Episode description

Most people easily forget how devastating some childhood illnesses were. Before the measles vaccine was developed in the early 1960s, 2 1/2 million people died of measles every year in the world.” Schneebaum advises parents who are hesitant to vaccinate to talk to their pediatrician about their concerns and approach the subject with an open mind and an interest in learning. Ron Schneebaum spent 40 years as a primary care pediatrician. He also served in the clinical faculty at Dartmouth College’s Geisel School of Medicine. During his career he regularly noted the power and importance of love for the human psyche. It became the basis for his book, “Bigger Hearted: A Retired Pediatrician’s Prescriptions for Living a Happier Life.”
