Episode notes

On each episode of the uronon smart podcast, i eat a cooki baked from a recipe sent in by a listener or a reader. The cookie comes from beth goldwits, and she writes, being with my ordinary chocolate chip cookies. And nastalgic for the old soviet union. I doubt these cookies ever graced the table of a commissar, but if they had, he would have enjoyed them.

In this episode, we talk to Danielle Ofri, a physician and author of "What Doctors Feel" - a book about the emotional lives of doctors and how compassion fatigue, biases, and other mental phenomena affect their decisions, their motivations, and their relationships with patients.

You'll also hear Ofri discuss emotional epidemiology, the viral-like spread of fear and other emotions that can lead to panics like those we've seen surrounding Ebola, the Swine Flu, SARS, and other illnesses.
