Atypical Podcast With Amie Archibald-Varley

Tired of trying to "adult" perfectly? So am I! Welcome to ATYPICAL with Amie Archibald-Varley, your new favourite "lifecare" podcast, where we swap life hacks for life laughs. Let's be real, life's a wild ride with more twists and turns than a pretzel factory. It's time to ditch the pressure to have it all figured out and embrace the glorious, unpredictable adventure that is life. With life being full of uncertainties, the one constant is change. How do we bend, flex, pivot and still survive? From baffling breakthroughs to everyday blunders, Amie's got your back as we navigate this beautiful mess together, one quirky conversation at a time. Get ready for lighthearted chats, relatable stories, creativity in the arts and a whole lot of “oh snap!” moments that prove when life gets atypical, we can still find our stride (maybe even a giggle or two). Life isn’t typical—It’s AtYpICal!

The Intersection of Healthcare and Comedy: Two Gritty Nurses, a Doctor and a Comedian!

Apr 20, 2023

The Gritty Nurses decided to team up with another Canadian medical podcast duo, Doctor vs. Comedian, for this episode! Get ready for some lighthearted comedy!

 

Dr Asif Doja is a pediatric neurologist and Ali Hassan is a stand up comedian and actor (CBC‘s Laugh Out Loud, Designated Survivor, Goon) who are each fascinated by what the other one does. In each episode, Asif picks a topic for Ali from comedy and entertainment and questions Ali about it. Then Ali picks a topic from medicine and health and grills Asif on that subject. 

 

We discuss the hilarious story of how Asif and Ali met in smalltown East Coast Canada and created the podcast. How do they come up with their topics compared to Amie and Sara? They discuss stories of being people of colour in mainstream media, celebrities who are vocal about their health issues, their favourite episodes and the hottest topics in healthcare right now!
