A video podcast from the surgeon side of medicine
Rounds
A video podcast with a neurosurgeon, an ENT surgeon, and the questions patients actually ask.
Two surgeon brothers work through a case, a condition, or a question the way doctors do on hospital rounds. Joe, a non physician host, asks what you would ask. What really happens before, during, and after the operating room, explained without the jargon.
English show. Season 1 coming soon. No fake dates, no fake play buttons, just the real lineup.

New to a brain, spine, ear, or balance diagnosis? Start with a symptom, follow the map, and bring better questions to your own doctor.
Test episode
Recorded August 2026. The brothers tested the format on camera. Season 1 builds on it.
Your hosts
Two brothers. Two specialties. One conversation.
Remi covers brain, spine, and nerves. Marc-Elie covers ear, nose, throat, head and neck, hearing, and balance. Joe keeps it in plain language.
Dr. Remi Nader
Neurosurgeon, founder of the International Center for Neuroscience, Houston
Co host and expert in brain, spine, and nerves, at the International Center for Neuroscience. Remi explains when surgery helps, when it does not, and what recovery really looks like.
Dr. Marc-Elie Nader
Professor at MD Anderson, ENT surgeon and neurotologist
Co host and expert in ear, nose, throat, head and neck, hearing, and balance. Marc-Elie is Remi brother, which means real agreement, real disagreement, and real banter.
Plus a possible recurring guest, to be confirmed: Irish, nurse practitioner, who would bring the frontline and patient care view.
Start with a symptom
What are you trying to understand?
Pick a symptom. The Symptom Map shows the likely territory, which brother leads, the red flags, and where to learn more.
Headache
Dizziness and vertigo
Tinnitus
Hearing loss
Back pain
Sciatica
Neck pain
Numbness
Balance problems
Red flag first: sudden worst ever headache, weakness, speech trouble, sudden hearing loss, or loss of bladder control needs urgent care, not a podcast. Call 911 for emergencies.
Featured
The test episode, and Season 1 ahead
Test Episode, recorded August 2026
The first on camera test of the Rounds format: two surgeons, one host, one case worked through in plain language. It proved the chemistry and the questions work.
Title and release details come with the Season 1 launch. We are not inventing them here.
12 episodes, built from real patient questions
Headaches, MRI reports, tinnitus, back pain, vertigo, concussions, hearing and dementia, sleep, incidental brain tumors, sciatica, wearables and scans, and what the brothers would tell their own family.

Recurring segments
Red Flag or Reassuring?
A symptom is put to both surgeons. Is it a sign to act now, or something that can safely be watched?
Myth of the Week
One common belief, tested against what surgeons actually see. Cracked knuckles, brain percentages, and more.
What the MRI Really Means
Report phrases translated into calm, plain language. Try the interactive decoder in Learn.
Two Specialists, One Symptom
One symptom, two territories. Dizziness, numbness, or neck pain, seen from brain and ear at once.
Would We Operate?
The honest test. Given this case, would each surgeon operate, treat, or watch? And why?
Your question could be next
Many segments start with a listener question, answered in general terms on the show.

Maps that make medicine visual
Seven interactive maps to come back to: a Headline Health map that sorts real from hype, a Red Flag urgency map, a Symptom Map, a Brain, Spine, Ear and Balance Map, a Crossover map, a Brain Health map, and a Patient Journey Map from first symptom to follow up.
The Rounds Poll
Settle it like a waiting room would
Which of these scares you most?
One question, four worries, zero late night search spirals. Vote for the one that would send you down the rabbit hole, and see where you land. The winning worry becomes a segment: the doctors will discuss the winner on the show.
Next poll lands with the next episode. Regulars get a say in what the brothers argue about.
Latest Q&A
Answered in general terms
Is tinnitus dangerous?
Usually it is a symptom, not a disease. One sided, pulsing, or sudden loss linked ringing should be checked promptly.
My MRI says degenerative disc disease. Do I need surgery?
In general terms, no. These changes are normal with age, and most are managed without surgery.
When is a headache an emergency?
A sudden worst ever headache, or one with weakness, speech, or vision change, needs urgent care. Call 911.
