  • Great! But please one niggle

    Love the pod but please can you stop with the little interjections whilst the other person is speaking. The small “yeahs” and noises are really distracting and take away from the quality of the pod. Other than that it’s great. Keep going!

  • Completely unlistenable

    In the most recent stroke episode the host needs to stop saying “yeah” after every sentence the guest says. Just listen to his learned advice.

  • Very informative and engaging podcast even for laypeople

    While I’m not a doctor, I have a keen interest for medicine.

    This podcast is such a simple yet well executed idea to discuss real life clinical cases.

    It really helps people (even the ones who don’t work on hospital wards) understand the pressures, dilemmas and ethical decisions doctors are confronted with every day.

    I love the breadth of topics chosen, and the pedagogical approach allows people to walk through cases slowly.

    I probably understand 80% of what’s being discussed (as there’s a fair ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 107: The heart of the matter: air quality beyond the lungs.
Q: What indoor recommendations should be considered in consultations?
Avoid burning coal or wood, ensure good ventilation with functioning extractor hoods, minimize gas cooking, reduce volatile organic compounds from paints and cleaners, and consider damp/mold issues as part of patient history and housing assessments.
Episode 107: The heart of the matter: air quality beyond the lungs.
Q: What practical steps can clinicians give in outdoor situations to reduce exposure?
Avoid peak pollution times like rush hours, stay away from busy roads, opt for green spaces, consider masks when outside, and use trees as natural air filters when possible.
Episode 107: The heart of the matter: air quality beyond the lungs.
Q: Can you tell us about the current state of play with respect to communicating about air quality with patients?
There is both good and bad news: curricula increasingly include air quality concepts, and clinicians are gradually incorporating conversations about air quality into practice, especially when patients report symptoms that improve away from home; the key is making it a standard, contextual discussion when relevant.
Episode 103: Modern Palliative Care: its Evolving Role, Individualised Prescribing and Honest Conversations at the End of Life
Q: How should clinicians approach conversations about prognosis and potential death with families?
Be honest about uncertainty, use ranges rather than fixed timelines, explain what you observe in the patient day by day, and invite ongoing dialogue; support and reassess with the family rather than delivering a one-off prognostic statement.
Episode 103: Modern Palliative Care: its Evolving Role, Individualised Prescribing and Honest Conversations at the End of Life
Q: When is it appropriate to involve specialist palliative care earlier in a patient's illness trajectory?
Early involvement is appropriate when a patient has a progressive, life-limiting illness and when symptom burden or complexity suggests they may benefit from expert input, particularly to support complex decision-making, plan for future care needs, and facilitate conversations about goals of care.
