In this episode, Martin speaks to Dom Pimenta, a cardiologist and writer who resigned in protest at Dominic Cummings’ rule-breaking trip to Durham in 2020. He wrote juniordoctorblog.com for years, and his latest book Duty of Care recounts his experiences during the COVID pandemic. He talks to Martin about high-functioning anxiety, establishing a charity to support health workers, the role of AI in the future of medicine, and how his career as an author began at a very young age, with a book about ants.

Trigger warning: mentions of COVID-related death and bereavement.
