This week, Nik is joined by Dr Ben Lovell- twitter legend, an associate professor of medical education and a consultant in acute internal medicine at UCLH, where he is also the postgraduate lead for acute medicine.
They discuss the reboot of "Sex And The City", HBO series "And Just Like That..."
The conversation covers how even supportive parents and families can stumble as part of the journey of gender expression and identity of their loved one. They talk about pronouns, starting a brand new chapter later in life, television drama shorthand, and an infamous final scene on an exercise bike!
All that , plus the usual look at the medical news headlines and the week in daytime TV.

This week Nik is joined by Clare Bullen the Head of Clinical Services for England, Wales and Northern Ireland at Child Bereavement UK. They discuss the new screen adaptation of Matt Haig's book "A Boy Called Christmas' which deals with child bereavement.
How do we talk to children and young people when a parent or loved one has died? How do we find the words to help them to process what’s happened and continue to grow as a person in the future? They talk about the importance of the truth, encouraging children to ask questions, and brave conversations...
There's also the usual look at the week's medical news headlines and the week in daytime TV.

Boggled Docs is the new podcast for GP’s and other primary care professionals that takes the pulse of the nation by looking to the medical media and uses that information as a springboard to help you target your CPD.
In each episode we’ll look at the general picture of what’s going on in the newspaper health pages, daytime TV, online and even radio if it’s relevant. Nothing’s off limits and some of the big TV dramas will get a look in too. We’ll also take some time to chat to a fellow medical colleague about a featured programme in more detail.

Jill, Ritchie, Colin, Roscoe, Ash and Gregory had such an impact on everyone who watched, that we couldn't just cover the first 2 epsiodes. This week Dr Rageshri Dhairyawan and Dr Rex Melville are back to talk about the final 3 episodes of 'It's A Sin'.
We've had several messages from people sharing their experiences of what it was like caring for patients with HIV and AIDS back in the 80s and 90s- we've put them together into a montage for you to hear- it's a very powerful listen.
As always we have some recent medical news headlines and the week in daytime TV.
