What’s it really like being one of Britain’s most recognisable doctors?
In this episode of Beginning, Middle & End, Mo Gilligan sits down with TV doctor, GP, bestselling author and podcast host Dr Amir Khan for a funny, honest and eye-opening conversation about life inside and outside the consulting room.
From delivering shocking diagnoses and unexpected pregnancies to dealing with patients who stop him in garden centres for medical advice, Amir shares the stories they never teach you in medical school. He also opens up about growing up in Bradford, navigating NHS pressures, becoming a familiar face on television, and the reality behind modern healthcare.
Plus, the pair dive into social media health advice, ChatGPT diagnoses, why GP appointments feel impossible to get, and the surprising science behind nature’s impact on our mental and physical health.
