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 12 & 13
In this recap, we dive into The Pitt’s intense two-hour mass-casualty arc, episodes that capture the overwhelming pace, emotional weight, and coordinated chaos of real emergency medicine.
We break down what mass casualty incidents look like inside a hospital, how ten-second triage works, why ABCs matter more than anything in crisis, and what the show gets right (and wrong) about resource strain, massive transfusion protocols, and provider burnout. We also talk about the emotional aftermath for teams and the ethics behind scarce resources.
A Quick Reminder
The Doc Talk is for general information only. It’s not medical advice — even though we are doctors, we’re not your doctor. Always speak to your own healthcare provider for personal care.
