I always get real experts in their respective feels to join me in the virtual Life-Sparring ring. However, this time, I hit one out of the ballpark and convinced an actual rockstar of medicine to spar with me. Henrik Widegren (MD) is based in Lund, Sweden, where he works in the university clinic as Otolaryngologist or Ear, Nose & Throat doctor.
When Henrik is not seeing patients or is participating in clinical research, he is composing, writing, and performing songs about healthcare and medicine. He published several albums in Swedish and English, and in 2019, Henrik landed a viral hit with his song “Never Google Your Symptoms,” attracting more than 4.3 million views on YouTube.
My conversation with Henrik covers a lot of ground, Henrik’s musical career from playing the recorder to becoming a recording artist; why he chose Otolaryngology over heart surgery, how it feels to become a viral sensation, and being the most prominent singing medical professional since Dr. Alban (It’s my Life – you remember?).
Last but not least, we talk about the state of the medical profession and what we believe could improve the communication between doctors and patients. We also discuss critical medical topics such as the Man Cold, snoring, excessive earwax, and losing your voice to a spicy Malaysian dish.
I had an absolute blast talking to Henrik, and I am sure you will also enjoy this one.
