Episode 38: Our Biased Brains (Part 1)

In today’s episode, Dr. Junaid detours into the world of bias and how it shows up in medicine, not to shame your brain, but to explain it. He unpacks what bias actually is, why it exists, and why your brain is not misbehaving when it has biased thoughts. You will hear how bias is universal, and he starts connecting this to real clinical life, hinting at the subtle ways bias can shape who we worry about, who we interrupt, and which diagnoses we reach for first. Think of this episode as the “meet your brain’s operating system” visit, with zero shame and no mandatory HR module.
