Summary: This week, we are joined by Lisa Sanders. You may recognize her name from the monthly “<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/column/diagnosis" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Diagnosis</a>” column that she writes for the New York Times Magazine. She writes about unusual cases and diagnostic dilemmas, exploring both a patient’s experience of disease but also their journey through the healthcare system. She is the author of a book exploring similar themes, <a href="http://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/160407/every-patient-tells-a-story-by-lisa-sanders-md/9780767922470/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Every Patient Tells a Story</a>. Her column was the inspiration for the popular TV show <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0412142/?ref_=ttfc_fc_tt" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">House</a>, and she served as a technical advisor for the show.

She talks about what it is like to live in a world of zebras when most of us are used to horses, and how she finds her fantastic cases. Lastly, she shares what it is like to work as a technical advisor on a hit TV show.<br> Send your interesting cases to Dr. Sanders for her column: <a href="mailto:lisa.sandersmd@gmail.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">lisa.sandersmdATgmail.com</a>.<br> If you like the show, please rate and review us on itunes or stitcher, which makes the show easier for others to find; and share us on social media.
