Best of 2016: Insiders vs. Outsiders in Medicine

Over the past year we've brought you stories about tacos, taxidermy, and DDT. But at the same time we've been thinking about and researching medicine—specifically, how outsiders to the field have helped change the ways doctors practice. Join us to find out how philosophers, transgender patients, and Jehovah's Witnesses have influenced health care in the United States over the past few decades.
