    ENT (Rey MystEARio Jr.)

    ENT (Rey MystEARio Jr.)

    This week is the turn of ENT 👂👃🗣️and Assad has roped some old friends into the fray. We’re joined by Kate Hamnett and Joe Stansfield (Health Education North West) as we have at them; the good bits, the bad bits, the clinics (are they good or bad?), vertigo 🎭, bewildering anatomy mixed in with a bit of voodoo 🪄. And as you might expect from a bit of a catch up; we get a bit waylaid and off topic, but there’s plenty there for you to listen to!

    Maxfax (Kurt Angle-of-the-Mandible)

    Maxfax (Kurt Angle-of-the-Mandible)

    This episode brings the true heavyweights into the arena; we are joined by Zak Cole-Healey and Basim Dawoud (Health Education North West) as we get our teeth into maxfax! There's lots to unpick; what is it that compels a person to do both dentistry AND medicine?! 🎓
    How do you afford it?! 💸
    So do maxfax deal with teeth or not? 🦷 (tbh we're still not quite sure...) How do they pick up their skills?🧐 As for who they could take in a fight? Soft tissue, orthopaedics 🦴, vascular 🩸 and plastics 🔬 skills, plus the stamina for two degrees?! These guys are truly capable of bringing the pain, and also dealing with the aftermath!

    Specialty Series Smackdown Halftime Show

    Specialty Series Smackdown Halftime Show

    And now, a brief pause in our ongoing specialty series. We bring you our halftime show!
    Well not really, we have some bits left over from other episodes we want to bring you. Unfortunately, life gets in the way sometimes and whilst we deal with the realities of training and living, sometimes scheduling, recording and editing has to take a backseat. This is still stuff we haven't released, and we will be back to bring the smacketh down in the coming weeks...
    Edit: To those that brought this to our attention, thank you and sorry ... Some things are better left unsaid.

    Vascular (The Profundataker)

    Vascular (The Profundataker)

    This time it's personal: today its the turn of vascular, and Assad has roped in a formidable tag-team: Stacie Hodge (who is legitimately solid) and Mo Elkawafi (both Health Education North West) are in the vascular corner. Are vascular just angry psychopaths? Do they just direct all their wrath from blocked bypasses and failed operations at everyone else? What about those IVDUs? We chat about the good bits, the bad bits, and the bits that get thrown in the amputation bin. What do they wish they knew before starting? What are the biggest misconceptions, and finally, who could they take in a fight? Probably anyone if you take an arteriotomy knife to the right spot....

    Plastics (Approximate the Edges)

    Plastics (Approximate the Edges)

    Today we welcome plastics into the fray, and we're joined by Dan Lazenby and Henry de Berker (Health Education North West). We try and get to the bottom of what makes plastics plastics: are they biding their time to make a fortune in private practice? Are they low-key obsessive compulsive about the things that the rest of us don't care about? Is this an inherent or learned trait? We've heard they're a flamboyant bunch, but are the rumours true?! Do they in fact possess surgical superpowers? We delve into this and more, as we aim to scratch beneath the surface. As for who they could beat in a scrap, they maintain they're lovers not fighters, but their strategy is credible and they're not afraid of taking on multiple specialties!
