139. Dr. Oren Gottfried // Medical Consultant & Neurosurgeon

What's My Frame

Today on What's My Frame I'm joined by ⁠Dr. Oren Gottfried⁠. Neurosurgeon by Day, Lead TV Medical Consultant by Night. Logline for your new favorite show... not quite.

This conversation is a pod first and I'm so thankful that Dr. Gottfried made the time to join us. Today we're going behind the scenes of our favorite medical procedurals to how they authenticity take the audience on emotional journeys each week with the help of real medical professionals.

Dr. Gottfried is a Neurosurgeon and Professor at Duke University. In addition to clinical and academic work, he provides creative and technical expertise as a medical consultant and writer for Chicago Med, Brilliant Minds & The Good Doctor among others. Dr. Gottfried openness to help others in understanding his world of medicine paired with a cold-call from a producer in 2010 opened a whole new chapter in his work.

This conversation is full of insight, education and empowerment. For anyone that's had nerves or hesitation working on medical procedurals, we're here to help. I've been blessed to work on a number of medical shows and bring my background as a first responder to the role. On each set I've been so impressed with the care and attention to detail the medical consultants bring to the set and script.

My hope is this conversation will be a lasting asset for actors, giving you insight into the world so that you can create at your highest level. Thank you to Dr. Gottfried for sharing his love of medicine and the craft with us today. Now let's get to the conversation!
