As a PA, this podcast makes me feel less alone. The stories are so relatable and remind me why I got into medicine in the first place. Thank you for creating it.

A cinematic, penetrating, relevant, unexpected, human show. World-class storytelling, interviews, and audio documentaries that will rivet listeners far beyond the healthcare profession.

I was alerted to this pod from another listen to. I gave it a try and immediately fell in love. The topics are pertinent, but not what you hear elsewhere. Discussions are thoughtful and from a different perspective.
Love the Nocturnist

I’m a social worker who works in the suicide prevention field, and also lives with disability and chronic illnesses. Dr. Silverman, Dr. Block and all your eloquent (and when warranted, humorous) guests do a wonderful job letting people into the intimate world of provider/pt interaction through the beautiful medium of storytelling. Thank you so much for such a lovely and lyrical podcast.
