Home of Medicine with Dr Amie Burbridge and Dr Ben Lovell
Welcome to the Home of Medicine podcast with Dr Amie Burbridge and Dr Ben Lovell, in association with the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh.
Each episode explores real clinical cases, with a special focus on how cognitive biases shape our medical decision-making.
We created Home of Medicine to share the highs and lows of life in the medical profession, but above all, to bring connection, insight and joy.

Home of Medicine with Dr Amie Burbridge and Dr Ben Lovell
Foot drop - Again ?!
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Ben and I are back with another case of foot drop, yet with a very different history and diagnosis.
Ben tests my neurology skills (again), and I flounder (again).
We reflect on diagnostic momentum and confirmation bias and how this may affect a patient's journey in hospital.
