NEJM This Week

Informative but a bit to much emphasis equity and not enough on medical science.

The podcast is well read (with the exception of some medication names being mispronounced) and does a great job on paraphrasing studies. The main issue is with the journal articles. There is too much emphasis on cancer treatments. ~30% of physicians work in primary care while only 2.1% work in Hem/onc specialties. Another issue is the lack of opinion diversity. While the medical profession has been based on the concept of continued progression, not all progress is for the best of humanity. It would be nice to see a conservative side to arguments such as abortion, affirmative action in the medical community, and equity. Thanks

I am impressed with the breadth of information presented, the focused brevity, the clarity of speech, and quality of recording, each of which has been an issue in other medical podcasts that I’ve followed. Sincere Thanks, H. Messec, MD

This podcast helps me keep up with up-to-date stuffs as a medical student. I would give it a 5 star if not for the narration that made me feel like I’m listening to the podcast on 0.5x speed.. I have to increase the playback speed every time I listen so that my brain wouldn’t be bored
