Hello and welcome to the Health Hits podcast.
The human body can only go wrong in a certain number of ways, and some of those ways are far more common than others.
In this series of podcasts we will explore those common problems we all could face, how they develop and how we can manage or treat them both at home and with the help of medicine or surgery.

Along the way we will encounter the unusual, the bizarre, as well as exploring medicine from the past and in the future.
