Fast paced and interesting!

I love medical history and have always been particularly interested in the Janet Parker case. This podcast has a lot of interviews with people related to the case in a variety of different ways - ambulance drivers, the child of a doctor who managed an otherwise vacant smallpox hospital, etc. I highly recommend.
