GREAT MINDS OF MEDICINE

In a recording of the PBS TV show of the same name, noted science reporter Laurie Garrett interviews five experts on heart disease, manic-depressive illness, infectious disease, breast cancer, and emergency medicine. All of the information is interesting in the way many Public TV shows are -- it expands your view of the world and gives you something to think about. The segment on breast cancer is an excellent primer on women's choices in this area. The focus of the remaining interviews is on public health approaches, rather than on things each individual can do. T.W. (c) AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC/ JAN 02]
