As an endoscopy tech who’s assisted in too many colonoscopies to count, I wish all our patients listened to this episode before coming in for their colonoscopies!!!
I’ve listened to a lot of podcasts in my day. But this one is my favorite of late. Sometimes it’s an informative and thoughtful discussion about endometriosis. Sometimes it’s a good look at what’s going on with science deniers or the war in Iran. And sometimes it’s just a fun discussion of how harmful the injuries in the movie Home Alone REALLY are. Honestly I think the last one should be a spinoff podcast where real doctors evaluate movie injuries.
Thanks for all the info. Except for when the guest called Korea “Southeast Asia” because that is inaccurate and very annoying to me (I’m of South Korean descent)
Very helpful and informative. Thank you!
i’m an IM resident pursuing GI, and i love this podcast! it has everything i could want - GI, funny people, music, hot sauce, san francisco, discussion with experts on critical and relevant issues. i laugh and learn whenever i listen. thank you kaveh for making this - you are an inspiration!
