This episode we talk about the 2006 movie Vivah, starring Shahid Kapoor and Amrita Rao amongst many others. This movie is generally well remembered for this onscreen pairing but we dive into the last phase of the movie when Rao’s character Poonam, suffers a major burn a day before their wedding. We talk about the components of determining burn severity/prognosis as well as acute and long term burn management. How do you think this movie did with their depiction of the medical management?

This episode we talk about the 1971 film Anand, starring Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan, amongst many other talented actors. We delve into Anand’s medical condition-lymphosarcoma of the intestine. But we spend the bulk of our episode discussing the refreshingly realistic depiction of the doctors in the film as well as their connection with Anand. This film touches on many intricacies of the joys and barriers of practicing medicine and the nuances of how patients like Anand can leave a lasting mark so many people around them. We hope you’ll enjoy listening and as always, please send us your feedback and comments at kmhapodcast@gmail.com or find us on Instagram @kmhapodcast

Today we discuss one of our favourite movies - Kal Ho Na Ho. This movie was the motivation behind the podcast as we started thinking about Aman and the condition he actually had. We'll discuss his condition, provide a differential diagnosis, discuss the most likely condition, and answer the question - did he have to die?

Notes: ECG and Echo findings can be seen during the title song or at 2hr 5min -2hr 7min in the movie. Jovey also totally called them ECG nodes, instead of ECG leads in the podcast, he apologizes for the mistake, hopefully it doesn't take away from the podcast!
