Description

Are you a fan of The Doctor’s Brew? Are you curious about mental health in the Middle East? If so, this episode of the Doctor’s Brew may be perfect to tune in to with your morning brew.

In this special episode we reverse the roles and have a cup of coffee with the man behind the brew, Dr Abdulaziz Alkhayyat. With Dr. Bassam Almulla as the guest host, we explore how Dr. Abdulaziz came up with the idea for the Doctor’s Brew. But more than just an origin story of the podcast, this episode explores who the doctor/podcast-host truly is.

We explore his story as a doctor and his aspirations towards a career in psychiatry. We learn that his inspiration towards medical school was one inspired by philosophy and psychology. Whilst sharing his story, Dr. Alkhayyat offers his take on life outside of medicine, mental health in the Middle East, and the under-estimated role of young doctors and medical students.
