Customer Reviews
Great news and interviews!
This is a great way to get the week’s top medical news very succinctly, and Joe Elia’s conversations with researchers are highly educational and entertaining!
I really enjoy Joe's voice
Why does he not do the Audio summaries; since the nature of the material is abstruse physicians might not accept him as legit, I like him, but
I tried to figure out why you removed him from the audio summaries and I realize maybe it was because he isn't a physician. Joe Ilea (Ileo's) voice is very nice.; his voice is so pleasant.
Decent
The interview titles and topics are very catchy. I think the interviewer for a non clinician is exceptionally bright and talented; however, a trained physician may probe the topic by asking more pertinent questions from a clinical perspective borne of experience.
