Health meetings are branches of the health department (GSR) and have a clear goal: to promote the health of socially disadvantaged people at risk of health and to have a preventive effect. Free of charge, low-threshold and close to home. There has been a meeting like this in the Hasenbergl since 1975, and it has been very well received. However, the GSR wants to set up and finance more such locations. There will still be health meetings in Riem and...
I recently treated a sedated and ventilated patient who was struggling with extremely severe psoriasis. That was not the reason for his stay in the intensive care unit, but it gave us yet another construction site. Bacteria could enter through open skin and cause an infection. Normally we use disinfecting disposable washcloths to wash the patients. This is the most hygienic option, but the washcloths are also quite hard - much harder than a terry cloth washcloth that you are...

The department for education and sport now wants to...

It is often just a single one, small and unobtrusive on a part of the body that is not immediately visible when a tank top is worn in the summer.For example, the man, well over 60, on whose upper arm I...
The annual accounts are not yet ready, but it is clear that the city hospitals made a large loss last year. The municipal company recently expected a minus of 36 million euros. The causes are manifold. Far fewer patients were treated in the clinics than expected - also because a three-digit number of hospital beds could often not be occupied due to the chronic shortage of staff.In addition, energy costs have risen sharply. The Munich Clinic has also been extremely...
