Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Guest Host: Sam Litzinger
Pharmacology’s exploded in the two decades, but for all the pills we pop, why is the greatest predictor of life expectancy NOT our genetics or behavior, but our individual socio-economic status? The answer’s not as simple as you think. We meet a physician and medical educator who’s trying to help all Americans ask better questions of our doctors, and figure out whether our medical routines are helping us improve our quality of life.
Guests
- Nortin Hadler Rheumatologist; author "Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America" (UNC Press) and Professor of Medicine, UNC School of Medicine
