Gross Anatomy

This week we talk about Noah Wyle urging Congress to reauthorize the Lorna Breen Act, an ice cream challenge that can only be done along the Appalachian Trail and elective changes to eye color and other cosmetic surgery trends.

Our guest today is a celebrated Peloton instructor and actor, joining us all the way from London, it’s Bradley Rose. We discuss Bradley’s fitness journey, recent biopsy scare, what it’s like to work on a Hallmark holiday set, and becoming a first-time father. Then, we get Bradley to reveal his favorite Peloton playlist!

We discuss surgeons…the bad, the unlicensed and the fictional. Including, a surgeon who performed a splenectomy and removed a patient’s liver —not their spleen! And, a woman who suffered lidocaine toxicity under the care of a "doctor" who wasn't licensed to practice. Then, we take a 'which TV doctor are you?' quiz and discuss our results.

In Dissecting The Pitt Part Two, we examine the last eight episodes of the series. These episodes are full of drama and a little humor, including: A black widow bite, code triage alert, questionable blood bank, solid doctor jokes, and the finale! Plus, Dr. Cohen answers questions about what it’s really like being a surgeon in a bustling hospital.

We deep dive into the first seven episodes of The Pitt, reviewing some of the most memorable scenes from the series. We also discuss the most realistic characters, our favorite moments, and Dr. Cohen gives insight into the medical accuracy of what’s seen on screen.
