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.

Chest Pain & a Critical Decision: Our Most Memorable Case Yet
In this episode, Ben and I discuss a high-stakes Same Day Emergency Care Case—a patient presenting with chest pain and the critical decision I made that could have led to devastating consequences.
This case has stayed with me, and we break down the challenges of clinical decision-making, the weight of responsibility in acute care, and the moments that shape us as medical professionals.
Join us for an in-depth discussion on chest pain assessment, missed diagnoses, and the tough calls that define a career in medicine.
