Mystery Infections & Antibiotics

Today’s topic is based on a NY Times article that’s getting a lot of traction, maybe because the title sounds like an international thriller: A Mysterious Infection, Spanning the Globe in a Climate of Secrecy. The infection has a hard to pronounce name, Candida Auris, and it embodies a growing public health threat: drug-resistant germs. Which poses the question, are we reaching the end of the antibiotic era? We discuss this and much more! **GROSS ANATOMY PODCAST IS NOT INTENDED TO BE A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL ADVICE, DIAGNOSIS, OR TREATMENT.

Gross Antaomy is where pop culture and health culture meet. Dr. Jason Cohen and Ali address medical questions that the doc is asked by friends, family, and often strangers. We also love to talk pop culture and how it relates to health and medicine — like celebrity diets, Amy Schumer speaking out about endometriosis and our doctor reviews of medical TV and movies. We also splice in professional interviews, check out our episode with TV writer and The Resident co-creator Dr. Roshan Sethi, or our interview with famous plastic surgeon Dr. Robert Rey aka DR. 90210, and don't miss our Q&A with Miss USA Nana Meriwether and many more!
