The Joy of Curiosity August 22, 2007

Host: Armand DiMeleGuests: Roberta Maria Atti

Curiosity is a survival skill. Armand DiMele and co-host Roberta Maria Atti use a near-fatal drug interaction between Effexor and triptans to argue that patients who research their own conditions protect themselves in ways that physicians and pharmacies often fail to. The conversation ranges from mold under a microscope to the mechanics of serotonin reuptake inhibitors.
