Episode Description

Dr. Kendall Moore and Dr. Owais Durrani break down The Pitt S2E13, and since our guest Dr. Ashok Tholpady (BigAshT) is in the show, we also get into his scene from the Season 2 finale.Ash is a transfusion medicine physician who trained at NIH and was an attending at MD Anderson, then left medicine to act in The Pitt, Better Call Saul, Euphoria, and more. He talks leaving a 300k career for Hollywood, the reality of shooting on set, and selling his Houston house to fund his award-winning film Son of Bikram. Plus we react to the real medicine: the weekend effect, aortic dissections, standard of care, and health misinformation.
