Customer Reviews
Excited Delirium
First time listener to the podcast. Like the in depth analysis. E D seems like a very convenient entity/excuse for police to use that in their report (BTW How can a human exhibit “superhuman” qualities?) If that is really a “thing,” if a person were to be exhibiting that behavior, and the police did not intervene (i.e) put a knee on the person’s neck, would the person still have died?
Excellent topics
Met Dr Milne personally at a conference this week- he is so so personable and intelligent. What a gem and wealth of knowledge!!
The Evidence Behind the Guidelines
As a recently graduated medical student, I’m always looking for materials to explain the “why” behind the guidelines and other clinical decisions that were not very clear before. On top of that, you guys are actually fun to listen to!
