ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Medicine isn’t a straight road, it’s a roundabout, full of unexpected exits and surprising detours. The First Cut explores those twists and turns, the discoveries that change the way we see the world, and the conversations that remind us medicine is really about people, not just diseases. Along the way, we meet those who challenge assumptions, reveal hidden truths, and show that the human side of medicine is as complex, inspiring, and unpredictable as the science itself.
