In terms of education, he’s a graduate of Harvard Medical School, UCLA, and also a Loma Linda Medical Center post-grad.Today's discussion is really cool because it gets away from the normal format of the show to focus on one topic specifically: medical kits.How should we think about the medical kits that we build, how should we pack them, what are common mistakes? Plus, for the last 25 min of the show, Dr. Guirguis critiques my medical bag and gives me considerations for improving it.
