About Marked Medicine

From the publisher's feed

As healthcare providers, we believe it is important to empower our patients with knowledge and treat them as if they are members of our own family. We feel it is important to work together and with other professionals to raise awareness about medical topics. This podcast is a place for everyone to learn through fascinating medical stories that are educational, informational, and entertaining. The stories told are meant to educate and not disturb. Some of the stories are very serious and deep, and others will be much lighter and informative. This information will help healthcare providers deliver excellent patient care by teaching them to first and foremost treat each patient as if they are a member of their own family, and by diving deep into medical topics and discussing the various aspects of diagnosis and treatment.
