Episode notes

This episodei's going to have is a conversation with daniel ofre all about what doctors feel. And it has really nothing to do with ebola, after a while, but i think it's worth listening to. I'm driving all over the place now getting interviews for a new project. While i am doing that, i'm listening to the great courses series,. Your deceptive mind, a scientific guide to critical thinking.

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.
