Defunct Doctors is a podcast about rare, curious, and intriguing medicine. Every week, Dr. Lynne Kramer and Dr. Helen Shui will talk casually about a grab-bag of stories and topics: from exotic diseases to rare genetic conditions, from historical oddities to fascinating advancements, from hero doctors to despicable doctors, from amazing survival stories to disheartening medical failures. They will delve into unique aspects of medicine - the strange, the unusual, and the amazing. Dr. Lynne Kramer is a defunct developmental pediatrician who spent ten years out of the clinic raising her kids. Dr. Helen Shui is a partially defunct surgeon who is out of the clinic and the operating room, but still has a desk job. They both love things that are fascinating, especially in medicine.
