About This Podcast
Healthcare is complicated. Not just the science — the experience of it. The waiting rooms, the diagnoses you don't fully understand, the moments where you leave an appointment with more questions than answers. The things providers see every day that never make it past the exam room door.
Scrub Talk is the after visit summary you actually need. Every episode, host Dominick Ramos dives into the healthcare system — slowing down, asking harder questions, and looking for what keeps getting lost: the humanity underneath the mess. The premise is simple, but uncomfortable: the system is breaking patients, providers, and institutions simultaneously, making them blame each other instead of examining the structure. Scrub Talk refuses to let that happen.
From AI and emerging technology to disparities, leadership, and the future of medicine itself — we unpack the science, the myths, and the perspectives that shape the culture of medicine. Nothing is off limits. Just honest, compassionate conversation about a system that touches all our lives.
Hosted by Dominick Ramos — medical assistant, student, and future physician who still believes medicine can be what it was meant to be.
