Get Out of the Ivory Tower
Full disclosure - I make my living doing the same sort of analysis the author does in his podcasts, and have a strong belief in the ability of statistics to identify trends in data otherwise invisible. However, I think the value of this podcast is minimal to me. The elephant in the room is the trillion dollar question of why the cost of healthcare in the US is double that of other nations with equivalent quality. What we need is the author to apply his very impressive specialized skill set to this problem, and take action to realize a solution. This is our true public health crisis, not the issues that he brings up. I think he misses the forest for the trees.

More reviews of Freakonomics, M.D.
Great show. Medicine in the USA is such a big business we should definitely have more MD economists!

Very thought provoking, yet entertaining podcast. The world of medicine definitely could benefit from incorporating knowledge from behavioral science and economics. Bapu Jena seems to be very objective and thoughtful. I look forward to hearing more from him.
