What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

As a future healthcare provider, I found this podcast extremely helpful with using it as a little quiz to remind myself of topics I learned in class as well as a learning opportunity for topics that were otherwise not known about!

The information provided is fantastic for medical/emergency providers. I enjoy the briefness of each episode. Will continue listening!

As someone who is passionate about the topic, I was overjoyed to discover a podcast that not only offers insightful information, but also does so in an interesting and amusing manner. Every episode demonstrates the host's passion for the topic and his expertise of it. They invite industry professionals as guests, who share their knowledge, insights, and opinions to offer a balanced and thorough examination of the issue.

I got to listen to the episode about fentanyl because I’ve been hearing more about it in the news. I learned that there is a lot more money in the fentanyl business compared to the heroine industry. People are more willing to take pills because of the psychological aspects, they’re more likely to take a pill rather than cutting it up and sniffing it. Fentanyl is also cheaper and has easier access to get, withdrawal is also sleeping. This podcast is very informative, they give the information needed for a listener to understand the topic they’re talking about. They list the background information necessary and even talk about the actions needed after. Highly recommend this to people who are interested in the healthcare field. I knew I really enjoyed it.
