The Beauty of Medicine
You don’t have to be a plastic surgeon to give Botox injections. Now other physicians are getting into cosmetic medicine thanks to the higher salaries and lower malpractice rates. Find out how the beauty business is drawing so-called “non-core” doctors and why the “core” ones aren’t happy about it with guest host Errol Louis. Plus: why an NBA star is giving away free shoes and more on the Sean Bell shooting.
