Great listen and very informative

I have really enjoyed listening to Drs. Mark and “JL” on the “Is It Serious?” podcast. I find it very interesting to go behind the scenes with them as they reveal what’s really going on in every day healthcare. Their tips and hacks are also vey useful, including the one about calling the doctors office to look for late cancellations - that’s brilliant. In any case, great job guys and I look forward to more.

Dynamic hosts & great topical listen!

Love listening to both Drs Mark and JL provide their thought-provoking takes on thorny and topical medical news and issues.

They’ve got a great back-and-forth demeanor, and I always end each episode feeling more knowledgeable — and entertained — than I did before. Going through the back catalogue now to see what I missed.

Keep up the great work!
