In this episode of Global Scalpels, we dive into the complexities of delivering surgical care across different healthcare systems. We explore what it truly means to be a surgeon in a world where protocols, resources, and even antibiotics are far from universal. From Malawi to the UK and beyond, our expert guests share eye-opening stories on resourcefulness, teamwork, and cultural adaptation in global surgery. Discover why a Foley catheter is never just a Foley catheter, how surgical hierarchies can hinder progress, why being open-minded is the key to sustainable impact and why the best surgeons aren’t just skilled with their hands—but with their ability to learn, unlearn, and adapt. This episode is packed with insights, humor, and lessons that transcend borders. Tune in now!
