America Dissected - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed and his guests are some of the most astute and morally consistent voices at the intersections of science, medicine, public health, politics, and society.
“America Dissected” takes the metaphorical scalpel to plethoras of fundamental social, policy, and infrastructural assumptions in the US and beyond.

In an age of climate destruction, resurgent eugenics, and accelerating genocides, I especially appreciate their unwavering commitment to human health and dignity in every corner of the world.

I get a lot of my science and medical news from this show. Dr. El-Sayed lays things out in an easy to understand manner, but not one that patronizes the listener. His interviews are good, as is his analysis of the issues.

I’ve listened to Abdul for about a year now and his convos on healthcare are ones I wish more dentists had. I share these episodes with colleagues at my health center and with friends and will rely on it heavily during the next presidential term. Thank you, Abdul for your impactful work!

The discussion around public health on this show is great, which is the true expertise of the hosts. However, at times, when they veer into discussing the nuance of medicine and medical practice, Dr. El Sayed’s lack of clinical experience makes him not a credible commentator on the experience of doctors. This is fine, but I would try to invite practicing doctors on to fill this gap and account for what can at times be a clear bias due to a shallow depth of knowledge that having only medical school clinical experiences brings.
