United Kingdom7 days ago - The best medical podcast
An interesting and well informed podcast, challenging complex medical cases. My only criticism is, I wish it would be more frequent than fortnightly episodes, I think I’ve listened to all the shows at least three times now and i only discovered the show two months ago! Love the presenters, it is clear they are fantastic consultants, that have not lost touch with real life experiences. Please please keep up the good work, you guys are truly inspiring. Thank you both
Apple Podcasts5Scarlet8888United Kingdom11 days ago - Listened for years, keep coming back.
Now a GP, I’ve listened to Amie and Ben’s podcasts since being a foundation trainee. Really enjoy hearing them work through the diagnostic process and discuss factors in decision making and missteps along the way. I recommend it to colleagues and friends all the time. Great learning resource and a way to make yourself feel better about uncertainty and the challenges of modern medicine.

Apple Podcasts5RWebbsUnited Kingdom2 months ago - The BEST medical Podcasts ever!!
I am an ANP in Liverpool and I have listened to all of your podcasts at least twice. I work with ANP students, Drs and medical students I always point them in your direction. I have worked for the NHS for over 30 years and you’re both so much kinder and open than the “older” Consultants I remember in Secondary care!
I love how you both work things out differently but come to the same conclusion and I love your clinical reasoning.
The only down side … I’d love a new podcast each week!!
Thank... more
