Show Notes

Let’s get this part out of the way first: yes, Dr. Mark Vonnegut is Kurt Vonnegut Jr’s son. And today we are going to talk about a new book that he has written. But this isn’t the great American novel, this is the story of his 40 years as a pediatrician. In those years he has seen massive changes in the American medical system, both good and bad. The name of the book is “The Heart of Caring – A Life in Pediatrics”. Dr. Vonnegut is still a practicing pediatrician living in Milton, Massachusetts.

We’ll also spend an Academic Minute with the importance of pre-natal care. https://www.wamc.org/show/the-best-of-our-knowledge/2022-01-20/1635-a-life-in-pediatrics
