“I was nervous, enthralled, overwhelmed and eager to start the new TV show. ”
Rogers TV wanted a medical show, but there were already too many medical shows and I did not want to be next Dr. Sanjay Gupta or the next Dr. OZ. It is not about marketing; it is about medicine.
In Ottawa, there was the famous Dr. Barry Dworkin who had an incredible show dealing with evidence based medicine. He taught people to critically think about the fantastic cures being touted by advertisers disguised as medical researchers. There was Dr. Peter Lin of CBC radio. The voice of medicine simplified with humour and panache every Wednesday morning. Of course, who can forgot the larger than life personality and medical documentaries of Dr. Brian Goldman. White Coat, Black Art is a staple in my life. These were mentors to emulate, but I wanted to do something different.
