A college basketball player's health story and how to avoid misinformation

Today we talk about a trend I’ve been noticing in discussions surrounding a fellow former GW student, and broader implications of what happens when we don’t get the story right. When sharing a news story or any health/science information, be sure to slow down and make sure what you’re sharing is correct. In other scenarios, if you’re reading about a health condition for the first time, look into it more. Thank you to Dr. Bloomfield and Garrett Johnson for joining me.
