Unusual Medical Stories & Alzheimer's Disease Awareness

Dr. Cohen shares some of the unusual medical conditions he's encountered in his career, then we discuss how (in 1983) President Ronald Reagan proclaimed November to be National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month. President Reagan wanted to raise awareness not only for the disease — but for the caregivers who shoulder the heavy burden for patients. *GROSS ANATOMY 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!
