  • Good podcast, would appreciate less repetition & more time spent on the topics of the episode

    Overall, I enjoy the podcast, agree with most of the opinions of Rav & the guests, and have interests in all of these subjects. Unfortunately, there’s a lot of wasted time repeating the same information & venting about flaws in the system. I agree with most of this, and am happy there is a focus on it, but I gain nothing from hearing it a million times.

As far as ... more

  • You seemed so intent on explaining your position that you failed to explore the position of your Interviewee. Why does he focus on the patient? It seems you missed an opportunity to explore a perhaps significant viewpoint of doctors who think reforming the system is useless and who therefore prefer to focus on the patient in front of them, encouraging them to take a proactive role with regard to their own health.

  • Great

    Excellent. The podcast addresses various topics related to the Covid-19 pandemic. Adresses delicate topics which have been often completely omitted or at least underreported in the mainstream media.
