The long version. Read it once, behave accordingly.

Educational Purpose Only

Against Medical Advice is an independent educational media project created by two Emergency Medicine physicians. All content — including podcast episodes, blog posts, educational videos, and social media — is produced for informational and educational purposes only.

Not Medical Advice

Nothing on this platform constitutes medical advice, clinical guidance, or a substitute for professional medical judgment. No doctor-patient relationship is formed by consuming any content on this platform. Clinical decisions should always be made in consultation with a qualified, licensed healthcare provider who has direct knowledge of the patient's situation.

Hosts' Views Are Their Own

The hosts are licensed physicians, but their opinions expressed here are their own and do not represent their employers, residency training programs, hospitals, or any affiliated institutions.

Knowledge Evolves

Medical knowledge evolves rapidly. Content may not reflect the most current evidence or guidelines at the time of viewing. Always verify clinical information against current sources before applying it clinically.

Case Anonymization

Every case discussed on the show is anonymized to protect patient privacy. Identifying details — including patient demographics, dates, locations, hospital affiliations, and clinical specifics that would allow identification — are altered or omitted. Cases may be composites of multiple presentations. If you believe a case resembles a real situation you were involved in, contact us and we will review.

Listener-Submitted Content

When listeners submit stories, we anonymize before publication and confirm the anonymized version with the submitter prior to airing. By submitting a story, you grant Against Medical Advice a non-exclusive license to use the anonymized version in audio, video, and written content across our platforms.

Sponsorship & Conflicts of Interest

Sponsored segments are disclosed explicitly at the start of any episode containing them. Clinical recommendations on the show are never influenced by sponsors. Conflicts of interest, when present, are disclosed at the start of the relevant segment.

Liability

Against Medical Advice, its hosts, and any contributors are not liable for any decisions, actions, or outcomes resulting from listener interpretation of the content. Use of this content is at your own risk and discretion.
