What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Dr. Crager rocks! I’m an RN and find this podcast very helpful to understanding critical care medicine better.

Abadoedoe · Mar 2025

I’ve been learning medicine for the past decade and have learned from hundreds of educators. Some explain things poorly and some do well. I’ve never come across someone who can explain these complicated topics as succinctly and understandably as Sara. Each episode I find myself having epiphanies, and things finally just make sense so I don’t even have to memorize it anymore. Her content is better than the resources you’d pay hundreds of dollars for. I can’t thank her enough for sharing this for free with the world. Truly this will help countless patients due to her efforts. One reviewer said they felt like her voice was changing… I have no idea what they’re talking about. Her voice is perfect for podcasting. She is articulate, concise, and well spoken with a normal quality of voice. Thank you for this incredible resource. Listeners if you are on the fence just listen! Start with the first podcasts on vents as well as ABG 2.0 for a great illustration of how she teaches complicated topics way better than anyone else.

Jgharding · Jan 2025

Dr. Crager is such a excellent educator! She has the ability to clearly breakdown complex concepts and somehow weave humor into it at the same time. I am currently binging all of the episodes trying to get caught up. Also, if you haven’t checked out her website icuedu.org, it’s really good! The visuals she provides there are a great supplement to the audio only format of this podcast! Thank you Sara for sharing your knowledge and expertise with the world! I have learned so much! 🙏

Rapid Response RN · Jun 2024

Great podcast! Very in-depth but easy to understand explanations and rationale for what we do in critical care. Highly recommended for students and all learners. Thanks very much for making this! Please do hyponatremia!
