  • Acupuncture?

    I guess I am more surprised that dr Mike doesn’t believe in acupuncture? Like he experienced the benefit and the accident side of it, but he doesn’t believe it? Hmmm I mean, it’s like a widely practice medicine in eastern medicine🤔 it would be interesting if he looks more into it

I worked right along side MDs and RNs on many many cases , codes etc. thank you again.

  • Masterclass

    UK Anaesthetic trainee (resident) who has been listening to Dr Mike for the last 6-months. Just listened to the “brain health” with Dr Amen episode which solidified for me Dr Mike’s unrelenting yet respectable approach to evidence-based medicine and combatting pseudoscience. Amazing content on the pod and I look forward to listening to many more episodes.
