Evidence-based medicine meets dark humor — a cardiologist debunks health myths.
About this channel
Statistically less funny than placebo (p<0.05) Hello, I'm a consultant cardiologist and university researcher that makes science videos and bad jokes. Topics and analysis you won't find elsewhere, fortified with a government-mandated dose of humour, but ultimately clinically useless. There's a lot of bad science on YouTube, especially medicine, with quacks and clowns peddling garbage. I'm not saying I'm not one of them, I'm just stating a fact. Dr Rohin Francis NB - Please don't ask for medical advice as I cannot give any online. Nothing I say is medical advice. How do you even know I'm a doctor? I'm just a Large Language Model medical AI deemed too unsafe to be unleashed on real patients.
