DDx

A young boy goes to urgent care, he’s fallen and his knee is swollen – likely a soft tissue trauma or at worst a minor joint bleed. He’s given a brace, told to rest. At follow up, everything is as expected – until a nurse reviews his chart and sees the child has hemophilia. We’re no longer talking about a minor joint bleed, we’re talking about a joint bleed, that, if left untreated, could lead to permanent damage.

A young man calls his doctor – he has hemophilia and joint pain – he knows what this is, he’s had it before: it’s a knee bleed. He’s given himself three doses of blood clotting factor, but it’s not working. When he arrives at the hemophilia treatment center, his care team takes a closer look – and what they find will change everything.

If you work in healthcare, you’ve felt it—that moment when communication breaks down. This season on DDx, we’re going inside hemophilia treatment centers—places where teamwork isn’t optional. It’s what holds everything together. You’ll hear stories from the people who do this work every day—how collaboration really works, what it looks like in real time, and how filling gaps in communication helps ensure patients get the care they deserve. Coming soon, season 12 of DDx.

A man walks into his doctor’s office with flu-like symptoms—and walks out with a lung cancer diagnosis. What happens next opens up a broader conversation about early detection, access to screening, and the clinical nuances of treating non-small cell lung cancer.
In this episode, Dr. Raj Bhardwaj brings you a candid discussion between oncologists Dr. Sanjay Juneja and Dr. Eric Singhi. They unpack a real patient case and explore the practical, diagnostic, and systemic challenges that shape lung cancer care today.
