Description

We’re known for our medical center and health innovations here in H-Town, but recent headlines are making host Raheel Ramzanali question what’s going at the med center. First, he’s talking to Houston Chronicle health reporter Julian Gill about the Memorial Herman transplant scandal and what exactly happened with patients being taken off a donor database. Then, he’s talking to Dr. Erica Giwa of Legacy Community Health about why black maternal mortality rates are so high in a city that is known for healthcare.
