Dr. Louise Newson

Today on my podcast, I've got Dr. Harpreet Sood, who is a UK and US trained doctor, and he currently works in both London and Dubai.

We talk about the global health problem of not being well for long enough, about how we can personalize medicine and how, of course, we can have hormones in our everyday consultations and helping people make the right choices for their future health.

So Hartford, you're in the studio.

I've dragged you in at short notice because you're over from Dubai for a short period of time, but you're UK trained.

I've known you on and off for a few years, but I feel like I'm getting to know you a bit more and you're getting to know the work that I do a bit more, which is great.

But we're both GPs.

We're both really keen in keeping our patients as healthy as possible.

But just tell me a bit about your background, if that's okay.

I do remember her.

She's great.

It's really hard, isn't it?

Because we've been trained in probably a similar way.

We've been trained to diagnose a disease, think about the treatment pathway, but it's almost waiting for the accident to happen, isn't it?

And, you know, I'm sure you have as well.

I've worked in some really busy jobs in really deprived area where you just feel like you're firefighting the whole time.

You're just personally trying to get through that shift, especially working in hospital.

But also for the patient, you're literally just going from one disaster to the other.

And if you work in a hospital long enough, you'll see the people coming back and back and back.

And it is that cycle of, you know, someone's maybe got an asthma attack, then they have a chest infection, then they maybe have a clot or then they have osteoporosis.

You know, you just see it in families, don't you?
