    I was impressed with Dr. Shaw’s intelligent and out of the box paper. I was disappointed in Dr. Kalra when he repeatedly addressed her by her first name while addressing The male doctor as “Dr.”. Also disappointing that Dr. Karla assumed the paper was the brainchild of the man and not the woman, and thank you to Dr. Harris for immediately correcting this assumption. Please be equally respectful regardless of gender.

  • Interesting Topics

    As a cardiac nurse, it’s been interesting to get a more in depth look at some of these topics. In the hospital, we are so focused on patient care and education for our individual roles. This podcast provides me with a physician’s perspective that we don’t always have the time at work to discuss. It’s been a wonderful listen thus far.

  • Exceptional idea to interview great cardiologist

    The idea of interviewing cardiologists is exceptional. It literally helps early stage people like me to know them, their values, ideology, how their journey evolved. We know them from distant but after listening this podcast it feels we know them. Dr Kalra is a great guy, his questions are so relatable to reviewers like me. I listen to it everyday on my commute and it gives me great pleasure. They are so engaging that sometimes I have lost my exit, lol!!

    Great work!
