  • The Misunderstood Medical Realties of Herpes
    Mar 3 2026

    Waking up with a tingling sensation or a small sore can cause immediate panic, leading many to fear that their dating life and future are completely ruined. But does a herpes diagnosis actually match the emotional stigma?In this episode, we break down the medical reality of the Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV1 and HSV2) to help dispel the fear and anxiety surrounding it. We discuss why herpes is incredibly common, the early warning signs to look out for—such as tingling, nerve pain, or flu-like symptoms—before blisters even appear, and how the virus behaves by hiding in your nervous system. While there is currently no cure, you'll learn about highly effective antiviral treatments that heal outbreaks faster, reduce pain, and drastically lower the risk of passing the virus to a partner. Tune in to understand why herpes is simply a manageable skin condition—not a dangerous disease—and why it doesn't define your value or your relationships

  • Why The UK Keeps Running Out Of Medicines? (Truth About NHS Drug Shortages)
    Oct 10 2025

    A patient lying in a hospital bed waiting for an antibiotic that’s out of stock — this is becoming the new normal across the NHS. In this video, I uncover the truth behind the growing medicine shortages in the UK and why even basic drugs like penicillin, insulin, ADHD medication, and HRT are disappearing from pharmacy shelves. I explain how global supply chain issues, Brexit, and the NHS’s relentless push for low drug prices have turned what used to be rare disruptions into everyday crises. With shortages now tripling in just four years, I share real stories from the frontlines — pharmacists, doctors, and patients all struggling in a system built on fragility.From pharmaceutical manufacturing in India and China to the impact of COVID-19, currency collapse, and Brexit border delays, this video explores why Britain keeps running out of essential medicines and what that means for patient safety. I also discuss what needs to change — from reforming NHS drug pricing to investing in UK-based medicine production and improving supply chain resilience. If you care about the future of healthcare, NHS reform, and ensuring patients never go without life-saving medicines again, this is a must-watch.

  • Why Are Nurses & Doctors Burning Out In The UK?
    Oct 4 2025

    Why are doctors and nurses burning out in the NHS? In this episode of my Dose of Health podcast, I explore the reality behind the word burnout. It isn’t about weakness or laziness — it’s about a healthcare system that keeps asking staff to do the impossible with broken tools, endless bureaucracy, and too few resources. From junior doctors logging back in after night shifts, to nurses skipping meals just to keep up, and GPs drowning under hundreds of test results before 8am — this is the daily reality of the NHS workforce in 2025.I take a closer look at the latest NHS staff survey, pay erosion, understaffing, rising waiting lists, and IT systems that waste hours of clinical time. But most importantly, I show why healthcare professionals are not burning out because they’re weak — they’re burning out because they’re strong enough to keep going in a system designed to break them. If you care about the future of the NHS, or simply want to understand the crisis facing the people who care for us, this episode is essential.👉 Don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe to my channel to support this movement and help more people hear the truth about what’s happening inside our NHS.

  • AI Girlfriends, Grandmas, and Therapists – What’s Going On? (Deen Somally)
    Sep 26 2025
    AI companions are here—friends, lovers, and even therapists that listen 24/7. In this Dose of Health podcast, Abhishek (hospital pharmacist) and Deen Somally unpack the loneliness epidemic, why millions are turning to AI chatbots like Character AI and Replika, and where AI companionship, AI girlfriends/boyfriends, and synthetic intimacy help—or harm—human connection. We explore AI therapist vs human therapist debates, CBT and AI, AI in psychiatry, and how healthcare AI could reduce NHS mental health waiting lists (UK) through on-demand 24/7 support, accessibility, and affordability—while tackling stigma and men’s mental health. We also dig into parasocial relationships, social-media echo chambers and polarization, AI and teens (Gen Z/Gen Alpha), and the ethics behind it all: AI ethics, AI safety, AI regulation, age verification, safeguarding online, elder safety online, and the rising risk of AI scams.From playful “AI grandma” role-play to real clinical use cases, we ask: Are chatbots filling a gap or replacing real relationships? What safeguards should exist for kids and older adults? And when should you choose a human over a bot? If you care about mental health tech, online therapy, and the future of care, this episode is for you. Watch, then drop your take: Would you trust an AI therapist?

  • Microsoft’s “AI Doctor” Explained—Revolution or Hype? (Deen Somally)
    Sep 19 2025
    In this episode of Dose of Health, Abhishek and Deen break down the rise of the AI doctor—from Microsoft’s multi-agent diagnostic system (MAIDXO) that reportedly hit 85% accuracy on complex NEJM case records vs 20% for human doctors (internal testing), to Google’s Med-Gemma and the open-source wave transforming medical AI. We unpack how reasoning models, orchestrator agents, and MDT-style “five-brain” setups can ask smarter questions, order only the right tests, cut bundle waste, and potentially save health systems millions. We also dig into misdiagnosis, healthcare costs, NHS “doctor in your pocket”, and what “AI in healthcare 2025” really means for patients and clinicians.Beyond hype, we debate limits: hallucinations, study caveats, ethics, and the irreplaceable human core—empathy, values, and consent. From global health (democratising expertise to Africa and beyond) to antibiotic stewardship and triage in real clinics, we ask: will AI replace doctors or supercharge them? If you care about medical diagnostics, clinical decision support, medical imaging AI, LLMs, and the future of primary care, this one’s for you.Chapters:00:00 Intro02:45 AI in Healthcare: The Big Revolution 03:45 Microsoft’s AI Doctor: MAIDXO Explained06:30 How AI Outperforms Human Doctors17:32 Cost, Efficiency, and the Future of Medical Testing 25:20 Democratizing Healthcare: Global Impact of AI 37:42 Google’s MedGemma & Open Source AI in Medicine 44:41 Will AI Replace Human Doctors?
