Joe the DocsCommunist propagandaPublished a completely ill timed, not clinically relevant series focused more on social and political issues as opposed to medical podcast issues. Focusing on diversity equity and inclusion when it is clear that the majority of Americans are sick and tired of this. Intentionally going against what most Americans want. Pushing agendas, their agendas and indoctrinating younger minds. They clearly have no full concept or grasp on who is pushing this idea. This is for doctors, not sociology, social workers or other people. Continuously spreading poison to the American people and spreading that poison abroad to foreign countries. Leave this trash out of medicine.

Asheville MMAEgofestJust too painful to listen to all the effusive compliments for really basic reasoning in medicine. There is great underlying content but the hosts make it about themselves, “RLR” but really they all love themselves or are insecure about themselves, or both.
-
PeaceSerenityAmazing contentCases, schemas and discussion are so engaging and bring such good learning. The prolonged compliments each host gives every other speaker are getting longer, more elaborate and more painful to listen to. I appreciate the knowledge sharing and an impressed with the team as well - minutes long orations about the genius of each participants comment though seems excessive and detracts from what’s otherwise a very m informed conversation.
-
Yobee!2023Difficult to listen toSome of the hosts do not speak clearly and speak too quickly to understand anything being said. It isn’t appealing to listen to for that reason.
-
psychorunVolume fluctuates frequently but great contentI love the content but it’s so frustrating that the volume is frequently fluctuating depending on who is speaking or how they have their head turned. I will be listening in my car and I am having to turn the volume up and down throughout the episodes. Frustrating
-
JediKnightmar3Excellent MedEd Resource with high value informationThis podcast is excellent and filled with high value information. Very learner oriented, but I think there’s something for all levels here.
-
Dr. Michaela S.I love R and RThere is something for all learners in this podcast. Most of cases are problems that I will never see in my lifetime but they are really good about going through their thought train in order to come up with the final diagnosis. They have helped me organize my thinking which has made me a better instructor to my students.
-
koalaboy17NoThe hosts choose subpar cases to discuss; most of their deductions are not backed by evidence; and their facade of “democratizing” evidence is cheapened by them asking for paid subscriptions. I would recommend steering away from this podcast as to not stroke the egos of these people.
-
Mint teaWowThe first time I have ever heard a frank discussion about the difficulty in family planning for women in medicine. Episode 158.
-
timbenson1Episode 137Every episode is wonderful, but episode 137 was PACKED with insightful discussion and schematics. Thanks!
-
NifermorgAddictedI can’t get enough of this pod cast! I have listened to most episodes more than once.
-
a miserable fallen creatureHow “amazed” are you really?The host spends an inordinate amount of time saying how “in awe” he is that the guest clinician is able to interpret results/construct a DDx. It’s extremely awkward and off-putting. Plus, they inject way too much lefty hype into their show themes. I came to gain clinical knowledge, not to hear a polisci lecture. MedEd is populated by self-important narcissists, and this show just proves that.
-
BerkeleyYoginiConversations + Solutions We Need at a Desperate TimeThank you for this crucial and timely show. Grateful for your outstanding guests, constructs, and thought leadership. Gives me hope that we can dismantle racism in medicine and make healthcare antiracist. You have my highest recommendation!
-
VeronikaKholThanks from a rising PGY1This pod is a joy. Amazing work!!
-
LeeAGNP2bEquivalent to eating chocolate.I’m a DNP student in primary care and the dialogues in these podcasts illuminate pathophysiologic connections that reading texts often cannot. Communicating these processes and clinical manifestations is a true gift; thank you for sharing. Lee. —Grand Rapids, MI
-
RojweberEssentialAn essential podcast for anyone interested in clinical reasoning, developing differential diagnoses, and internal medicine.
-
عامر AmerI found my favorite podcastI made Twitter account last year which it led me to this podcast. I learned so much from them and it is very useful to refresh medical knowledge. I am binge listening to this podcast, lol, while running, walking, doing housework. I just love it.
-
T.Howard.Great podcast!Current cards fellow. Use this to keep up to speed on gen medicine topics. Love listening during commute and at the gym.
-
judBest IM podcast out thereThe podcast is amazing and much more to the point than some other popular IM casts (which shall not be named). So informative and cuts the fluff so it’s easier to listen during my busy schedule. Also absolutely love their schema on the site and app, well worth buying!
-
NolavisitorFantasticWell curated content. The cases are presented succinctly and really enjoy the experts and specialists that join as special guests. Great job including diverse speakers as well.
-
luke eastburgGood teaching, would be better without the gigglingGreat content but cut the constant giggling. You’re all good teachers, but not funny. As listeners, we don’t appreciate your inside jokes.
-
From the crypts of lieberkühnGood content, very scriptedThis podcast is great with regards to content, schema and getting a lot of information across very efficiently. However after listening to many of their episodes the thing that makes it hard to listen to at times is how apparently scripted it sounds. Having it scripted is certainly one of the reasons it’s so efficient and delivers the important points. However, there a plenty of podcasts that are scripted but the conversation does not sound like they are reading off the script or making the conversation fake. But the content is great overall and the time is well spent. May be tough for some listeners who will become annoyed at how strongly scripted it sounds at time.
-
need stugotzGreat podcastReally awesome, thank you for the continued episodes. In medical school now and feel that this podcast is helping me develop clinical reasoning.
-
da willmeistaGreat concept with marginal executionThe asides are generally too lengthy, the teaching points are occasionally pedantic with little clinical applicability (more “roundsmanship”-focused), and the idea of applying flow chart-like schemas to everything is too broadly applied. The off topic dialogue desperately needs to be cut in postproduction as well. The strength is the format of the podcast; aliquotted information with intermittent discussion is a very engaging use of cases. I unsubscribed after the hypoglycemia episode due to above issues though.
-
Pete o PEDRITO en ESPAÑA!Wonderful educational content & a requestBeen listening for a while now on my commutes to the hospital during my busy intern year. I couldn’t recommend this podcast more. I do have one request though. Is it possible for you guys to figure out why, when the screen locks on apple devices while the episode is playing, the mini-player does not come up that allows us to quickly stop/play, backtrack & fast forward? I often like to go back if I miss something or pause to process a thought or a lesson so it would make it so much easier if that function were to work. Thank you.
-
NAR_MDAwesomeEasy and smooth way to learn medicine I’m second year resident as I transitioned from intern year these schemes helped me a lot to order the right order and find the right diagnosis thanks CPSolvers
-
Solly Hemus#1 medicine podcastI love Big Rez and the crew! Outstanding content that has really helped shape the way I approach complex clinical scenarios. The love for medicine from these talented educators is infectious and I can’t wait for the release of each new episode!
-
syedahmedmdBest podcast for medicine and medical studentsPhenomenal podcast sharing patient cases, going thru differentials and showing how to think as a physician and getting down to diagnosis and treatment.. best podcast out there for medicine and medical students! Thank you!
-
Zs124Must listen for anyone learning or practicing internal medicinePhenomenal content. The hosts are brilliant clinicians, gifted and thoughtful educators, fun people. Highly recommend.
-
G6PDorbustMy favorite podcastI LOVE this podcast - I am a 3rd year medical student and every day I look forward to my drive home from the hospital because I get to listen to a CPS episode! Love the discussions, diagnostic schema, and analysis of every part of these interesting cases. Please keep making great episodes!
-
SnakedoctorMDPhenomenal Meducation!Truly astounding podcast - I never thought that a “Morning Report” could be recorded and reproduced so well in an audible format, but this has become a great continuing source of education for me!
-
SeanD_BCGreat content!Incredibly educational, medical podcast. The clinical unknowns are like bringing the NEJM CPS articles to life. Have you guys ever thought about uploading the podcast to Stitcher or Spotify??
-
Lebron is Weak-mindedGreat by itself, a force when paired with othersGreat stuff. Listen to this along with The Curbsiders and Core IM and your understanding of common and critical issues in IM will be taken to heights you haven't been to before. Add on a few of the amazing EM podcasts out there (and probably Behind the Knife), and become the medical rockstar that you've always wanted. To get your dose of humanity in order to keep what you do in perspective, listen to The Nocturnists. When you're in the mood to let your mind relax and listen to a story, put on Bedside Rounds and Legends of Surgery. That should help you fill up much of the silent time you experience throughout your week/month. Try it, you'll be amazed at yourself.
-
SGDubyaThank you!Keep up the great work! Currently a PGY-1 and I thoroughly enjoy hearing a good case presentation and more experienced physicians work through them. I also appreciate your various diagnostic schema’s, approaches, and clinical pearls!
-
Nick E6If only...... this was around when I was in medical school. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. A nice, easy way to remember complicated medical diagnoses. Not only that, but how to think, how to learn, and how to not miss crucial diagnoses.
-
Jwalker10Good stuffAs a medical student I enjoy learning from your experience on how to approach these different cases as I’m trying to build my own clinical reasoning. If I had one point of criticism it would be that sometimes I feel like I’m listening to a robot reading a script. Curbsiders are easy to listen to because the discussion is very conversational and if they are reading from a script it doesn’t feel that way at all. Overall I think this is good stuff and will continue to listen. Strong work!
-
Geradsfantastic podcastI feel like a gorilla listening to these guys articulate through their differentials. Really sharp docs, I feel smarter listening through their eyes. Good stuff, much more interesting than our typical morning reports. will definitely keep this on the rotation. Thanks for producing this! Gerald
-
jiujitsujoshFun medical learningThis podcast is a fantastic addition to my medical learning. First off, I love the interaction. This is super fun! Second, I am a third-year medical student and appreciate the systematic approach to clinical scenarios. I love hearing the different the schema, and their limitations. This is a new approach to me and I love it!
-
Wylder FAmazing resource for studentsThank you so much for making this podcast! It’s so helpful to hear someone break down a Complaint and approach it systematically
-
mtdayAwesomeFinding new ways to expand my clinical reasoning skills in between duties as a resident is often difficult, but podcasts like this really help me to maximize my learning and continue to grow as a physician. Can’t wait for more to come from you guys, thank you for sharing your own clinical reasoning.
-
Tanu90Fantastic!!This podcast is exactly what I’ve been looking for. The authors take you through a systematic differential diagnosis, teaching you solid principles of diagnostic reasoning. I’m thoroughly enjoying these and hope you continue to make many many more!
