On this edition, the guys are joined by the amazing Dr. Adaora Okoli. Dr. Okoli is a Nigerian physician who has been designated a health care hero by Bill Gates for her work in preventing the Ebola outbreak from spreading to Nigeria. Please tune in to her amazing story of compassion and heroism as well as her duty to serve in the capacity as a physician, despite the insurmountable risks of contracting Ebola viral disease. 

Doc Griggs and Dr. Dery talk about their colds - and explain what the symptoms of a cold are, including laryngitis. They both admit that, not only are men lousy patients, but male physicians are especially lousy patients! Dr. Dery concludes the show talking about having an upper respiratory infection in Sierra Leone while he was investigating Ebola during the historic epidemic and the anxiety of having a fever and wondering if it was Ebola.
