Customer Reviews
Great perspectives, love the humor
I’m a new listener but already a huge fan. The hosts are fantastic and I appreciate the approach—very well informed but realistic and pragmatic as far as what we can actually achieve in the primary care setting and staying focused on patient centered goals. Love the humor and skepticism/borderline mistrust of the medical establishment when discussing new drugs and trials. Highly recommend for primary care and family med providers.
Love the show but…
I really like the content but sometimes I just have to stop listening because the background noise is too annoying. Just mute your mics when not talking please .
Great show
Love the dynamics between the hosts and the studies they present. The sound is very poor with sometimes a lot of background noise but still great show, great EBM.
