Thanks, Laura de Benito Llopis and Alja Crnej for raising this important issue. In my view, anything that occurs during the whole month of September has a big impact for working parents and, ultimately, kids… Diversity and inclusion is in many organizations’ agenda and it starts with every little detail… having a variety of life styles and family models at the decision making table is key to consider this and other important issues… let’s see what happens next year and beyond! #diversity #inclusion #ESCRS #Ophthalmology #workingparents

Prevention or over-information? Alexa Mikhail thanks for highlighting concerns about full-body scans as a tool for prevention. The same concerns about  - "spectrum of normal” results - "unnecessary stress" - "knowing without having a clear goal", and so on are also applicable to excessive blood checkups or even real-time monitoring without any particular symptoms or medical indications. I like this quote by Peter H. Diamandis that "medicine is full of variability far greater than we realize and specialists often disagree about proper interventions. ... benefits outweigh the undue additional risks and harms such as psychological harm and more unanswered questions ..." So full-body scans and real-time blood monitoring without particular medical indications but as preventive approaches have both potential benefits and drawbacks. It has to be more investigated before popularizing and widely commercializing such approaches for longevity aims.

❓ Do you know what this picture is about? Let me tell you an intriguing story behind it: In the mid-1990s, Bristol, England, faced alarmingly high mortality rates in complex congenital heart surgeries. Dr. Marc de Leval from Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital investigated and discovered that the problem often occurred during patient transfer from the operating theatre to intensive care. Inspired by the efficiency of Formula 1 pit stops, Dr. de Leval and his team visited an F1 team in Italy. They observed how critical it was to map out every step precisely and noticed the key role of the "lollipop man," the coordinator. Upon returning, the hospital team applied these insights, drastically reducing medical errors from 30% to 10% by revamping their handover process based on the F1 model. At our Creativity Trail, we have over 20 such stories that help uncover and develop creative ideas. 🚀✨ Explore how thinking outside the box can lead to groundbreaking solutions. #Innovation #Healthcare #Creativity #ProblemSolving #F1 #MedicalErrors #Inspiration #CreativeThinking
