A company called Loop is working with a number of consumer product companies, including Nestle, PepsiCo and Proctor & Gamble, to work towards "zero waste" initiatives.

Federal regulations mandate pilots must retire when they are 65 years old. But there is no such law in place for doctors. When are doctors too old to treat patients? And what should the criteria be to determine their retirement? A new report in the Journal of the American Medical Association Surgery examines this issue and recommends protocols for testing older doctors for health and competence, though it doesn't specify at what age that should happen. Some hospitals have instituted a policy of review for physicians when they turn 70 years of age. The AMA study estimates about a quarter of all practicing physicians in the U.S. are over the age of 65. To help explore these questions, host Dan Loney is joined by the three researches from the University of Washington who worked on this report: Patchen Dellinger, a Professor Emeritus in the Department of Surgery, Thomas Gallagher a Professor in the Department of Bioethics and Humanities, and Carlos Pellegrini, a Professor in the Department of Surgery and former Chief Medical Officer at the University of Washington Medicine.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In 2017 there were over 47,000 opioid-linked deaths in the United States – a six percent increase from 2016, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Massachusetts is now suing Purdue Pharma, maker of Oxycontin, and members of the Sackler family, one of the wealthiest families in America and owners of Purdue Pharma. The suit alleges the Sacklers made billions of dollars as their company pushed doctors to prescribe the pain killer, assuring the drug had a low risk of misuse, even though they knew it was highly addictive. Purdue is also accused of failing to report doctors who were overprescribing the drug. The company is facing hundreds of different suits by state and local governments across the country. Host Dan Loney is joined by Rob Field, Professor of Law and Professor of Health Management and Policy at Drexel University and a lecturer in the Health Care Management Department of the Wharton school, and Keith Humphreys, Professor and Section Director for Mental Health Policy at Stanford University and Senior Research Career Scientist at the VA Health Services Research Center, to discuss these allegations and more on the opioid epidemic on Knowledge@Wharton.
