Ronny Tekal (born Ronny Teutscher on July 23, 1969 in Vienna) is an Austrian physician, cabaret artist, medical journalist, radio producer, author and co-founder of the medical cabaret Peter & Tekal.
Dr. Ronny Tekal is a general practitioner, medical cabaret artist, radio producer, and author. His satirical columns appear in “Ärzte-Woche,” “Ärztemagazin,” the Swiss “Weltwoche,” and various health magazines.
He is the Ö1 radio doctor for Austrian Broadcasting. He is a frequently booked keynote speaker, communications trainer, and moderator at medical symposia and conferences.
With the medical cabaret comedy duo Peter & Tekal, which he co-founded, he has brought laughter to around 500,000 patients (sorry, it’s a habit!) and audiences. He lives near Vienna.
Tekal studied medicine at the University of Vienna and received his doctorate in medicine in 1995. He has been a general practitioner since 2000. He lives in Mauerbach near Vienna.
Even during his studies, he composed sing-alongs for school classes, as well as the musical “Hospital,” which premiered in Vienna in 1992. This was followed by compositions for musicals by the children’s theater group “Die Stachelbären” at the Vienna Theater am Alsergrund, under the direction of Andreas Hutter, and for the play “Coccinella” by the Theater Impetus.
In 1995, he founded the cabaret duo Peter & Teutscher with communications scientist Norbert Peter. Since 2006, the group has focused exclusively on medical topics, choosing the name “Medical Cabaret.” Similar to the work of German physicians and cabaret artists Eckart von Hirschhausen, Lüder Wohlenberg, and Ludger Stratmann, their work focuses on satirical explorations of doctors, patients, and the medical system. Elements of the seminar cabaret created by Austrian psychologist Bernhard Ludwig also appear.
In 2000, they won the audience vote as the best Austrian participants at the Vienna Goldener Kleinkunstnagel (Golden Cabaret Nail) and twice received the Munich Kabarett Kaktus (Cabaret Kaktus). In 2013, the cabaret duo’s name was changed to Peter & Tekal.[2]
A portrait of the artists with excerpts from their programs was shown several times on ORF and 3sat in 2001, and the program Seitensprung (Side Jump) was also broadcast on Premiere Austria. In 2013, the program Patientenflüsterer (Patient Whisperer) was broadcast on ORF III as part of the Hyundai Cabaret Days. In 2016, he appeared on ORF with Echt krank! (Really Sick!) as part of Kabarett im Turm (Cabaret in the Tower).
Tekal is a member of the ORF radio science editorial team, an author, speaker, and creator of contributions for Ö1, primarily for Ö1 Radiodoktor.
His satirical column, “Side Effects,” has been published weekly in Ärzte-Woche (Springer-Verlag) since 2008.
As a founding member of PULS – Association for Combating Sudden Cardiac Death, Tekal headed the organization between 2008 and 2013. During this time, as part of this initiative, in addition to major first aid events in Vienna, the first publicly accessible defibrillators for laypersons (AEDs) were installed. The goal of making Vienna heart-safe was implemented jointly with the City of Vienna and the major emergency services. In 2013, there were over 300 defibrillators registered in the defibrillator network in Vienna at subway stations, shopping centers, the airport, public buildings, and police stations.[4] At the 4th German Interdisciplinary Emergency Medicine Congress in 2013, the presentation of the PULS campaign “Vienna Becomes HEART-Safe” was awarded first place.
Tekal, together with the second PULS founder, emergency physician Roman Fleischhackl, received the Vienna Helper Prize 2013 from the Vienna city government.

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.
You can find out more about him and his programs as well as his work as a cabaret artist, presenter and speaker here on his homepage.

Thomas Wessinghage (born 22 February 1952 in Hagen, North Rhine-Westphalia) is a German former middle- and long-distance runner who won the 1982 European Championships‘ final over 5000 metres beating the British world-record holder David Moorcroft.
Because he was already thirty at the time, and had been an international-level runner for a decade, this victory was a long-awaited one for him. He admitted that he decided to run the 5,000 metres instead of the 1,500 metres, because he lost to Ovett and Coe so often in the shorter distance. The fairly slow pace of the 1982 European Athletics Championships 5,000-metre final favoured Wessinghage, because he was in top form – having set a European record at 2,000 metres shortly before the Championships – and because he was the fastest 1,500-metre runner in the final, having run that distance in 3 minutes 31.6 seconds in 1980.
He won the German championship title 22 times. The European Championship over 5000 meters, which he won in 1982, was his greatest success. In 1979, he won the World Cup over 1500 meters in Montreal, in 1975 the European Cup over 1500 meters in Nice, and in 1983 the 5000 meters in London. He set German and European records, of which the German records over 1500 and 2000 meters (4:52.20 min) still stand.
In his marathon debut in Berlin in 1989, Wessinghage ran a time of 2:26 h.
Thomas Wessinghage was German champion 22 times, particularly in the 1500 meters. His greatest success, however, was in the 5000 meters. He won gold in this event at the 1982 European Championships in Athens. Wessinghage also competed at the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich and the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal.

Detlef Fastré enjoys being a doctor. But when the Cologne-based anesthesiologist isn’t on duty, he has another passion: cycling. He doesn’t just ride the ten kilometers to work on his racing bike. When he’s out and about on weekends, he sometimes covers 100 kilometers in a day. His favorite ride is in the Bergisches Land region. “Cycling is a wonderful counterbalance to his medical career,” he says. His workload at the anesthesiology practice where he works currently amounts to about 50 hours a week. “On my bike, I can relax mentally and stay physically fit at the same time.”
For Fastré, however, sport is also a social experience. And so, in 2002, he became a member of the “Cycling Association of German Doctors and Pharmacists” (RVDÄ). (now dissolved). The association had around 200 members. They all shared a passion for cycling. Fastré is a board member and serves as treasurer. The motivation for his commitment: the friendly contact with colleagues from other disciplines. The association organizes road bike and mountain bike tours and training events on medicine and cycling.

The Triathlon Association of German Doctors and Pharmacists (TVDÄ) was founded in 1985 in Großkrotzenburg. Doctors and pharmacists joined forces to promote triathlon, as well as duathlon and cross-country skiing (King Ludwig Run).
Compliments to the association for combining these three disciplines into one organization with a consistent website! This is something that is (still) lacking in other medical associations…

Nicole Schuster (born January 14, 1985 in Aachen[1][2]) is a German author and pharmacist. She was particularly active in the media in 2007 and 2008, raising awareness about Asperger syndrome.
She was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome in November 2005. From then on, she campaigned for awareness about this variant of autism.
Nicole Schuster made her media debut on July 24, 2007, in the ZDF television program “37 Grad” (37 Degrees).[3] On August 13 of the same year, she made her second television appearance on the SWR program “Leute” (People). A month later, Schuster was interviewed in the RBB cultural radio series “Gott und die Welt” (God and the World). Shortly afterward, she was interviewed by Stern magazine, which was published under the title “Und jeden Mittag gibt es Savoy cabbage” (And every lunchtime there’s savoy cabbage) in issue 44 of 2007.
On November 30, 2007, she appeared on the MDR program Unter uns. She also appeared on the SWR program Nachtcafé on March 7, 2008. On August 17, 2008, she made her second radio appearance in an interview on the WDR5 radio program Dok 5 – Das Feature: Der blinde Spiegel: Vom autistischen Weg ein Ich zu sein.[4] Three months later, she appeared on the WDR program Quarks & Co.[5]
In August 2008, she was honored in Cologne with the “International Intellectual Benefits Award” from the Mensa Education and Research Foundation for her efforts to “give autistic people a voice.”
From May 2016 to the end of 2016, she served as chairwoman of the Mensa association in Germany. As a licensed pharmacist, she manages the production of clinical trial medicinal products at a medium-sized pharmaceutical company.
In 2016, she received her doctorate from the Philipps University of Marburg with her thesis “A Herb Has Grown Against Fever.”

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.”
