Yes! Your weekly reloaded health show, ‘Family Doctor', is scheduled to go on air this coming Monday, 19 th April. The show has got a new lease of life and it is now bigger and better. Just as promised, the show will have more topics discussed by different professionals, all on one show, unlike what we had previously where only one topic was featured. Next week the premiere show will be highlighting a condition called 'hypospadias'. What is it all about and how can one get help? Once in a while, we hear of cases of misdiagnoses; the show has lots of advice and cases to learn from.
Imagine giving birth to a healthy bouncing baby boy only to realize later that he cannot pee through the penis but has to do so squatting or seated like a girl! Well hypospadias is a condition where the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside does not end at the tip of the penis. Instead, it ends on the lower side. We get to learn why this happens and how to correct it, all on Family Doctor.
Have you ever been into an operating theatre? Maybe when you were being born or undergoing surgery, unaware of what was happening around you! For the first time ever Family Doctor will be taking you through surgical procedures, to enlighten you on how it is done and why it's done. The new show will also feature ways of dealing with stress in your life. A counselling psychologist will give life-changing tips on stress management.
According to the host, Susan Mwongeli, the refurbished show has more surprises in store for all our viewers in terms of the guests. These will be drawn from patients who will be telling their stories on different medical conditions and diseases as well as medical practitioners who will be educating you on the same and also providing free medical advice.
We have had cases where patients fall victims of repeated misdiagnosis. There is one lady who was misdiagnosed over 10 times and put on wrong medication. This experience almost killed her. Did she eventually get help? Find out on Family Doctor.
