What Your GP Doesn’t Tell You

Finalist in the recent 2024 Independent Podcast Awards, this fortnightly podcast reveals the stories from the world of medicine that others don’t, won’t or only very partially report. Aimed at both doctors and the public, it’s hosted by award winning medical journalist and former BBC producer Liz Tucker, who reports not just on the science but on the finance and money that can impact it. Liz asks what does the medical data actually tell us and why is this often interpreted and presented very differently? How do we know what information to trust and when should we ask our GP, but what’s the evidence?Follow Liz on Twitter at @lizctuckerAnd on Substack on https://liztucker.substack.comPodcast Website: https://www.whatyourgpdoesnttellyou.com/

The best podcast I didn’t know I needed

This podcast is incredible. Liz Tucker is not only incredibly smart, she is well researched and asks intelligent, insightful, and honest questions. The experts seem carefully chosen for both their niche expertise and also for things that should be better known! I don’t know how she is able to wade through the noise of the internet to zero in on the most important and least discussed topics of our health but I am incredibly grateful. Thank you for all your hard work Liz, I know that I tell all the people in my life to listen to you!

Always enlightening

Ms. Tucker is a consummate interviewer. She takes the time to formulate relevant and insightful questions about the topic she’s covering, and never fails to elucidate. The characteristic of her program that I appreciate most is how the conversation never falls into “ELI5” territory, because you know what? I’m not 5. I’m an adult who appreciates a conversation with other adults.

Essential listening for anyone interested in an alternative opinion from the status quo by those revered in the medical world..

Pioneering and informed

Most of the media has been way behind the curve in criticizing medicine. Host Liz Tucker steps into the breach by holding conversations with prominent critics of medicine. The first episode with guest Joanna Moncrieff is timely, adding color to her much-discussed review of the serotonin hypothesis. Hoping that this launches many more conversations among the public, in other media, and among physicians themselves. If medicine will come off its pedestal and become more open to criticism, it could lead to greater trust in physicians and fewer scandals.

Eye opening, thank you

I’ve been on and off gabapentin for nerve pain associated with ruptured and/or herniated discs and if it’s helped, it’s been nominal…but am trying it again in search of relief. (And to avoid long term opioid usage.) This was fascinating and disturbing. The lack of governance and transparency in off label drug prescriptions is unbelievable.
