People often think of major medical disasters as unpredictable "black swan" events. In fact, emergency physicians see the same injuries from the same causes time and again, and ordinary people can lessen those risks by their own choices. Dr. McGuff will explain the risks, how to mitigate them, and how to best cope if you or a loved one lands in the emergency room. Philosopher Dr. Diana Hsieh will interview emergency medicine physician Dr. Doug McGuff about "Avoiding the Emergency Room" on Wednesday evening, 8 May 2013, at 6 pm PT / 7 MT / 8 CT / 9 ET. Join the live broadcast at Philosophy in Action: Live Studio. For more from Dr. Diana Hsieh on the application of rational principles to the challenges of real life, visit PhilosophyInAction.com.
