Figure 1: A Disturbing Medical App

The podcast delves into Figure 1, an app described as Instagram for doctors, where medical professionals can share and discuss gruesome medical cases. The app allows doctors to capture photos of unique cases, such as gunshot wounds or rare medical conditions, after obtaining patient consent. Users post images while adhering to strict rules to maintain patient anonymity, showcasing close-ups of injuries, x-rays, and scans. Figure 1's content, though graphic, provides a platform for medical professionals to engage and learn from each other's experiences.
