Customer Reviews
Pitch too basic
Agree with previous reviews about sound issues (although seems improved on recent recordings) however my concerns run also into content. I find that level is pitched too low, no medical knowledge seems to be assumed. This allows for superficial coverage only for issues that could be fleshed out a bit more. There also appears to be very little critical evaluation of studies discussed which is disappointing.
Excellent information on COVID in Australia
I just listened to Professor Brendan Crabb on the current situation with COVID in Australia. Very informative and recommend to everyone.
Not worth considering
Yet another failure by the AMA. More politics and woke opinion, very little true medicine and no surgery. An utter waste of the members money.
