Welcome to the Episod - 15 of the podcast

When an ENT surgeon seamlessly moves between the worlds of comedy, innovation, and intensive care, the result is far from ordinary. In this Doctor’s Day special of Rebooting the Brain, Dr. Jagdish Chaturvedi—ENT specialist, stand-up comedian, author, and medical innovator—joins Dr. Sharan Srinivasan for an unfiltered conversation on what it truly means to be a doctor today. Through humour and honesty, Dr. Jagdish shares his unconventional journey, from rural diagnostics to viral sketches, and from operation theatres to startup labs. But beneath the laughs, this episode confronts serious issues: the growing violence against doctors, emotional exhaustion, the harsh realities faced by foreign medical graduates, and the evolving expectations from Indian healthcare professionals. They also explore how social media is changing the way doctors communicate, educate, and sometimes even get misunderstood. This is the story of a doctor who refuses to be boxed in—redefining roles, breaking norms, and staying deeply human in the process.
