Outstanding guests, informed hosts. Tackle very important questions at the micro and macro crossroads where medicine meets society. I learn a lot.

Great insights on our healthcare system

Anybody who wants to learn about what is truly ailing our healthcare system needs to listen to this podcast. Michel and Anish do a great job showing what is jeopardizing the patient physician relationship. Entertaining and informative!

A little controversy is a good thing

The problem with most medical podcasts is that they’re dry. Most episodes of The Accad and Koka Report are at least somewhat controversial (at least to mainstream medicine). It makes for much better listening on the morning commute.

Finally, and interesting medical podcast

10/18/2018
Let’s face it—there are a LOT of medical podcasts out there, and most are unlistenable: narrow topics, boring hosts, unreasonable duration, etc. The Accad & Koka report is different. The hosts are opinionated and interesting, the topics are of interest to docs & laypeople alike, and the presentations are generally focused. As a physician, one would think that medical podcasts would be my catnip. True—but only good ones. This is one of them.

Amazing (true) side of healthcare

09/26/2018
This is amazing. An alternative and more accurate view on medicine which flies in the face of what we learn from academia, government, and of course, the BUCA cartel (third party payers).

These doctors are the forefront of an evolving healthcare system and they are leading the charge. If you are looking to be informed about healthcare from the perspective of healthcare professionals, you should subscribe and listen.
