The Hidden Side of Everything

This is the second episode in a three part series we're calling bad medicine. It's about the many ays in which the medical establishment, for all the obvious good they've done in the world, has also failed us. We talk about the fact that medicine hasn't always been as empirical as you might think. And what happens when a new class of drugs comes to market with great clinical trial results, but none of them have evidence showing that they reduce your risk of heart attack or renal failure.
