We’re dusting off one of our all-time favorites for a second round—because some stories are just too good (and too ridiculous) not to revisit.

In this rerun of Episode 16, we kicked off our “Doctor as Patient” series with a cocktail in hand and zero shame. This one’s all about those moments where we, the docs, became the patients—and let's just say, we weren’t winning any awards for grace or logic.

🚑 Tim went full tough guy mode and ended up on an extended “staycation” in the hospital—featuring morphine on tap and baseball on the screen.

👶 We also relive our first childbirth experience—aka May’s full-blown endurance event while Tim wrestled with whether to wear his doctor hat or his dad hat.

🍇 And in classic Doctales style, we cracked open a bottle of 44 North Huckleberry Vodka (nope, still not a sponsor—but we're ready when you are).

Grab your favorite drink and enjoy this rerun that’s equal parts hilarious, humbling, and heartwarming. Cheers to Episode 16—still one of the greats! 🥂

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. The Doctor Podcast Network brings you this unique perspective, where the dialogue is as engaging as it is insightful. It’s a space for anyone curious about the human side of medicine-patients and professionals alike. This podcast doesn’t shy away from complex topics, but it approaches them with a warmth and authenticity that makes even the heaviest subjects feel accessible. Expect candid stories, occasional tangents into culture and society, and the shared wisdom of two people who see the world through both a stethoscope and a shared life. Tune in for a genuinely fresh take.
