  • Accessibly understandable experts - very helpful

    Unfortunately, in a doctors office, there is not unlimited time, but with a disease so serious, it is worth spending time accessing disease research. This podcast - that’s is, Dr Singer and his guests — is (are) excellent at bringing the research to a non medically trained audience. I continue to be better informed thanks to it which allows one to be better situated to make decisions about one’s or a loved one’s treatment.
