We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Mike Todorovic, friend of The Curious Clinicians, renowned online educator who makes complex concepts in physiology, biophysics and pharmacology more accessible for students and clinicians alike, back to the podcast! Along with his partner Dr. Matt Barton, Dr. Mike has written a new book: The Body A-Z: A fun, fascinating and family-friendly manual for the most important thing you own.
This amazing book is a must-read for anyone who wants to learn more about the wonders and mysteries and quirks of the human body.
On this episode, we discussed 3 fascinating questions (of many) that Dr. Matt and Dr. Mike tackle in the book:
- Why might riding a bike be easier for someone with Parkinson’s Disease than buttoning a shirt?
- Why do we hiccup?
- Why does rigor mortis follow shortly after death?
