Dr. Wiegand joins us today with a closer look into the female urethra and lower urinary tract when there is a clinical need for intermittent catheterization. Incomplete bladder emptying associated with urinary retention in females presents a unique set of challenges, teaching opportunities, and potential complications. Dr. Wiegand addresses each of these from an expert urologist’s perspective, providing explanations and solutions. He focuses on teaching the female population how to catheterize, providing tips for anyone working with females and needing to teach intermittent catheterization. Listen in as Dr. Wiegand addresses the importance of compliance for females and why the female urethra is not just a shorter version of the male urethra.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
