Take A Listen To The Shots Podcast
This is an experiment, so I should ask for your informed consent. Are you prepared for some unorthodox audio from an ink-stained wretch still working on the transition to online journalism from print? If so, click away. The podcast starts with a segment about retail health clinics. I preview the results from the latest NPR-Truven Health Analytics Health Poll on the subject with the help of some friendly people who stopped to chat in Washington's Columbia Heights neighborhood. After that, I check in with Steven Salzberg, a bioinformatics guru at Johns Hopkins, about a recent study that found a daily multivitamin appeared to slightly reduce the risk of cancer in men 50 and older. Salzberg, who writes the Fighting Pseudoscience blog at Forbes, is skeptical. Recently, I wrote about another study that found some unintended consequences from public ratings for doctors.
