Season 3, Episode 3: House and Holmes
Fri Feb 06 2026
Among the many reasons I chose the specialty of medical oncology is that cancer can present anywhere in the body, manifest any symptom, affect anyone, and its clinical course often presents conundrums for our inner Sherlock Holmes or Dr. House. “The Weekly Check-Up” radio show launched the year I retired from my clinical practice. I didn't realize how important a role it would play in my continued sanity as I navigated the next phase of my professional career. Like my cancer practice, “The Weekly Check-Up” callers cover the entirety of human anatomy and physiology, and there is always a puzzle to solve. This episode features a diverse set of topics that keep the radio show and these podcasts both entertaining and informative. - Dr. Bruce Feinberg, host of “The Weekly Check-Up Podcast.”
