The title of this week's show may sound academic, but consider this - what we do as a society to interact with each other can and does affect our health. For example, if your doctor is not culturally competent, will he/she really understand that it's hard for you to eat fresh fruit and veggies on a daily basis because you may live in a food desert? What role does bias play for both the patient and healthcare professional during a medical visit? And what about technology in the healthcare field? What impact might electronic medical records have on your ability to receive proper care? We'll talk about these issues with Gary David,Ph.D., Associate Professor of Sociology at Bentley University, and President, Association for Applied and Clinical Sociology and cardiologist Dr. Keith Newby, Friday, September 28 at noon on 89.5 WHRV-FM
