This episode is a must listen! If you were raised on a diet of TV medical dramas like House, The Good Doctor, ER, Grey's Anatomy or any of hundreds of others, today's guest will help set the record straight!
Mainak Majumdar is the Director, Intensive Care Services, Mercy Hospital, in Werribee, Victoria and is my very special guest. In our discussion, we hear of how Mainak got into medicine (not his first choice!) and what led him to specialise in emergency / intensive care medicine.
Of most relevance to my audience, Mainak shares how he applies a risk management approach to running the Intensive Care Unit and leverages the power of his people to get the best possible patient outcomes.
This approach was recognised when in 2021, Mainak received the Public Sector Risk Leader of the Year award, presented by the Risk Management Institution of Australasia (RMIA).
This is a fascinating discussion and insight into the workings of a busy Intensive Care Unit - a big thank you to Mainak for so graciously sharing his time and expertise!
For those counting, you'll notice this is episode #99 - stay tuned next week when I'll launch our 100th episode in time for listening over the festive season break.
Enjoy!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
