#1354: "The Aviation-Medicine Connection"

Traveling by air has never been safer. For years, airlines have put practices and procedures in place that make flying a safe, if not entirely comfortable experience. And a lot of people could learn a thing or two from their efforts. Today on the Best of Our Knowledge, we’ll talk to a pilot who is also a doctor and clinical chemist, about what the world of medicine could learn from the world of aviation.

And since we’re spending some time talking about flying, we’ll spend an academic minute underground talking about caves.
