Have Working Conditions for Health Care Workers Improved?

The Brian Lehrer Show | May 1, 2020

We're honoring May Day by talking to health care workers about working conditions, and how they've changed since the start of the pandemic.

Danielle Ofri, physician at Bellevue hospital, clinical professor of medicine at the NYU School of Medicine, New York Times contributor and the author of the newly published, When We Do Harm: A Doctor Confronts Medical Error (Beacon Press, 2020), and Carlina Rivera, City Council member (D-2, East Village, Gramercy Park, Kips Bay, Lower East Side, Murray Hill, Rose Hill) take calls and talk about whether doctors and nurses deserve stronger whistle blower protections.
