Doctors Give Us Hope




To The Best Of Our Knowledge show

Summary: This week, To the Best of Our Knowledge comes to you from our kitchens and homes. We’re safe, but we’ve all been thinking about the people on the front lines of the pandemic — doctors, nurses and hospital staffs. We’ve been seeing them on social media — the nurses in NYC wearing garbage bags because there aren’t enough sterile gowns.  Doctors figuring out those weird new face masks. Those incredibly brave doctors and nurses in Italy, Spain, France, the U.S. This hour we tell some remarkable stories of doctors and scientists who are saving lives. *Original Air Date: * March 28, 2020 **Guests: ** <a href="https://www.ttbook.org/people/larry-brilliant" target="_blank">Larry Brilliant</a> — <a href="https://www.ttbook.org/people/josh-mezrich" target="_blank">Josh Mezrich</a> — <a href="https://www.ttbook.org/people/missy-makinia" target="_blank">Missy Makinia</a> — <a href="https://www.ttbook.org/people/manu-prakash" target="_blank">Manu Prakash</a> **Interviews In This Hour: ** <a href="https://www.ttbook.org/interview/hippie-doctor-who-helped-eradicate-smallpox" target="_blank">The Hippie Doctor Who Helped Eradicate Smallpox</a> — <a href="https://www.ttbook.org/interview/would-you-give-your-kidney-stranger-0" target="_blank">Would You Give Your Kidney to a Stranger?</a> — <a href="https://www.ttbook.org/interview/could-50-cent-microscope-change-world-0" target="_blank">Could a 50 Cent Microscope Change the World?</a>
