Hello! My name is Robert, and I am a Junior Doctor in Dundee, Scotland, and this is The Patient Will See You Now podcast, where I give explanations to some diseases, and interview people who have them to spread awareness and share their personal journey.

Hi! My name is Robert, and I'm a Junior Doctor currently in Scotland. I am starting a podcast that I hope will be interesting and educational for everyone that's interested in medicine and people's personal lives. In this podcast, I hope to explain a certain disease in a way that's easy to understand for everyone, and then I interview people who have that specific disease. The goal of this podcast is to raise awareness to all of these diseases/disorders, to help people who might be freshly diagnosed or knows someone who is diagnosed with a specific disease and to learn more about what is going on at home, for medical personnel like doctors and nurses and others to see what life is like for these patients at home, and for me as a nice review. I hope this becomes something bigger, but for now, I am just having fun with it learning about other people and their journey at home.
