Best colorectal podcast

Would recommend to my friend and family. Excellent content and really appreciate learning about the surgeons on a personal level that makes this podcast more relatable. The wide breath of speakers is great to contrast different types of practices.

Hope DCR can take a step towards this more personal podcast.

Anal sex instructions?

The episode with Goldstone started off pertinent. Somehow the transition was made on how to properly have anal sex- none of which was medically relevant and is a joke to the profession. I was alone in my car and was cringing .
