Customer Reviews
Nice summary
I have trouble keeping up with the latest literature, so this is a good way to get the summary of this weeks NEJM. I would have 2 suggestions - have professional actors read the abstracts (usually they are more engaging, even if the topic is dry), and to also give a little bit of a background + expert commentary on the study being presented.
Keep it up
Great job!
Please we need MORE awesome
Keep the good work -:)
