Doctors keep talking about whether AI will replace us but many also seem to be actively encouraging it, by practicing medicine in a way that will allow machines to seamlessly take our places. The loser in all of this is clear: the patient. And by extension, we all lose.

Medical science communication has a big problem and I don't really know what to do about it. Health information is stuck in a debunk slop era. More Medlife Crisis

I can fight the algorithmic forces no longer: I am becoming an INFLUENCER. And what other way to start my #journey than with a Get Ready With Me. In which I answer some excellent questions posed by the next generation of doctors. I'm trying to both be down with the kids and the wise old owl at the same time. Let's see if I can pull it off (and I don't mean my beard).

Wearable devices are often framed as offering you untold insights into your health, but I think they could actually have a far bigger impact – and it's one I don't hear people talk about. My next video is already on Nebula, you can find it here

Another tragic case of a fit young professional sportsperson unexpectedly dying during a match occurred recently as Quevin Castro collapsed in August 2026. When reading comments under an article about him, I realised that people believe the (very natural) idea that screening everyone, in a more aggressive manner, must be a good thing to do. And this has striking parallels to the medical messaging we all receive online these days, that more medical testing must be a good idea.

YOU asked for this. YOU wanted more M.C. MCing, so here it is. You only have yourself to blame. With sincere apologies and gratitude to Blackalicious and their 1999 all-time classic 'Alphabet Aerobics' Equally big thanks to the team at Nebula Studios for the backing track and mixing down the audio to make me sound vaguely passable as my alter ego, Cardio B

When the worst thing imaginable happens during a medical procedure or intervention, what happens next? I decided to make this video after learning about a tragic case of a young boy who lost his life. Many mistakes were made, based on the coroner's report, but the learning points and the focus of media coverage seems to be at odds with my interpretation of the case.

If a doctor gets a kick out of all the myriad things that can go wrong in the body, does that make them a good student of their craft, or a bit sick in the head? Or both? I don't mean doctors want their patients to be unwell (no matter what wellness podcasters and antivaxxers claim), but should a doctor be thrilled by the actual process of performing surgery on a patient, or entranced by seeing horrific pathology in action?

I, and other cardiologists, are noticing an uptick in middle aged men having heart attacks on testosterone therapy. To reiterate the same message I hope I made clear in the video – this is anecdotal, the lowest level of evidence. I simply want to alert people to this possibility and hopefully someone much cleverer than me can look into this properly.

Does prostate cancer screening actually work? A huge study, probably the best in the field, has published its 23 year data this week and I thought I’d quickly talk about what it showed as, rather typically, the media and even social media doctors, once again demonstrate they cannot interpret scientific papers
