Doctor Mal-Practice and Nurse Epi-Pen spoke about the Pituitary Gland on this week's episode with help from a surgeon, pathologist and patient to discuss what the gland is and what can go awry with the gland itself.

Catriona McLean, a neurological pathologist and director of the Victorian Brain Bank, as well as surgeon Nicky Martin also discuss the tiny gland so vital to our brains.
