Medicine isn’t a straight road, it’s a roundabout, full of unexpected exits and surprising detours. The First Cut explores those twists and turns, the discoveries that change the way we see the world, and the conversations that remind us medicine is really about people, not just diseases. Along the way, we meet those who challenge assumptions, reveal hidden truths, and show that the human side of medicine is as complex, inspiring, and unpredictable as the science itself.

  • Dr Matt Barrett, MedEd Innovator and Study Architect
    Oct 24 2025

    I sat down with Dr. Matt Barrett, a doctor and educator who has turned medical education into its own kind of creative career through his platform, Study Smarter Medicine. I was fascinated hearing how his journey from medical student to innovator reshaped not only how he learns and teaches, but also how med ed itself can be a space to invent, experiment, and thrive.

    We get into AI, learning frameworks, and the delicate art of balancing medical practice with personal growth. This episode is a candid and clever exploration of ambition, resilience, and the many unexpected directions medical education can take.

    Oh, and don’t forget to check out his Never Forget series, it’s like the ultimate brain hack for med students, so go have a look before your next coffee break!

  • Orthopaedic surgeon and musician
    Jul 9 2025

    Baijaeek Sain is an orthopaedic surgeon and a trained Indian classical musician. He’s managed to stay rooted in both disciplines, not by forcing balance, but by letting each side shape the other.

    In this episode, he shares how he’s kept music alive alongside medicine, how the two worlds overlap more than you’d think, and what it means to stay connected to the things that make you feel most like yourself.
