Health journalist Rachel Gotbaum dives deep into the causes and impacts of the use of race in clinical medicine. Gotbaum devotes her entire second season to these issues, covering everything from the impact of race-based lung assessments on disability support;  how a drug for congestive heart failure came to be marketed only to Black patients; and how one TikTok reel about the use of race in pulse oximetry saved a life.
