Customer Reviews
Stellar and to the point
Stellar primary care podcast, hones in on evidence based points. Motivated me to sign up for Essential Evidence (which is also quite awesome).
Condescending doctors
Give all the facts. Don’t compare an injectable brand new vaccine mandate to wearing a seatbelt mandate. For medical professionals applying a one for all approach is concerning.
