Medical Mysteries

We trust doctors with our lives; they are some of the most educated and well-respected members of society. But what happens if they can't diagnose a patient? This high stake medical procedural follows patients as they suffer from bizarre, often terrifying illnesses. None of which doctors learned about in medical school. Medical Mysteries is a Spotify Original from Parcast.

Not much medical info

It seem to me just a host talking about herself. Kinda boring.
Sunshine 2343

Fun and engaging

It’s a fun podcast but I will admit that the dule voices confuse me and they both sound like computer or AI,in my opinion I also hear some of the same stories on Mr Ballen podcast also named medical mystery’s.

Cute, but odd

Interesting stories told with lots of detail. Two confusing points: 1) the narrators sound computerized. And 2) some of the scientific terminology is incorrectly used (such as talking about “viral cells” - viruses aren’t cells - or pronouncing terms unusually.) Is this AI generated? Pretty good if so, but maybe add a little more technically savvy human editing.

Good show

Good show but why does the woman narrator sound like Mary Alice from desperate housewives??

Not Quite Right

The voices of the narrators are curiously unnatural
Krazybabe

Great idea but..

I love the idea of this but the execution needs work. The stories are dragged out to fill up time and the woman’s voice is like listening to Thurston Howell lll.

Narration

Hate the dual narration. The male narrator should be doing the podcast on his own.
Kps1999

Dull

Making otherwise interesting stories dull. Sounds like it is read by AI. I mean, it’s probably not, but it sure sounds like impersonal computer voices

epstein-barr “virus” isn’t a bacteria

Getting a basic fact wrong [viruses are not bacteria, and antibiotics don’t treat viruses] leads me to doubt veracity of the entire show. I can understand misspeaking in a live fast-paced broadcast, but fact-checking in an edited podcast is a basic and essential aspect of a show that is supposed to present scientifically factual material.

Just found you

I love the spectral phenomenon topics.

Boring

Couldn’t make it through the first episode

Myasthenia Gravis

My grandfather had a pretty bad case of Myasthenia Gravis, so being able to learn more about his illness makes me feel a bit better about the whole situation. He actually died around 2020 when Covid started so I wasn’t able to visit him because of that. Right after he died it seems that they found out a way for treatment for people with Myasthenia Gravis. This in turn saved his brother, who also had the condition. Sorry for the long story, I just felt the need to vent a little I guess. Anyway, thank you for covering these sorts of things. ‘:]

Interesting 🔥

Find it very interesting and fun to listen to!

Great podcast

Good reporting. They help break down complicated medical ideas for laymen and weave a story that grabs your interest. Well done.
