Show Notes
This week we’re joined by Dr Clay Golledge, infectious diseases physician and all-round expert in the world of orthopaedic infections. We dive into everything from preventing infections before the first incision, to diagnosing the difficult cases, to the often long and complicated road of treatment after surgery. Along the way we explore operating theatre sterility, antibiotic myths, infected joint replacements, and the occasional moment where medicine and the media collide. We take a detour into Dr Golledge’s extensive media career, discussing his television appearances, public health communication, and what it’s like trying to explain complex medical problems to the general public and maybe a less than receptive government. As always, it’s told with our special blend of truth, exaggeration, and a large smothering of hilarious stories that have got us here. Thanks to i-Med Radiology for sponsoring the podcast.
