S2 E7 That’s Edu-tainment!

Comedicine

We head back across the pond to UK interventional cardiologist, Youtuber and comedian, Dr Rohin Francis. His YouTube channel is called Medlife Crisis. Rohin makes videos on medical topics that don’t get covered elsewhere and/or with more scientific rigor than Goop! He breaks it down to make it understandable and he crams in a lot of jokes! We talk about science, jokes and trying to find balance. Is that a thing?
