After our initial intro to AML back in ep 79, we are back to dig deeper into AML this week, from pathophysiology through to treatment overview. The boys are joined by final year registrar Dr Georgina Calov who is here to cut through our nonsense and deliver some actual high yield content. And thank goodness for that, otherwise it'd be an hour of us making bad April Fool's day jokes.
