Southern Remedy Relatively Speaking | Mistrust of Physicians

Host: Dr. Susan Buttross, Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, and Abram NanneyTopic: A grateful public regarded doctors as health care heroes during the COVID 19 pandemic, and many were literally heroes, some of whom died caring for sick and dying patients.

Today on Relatively Speaking we will tackle this to try to understand how to be an active and educated participant in your health care.You can join the conversation by sending an email to: [email protected].
