Given the current events in Lebanon, Lebanese physicians working there have been in the news extensively lately. Some have chosen to leave in search of a more stable life; some have chosen to stay, and some have chosen not to move back to Lebanon in the first place. We will interview Lebanese physicians working in Lebanon and beyond to get their opinions about the events taking place in Lebanon, the future of medicine in Lebanon, and the role Lebanese physicians play worldwide in their respective fields, and their connections to their home county. We will highlight success stories, stories that were not so successful, and everything in between. Medical students, physicians-in-training, and attending physicians at different points in their careers will be interviewed. We hope you will find this podcast beneficial and exciting!

In this episode, we discuss with Dr. Mohamad Khalife and Dr. Anna Farra (two infectious diseases physicians with Doctors without Borders) their recent published article in Open Forum Infect Dis: " Posttraumatic Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Osteomyelitis in Mosul and Gaza: A Retrospective Cohort Study, 2018 - 2022. "
This is a timely episode that relates to the latest conflicts in the region including Iraq, Gaza, and Lebanon. We discuss the role of NGOs and local hospitals in acute care and the subsequent major role of surgeons and quality microbiology labs in preventing multidrug resistant infections, preventing amputations, and treating bone infections and other wounds appropriately.
Tune in to listen to the great work that is being done by the staff of MSF and by Dr. Khalife and Farra in these area.
