Hi Everyone! Welcome to our first podcast, we are so excited to be starting this podcast and sharing information with you! Our first episode (this is part 1) is on the recent developments of the coronavirus situation in the United Kingdom. Our next episode (part 2 of episode 1) will be on the coronavirus situation in the United States. We wanted to get a better understanding of the global situation, and thought that hearing from healthcare professionals in these two countries would be the perfect way to do just that. In this episode, we interviewed Dr. Divyesh Thakkar, a general practitioner in Northern London, and got his take on the whole scope of the COVID-19 situation in the United Kingdom. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed making it! If you have any suggestions or topics you would like to hear about in upcoming episodes, please feel free to leave them in the comments below or email them to us at megeshaan@gmail.com. We hope everyone is staying safe and healthy!

Hi Everyone! We wanted this month's episode to focus on National Month for Suicide Prevention. The purpose of this episode is not to provide our listeners with information/statistics about suicide and mental health, but also to provide insight on ways to help others. Mental health is such an important part of medicine and often overlooked. Nowadays, mental health is a big part of our lives and something that we all should take care of.
