Head and Neck Infections Review!
Maybe it’s the subject matter, or the relatively graphic randomly generated thumbnail
graphic, or the outstanding teaching done by its author, Dr. John Greene, but this podcast has
consistently been among the most popular on our channel. And it seems as relevant today as
it was when it was first recorded in 2011. Congratulations to Dr. Greene for his distinction as
being both the most prolific podcaster and the author of the most viewed podcast!
Thank you all for joining us on this journey though our history as we celebrate ten years of IDPodcasts!
A part two of this lecture is also available by the author (Dr. Robert Brooks)
