Why Eccentric People are Happier, Healthier, and Living Longer | A different Drummer (2015)

Women who become doctors choose their profession to heal people. But in hospitals, they often become victims of sexual harassment. This film features case studies from Switzerland. From obscene jokes by powerful bosses in the operating room to sexual blackmail and assaults during training: in this film, female students, doctors, and surgeons recount what they have had to endure. In an environment still marked by a culture of silence, harassers are rarely punished by their superiors. Often, victims are reluctant to file a complaint for fear of jeopardizing their careers. Some take the risk and report the incidents to human resources, but these complaints are seldom followed up. Although hospitals claim to have a zero-tolerance policy, harassers rarely experience any negative consequences. ______ DW Documentary gives you knowledge beyond the headlines.

Heart disease, ADHD, mental health: When it comes to medicine, men and women often need different treatments. Yet general medicine is based on the male body. The risk of dying after a heart attack is twice as high for women as for men. ADHD often goes undiagnosed in girls. For men, mental health issues are still often considered a taboo subject: The suicide rate among men is nearly three times higher than it is among women. Yet in medical education, drug research, and everyday clinical practice, the standard patient is still imagined as male. In Frankfurt am Main, doctors want to change that. Germany’s first university-affiliated Women’s Heart Center was established there. Research and teaching on cardiovascular diseases are focused on women, and personalized therapies and preventive screenings are offered specifically for them. ADHD, on the other hand, often goes undetected in girls—and thus untreated. Author and influencer Angelina Boerger experienced this firsthand. She wasn’t diagnosed until she was 29. More than 150,000 people now follow her accounts of her daily life on her Instagram channel. Through her social media
