I guess there are lots of recaps of 2022, but no one like this! Because here you get to know about every single episode I published this year.

Season 3 of Outsmart the Pain is finally out there! Energy is on everyone´s mind right now. In Sweden, there is a lot of politics involved in dealing with high prices and what to do about it. But from a non-political view - what is it all about? How are the prices set? What on earth do the Amish have to do with horse power? And how can all energy o…

This is a short conclusion + my own thoughts around the last two episodes with psychologist and associate professor Rikard Wicksell. What can be done if "everything has been tried" ? And what can be done in society in the future to get things going, and going better? This is the last episode for Season 2 - thank you for listening! It has been a gre…
  continue reading
 
Part 2 since my talk with Rikard Wicksell was so long. Listen to the previous episode first! Why are some people not getting better in their pain although healthcare is throwing them all different kind of medication? And society itself, does it do enough in the fight against pain? Well, that was of course a rhethorical question, but what to do abou…

Meet clinical psychologist and associate professor at Karolinska Institutet, Rikard Wicksell! When medication is not the whole solution, or any solution at all, what can you do about your pain (or actually any other condition as well) ? What is the true problem when not reaching the treatment goal? We talk about what the psychologist can do. Is the…

Today I will be talking about when somethings seems crazy. Could be that pain - jumping around the body. Getting worse after that surgery that was supposed to help. Or something else. Could be the patient. Or at least the doctor (or relatives) think something crazy is going on, because s/he is describing something which can not be understood. Could…

Another episode, another subject. This time I talk with Henrik, an oncologist and professor who developed the Stockholm 3 test, which seems to revolutionize the prostate cancer screening possibilities in Sweden. That is why he won the award "cancer researcher of 2022". But we do not only talk about this, but about prostate cancer in such. I had no …

An interesting but maybe difficult subject on "pill shaming" - there is some shame to taking tablets. Even if you need to, and the physician has prescribed them. The most important thing about this subject is to be able to reason if it is right or not. And not all people - including health care personel - do this reasoning. They already made up the…
  continue reading
 
We physicians give patients pills. And we hope for the best. Sometimes it works, maybe not perfect but it is better than not taking the pills. And we are satisfied with that. But then there is pill shaming. The own feeling that ”this is not good”. And on top of this the surroundings - that is relatives, friends, coworkers and so on, experts on thei…

Being an anesthetist before I turned 100% pain, I met a lot of different challenges during my time at the ICUs, surgery and more, both in Sweden and in the U.K. I noticed people enjoy these strange stories...so why not make a short episode about this today? There are some sad stories, so keep out of this episode if you don´t want to hear it today. …

Covid-19 is a word suddenly everyone knows. Everyone has some kind of relationship to it. Sometimes there is pain related to a covid infection. What type of pain is that?

By chance, I met this guy Douglas Leon, or Dogge Doggelito who is his rap artist name. He became famous for the Swedish people when he tried to get them to buy refridgerators. And get a bike when they did so. Cykel på köpet. And I didn´t even know he now sings Swedish folklore with other famous Swedes as well! Although his life has been rough, he n…

An artist most Swedish people know. A multi talented artist who started off with Latin Kings and now does Swedish folklore. And something about selling bikes. Being very spontaneous, our meeting was not very well prepared from my side, so the setting and sound you need to live with.... Apart from music, we talk happiness but go through some serious…

So here´s the short version of the talk I had with Carin last week, and how the book Outsmart the Pain (Överlista smärtan) came to be. I spice it up with a talk about what makes patients come to our clinic and who are refused...and what the recipy for success is (...or failure) ! A patient story about an eye which hurt....but still didn´t. I also h…

Being a well-known show host in TV productions and an aspiring crime fiction writer, what happened to Carin when she got pain that just would not go away? Which spread, and was so "strange" that she had to go to the hospital. And what did that physician do when they could not find anything wrong, more than the severe pain? He sent a referral to the…

Interesting things ahead! I will have a "mini-series" together with Carin Hjulström, my co-author in "Outsmart the pain" (Överlista smärtan).

You will still find the episodes int…

Spare these 5-6 minutes to hear what dr Dominic Aldington and I discussed last week. How doctors give people opioids and then tell them to stop when its kind of too late.

As always, these insight episodes are very short, for you to take that little moment to recap what has been said or get an idea if it would be of interest to listen to the full episode. This time I talk about Medical Myths, where Simon Körösi tells us about his facts regarding sleep, coffee, pregnancy, PAIN, and other things. And you also get a tea…

Simon Körösi is a physician who has his own podcast about "medical truths"....which aren´t true at all. We will discuss these "facts" through some of his episodes, for instance: How dangerous is coffee?

In this insight episode I somewhat summarize what orthoped surgeon and business area manager Tobias Wirén talked about. Even if you are not into fractures, you should listen to this.

Tobias Wirén - an orthopedic surgeon not only moving from surgeon and head of department to business area manager in Capio, but also moving from ”the fracture to the person behind the fracture”.

A shorter version of last episode - an Insight episode. I talked to Michael Wiander, who has managed to get 50000 young people to read his 600+ pages adventure books. And they did not even want to read books. Among writing books, Michael also is a chef, a musician and a chessplayer at elite level. And he calls himself a disaster.... I will give a s…

  continue reading
 
It´s difficult to describe an episode when talking to physician Michel Tagliati about everything from parenthood to overweight. But I assure you this is a very interesting talk you would like to listen to! Are people more concerned with their rights than their responsibilities? Did his patient really lose 50 kilos in weight? And why did he record a…
