Season 3 Episode 2

The boy's are back this week taking a closer look at heart stents—what they are, how they work, and why they save lives. We’ll walk through the journey from diagnosis to the cath lab, covering what patients can expect before the procedure, how stents are placed to restore blood flow, and what recovery looks like afterward. 

Whether you’re a patient, a loved one, or simply curious about modern heart care, this episode breaks down the science and the steps behind one of the most common—and lifesaving—cardiac procedures.

we follow Martin as he prepares for an upcoming brain scan to check for possible cancer. We talk through what a brain scan is, why it’s done, and what the experience is like from a patient’s perspective—from the emotions leading up to the appointment to the questions patients often have about results. 

There is also time for "Martins Joke of the week"

Listen FREE as always — and enjoy the banter!

This Season, we’re thrilled to stand alongside East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH) as our chosen charity. Their tireless dedication to supporting children and families in need is truly inspiring, and we’re excited to help raise awareness of their incredible mission.
