  • The mind game

    Thank you Andrew for your amazing podcast. Being able to tap into the non-technical skills of some of the best intensivists is incredibly useful and refreshing. Many of the lessons learned are lessons in humanism in the context of caring for people during their most fearful and risky moments of their lives. It is helping to bring the soul back to medicine.

    Many thanks.

  • Time very well spent

    This is perfect for my hour commute to work. A wealth of information on important areas that are not traditionally ‘academic’ yet arguably more useful to patients and ourselves in my opinion. I go into work buzzing with new ideas.
