641 - What Can We Learn About Medicine from What Iconic Sci-Fi Movies Get Wrong?

from Public Health On Call · host Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health

There's a paradox in sci-fi movies: Even in the most futuristic, technologically advanced societies depicted in film, main characters often die because of a lack of basic medical care. Two movie fans, Johns Hopkins ICU physician Dr. Jack Iwashyna and his son, Sage, talk with Dr. Josh Sharfstein about some scenes in the Star Wars and Aliens franchises and how they can be used to appreciate the gaps that remain in health care today.
