A new global report has found that tuberculosis is once again the leading infectious disease causing mortality around the globe, as covid cases recede.

Also on the show, are we seeing the first cases of locally transmitted Mpox outside of the African continent? And FND, or functional neurologic disorder – the most common disorder you’ve probably never heard of.
