About Medical Madness

Medicine is not funny. It's not. Stop laughing. We're serious. It's really not funny... but it can be. No, not the plight of patients or the hardships that marginalized groups go through dealing with the medical system. We're talking about the conversations around healthcare.Medicine can be relatable. It can be demystified. It can be more than just jargon and expensive bills. We can talk about it in a humorous way and deconstruct why things are the way they are, and more importantly, how we can make them better.In Big Brain Time: The Podcast, medical student and host, Akash Nagapurkar, medical industry physicians, lawyers, care providers, and other guests aim to accomplish just that. Through nuanced conversation that you've never heard anywhere else, we explore the ins and outs of every question about medicine you may have been too afraid or concerned to ask with the experts able to answer those questions (while also having a good laugh along the way). We hope you enjoy the listen!

How to trust your doctor with Dr. Michael Kim

What does it take to rebuild trust in medicine? In this episode of Big Brain Time: The Podcast, Akash sits down with Dr. Michael Kim - a med-peds physician and Assistant Dean of Student Affairs at the University of Minnesota - to talk about empathy, burnout, and the human side of healthcare. From hilarious “lightning round” questions and why he’s the Asian version of The Rock, to deep conversations about toxic residencies, patient trust, and mental health in medicine, this episode blends humor with heart. If you’ve ever wondered what your doctor’s thinking — or how doctors stay human — this one’s for you.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
