în urmă, printre altele, imaginea unui mare iubitor de sport. Pontiful a fost suporter înfocat al echipei de fotbal San Lorenzo din Argentina natală, țară pe care nu a mai vizitat-o după ce a fost ales Papă.  În ciuda marii sale pasiuni pentru minge, Papa și-a luat acum 35 de ani angajamentul să nu se mai uite niciodată la televizor, luându-și informațiile exclusiv de la radio și din ziare. Papa Francisc a fost în primul rând un mare iubitor de fotbal.  Pasiunea sa a devenit cunoscută  imediat după ce a fost ales Papă în 2013 , când clubul din Argentina natală, San Lorenzo, a postat pe Twitter o fotografie cu el ținând în mâini fanionul albastru și roșu al echipei. Culorile sunt aceleași cu cele cu care s-au vopsit veșmintele Fecioarei Maria, iar porecla fanilor lui San Lorenzo, ”cuervos”, vine de la preoții iezuiți care erau numiți ”corbii” din cauza  sutanelor negre pe care le purtau. Un astfel de preot a fost și Lorenzo Massa, cel care a dat numele clubului pe care chiar el l-a creat la începutul secolului  XX, în Barrio de Almagro din Buenos Aires.  Nu este de mirare că Jorge Mario Bergoglio, cel care avea sa fie al 266-lea Papă al Bisericii Catolice a ținut cu o echipă întemeiată de părintele Massa despre care se spune că avea, ca și el, origini piemonteze. A ales cu sufletul, altfel ar fi fost fan Boca Juniors sau River Plate, grupări mai  cunoscute și mai performante. Papa Francisc a fost suporterul cu numărul de membru 88.235 și și-a susținut echipa favorită încă de la sfârșitul celui de al doilea război mondial. De altfel, cel care avea să devină mai târziu arhiepiscop de Buenos Aires, înainte de a fi ales papă, știa pe de rost formația din 1946 pe care o urmărea la fiecare meci de acasă. San Lorenzo a avut rezultate bune după ce Francisc a fost ales papă în martie 2013. Echipa a câștigat un titlu național chiar în acel an și a luat pentru prima dată Copa Libertadores un an mai târziu. Oficialii clubului au călătorit de două ori la Vatican purtând trofeele pentru a-i mulțumi lui Francisc pentru sprijinul său. Acum, după decesul Papei,  San Lorenzo a anunțat construcția unui nou stadion care va purta numele Suveranului Pontif. Decizia fusese luată încă din 2014, însă startul lucrărilor a fost constant amânat. Atunci Papa,  a acceptat cu bucurie cererea echipei sale de suflet și a semnat un tricou al unui fost jucător admirat de el, Rene Pontoni, care a devenit parte din patrimoniul clubului. Vă dați seama ce ambianță va fi pe noul stadion dacă acum în sectorul Nuevo Gasómetro al arenei unde își desfășoară San Lorenzo meciurile de acasă pot fi văzuți suporteri pictați pe față cu chipul lui Francisc?Fără televizor!Ceea ce este aproape de neînchipuit este faptul că Papa este singurul argentinian care nu l-a văzut jucând fotbal pe Messi și asta pentru că  în iulie 1990 și-a făcut un jurământ după ce Germania a învins Argentina cu 1-0 în finala Cupei Mondiale din Italia, să nu își mai ia informații de la televizor, ci de la radio, din ziare sau de la apropiați. Messi a fost însă primit la Vatican, la fel ca și Maradonna.  Se spune că Suveranul Pontif l-ar fi întrebat pe “El Pibe d'oro” care este mâna lui Dumnezeu, aluzie la celebrul gol marcat în poarta Angliei la Mondialul din 1986. Pus însă să aleagă între argentinienii Messi și Maradona, Papa s-a oprit la un brazilian: Pelé pe care l-a considerat drept cel mai bun fotbalist din toate timpurile. Când s-a întâlnit cu naționalele Argentinei și Italiei, la scurt timp după ce a fost ales, Francisc a remarcat influența sportivilor în societate, în special asupra tineretului, și le-a spus jucătorilor că sunt modele și au o responsabilitate socială importantă. Deasemenea, la o conferință globală despre credință și sport de acum 9 ani, Suveranul Pontif i-a implorat pe lideri să țină corupția departe de terenurile de joc și a spus că sportul trebuie protejat de manipulări și abuzuri comerciale. Totodată, Papa Francisc  a avut un mesaj și pentru jucătorii din NBA, cărora le-a cerut să lupte cu rasismul. Dealtfel, Papa a fost apropiat și de baschet, tatăl său, Mario jucând la San Lorenzo. Pontiful, cu ani în urmă, a ales o expresie din baschet pentru a comunica cu preoții: „Să știi să acționezi ca pivot și acel pivot este crucea lui Hristos. Apoi se mișcă, protejând mingea, cu speranța de a reuși un coș”. Tânărul Bergoglio a jucat și el baschet, deși îi plăcea mai mult fotbalul unde a evoluat ca fundaș.  A trebuit să se confrunte cu propriile sale limite.„Eram o nucă greu de spart”, a spus el, dar a avut puterea să glumească: „Aveam un picior înțepenit”.Continuând cu alte sporturi, Papa a spus despre tenis, că este „un dialog care ne permite să ne perfecționăm”. A caracterizat și rugby-ul ca disciplina în care „se trece mingea din mână în mână și avansăm împreună, până ajungem la țintă”.Acum Papa Francisc, primul Papă sud-american și argentinian, a ajuns la Ceruri și vorbește despre sport cu  „Sfinții”, așa cum este supranumită echipa sa de suflet San Lorenzo.

Eclesiastés 3:12.Aquella fue una semana bastante complicada. El niño se había lastimado el pie, la abuela aún estaba en el hospital y la mamá tenía mucho trabajo para hacer en la escuela. Era maestra.Claro que Giovanna quería pasear, andar en bicicleta en el parquecito o hacer esa receta deliciosa de galletitas. Primero se puso triste porque no podía hacer nada; todos estaban ocupados y corriendo de aquí para allá.Después, tuvo una idea. Preparó todo y llamó a la mamá.- ¡Cierra los ojos, es sorpresa!Al llegar cerca de la mesa, la mamá se emocionó. En el platito azul de postres la niña puso cuatro galletitas, y en la taza favorita de la mamá había té de manzanilla.-Con agua natural, para que no necesites enfriarlo, explicó la niña.Ese día, que parecía tan triste, cambió por completo. Fue como que el sol entró en la casa. Y Giovanna aprendió que somos felices cuando cuidamos a quien amamos.Mi oración: Papá que estás en los cielos, que mi familia sea muy feliz, y que pueda hacer mi parte.¿Hay algo especial que puedas hacer por cada integrante de tu familia? Un gesto simple puede marcar toda la diferencia. ¡Prueba eso hoy!Felicidad: Sensación buena, de alegría inmensa; viento en el cabello en un día caluroso; abrazo de alguien especial; estar con los amigos; viajar en familia.

Think about your favourite foods… the dishes you eat to make you happy. Are they traditional African foods - like vegetables, fresh fruits, roots, tubers, nuts, beans, and staple whole grains? Foods like Pap, Fufu or Ugali? Or are you thinking about a burger or deep fried chicken and chips from your favourite fast food shop? A new small-scale study found that when participants switched from a western diet to the traditional Kilimanjaro diet, their health markers improved in as little as two weeks. The researchers say they believe traditional foods from throughout the continent could have a similar impact.So could the ‘African Heritage Diet' be the new Mediterranean diet which helps us all get healthier?Today on the podcast, Mpho Lakaje speaks with the team from Kilimanjaro Christian Medical University College which conducted the research: Dr Godfrey Temba, an expert in nutrition, and members of his research team, Dr. Mary Mosha and Dr Vesla Kullaya.

He says a serious-minded person can come into the Singapore political system and make a difference. Synopsis: The Usual Place host Natasha Ann Zachariah hunts for new perspectives on issues that matter to young people. In the lead-up to Singapore's next general election that will be held on May 3, 2025, Natasha looks at how MPs, and others involved, are preparing themselves. Minister for Law and Home Affairs K Shanmugam is a seasoned politician about to head into his ninth election at the upcoming General Election. The minister, who will be leading the Nee Soon GRC team at GE 2025, first became an MP in 1988 and later a Cabinet Minister in 2008.

Juan 17:3.Adán se puso tan triste al ver cómo caía al suelo la primera flor que sintió que su corazón se encogía. Sabía que Dios había creado todas las cosas para que duraran para siempre. Antes, al caminar por el jardín del Edén, admiraba los colores fuertes de las plantas siempre frescas.Pero al mirar esa primera flor caída, lloró. Hoy estamos acostumbrados a ver hojas secas en el suelo, pero eso era algo totalmente nuevo y muy triste para Adán. También se dio cuenta de que los animales ya no eran tan mansos como antes. El pecado lo hizo. Trajo tristeza, dolor y muerte.Pero Dios puso esperanza y perdón en la vida de Adán. Le contó que las cosas en este mundo volverían a ser eternas, porque Jesús haría todo de nuevo. El ser humano tendría aún la oportunidad de la eternidad.¿Alguna vez has pensado en cómo será vivir en el cielo por la eternidad? Qué increíble será caminar en un jardín sin ninguna hojita en el suelo y donde el cordero y el león jugarán juntos.Mi oración: Papá que estás en los cielos, gracias porque tendremos una eternidad para vivir a tu lado.

Lucas 1:14.La emoción más grande que puede tener una familia es la llegada de un bebe. Cuando tu familia te vio por primera, sintió mucho amor. Al mirar tus ojitos, sintieron una emoción inmensa. Quién sabe si no se largaron a llorar o sintieron ganas de cantar una canción.Sé de familias que no podían dormir, incluso cuando el bebecito dormía tranquilo en su cuna. Querían quedarse mirando a ese ser tan pequeño y especial.Ciertamente, María y José sintieron esa felicidad al observar a Jesús la noche de su nacimiento. Era el pequeño milagro de la vida, allí, en el pesebre, durmiendo quietito. Zacarías, el padre de Juan el Bautista, también se sintió emocionado cuando supo, por medio de un ángel, que tendría un hijito.¡El corazón se llena de gratitud a Dios por la vida! Y durante los años que vendrán en la historia de un bebé, aparecerán muchos sentimientos y emociones más. Es necesario aprender cada día que Dios puso la emoción en nosotros para que seamos de bendición y sintamos la vida plenamente.Mi oración: Papá que estás en los cielos, que hoy pueda usar mis emociones para ser una bendición para los demás y parecerme más a Jesús.Cuéntale a tu familia en qué momentos sentiste:(A) felicidad(B) tristeza(C) miedo

Colosenses 3:12.Era el cumpleaños de mi hermana; yo tenía unos siete u ocho años. Fuimos a festejar en un restaurante de nuestro barrio, que tenía una puerta enorme y roja. Era de tardecida y el tiempo estaba lluvioso. La lluvia estaba tímida al principio, de esas que no causan miedo ni siquiera a un bebé.Pero... allá adentro, escuchábamos cómo la lluvia aumentaba y golpeaba más fuerte contra las ventanas del restaurante. Las personas llegaban empapadas, goteando agua en todo el suelo, con los vestidos elegantes encharcados y los trajes mojados. Noté la cara de preocupación de mi papá. El auto había quedado lejos y los paraguas frágiles serían incapaces de protegernos.Además, estaba oscureciendo. Comimos y hasta pedimos postre (torta, claro), pero pronto llegó la hora de irnos. Nos miramos los unos a los otros. Papá, mamá, tres niños y solo dos paraguas. Nos detuvimos en la puerta grande, tomando coraje para seguir. De pronto, un hombre se acercó. Tenía puesto un piloto de lluvia gris y traía una sombrilla inmensa, de muchos colores. Era un señor que vivía en la calle, que ya habíamos visto cerca de allí. Ayudó a una pareja joven a bajar del auto y los guio al restaurante. Después, nos ofreció la protección de su sombrilla que ahora no solo servía para proteger del sol, sino también de la lluvia. Él sonreía, no porque mi papá le dio una ayuda en agradecimiento, sino porque estaba ayudando a las personas. Mamá comentó cuán elegante y amable fue su actitud. Recuerdo que pensé cuánto me gustaría ser elegante de esa manera con las personas.Mi oración: Mi Dios, que mis actitudes y palabras sean elegantes y amables.
