great public service!

i’m a practicing nephrologist. though i know many of what you’re teaching, the way you frame things allows me to teach students and internists the concepts better. i love how unpretentious, down to earth, and funny you all are. please keep it up. you’re doing a great public service, and don’t let anybody tell you otherwise.

Dr. Ambruso, Young, and Blaine have managed to make nephrology interesting and sexy, like a first date, but for several dates. I look forward to new episodes and the topics they are going to cover

I couldn’t believe but the hosts have managed to make Nephrology sexy “one episode at a time”. That is no easy feat.
