S02E02 Haemostasis and Coagulation with Marcel Levi

Bolus: education delivered stat

We are joined in this episode by Prof Marcel Levi, the CEO of University College London Hospitals and a practicing Haematology consultant that specialises in coagulopathies, thrombosis and angioedema. This wide ranging discussion initially covers the skill of balancing clinical and managerial work, and how a medical approach to problem solving can be applied to board meetings. We discuss the clotting cascade, and why coagulation is far simpler than medical text books convey, the treatment of DIC and Vitamin K deficiency and how to understand a clotting screen. Finally we move onto Haemophilia, Angioedema and why Haematology is the best speciality to work in.
