Today: Election Day 2024

In today’s episode of “This Week Health,” host Bill Russell discusses the significance of Election Day 2024 and reflects on the pervasive fear and dread that accompany the political climate. Drawing from his experience as a former CIO and his observations, Bill addresses the lies that can distort our perceptions of political identity and the consequences of our beliefs. He emphasizes the importance of humility—intellectual, emotional, and political—as a means to foster curiosity, empathy, and civility in discussions about differing viewpoints. While acknowledging the challenges facing democracy, he advocates for respectful engagement and encourages listeners to rise above divisive rhetoric, ultimately aiming to create a more constructive dialogue in a politically charged environment. Bill concludes by reassuring the audience that future episodes will return to the intersection of technology and healthcare, emphasizing the show’s commitment to focusing on issues rather than partisan politics.
