Episode description

This week we discuss some massive failures of The Hippocratic Oath: an oath of ethics historically taken by physicians to “do no harm”. Two doctors, Dr. Max Jacobson and Gordon Pedersen are in the hot seat! Join us as we explore “magical” vitamin shots and a shiny new cure for COVID-19 to reveal whether these doctors intended to be dealers or healers?
