Gross Anatomy is hosted and created by Dr. Jason Cohen and Lauren Taylor. The purpose of the show is to address some of the medical questions Dr. Jason Cohen is asked by friends, family and often strangers with help from his non doctor co-host, Lauren Taylor. Lauren isn’t afraid to ask the questions people who didn’t go to medical school want to know. **GROSS ANATOMY IS NOT INTENDED TO BE A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL ADVICE, DIAGNOSIS, OR TREATMENT. ALWAYS SEEK THE ADVICE OF YOUR PHYSICIAN OR OTHER QUALIFIED HEALTH PROVIDER WITH ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE REGARDING A MEDICAL CONDITION.

Then, we get Bradley to reveal his favorite Peloton playlist!
We discuss surgeons…the bad, the unlicensed and the fictional. Including, a surgeon who performed a splenectomy and removed a patient's liver —not their spleen! And, a woman who suffered lidocaine toxicity under the care of a "doctor" who wasn't licensed to practice. Then, we take a 'which TV doctor are you?' quiz and discuss our results.
In Dissecting The Pitt Part Two, we examine the last eight episodes of the series. These episodes are full of drama and a little humor, including: A black widow bite, code triage alert, questionable blood bank, solid doctor jokes, and the finale!

We talk about the role of caregivers in entertainment, and discuss the reality of social services involvement in hospitals. Then, why we think the biggest Oscar snub of the 97th Academy Awards is…Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story. Our favorite doc of 2024 failed to secure a nomination, but we believe it's essential viewing. The film details how Reeves gave visibility to people living with disabilities and how he was able to move the research field forward. We get into all of this and more!
