The Doc Talk Podcast
Dr. Shazma Mithani and Dr. Sheila Wijayasinghe have spent years navigating the health care system. Not just as doctors for their patients, but as moms for their kids, and patients themselves. And they know it's not always straightforward.
Every two weeks they'll take a real question from a real patient, and provide in-depth answers with a clear path to action, with help from other trusted experts.
No jargon. No time wasted. Just real talk about real issues from two doctors who've seen it all. And they'll give you the inside scoop on how to navigate the health care system like a pro.
This is The Doc Talk.

The Doc Talk × The Pitt Recap: Episodes 2 & 3
We’re back with our parallel season of The Doc Talk Podcast, where we recap Season 1 of The Pitt, the medical drama we can’t stop talking about.
This week’s a double-header: Episodes 2 and 3. The pace slows down but the stories hit hard: an opioid overdose that shook us, a trainee’s first patient death, tough family battles over advanced directives, and a raw look at racism in medicine.
We’ve also added Teaching Corners with real take-home tips, like why it’s so important to talk about care wishes early and how Narcan can save a life.
And of course, we wrap up with our MVPs, most relatable moments, and medical gold stars as we count down to Season 2, dropping January 2026.
