Lüder Wohlenberg has been a successful cabaret artist for many years. He currently has two full-length cabaret shows in his repertoire. A native of the Hanseatic City of Rhineland, Wohlenberg is a doctor by profession, specifically a radiologist.
Born in Hamburg, he attended school in Neuss and studied medicine in Cologne. He trained as a radiologist in Düren and Mönchengladbach. There, he also worked as a certified emergency physician until, not least due to the success of his alter ego “Mr. Raderscheid,” he decided to work primarily as a cabaret artist and presenter.
Wohlenberg and his portrayal of the professional patient, Mr. Raderscheid, are always welcome guests on radio and television. Among other things, he has gained many new fans over several years as Mr. Raderscheid in his weekly radio column on SWR radio.
Numerous health care reforms, two traffic accidents, and a shoulder joint dislocation have not diminished him, the over two-meter-tall stage giant. Wohlenberg knows the health care system from both sides of the needle and knows what medicine can do and where it’s better to keep the scalpel in the package.
Today he lives in Cologne with his family doctor, his two children, and a few fish. Wohlenberg is also a proven football expert. As the coach of a youth football team, he has found another true passion. He enjoys analyzing, philosophizing, predicting, and commenting, even on these topics, entertainingly and with his usual competence and reliability.

https://www.spiegel.de/lebenundlernen/uni/europas-superhirn-gipfel-invasion-der-intelligenzler-a-569413.html citation from this article: Author Nicole Schuster learned this the hard way. “As an autistic and gifted person, I was desperate for a long time, felt rejected as a child and adolescent, and felt like an outsider everywhere.” Her predisposition wasn’t discovered until she was 18, and then she went full throttle: “I have a photographic memory for details and I love writing,” she says. “During my pharmacy studies, I began giving lectures nationwide on giftedness and how to properly deal with highly intelligent children—especially for teachers, because they had done a lot of mistakes with me in the past.”

Tess Gerritsen (born Terry Tom; June 12, 1953[1]) is the pseudonym of Terry Gerritsen,[2] an American novelist and retired general physician.
Tess Gerritsen is the child of a Chinese immigrant and a Chinese-American seafood chef. While growing up in San Diego, California, Gerritsen often dreamt of writing her own Nancy Drew novels.[4] Her first name is Terry; she decided to feminize it when she was a writer of romance novels.[2] Although she longed to be a writer, her family had reservations about the sustainability of a writing career, prompting Gerritsen to choose a career in medicine.[5] In 1975, Gerritsen graduated from Stanford University with a BA in anthropology, intrigued by the ranges of human behavior.[6] She went on to study medicine at the University of California, San Francisco.[5] She received her medical degree in 1979 and started work as a physician in Honolulu, Hawaii.[7][8]
While on maternity leave, she submitted a short story to a statewide fiction contest in the magazine Honolulu. Her story, “On Choosing the Right Crack Seed“, won first prize and she received $500.[7][9] The story focused on a young male reflecting on a difficult relationship with his mother. Gerritsen claimed the story allowed her to deal with her own childhood turmoil, including the repeated suicide attempts of her mother.[7]
Inspired by the romance novels she enjoyed reading while working as a doctor, Gerritsen’s first novels were romantic thrillers.[7] After two unpublished “practice novels”, Call After Midnight was bought by publisher Harlequin Intrigue in 1986 and published a year later.[10] Gerritsen subsequently wrote eight romantic thrillers for Harlequin Intrigue and Harper Paperbacks.
In 1996, Gerritsen wrote Harvest, her first medical thriller.[10] The plot was inspired by a conversation with a retired homicide detective who had recently traveled in Russia. He told her young orphans were vanishing from Moscow streets, and police believed the kidnapped children were being shipped abroad as organ donors.[11]Harvest was Gerritsen’s first hardcover novel, and it marked her debut on the New York Times bestseller list at number thirteen.[12] Following Harvest, Gerritsen wrote three more bestselling medical thrillers: Life Support,[13]Bloodstream,[14] and Gravity.
In 2001, Gerritsen’s first crime thriller, The Surgeon, was published and introduced homicide detective Jane Rizzoli. Although a secondary character in The Surgeon, Rizzoli has been a central focus of 13 subsequent novels (see below) pairing her with medical examiner Dr. Maura Isles.[16] The books inspired the Rizzoli & Isles television series starring Angie Harmon and Sasha Alexander.[17] Gerritsen also made an appearance in the series’ final season as a writer who helps Isles establish herself in the literary field
Although most of her recent books have been in the Rizzoli/Isles series, in 2007 Gerritsen wrote a stand-alone historical thriller titled The Bone Garden. A tale of gruesome murders, the book is set primarily in 1830s Boston and includes a character based on Oliver Wendell Holmes.[19][20]
Gerritsen’s books have been published in 40 countries and have sold 25 million copies.
Gerritsen co-wrote the story and screenplay for Adrift, which aired on CBS as Movie of the Week in 1993 and starred Kate Jackson and Bruce Greenwood
She is also the composer of the musical piece “Incendio” for violin and piano, a waltz that features in the plot of her novel “Playing With Fire”.[24] The composition has been recorded by violinist Susanne Hou.
Gerritsen’s mother told her traditional Chinese stories, e.g. about Monkey King. Her novel The Silent Girl uses Chinese martial arts and traditional motives in contemporary Boston. One of the victims is a Chinese chef.
