PreExisting Condition with Priyanka Wali and Sammy Obeid
50 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 3 years ago - ★★★★★ - 18 ratingsEveryone has a medical condition, but most of us don’t talk about it outside of the doctor’s office. Good thing we have board-certified medical doctor, Priyanka Wali, and alternative medicine fanatic, Sammy Obeid, here to invite comedians to open up, laugh, and cry about their serious--and sometimes secret--medical conditions. Each week, we hear a raw, untold story, and learn what worked and what didn’t. Making fun of big Pharma and Reiki hippies alike, we walk out with the best prescription: laughter.
