Guest: Ricardo Alejandro Qiunonez, M.D., F.A.A.P. ,Section Head and Service Chief Pediatric Hospital Medicine, Houston Texas
Host: Michal Hulik, CMO Radiolutions
Ricardo has a critical eye for the topic of overdiagnosing. Must we always treat everything that we find? Why is prolonged hospitalization dangerous for patients, especially for children? We discuss how thresholds agreed upon by experts can distort the picture about health situation of individuals. Ricardo explains how reliable and correctly conducted research shows how efficient and useful some medical procedures really are and where they rather pose potential health hazard than help.
Overall a cool and honest discussion I highly recommend to all the physicians out there!
