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 on the second of a two-part episode, the guys continue their discussion of Steve Martin (1:43). They start off the episode by going through Steve Martin’s filmography, including the Jerk, All of Me, Three Amigos, Planes, Trains and Automobiles, Father of the Bride, Roxanne, L.A. Story, Bowfinger, The Pink Panther, amongst others. They then discuss Martin’s other works including his dramatic and musical plays. They also discuss his banjo playing and his musical albums. Finally, they discuss his recent hit show, ‘Only Murders in the Building’.
Then, since Martin suffers from Tinnitus, in the second half, the guys discuss this disorder (26:58). Asif talks about what it is, how common it is and how there are actually two types of tinnitus – objective tinnitus which others can hear and subjective tinnitus which only you can hear. They then discuss the presumed causes of tinnitus. Asif goes over how it is diagnosed and finally how it can be difficult to treat.
