Were The Children of Flint Poisoned? Not So Fast...
from The ZDoggMD Show · host Dr. Zubin Damania
There is no known safe level of lead exposure for children. The Flint water crisis exposed poorly managed infrastructure that desperately demanded repair. But were the children of Flint "poisoned" by toxic lead levels, or is there a deeper story here? Dr. Hernán F. Gómez, MD, Associate Professor, Dept. of Emergency Medicine, University of Michigan Medicine, Hurley Medical Center joins us on this special episode of Against Medical Advice to talk about this study in the Journal of Pediatrics (of which he was lead author). http://zdoggmd.com/ama044 Learn more about your ad choices.
