Welcome to “Is It Serious?,” a conversational podcast where two top doctors pull back the curtain on the American healthcare system and answer all of your health concerns, one question at a time. Our doctor hosts, Jean Luc Neptune, MD and Mark Lewis, MD, share their medical knowledge in a fun, lighthearted chat while also getting to the root of the “question of the day.” They will discuss a range of topics covering everything from complex health issues to the absurdity of drug commercials. The doctors will also share healthcare hacks, insider insurance tips, and mean tweets from their personal social media accounts. JL and Mark are the doctor friends that you always wished you had and now, you do!
We're doing something a little different today. We want to share an absolutely incredible and important new series we've been working on at OffScrip Media.
It's called The Cancer Mavericks. The Cancer Mavericks is a serial deep-dive documentary series telling the previously untold story of the people who pushed like hell against a paternalistic medical establishment and an archaic healthcare system to transform the way we survive cancer in America. It's a vast tale of activism and conflict spanning more than nine decades of American history, and we're handing today's show entirely over to sharing episode 1 with you.
Listen to the first episode here, and then be sure to follow The Cancer Mavericks to hear each new episode as it drops every month between now and December.
Rest assured: the doctors will be back with you next Thursday.
But now, please enjoy "Lasker's War", Episode 1 of The Cancer Mavericks.
