How to stay healthy in a sick society. A talk about health and illness in individuals and society at large, with an open discussion and audience Q&A. MUDr. Jan Hnízdil, internist and rehabilitation physician (born 1958), is the author of numerous books including "My Patients", "The Disease Charmer", "Stories of Ordinary Healing", "How Not to Become a Patient", "Back Pain: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know But Were Afraid to Ask", "Everyone Is a Psychopath Except Me, I'm an Airplane", and "Chronicle of the COVID Era". In 2013 he founded Hnízdo zdraví (Health's Nest), a centre for integrated psychosomatic medicine, which was taken over and dismantled by mainstream medicine representatives in 2024. He is a recipient of the Golden Erratic Boulder award from the Czech Skeptics Club Sisyphus (2015). In 2024, citing gross violations of medical expertise and ethics during the COVID period, he expelled the Czech Medical Chamber from his association and moved to the position of health advisor.
