Same patient, different plans. Bayesian Musings asks why. ICU trainee Vishnu talks with clinicians across disciplines to unpack the habits, pressures, and training that drive our calls and consults, such that handovers get cleaner, decisions get safer, and shifts feel less draining. You’ll hear stories, simple frameworks, and language that moves conversations forward. Made for med students, junior docs, registrars, and anyone who is curious! *Opinions are the guests’/host’s own, not medical advice*
