Pneumonia as reflected in modern medicine
( Source: MEDICA.de )
[02/04/2012] Pneumonia is a classic among infectious diseases. Hippocrates already described an illness whose symptoms included coughing followed by pneumonia but today would more resemble an influenza virus. Sir William Osler, considered to be the father of modern medicine, characterized it as “Captain of the Men of Death“ at the start of the 20th century. And what about today?

[27/10/2011] You wouldn’t break your car while stepping on the gas - or wash down a sleeping pill with espresso.

Medical Science and Technology against hospital-acquired Infections
( Source: MEDICA.de )
[01/09/2011] Time and again it sweeps through the media and we hear of serious diseases, like for instance MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), which attack patients in hospitals. Needless to say these diseases happen, but they have long ago come to the forefront of hygiene experts, who fight with a vengeance to prevent essentially “man-made” infections in clinics and hospital facilities. Medical Science and Technology against hospital-acquired Infections - Read more
"Oftentimes, the necessary systems that work in emergencies are still lacking"
( Source: MEDICA.de )
[01/03/2011] Being pressed for time, a lack of information and a shortage of resources are elements that define all disaster situations. For many injured however it is crucial to be medically as well as psychologically treated as quickly and optimally as possible. For this to happen, it’s not just the helpers that need to be well trained, but the technical processes also need to be able to run smoothly. "Oftentimes, the necessary systems that work in emergencies are still lacking" - Read more
Learning to handle emergencies

[01/03/2011] An emergency is a situation that requires immediate assistance – this is how the Duden, Germany’s definitive directory on orthography specifies it. However, this cut and dry sentence cannot reflect the amount of feelings people are subjected to in emergency situations. All the more admirable are those people who stay calm in the face of an emergency. Learning to handle emergencies - Read more

In a new study a Northwestern Medicine cardiologist found the majority of patients are frequently not receiving a large enough dose of these drugs, which can put their recovery into peril. Low Beta Blocker Dose Can Put Heart Patients at Risk - Read more

If they have become the victim of a medical malpractice, they also don’t shy away from going to court. A new law soon intends to inform them about their patient rights even more. “Patients Have a Lot of Rights“ - Read more
“Learning Early on that Everybody Makes Mistakes”
( Source: MEDICA.de )
[01/03/2010] “A man, who has made a mistake and doesn't correct it, just made another mistake.” This quote from Confucius also applies to doctors, since only being open-minded and dealing with mistakes prevents them.
