Ok, its been a while since we've heard about Ebola.  But the disease hasn't gone away, and it is quite possible that it could come back. Join me and Dr. Steven Hatch, the author of "Inferno: A Doctors Ebola Story" as we talk about his time in Liberia on the front lines of treating this disease.

Lupus.  A mysterious disease of mysterious cause that does great damage to the body.  We know so little that it makes even diagnosing this problem difficult.  Join me and Dr. Betty Diamond of The Feinstein Institute at Hofstra University Medical School and Northwell Health as we talk about Lupus and her new study showing that a lack of Blimp-1 ( a protein, not a floating airship) is seen in women with this disease.

Millennials.  Some are entering their mid to late thirties, which constantly amazes me. But still, no one thinks of them as in the "sick" part of life.  Despite this, they are getting strokes.  Join me and Dina Fine Maron as we talk about the story she wrote in Scientific American on this topic.
