Hospital romances and dramatic defibrillator saves are good for television ratings but they can be cringe worthy for real doctors. JL & Mark have fun debunking medical show myths and misuse of props. The details matter! But don’t look too closely at our logo. Our stethoscope is apparently a dead giveaway that we might be amateurs! (It was the only stethoscope in stock footage in the shape of a question mark. This is how media decisions get made.)

Mark Lewis, MD and Jean Luc Neptune, MD tackle the sensitive subject of weight. What exactly are the measures of health? While we often assume that being overweight is a sign of being unhealthy, we rarely think that someone who is thin can be out of shape. With the current obesity epidemic in the United States, it is worth asking the question, "Can I be fat and healthy?" but a better question might be, what does healthy look like?

The 21st Century Cures Act made it mandatory to release scans and lab results to patients as soon as they are ready.
