Hi Nic and Art, It was a pleasure to meet you both at GPTEC in Sydney last week. I only wish I was aware of your podcast prior to meeting you. I have since listened to a few of your episodes and intend to make it a regular habit. I would also like to say I’m currently working on how we can incorporate more of your teaching clinical reasoning methods into our GP rotation in our Medical School here in Brisbane. We already to follow your ‘morning report’ style in our tutorials but I’d like to expand on this. Many… Read more »
Thanks Ben. We appreciate the feedback and support. Maybe we’ll see you at GPTEC 2018!
Hello Nic and Art I’m a pediatrician and pediatric dermatologist-skin surgeon at Mexico City. Also, I teach “clinical integration seminar” for 4th year medical students at the University that I work for and at a public hospital in my town. Your podcast has been very important in this teaching endeavor. In order to prepare to teach this seminar I searched for several resources in books and through the internet and then I found you. I listen to your podcast as I commute and I’ve suggested my students to listen to you and other podcasts and videocasts: EMCases for example. I… Read more »

Dear Art and Nic
I am a medical educator at James Cook university,involved with training GPs for most of regional Queensland. Your stuff is inspirational ; just the right balance of medicine,brain food and humour.I can’t make it to Melbourne next week,not sure about GPTEC,but am hoping you contact me if you are interested in coming to Cairns +/- Townsville sometime to talk to an audience of GP Medical educators and supervisors.
Dear Nick,
Thanks for your comments. I am sure Art and I would love to make it out to your part of the world for a talk or workshop. Its all about finding time. Is there a forum you had in mind that happens at a particular time? Let’s keep the channel open. imreasoning@gmail.com

Hello Art and Nic,
Here Portuguese medical student studying in the Netherlands. Your podcast is a breeze of fresh air in the medical podcasts community. Love the Stump the Chumps series! It has been one of the most useful podcasts to listen to until now. I have learned a lot. Episode with Gurpreet Dhaliwal was also incredible! Very inspiring person.
Keep up with the good work.
Cheers.
Thanks Pedro for you comments. More Stump the Chumps episodes in the works!
I am an infectious disease consultant in Seattle. I just listened to your podcast about NEJM clinical reasoning case. Loved the lively conversational format.
Great job.
Hi Art and Nic, What a fantastic podcast – thank you! I recently discovered your podcast through a network of medical professionals on Facebook and I’m so glad I did. I am a Psychiatrist over here in Australia but completed my basic medical training at Otago NZ. Listening to your podcast makes me feel more at home and I like that. So great to hear this important work going on there in Auckland and I hope the field of clinical reasoning is expanding across to other main centres of NZ now too. Although not a physician, I cannot tell you… Read more »
Hi Art and Nic. Thank you for an interesting and engaging podcast which I recently discovered when the word of it reached twitter and the FOAMed community there. I was especially pleased about the episode “Myths of the Clinical” exam as I had been thinking that a presentation of Bayesian statistics was missing in the podcast. When doing more rounds of Stump the Chumps an idea could be to more openly mention your gestalt probabilities for the Dx and discuss the likehood ratios for the different tests ordered to improve the reasoning about why this particular test is ordered. Too… Read more »
Hi Art and Nic, I have been listening to your podcast recently and I really love it. I am a last year medical student in Sweden and I am learning a lot and have gotten many new perspectives by listening to your episodes, which I am sure will help me become a better clinician in the future. I especially think your Stump the Chumps episodes are fantastic, it is so helpful to hear how experienced physicians reason about a case. I also find your interviews really great and interesting, I am just curious as to why you haven’t interviewed any… Read more »
Hi Hanna,
Thanks for writing to us. You brought up a great point that neither of us had ever noticed. We have not yet had any female physicians on the show! not a conscious decision, just a coincidence. So glad you are enjoying the podcast.
Art and Nic
Love the show guys. I listen to about 15 or 20 podcasts on a semi-regular basis, and you are one of my favorites (and easily my favorite medical one). I’ll be passing the word on to my colleagues/residents/students to listen.
Thanks,

Thanks for the feedback Nick. Glad you find the podcast helpful and we hope those you recommend us to will as well!
