Author: Doctor Podcast Network June 24, 2021 Duration: 1:08:45

Let's talk “Herd Immunity”. Not the cow kind of herd… think posse, gaggle, squad, or mass …. The Cambridge English Dictionary definition for a whole lot of people! We are diving into the specifics on Covid infection and herd immunity. Hear how we have reached herd immunity long ago in the USA and how the current push is more focused on vaccination rates.

Tired of the same old medical talk that feels disconnected from real life? BS Free MD with Drs. May and Tim Hindmarsh offers something different. This is a conversation between two practicing physicians who are also partners, blending their professional expertise with personal experience. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair at their kitchen table, where discussions about healthcare, medical history, and philosophy are grounded in the realities of life, family, and the daily grind of being a doctor. You'll hear honest reflections on the system, stories from the front lines that you won't find in textbooks, and a genuine look at how medicine intersects with everything else.
