Apply to be on the show

A short form. The rest of the conversation is human.

If you have a real question about your own health — something that's been with you for a while, something a routine appointment hasn't been able to take seriously enough — we'd like to hear from you.

What happens next

How this works, in plain language.

I.

You send a short note

Just enough to reach you. The form below.

II.

Someone from the team reaches out

A real person, usually within a week. A short conversation about what's going on. No commitment on your side.

III.

We collect records securely

Bloodwork, recent reports, anything else relevant — through a secure intake. No documents are uploaded through this form.

IV.

A clinical and editorial review

A senior clinician and an editor look at whether your situation is one we can take seriously and serve well. Not every case is right for the show — and that's not a judgment on you.

V.

If it's a fit, we film

In a quiet room. Unhurried. You see the labs first. The doctor reasons through them on camera. A protocol is built with you. Then we come back at month one, month four, and month twelve.

Some patients continue care with the affiliated telemedicine clinic afterward. Some don't. Either way, the case airs — that's part of the bargain we make with the audience. Full detail on the How this works page.

The form

Tell us how to reach you.

Four fields. The rest is a phone call.

Please tell us your name.
Please enter a valid email address.
Please enter a phone number we can reach you at.

We treat what you share carefully. Your note isn't a medical record — just a starting point for a conversation. We won't share your details with anyone outside the show's small team without your written consent.

Usually a reply within a week.
Got it — thank you.

A real person on the team will be in touch within about a week. Sometimes a few days, sometimes a few more — depending on the queue.

If you'd like to read while you wait, the structure of a Cases episode is a good place to start, and the protocol library shows the kind of thing we'd build with you.

Two things worth saying out loud

We say no often. That's a feature, not a flaw.

Not every case is right for the show. Sometimes the question is one a great primary care visit could answer; sometimes the workup needed is bigger than a single episode can serve well; sometimes the timing is wrong. When we decline, we try to be honest about why, and to point you to something more useful.

And some guests choose care elsewhere afterward.

That's fine. The affiliated telemedicine clinic is an option, not a condition. The case airs either way, and the protocol is yours to take to whichever clinician you trust. Read the full disclosure on the How this works page.
