The Health Show #1184 from The Health Show

At the beginning of the 20th century, the worldwide medical community was searching for the secret to controlling a disease that, at the time, was a death sentence: diabetes. On this week’s Health Show, we’ll talk to an author of a new, fascinating book on that search that centers around the daughter of a man who was, at the time, one of the most well known and powerful men in America. Then we’ll hear about a recent conference on the future of nursing in the US...and our friend Sandy D returns with a holiday un-fairy tale.
