No Frances Mei this week, so Tony brought in reinforcements.

Dr. Janet McMordie (now appearing on network medical drama Doc) and Friend-of-the-Pod, Dr. Ryan Montoya join Social Rounds for a wild, behind-the-scenes look at where medicine and entertainment collide.

This episode starts chaotic and somehow escalates:

Tony casually reveals he won $25,000 on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire… Janet breaks down what it’s actually like being a real physician on a TV set… and Ryan brings stories from the edges of Hollywood that prove actors are, in fact, just as unhinged as the rest of us.

Janet shares how she transitioned from medicine into acting and what it’s actually like working on a major TV production. Along the way, the group unpacks the reality of medical storytelling, the limits of authenticity, and why even the most experienced actors still struggle with the basics of medicine.

In this episode:

– The truth about acting on medical shows (from an actual doctor)

– Why even veteran actors still struggle with medical jargon

– Tony’s game show past and the question that cost him more money

– Behind-the-scenes stories from TV sets (including when things go very wrong)

– Fame, ego, and the weird overlap between medicine and Hollywood
