Medicine in Layman's Terms
"Medicine in Layman's Terms" is an educational podcast that discusses common medical terms, diagnoses and more. Often, we may recognize the terms- hypertension, diabetes, thyroid dysfunction, etc. But have you ever stopped and wondered how people develop high blood pressure? How do we treat diabetes? Or, what even is a thyroid? Whether you are a patient looking to expand your medical knowledge, a student wanting to brush up on frequent terms or a provider exploring different ways to explain diagnoses to your patients, I invite you to join me each week as we break down basic medicine into layman's terms.
