You're joining us on Anamnesis, a podcast about medicine ... but the things about medicine that aren't drugs and protocols and studies, the things about medicine that are hard to articulate, that make us come back for more, that keep us engaged in this crazy, mixed-up world we get to participate in, called "caring." Caring for patients, caring for the health of our nation, and caring about our fellow man/woman in healthcare. Care has been more important than ever with everything going on.

On Anamnesis, we strive to give you relief, context, and insight into our field, which is more important now than ever. Our theme is super appropriate, as are our guests in this episode titled "Infectious."
