About This Podcast

A nurse and a doctor walk into a lab... is hosted by Holly Sims and Bhuchitra Singh, two best friends who are sometimes qualified to discuss the latest topics in health care.


We will release two episodes each month, one of which will feature a guest – including experts in the field of medicine and research – for the times when we realize that our expertise on a topic is no better than an encyclopedia entry.

In each episode we aim to provide you with some new information and perspectives on the topic. If not, we hope you are entertained by the often-humorous, sometimes-ridiculous banter of two friends – a nurse and a doctor who share a love of medicine, research, and people.
