Mark Your Calendars: Free Lecture on Hernias on Oct 6, 2025
Mark your calendars for Monday, October 6, 2025, at 5 PM. The Bad Hersfeld Clinic's Auditorium 1 will host a lecture titled 'I'm going to throw out my back! - What hernias really mean'. Organized by the Volkshochschule in collaboration with the clinic, this event is open to all, free of charge, and requires no registration. Following the lecture, there will be a Q&A session and conversation with the speaker.
Martin Benkel, the Chief Senior Physician of the Clinic for General and Visceral Surgery, will lead the lecture. He will demystify the medical term 'hernia', explaining its causes and the modern surgical procedures used to treat it. While the phrase 'throw out my back' is commonly used to describe back pain or injury, it's not a medical term. The lecture aims to provide understandable medical knowledge, even adding a touch of humor to lighten the mood.
Whether you're affected by hernias, a relative, or simply interested in learning more, this lecture is an excellent opportunity. Join Martin Benkel at the Bad Hersfeld Clinic on October 6, 2025, at 5 PM, for an informative and engaging session.
