- One to follow - but not yet five-star!
I wrote this some time ago when this was one of the most incisive podcasts on the web. It’s disappointing that Dr Prassad has disappeared down the rabbit hole (and of course no longer has time for this content). Such a shame. Now 2* (just for the old content).

He is clearly trying to break the mould ... more

Essential listening early post-pandemic, a light in the storm. Carefully reasoned, well-cited, and occasionally feisty. I checked back after a long while of not listening and the good doctor has become snide and venomous. Most of the content was below the belt name calling with little focus on scientific reasoning. A shame. Good for grooming rage, not good for truthseeking.

Patients and their communities have benefited greatly from this work, it questions his credibility that he would be so dismissive o... more

As yet another burned out physician with nothing other than thinly-veiled pharma-driven biased research to inform practice, I lose more and more hope every day for our field and our collective professional future and ability to truly help people as we all initially intended- in their best interest. Thank you for being a brave and eloquent voice in analyzing and calling out specific examples of the corruption they has so insidiously infiltrated our field. Awareness leads to knowledge, and knowle... more
