This piece looks at our recent archive and pieces together the story of our Editor in Chief, Monty Mythen's bout of COVID 19. From the start TopMedTalk was keen to reflect the global battle against this terrible virus and - as you will hear - concerns for our friends and contributors in the medical world was never far from our minds.

In retrospect it is particularly interesting listening to how evidence and best practice were in this instance vital to the health of our team and the people they care about.

Presented by Nick Margerrison, this is part one of a two part series.

The clips used in this piece are taken from fuller conversations which you can hear here:
