Doctor creates a new health podcast

In this context and with the aim of creating a space where medical and health issues can be discussed in an entertaining, informative and simple way, Viral Medicine emerges, the podcast hosted by the Doctor Vic.
“During my medical career, I realized that the lack of information on health issues is closely related to the worsening of diseases. Broadly speaking, there are people who do not know basic issues to take care of their body and this makes it impossible for them to detect disorders or anomalies in time”.
And it is that according to the doctor, many diseases that become complicated and require more invasive and expensive treatments could have been prevented or obtained a simpler treatment.
A different way of talking about health
From all of the above, the first season of Medicine Viral. Its first season consists of 9 chapters. Every Sunday a new episode is released through its YouTube channel and on the main podcast platforms.

In this first installment, it will have the participation of different special guests, who in the company of Doctor Vic, will address topics such as alcoholism, thanatology, genetics, surgeries, processes that public figures have gone through and trends in medicine. All through a simple and entertaining way.
