Podcast: A Focus on Vessels
Sexual harassment and abuse of power are not isolated incidents in everyday medical practice. In episode 13 of the podcast ‘Gefäße im Fokus’, Dr Barbara Rantner talks to Dr Susanne Johna about the findings of a nationwide survey conducted by the Marburger Bund, in which 9,000 doctors took part. The focus is on hierarchies, dependencies within specialist training, the reasons why those affected or witnesses remain silent, and the responsibility of hospitals, senior management and Scientific Societies.
An important episode on attitude, awareness and respectful collaboration in medicine.
