Michael Akadiri on the Value of Healthcare Workers

EP 266 - Michael is a junior doctor, multi-award winning comedian
and health commentator.


We discuss the current state of UK healthcare, the plight of NHS
workers, and how to improve working conditions. Michael tells us
about his double life as a junior doctor and comedian, best and
worst moments on stage and his long-term plans. He also explains
why feeling the need to perform at Edinburgh Fringe Festival
qualifies for the big bin of bullshit.
