Mummyonamission ,

Great medical podcast

I’m an old age psychiatrist and like to try to keep my medical knowledge up to date and challenged. I have recommended this podcast to many colleagues. I also like the discussions about bias and clinical reasoning . I often listen to these in the car with my husband who is also a medic - always a competition to get the diagnosis first.

Please bring out more!!

I am a physio working in the NHS and find these podcasts so useful and interesting. Currently training for a marathon and have done many runs listening to these, please bring out some more as I’ve done the lot now and still have a few more weeks to go 🤣!🙏🙏🙏

Fascinating and a great acute med reminder for a non-acute physician

I listen to this podcast as an oncology reg interested in acute oncology.
It’s an excellent reminder of acute medicine but I also love hearing Ami, Ben and guests talking through decision making. It shows me just how differently we are trained to this in Oncology! Would love to hear an episode of you discussing more acute cases with cancers, as I am sure we are slow to get to diagnoses in oncology as we are out of practice!
