Improbable Developments
Salem OaksEvery medicine in your pharmacy has a human story behind it. Real people doing real work and living real lives. We all have romantic ideas about scientists working late into the evening or doctors dropping everything to answer a phone call about a patient.

Reviews
I found this podcast when I was searching for a certain doctor. The guests that Kevin interviews on this show are so incredible and inspiring. I love getting the behind the scenes story from people in the rare disease community. The host comes from a pharmaceuticals background which really is such an interesting avenue that connects with his guests. This isn't one that is over your head as a listener if you listen closely and have experience as a patient or a caregiver. Amazing content.
