Different Country, Different Medicine

Medicine, healthcare — even illness — vary from country to country. Those differences are driven by tradition, culture, even politics. On this episode of The Pulse, we zoom in on those contrasts. In Hong Kong, we learn why acupuncture could be the next frontier for pain treatment. In Germany, we investigate the burnout epidemic affecting stressed-out workers. And in India, we visit a hospital that turns anxious family into trained care companions. Also heard on this week’s show: Traditional Chinese medicine might seem ancient, but historian Paul Unschuld says its official birth date is in the 1950s. The Syrian Civil War has driven out more than half of the country’s medical doctors. Hear from two physicians who opted to stay — facing shortages and danger in a bid to help desperate patients. Israel recently shuttered a humanitarian project that delivered medical help to thousands of Syrians. One of the final patients to receive treatment: a 14-year-old boy named Ahmad, who received a groundbreaking procedure that saved his leg. In Germany, stressed-out workers are diagnosing themselves with a syndrome they call “Der Burnout.” A history lesson on Mexico’s approach to birth control.

You can listen to — and download — all of the memorable audio from Friday’s edition of the Morning Show (holla that!!), with Boomer & Gio, in one nice little package for your convenience.  We had Jerry in for the Booms and some Yankees talk at the top, Gio commends the job Brian Cashman has done to build this team into a contender, but he believes the Yanks’ GM needs to make a deal for a frontline starter for them to be a front-runner.  On that subject, Dallas Kuechel is off the market as the former Astros’ lefty signed a one-year deal with the Braves.  Plus, Gio & Jerry spent the afternoon together at Citi Field and enjoyed a win, got some facetime with Brodie Van Wagenen, then did some second guessing of Mickey Callaway, breaking down Max Scherzer’s contract, Did Gregorious makes his return to the Yankees lineup Friday night, quite a bit on the Warriors as they approach Game 4, gearing up for NBA Free-Agency, Boomer chimes in a few times, Al Dukes ‘the sword swallower’, a heart-to-heart with Larry in Brooklyn and much more.  Until Monday morning at 6 a.m. - when the guys make their return to the airwaves – you be sure to stay classy New York!!!
