SHOW
Doctor, Speaker, Gut Health Expert with a Comic Touch
As an American board-certified gastroenterologist, I am passionate about teaching the community on gut health. I love incorporating humor into my educational outreach to create a light-hearted approach.
What is MEDCOM
“MedCom,” or medical comedy, is Dr. Pal’s unique blend of humour and medicine. From small lifestyle changes that make us healthier to picking on the crowd for their choice of junk food, MedCom brings hilarious health entertainment to the Dr. Pal family.
We hope to see you at one of the upcoming shows! If you laugh so much that your stomach hurts, don’t worry, Dr. Pal is always here to treat you!
