Our guest this week is the incredible Dr Nighat Arif. After studying medicine to postpone an arranged marriage, she become a GP and now appears on TV. We find out how she answers questions about vaginal discharge in the supermarket and does a doctor need to see a doctor when they're ill?
Plus, we hear about the impact of chronic funding in the NHS and her experience of racism whilst practicing.
