"Health is more than the absence of disease, so we tackle topics impacting all aspects of your health and wellbeing. Because we trained as doctors together, are dear friends and believe laughter truly is the best medicine, we find joy discussing the profession we love. It’s like being privy to a conversation that you might otherwise never hear; what goes on "behind the curtains,” while providing clarity and insights to complex issues." Hosted by Professor Jonathan Sackier, a surgeon and Doctor Nigel Guest, a family practitioner, with their 50 years of joint experience in the medical industry they bring you Join the Docs. A blend of fun and facts, empowering our listeners with news they can use to seek the best healthcare. After training in surgery in Britain, Jonathan was recruited to America to help introduce laparoscopic “keyhole” surgery. He loved caring for patients, teaching, conducting research and sharing his passion for medicine.‍ Patients’ needs inspired Jonathan to help develop several medical inventions, including the first surgical robot and various devices, diagnostics, drugs and services. Always valuing Nigel’s perspectives, their shared love of science and humour, and driven by the social constraints imposed by Covid, Join the Docs was born over many late-night video calls and virtual cocktail hours! Nigel grew up in Britain’s ‘Black Country’ zealously to his bizarre accent. A Liverpool University educated doctor, he stoically remained in the country’s northwest building a large National Health Service (NHS) General Practice.‍ Motivated by improving patient care, Nigel increasingly became involved with healthcare management, ultimately becoming CEO of a successful and innovative NHS Commissioning Group, overseeing a £350m budget and leading large-scale cancer care and mental health innovations.‍ Driven by a joint love of education and communication, and believing in the therapeutic power of humour, Nigel and Jonathan have come together at Join the Docs to share experiences, educate and hopefully amuse. Stay happy, stay healthy, as it beats the alternative. You spend a long time dead.

Body Parts - Sew Much to Learn

In this Join the Docs episode, the ever-charismatic Professor Jonathan Sackier and the delightfully witty Doctor Nigel Guest dive headfirst into a rollicking discussion about the medical marvels of various body parts. Picture this: a room filled with laughter as they dissect (pun intended) the critical importance of blood and organ donation, weaving in tales of heroic donors and miraculous recoveries.

So, what are the ethics of organ donation? The Docs debate the merits of donating your earthly vessel to science versus becoming a mummy in a museum. And just when you think it can't get any more fascinating, they plunge into the world of umbilical cord blood and placenta, painting vivid pictures of these often-overlooked biological treasures. It's a labour of love, quite literally!

Hold onto your seats as the discussion gets a bit cheeky with sperm and eggs, where The Docs’ playful banter about the birds and the bees will have you in stitches. And just when you think the episode has reached its peak, they introduce the pièce de résistance: faecal transplants. Yes, you heard that right. The episode delves into the surprisingly sophisticated science of poop, sharing stories that are both mind-blowing and side-splitting.

What have we learned from the past? The Docs entertain listeners with captivating tales of ancient medical practices, ranging from the bizarre to the revolutionary, offering insights into just how much progress we've made in understanding and treating the human body.

The episode also features a segment on the future of medicine, where the potential advancements that could revolutionise healthcare are brought to attention. From the promise of regenerative medicine and stem cell therapy to the ethical implications of genetic engineering, the discussion is as thought-provoking as it is entertaining.

So, whether you're a medical professional, a curious layperson, or simply someone who enjoys a good laugh, this episode of "Join the Docs" promises to be a captivating and enlightening experience. Tune in and join the conversation, because when it comes to understanding the human body, It’s bound to be just what the doctor ordered!
