Description

Two of the happiest surgeon dropouts you’ll ever meet, Tony Chin-Quee, MD and Frances Mei Hardin, MD, have traded the OR for the mic. On Social Rounds, they give their wildly unsolicited opinions on the state of medicine, the absurdities of healthcare culture, and the chaos of the world at large. From inside-baseball medical news to pop culture drama, space doctors to Taylor Swift, no topic is too sacred (or too ridiculous) to roast, dissect, and laugh about. Smart, irreverent, and occasionally unhinged, Social Rounds is what happens when surgeons leave the scalpel behind and decide to say everything out loud.
