This week, Mike and Jeremy talk to Dr. Richard Bedlack, director of the Duke ALS Clinic and head of ALSUntangled, about a recent paper he co-authored laying out common red-flags patients need to know about when considering off-label treatments. Dr. Bedlack also weighs in on the ways technology adoption during the Covid-19 pandemic could change the future of medicine.
