What is it, why is it so important, who is doing it and why are some people reticent about something that is so obviously good for their health? Furthermore, what are the transatlantic nuances to this debate? Presented by Desiree Chappell with Sol Aronson, tenured professor at Duke University and Executive Vice Chairman in the Department of Anesthesiology, and their guest Mike Grocott, Professor of Anaesthesia and critical care at the University of Southampton. -- Like this, want more?
