Exceptional
Dr. Vakili’s genuine enthusiasm in interviewing makes the conversation effortless. The content discussed is difficult to find elsewhere and an inspiring account of the breadth of medicine.
Terrific
A lovely conversation surrounding intersections between VC and Medicine. Sharif’s curiosity is infectious! Would listen to him interview a phone book (though this is better).
