Dr. Nina L. Shapiro, Director of Ear, Nose, and Throat at the Mattel’s Children’s Hospital UCLA and Professor at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA took time out of her busy schedule to appear at San Francisco’s prestigious Commonwealth Club to talk about her book which is a doctor’s guide to medical myths, exaggerated claims, and bad advice. It also tells us what’s real and what’s not regarding medical issues and health concerns that most of the public have during their lifetime. Her presentation was powerful, educational, and informative. Her book is titled HYPE.
