After that, we'll have GI Update, where I will tell you the latest and greatest in the world of digestive diseases and answer your questions at 1-877-NYU-DOCS! Or send me a tweet.
Two things that have never occurred to me in the same thought are "fashion" and "tuberculosis." Join me and Dr. Carolyn Day, PhD, of Furman University as we talk about her research and her upcoming book, "Consumptive Chic: A History of Fashion, Beauty and Disease."
Thoughts on the relationship between fashion and health? Let us know at 1-877-NYU-DOCS!
We will end the show, as usual, with Ask Doctor Ira, where you can ask me any question on any medical topic at all...anything you forgot to ask your doctor as me! Give me a call or tweet!
