Is Laughter the best medicine? We attempt to answer this and other pressing questions in Doctor Vs Comedian. 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 talk about serious subjects in an unserious way. If you want to hear about comedy, entertainment, health and wellness and don‘t want to have to choose between being entertaining AND informed, then this show is for you.

Today, Asif and Ali briefly continue their conversation from the last episode about ‘pitching’ and in doing so discuss Jason Sudeikis, ‘Ted Lasso’ and what makes someone successful in comedy (0:37). Ali then describes people who have pitched unsuccessfully to him. Then, Ali asks Asif about erectile dysfunction (7:27). Asif defines the terms, and discusses its many causes and how it is often an indicator of other health issues…a so-called canary in a coalmine. Asif discusses both the psychological and medical factors which can cause erectile dysfunction.
