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 4 & 5
In this double recap, we deep dive into The Pitt Episodes 4 and 5, two back-to-back hours in the ER that capture everything from humour to heartbreak.
We discuss the powerful storylines like end-of-life care and caregiver burnout, high-stakes emergencies like status epilepticus and post-tonsillectomy bleeds, and moments of levity that keep the team going, including Whittaker’s never-ending scrub changes.
This episode also features a Teaching Corner on reproductive care in Canada vs. the U.S., unpacking what abortion access actually looks like north of the border and highlighting trusted resources for patients seeking care and information.
Tune in for the chaos, compassion, and teaching moments that make The Pitt (and real-life medicine) so compelling.
