This week, we have a special edition of the podcast. We don't often host interviews, so when we do, we make sure they are with guests who have a lot to offer. At Triage, we are all about trying to ensure we give people the advice they need when they need it. Too much intervention isn't always good, and we certainly don't want people worrying about trivial
issues related to their health.
It is for this reason that we chose to have Professor Seamus O'Mahony on the podcast...
Seamus O’Mahony is a doctor and prize-winning author. He worked for many years in the NHS, returning to his native city of Cork in 2001, where he was a gastroenterologist and clinical professor until February 2020.
His first book The Way We Die Now won the British Medical Association’s council chair’s choice award in 2017. His second book Can Medicine be
Cured? was published in 2019, and his latest book The Ministry of Bodies was published by Head of Zeus in March 2021.
He is a regular contributor to the Dublin Review of Books and the Medical Independent. He has written also for the Observer, the Irish Times,
the Irish Independent and the Saturday Evening Post. He is a member of the Lancet commission on “The Value of Death” and is visiting professor at the Centre for the Humanities and Health at King’s College London.
