Hernias and Healing: Health Insights and Poetic Journeys

Episode Overview

  • Hernias are common, especially in men over 70.
  • Various surgical options are available for hernia repair.
  • Poetry can be a powerful tool for emotional healing.
  • Third Space Stories gives voice to South Asian poets.
  • Health discussions can be both informative and entertaining.
Poetry is a great way of processing things and explaining how you feel about things.
The Relaxback UK Show with Mike Dilke offers a refreshing mix of health-related discussions and light-hearted moments. In this episode, Mike chats with consultant surgeon Simon Marsh about the common issue of hernias. Simon explains what hernias are, how they develop, and the various treatment options available. You'll be surprised to learn that a quarter of men over 70 will experience a hernia at some point!
Simon also sheds light on why UK surgeons revert to being called 'Mister' instead of 'Doctor'. It's an informative segment filled with fascinating facts and a touch of humour. Next up, Mike welcomes Suman Gudra, an artist, poet, and storyteller. Suman shares her journey of creating 'Third Space Stories', an anthology of poems from people of South Asian origins. She discusses how poetry has been a powerful tool for expressing emotions and processing experiences.
Suman's passion for giving a voice to underrepresented communities is truly inspiring. This episode balances serious health topics with creative storytelling, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in wellbeing and the arts. Tune in to learn something new, smile at Mike's rants, and maybe even find a bit of inspiration for your own health journey.
