NEW YORK, July 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Game Changers in
Medicine, the new monthly podcast from Dramatic Health,
premieres on July 8, 2020, with
"Vitamin K: This vitamin you've never heard of may have saved your
life," episode one of a planned six-part series about the
serendipitous events, chance encounters, and unlikely heroes and
heroines behind some of the world's most significant medical
discoveries. Produced by Dramatic Health co-founder and CEO
Sean T. Moloney, the series is
hosted by renowned medical futurist, Dr. Rubin Pillay, of the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

According to Moloney, who developed Game Changers in
Medicine's concept, "Many significant advances in medicine owe
a lot to coincidence and plain dumb luck. Some of the most
important achievements in healthcare were the result of fortuitous
accidents followed by scientific rigor. But serendipity and science
alone don't improve health and healthcare. It took curious,
creative, and determined scientists and clinicians to bring these
game-changing medical discoveries to patients' bedsides—and in the
process, to benefit mankind."
Sean was inspired to create the series by his grandfather Dr.
William C. Moloney's extraordinary
career in medicine. Dr. Moloney was a pioneer in the field of
hematology and was a recognized authority on chemotherapy
treatments for leukemia and lymphoma. He held teaching positions at
Tufts Medical School and Harvard Medical School and served as Chief of
Hematology at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.
Dramatic Health, a national healthcare video company, began to
turn Sean's vision into podcast documentaries. Sean engaged writer
Sharon Johnson, whom he knew from
her work co-authoring Dr. Moloney's memoir Pioneering
Hematology, to craft the podcast episodes. In describing the
premiere episode, "Vitamin K: This vitamin you've never heard of
may have saved your life," Johnson says, "Who would have thought
that a solution for excessive bleeding in baby chicks would turn
out to be a Nobel Prize-worthy solution for baby humans?"
Sean Moloney has gathered a panel
of distinguished experts to help tell the story of the discovery of
Vitamin K and share their experiences working with Dr. Moloney.
Panelists in this first episode include Dr. H. Franklin Bunn, a prize-winning hematologist at
Harvard Medical School; Dr.
Bruce Furie, also of Harvard Medical School, who won the American Heart
Association's Distinguished Scientist Award in 2014; Dr.
David Rosenthal, former medical
director of the Leonard P. Zakim Center for Integrated Therapies at
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and a professor at Harvard Medical School; and Catherine Ruhl, nurse-midwife and Director of
Patient Education at the Association of Women's Health, Obstetric
and Neonatal Nurses.
Future episodes of Game Changers in Medicine will
highlight the serendipitous encounters and surprising stories
behind the discoveries of the smallpox vaccine, Warfarin, and
insulin.
