Honored to host Barron H Lerner, MD, PhD, a professor of medicine, bioethicist, and 5-time book author at New York University shares his personal journey of contracting and being treated for COVID-19, thoughts on the usefulness of antibody tests and convalescent-based plasma treatment, ethical considerations of treating patients with experimental therapy, and the balance between patient autonomy and physician paternalism. I learned so much from listening to Dr. Lerner; you will for sure enjoy this one.
