  S3E8 - EM in the EC - Dr Sian Geraty & Dr Luan Taljaard 08.09.2026 38мин

  Emergency Medicine has grown in South Africa over the last 20 years, but not equally in all provinces. The Eastern Cape is a complex, relatively low resource setting, where Dr Sian Geraty and Dr Luan Taljaardhave been working for years to drive access to quality Emergency Care. How to achieve it - look after human capital, build relationships and show up every day with the right attitude towards improvement. These notions are evidence by the steady growth of the EM mindset in the region over the recent years, and even more potential in the pipeline.

  S3E7 - Crew Resource Management - Dr John Roos 05.08.2026 42мин

  "When an aeroplane crashes, everybody — including the pilot — dies. But when a healthcare worker makes a mistake, it's only the patient who dies." It's with this sobering thought that we introduce Dr John Roos on the latest episode of the badEM podcast. John is a specialist anaesthetist at Mitchells Plain Hospital who has spent much of his career studying how mistakes happen — and how to stop them. We explore Crew Resource Management (CRM) — a concept born in aviation that aims to reduce the human factors behind negative outcomes. From communication, to leadership and followership, to fatigue and burnout, we cover a lot of ground. John has shaped countless minds over his long and winding career, and his wisdom shines through in this conversation.
