Customer Reviews
This podcast got me through med school and is still very helpful in residency
This podcast helped me immensely in medical school and is a great refresher for some common topics in residency (e.g. pneumonia, heart failure, infective endocarditis). I’ve also really been enjoying the episodes on more specialist topics like pacemakers which is quite helpful for my current role. On the wards I frequently teach medical students at the bedside but also run tutorials and I very often will recommend specific episodes to them to lean in more detail or revise concepts we’ve gone over on the drive home. The funny characters and anecdotes and jokes make the content memorable and keep it engaging and interesting. Thanks so much for making the time to teach us between your busy clinical workloads!

I love them all 🐐
Ok
There are some great insights and authors are very knowledgable but it is sometimes difficult to listen to for multiple reasons. The audio is bad in most episodes, loud and quiet in different parts. Also, the authors regularly laughing about ways they implement interventions they maybe shouldn't have or someone else shouldn't have makes me feel like they are being Dr's for the wrong reasons.
