Show Notes
The hosts return with oversized martinis and oversized stories, discussing a New Jersey woman awarded $13 million after a stroke was misdiagnosed as DUI, and reminiscing on the heartbreaking 1984 death of Ron Tabak from Prism—whose fatal head injury led to major trauma care reforms in Vancouver. They tie it all together with a compelling case for better diagnostic discipline, a tease for a glutathione-focused episode, and a sober sip of North Carolina vodka.
