Gladwell on Doctors' Prescriptions, Carbon Copies and the Opioid Crisis.

What if a little bit of extra paperwork could saves lives and perhaps end an epidemic? Enjoy a cautionary tale from our friend and fellow Pushkin host, Malcolm Gladwell. The new season of Revisionist History begins with a half-baked idea of an obscure bureaucrat in the 1930’s and ends with one of the worst public health disasters in American history - the opioid crisis.  Stick around to hear Tim and Malcolm discuss the episode and the importance of admitting you're wrong.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
