Informações:

Synopsis

The global pandemic of Covid-19 has left us with a lot of unanswered questions. In this episode we decided to ask a medical professional, and close personal friend, about how we can sort through all of the confusion of misinformation and systemic racism in the medical system. Dr. Benzi Kluger is a researcher at the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York and Director of the Neuro-Palliative Care Division in the new Palliative Care Research Center. He is also working on a book called “Dangerous and Expensive Bullshit” which will empower the average citizen to take responsibility for their health through information literacy. Links:  Ibram X.
