Navigating Healthcare | Cogitate Cast Ep 01

Cogitate Cast Episode 1. A discussion with Tushar Srivastava who has a bachelor of medicine and surgery from the University of Auckland. He’s been working in Auckland hospitals on the covid response team during the outbreaks in New Zealand. We talk about how covid affected hospitals in New Zealand, the quack field of chiropractics, homeopathy and the placebo effect, the overworking and underpaying of medical staff, the nurse shortage, plant-based eating for health, and weight loss. You can follow Tushar on Instagram @tushar_vastav ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ Note: this conversation was recorded on the 22nd of January 2022 which was before the Omicron variant had started community transmission in New Zealand. Up until that point NZ had largely managed to keep covid out through strict lockdowns, contact tracing and border controls. When I say 'Covid had largely been uneventful' I'm meaning uneventful for Tushar specifically as, despite being on the covid ward, he hadn't been called to treat covid patients. ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ My socials: Website: www.harrychrisp.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/harry_chrisp/ Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/pro_hazza TikTok: harry_chrisp Twitter: https://twitter.com/Harry_Chrisp ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ 00:00 - Intro 01:49 - Chiropractors and Evidence-based medicine 09:55 - Homeopathy and the placebo effect 15:51 - Nutrition education for Doctors 19:56 - Plant-based diets for health 28:44 - Weightloss and Healthy eating habits 34:34 - Shortage of medical staff 37:58 - Covid's effect on NZ's hospitals 45:47 - Outro
