The Referral... With Dr Karan is a weekly focus on health-in-the-news (eg. Doctors on strike), awkward topics you might not want to discuss with your mum (S-E-X), and myth busting (eg. ‘Masturbation ruins sex with your partner’); interweaving fascinating stories about scientific discovery and the real-life impacts.
