  • What a treat!

    The quality of the information here is outstanding, the guests are interesting, but I loved the recent episode with just discussion of current issues!!!

    Potential podcast idea— the problem of getting medical appointments that authors referred to many times on the podcast— why is there no more discussion of opening the medical profession to more immigration given then workforce shortages, especially for primary care physicians?

  • Health and Veritas

    Wide-ranging discussions on health policy and on health care discoveries and controversies driven by policy decisions (or in some cases ignored by policy-makers.)

    I always learn something I had not known from the two hosts and from their guest of the episode,

    Bravely ventures sometimes into electoral politics, making me say “Hear hear!”

  • Great info

    Super informative and well done. Great selection of topics. My only wish is to hear less of the Yale-centric accolades, as it sounds too click-y.
