The Junior Doctor Series Podcast - The Unspoken Truth

Dr. Kirtee Koushi Conhyedoss goes by Koushi, and the podcast they've built lives up to its subtitle. The Unspoken Truth is exactly what this show delivers: raw, vulnerable conversations about the parts of medicine that stay bottled up. Across 43 monthly episodes, Koushi creates space for healthcare professionals to talk about patient death, workplace bullying, racism in clinical settings, and the emotional weight of cases that follow you home. Episode 41 is particularly striking, exploring the cases that haunt clinicians long after the shift ends. Another features a 28-year Navy medicine veteran reflecting on a career most people can barely imagine. The format relies on extended, multi-part conversations rather than quick takes. That means episodes can run long, but the depth rewards patience. Koushi's interviewing style is gentle and probing, allowing guests to sit with difficult feelings instead of rushing past them. This isn't a clinical education podcast. It's about the human cost of practising medicine and what happens when doctors are finally given permission to be honest about it. The show touches on parenting during deployment, navigating loss, and the cultural dynamics within nursing and medical teams. For junior doctors who feel isolated in their struggles or wonder if anyone else is carrying the same weight, hearing these conversations can be genuinely reassuring. It normalizes the hard parts without pretending they're easy.
