Description
Connie and Robin begin the interview discussing viral outbreaks, how Ebola is easily transmitted, and how viruses are very difficult to treat. They move on to consider profit in medical practice, and how Robin draws motivation for his stories from actual medical questions and mysteries. Connie and Robin proceed to talk about how the medical industry is engaged in heated debate concerning drug distribution to patients, and how patients are treated, before returning to the narrative’s plot. Connie closes the interview requesting an autograph for her copy of the book.
