I never listen to the radio, but today it happened to be on in the car before I could plug my phone in and heard a familar voice and realized it was Vinay's. I was floored that he was on an NPR show, but they mentioned something about "when this first aired" at the end, so I looked it up and this was 9 years ago! Vinay was talking about eminence-based medicine and randomized controlled trials even back then. I actually remember listening to this small 3-part series as I was listening to a lot of podcasts back then, but of course didn't recognize him as I didn't become a listener of Z's until Covid, and it was only a few shows, but I highly recommend the short series, called Bad Medicine. Here's the first one:

Today's interview with legendary vaccine researcher Paul Offit. Video version coming shortly!
I have nine thyroid nodules (tumors). There have been scans and several biopsies over the last decade or so. The last scan showed possible cancer so I got referred to a surgeon. So now the surgeon says the problem tumor is on the right and the biopsy doctor says it is on the left. I noted my concern with the surgeon's office on Monday but haven't heard back. Doctors have disagreements but this is surgery and being right matters. Now what?
Bhagwan Sri Rajneesh, aka Osho, said the most enlightened stuff you'll ever hear from a hedonistic materialistic sexual predator. Amazing!
