Eric: For those of you don’t know, Emmy was on our podcast back in 2018 … man, pre-COVID times. Emmy: But we know that physiologic changes with aging, like decreasing night vision and so forth, as well as medications, as well as medical conditions, can all affect whether you can drive.

We have two new FDA-approved medications that reduce that amyloid buildup and modestly slow down the progression of the disease.

We talk not only about reading poetry, but also writing poetry, and using poetry in medical education as a healing modality. Redwing: When you’re diagnosed with cancer, the first thing you think about is when you’re going to die. And along the way, we really felt like we got to the heart of things.
