This is a podcast about what happens when life and medicine collide – and how people overcome, adapt and thrive in the face of life’s health challenges. Each week, Dr Oscar Duke (GP on BBC Morning Live and author of How to Be a Dad) is joined by a guest who opens up about the challenges they’ve faced with their health – from chronic conditions and everyday health hurdles to life-altering surgeries – and how those experiences shaped their life’s achievements and path to success.
Guests will also be discussing some of the incredible and surprising bedside manners they’ve encountered along the way, as well as bringing along burning questions about their conditions, answered by top specialists and leading medical experts to explain the science, bust myths and offer guidance.
