Customer Reviews
Vital Signs is a Must Listen Podcast!
Huge Thank You to the Production Team and Doctors at NYU Langone Health! The writing and sound production contributed so greatly to the narration and interviews, making these a ‘must listen’! I highly recommend this podcast, and hope there will be more!

These are all reruns
Thank You to the Docs who shared their story!
As a fellow clinician myself who has also been “the patient” and worked as a Derm NP since 1991...I am in awe of the all of the MD’s who shared their story. And also for those who have battled the same “diseases” that keep them employed!!! The courage, resilience, faith, fear, and trust that our patients possess is also necessary to survive the DX and RX in each story. We clinicians are mere mortals like our patients, and surviving and enduring life-altering diagnoses teaches us things not taught in Medical or Nursing Schools. Can’t wait to hear more episodes! AND please encourage medical students and nursing students to listen to these podcasts!!!!
