This is not a podcast covering clinical content. Instead, the focus will be about being a podcast guest and recording your own podcasts. For that reason, it may not apply for you right now but if you are ever thinking about doing either, come back here. Speaking of, we are always looking for guests and if you are interested please contact us.

This is a special sort of "bonus" podcast where we discuss with David Fifer a topic that was brought up entirely for fun: the nocebo effect. Take a listen as we provide some real life examples of this phenomenon in action.
