  • Episode 80: Epilepsy | Moonstruck
    2025/04/28

    We have come a long way in our understanding of epilepsy and seizures.

    Historically, epilepsy was associated with possession and demonic forces.

    Modern medicine has helped us to understand that epilepsy is an electrical disorder of the brain that can affect an area or the entire brain itself.

    Unfortunately, a lot of stigma and misinformation remains about epilepsy and it is an important condition to be aware of.

    This is the story of epilepsy.

    Our special guest:

    Professor Mark Cook who is the Director of Neurology and Chair of Medicine at St Vincent’s Hospital in Melbourne. He was awarded the Order of Australia in 2023.

  • Episode 78: Hyponatraemia | Sodium Solutions
    2025/03/31

    Hyponatraemia, the most common electrolyte disturbance in clinical medicine, is often subtle but can be serious.

    In this episode, we trace the surprising history of fluid replacement back to the 1832 cholera riots in Liverpool, where experimental saline saved lives amidst chaos and mistrust.

    We then bring the conversation into modern practice, exploring diagnostic steps, common causes, and when GPs should refer patients to hospital.

    This is the story of Hyponatraemia.

    Our special guest is:

    Dr Michael Page, Chemical Pathologist and CEO of Clinipath.
