Jorge gives us the low down on how he got in drawing comics and how that translated to mixing medicine and art. We discuss the smashing together of seemingly unrelated fields, and how big our professional crushes on ZDoggMD are.

“Don’t be afraid to be judged by your peers just because you’re presenting information in a different way.”
