The Referral with Dr. Karan
Ever wondered why it’s more difficult for women to orgasm? What AI is teaching us about medicine, or why erectile dysfunction exists? Are there superfoods and what are the health signs you should never ignore ...If so, this is the podcast for you.
The Referral... With Dr Karan is a weekly focus on health-in-the-news (eg. Doctors on strike), awkward topics you might not want to discuss with your mum (S-E-X), and myth busting (eg. ‘Masturbation ruins sex with your partner’); interweaving fascinating stories about scientific discovery and the real-life impacts.
Dr Karan Raj is a working doctor in the NHS, a social media sensation plus he’s a fun-fact machine (the kind that might change your life). The podcast will feature guests from doctors to scientists to brilliant story tellers we’ll leave every episode informed, educated and impassioned.
