Podcasting meets healthcare

Podcasting (from broadcasting + iPod) has become something of a phenomenon. As of today there are 304 podcasts in the "Health" category on the iTunes Music Store and most are free. True, some podcasts may be of dubious value, but there are some by well-regarded institutions. For example, the Mayo Clinic enlightens you on "Understanding infertility", or St. John Ambulance on "How to conduct a primary survey".

Medical Edge Radio (Mayo Clinic, USA): a daily 60-second health segment—features general health and people-focused stories covering medical breakthroughs and compelling health information. Mayo Clinic physicians rigorously evaluate all stories for medical validity and newsworthiness.

First Aid Advice (St. John Ambulance, UK); St. John Ambulance believes that everyone should learn at least the basic First Aid techniques. You may need to use them at any time at home, at school or work or even while you're travelling. Knowing what to do can make the difference to a person's recovery, and you could even save their life.
