Joy in Medicine
Thank you for this amazing show. It is informative, fascinating, and the stories really help me remember the key points (Feeding a subject 125-250 tabs of sodium bicarb -ouch!) You bring back the joy in medicine!!
So fun!
I am a mid-career medical executive (psychiatry background). What a fun way to explore questions I never learned in medical school, and refresh my basic internal medicine knowledge at the same time. A course always feels like a “chore” — but this podcast is fresh and fun.
Love this podcast
Love the podcast music- it makes me smile and want to dance and be jolly 😊.. but I also love how you guys present information. I love that you admit you don’t know everything… and you all seem to have a great chemistry and are funny which makes learning that much more fun.
Every time I listen I always think.. I need to let them know how much I enjoy their show and to please never change that intro music- it’s the best!!
