Move-the-Dirt podcast
Welcome to the Move-the-Dirt podcast. A show aimed at helping people live happier and more fulfilling lives.
Based on the Move the Dirt concept referred to by ex-NFL player John Welbourn, the concept is simple. By making the maximum effort that the circumstances of a particular day allow us to do, we keep making progress and move ever closer to our goals and hopefully a happier and more fulfilling life.
Same days we will use a shoval to move the dirt and somedays we will only be able to use a spoon....just keeping moving forward.

Episode #13 - with Dr Heidi Klessig
WARNING: THIS PODCAST DISCUSSES THE VERY EMOTIONAL AND SENSITIVE TOPICS OF ORGAN DONATION AND BRAIN STEM DEATH.
THE PURPOSE OF THIS EPISODE IS NOT TO JUDGE OR TO INSTRUCT PEOPLE AS TO WHAT THEY SHOULD DO, BUT RATHER TO PROVIDE THE INFORMATION PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW SO THAT THEY CAN MAKE A TRUE INFORMED DECISION FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR LOVED ONES.
In this conversation, Dr Heidi Klessig shares her profound insights into the ethics of brain death and organ donation, stemming from her personal experiences as an Anesthesiologist. She discusses the emotional complexities surrounding organ harvesting, the changing definitions of death, and the ethical implications of current medical practices. The conversation highlights the need for transparency and informed consent in organ donation, as well as the financial motivations behind the organ transplant industry. Dr Klessig emphasises the importance of recognising the value of life and the ethical dilemmas posed by modern medical practices.
