Episode 16: Dr Richard Laurent - The Sinister Medicalisation Of Normal Human Distress, Sadness And Suffering, And Counter-Narratives On National Screening 

During part two of the conversation with Richard Laurent, we discuss the sinister medicalisation of medicine including the medicalisation of normal human distress, sadness and suffering. We explore Richard’s perhaps counter-narratives on national screening for which Richard gives his own views and opinion -  which I am sure will spark healthy debate. I really enjoyed and felt privileged to be part of this project with this well-loved and respected general practitioner, educator and inspirational figure. Please become enthralled  with this conclusion to a remarkable conversation with Dr Richard Laurent.

All About Doctors Radio broadcasts depth-of-field conversations with inspirational role-models in medicine. I explore what makes the best of them 'tick', and what it is that specifically makes these guests the role-model and effective professional they are. Guests talk about the activities and passions in their lives which keep them floating above water and keeping 'evergreen' in a profession that associates itself with burnout and mental exhaustion. They give away the positive habits and strategies that keep them coming back for more every day. Can you become better by unpicking the excellence and know-how of your colleagues, therefore improving what you do even further? Join me, Will Mangar, a family primary care GP doctor in Kent, South East England, as i get a few more pointers on how these folk consistently get it right and use their super-powers to keep treading water! Its never been so tough out there to survive in the profession you once lived for....Check us out on allaboutdoctorsradio.com
