I came to the podcast to broaden my knowledge before medical school, and possibly learn something that may help patients I encounter. I was familiar with a good amount of the l... more

  • Podcast is good the journal is unfortunately flawed

    The podcast is well read (with the exception of some medication names being mispronounced) and does a great job on paraphrasing studies. The main issue is with the journal articles.

    Another issue is the lack of opinion diversity. While the medical profession has been based on the concept of continued progression, not all progress is for the best of humanity. It w... more

    I am impressed with the breadth of information presented, the focused brevity, the clarity of speech, and quality of recording, each of which has been an issue in other medical podcasts that I’ve followed.

    Sincere Thanks, H. Messec, MD
