Urologists React to Last Week Tonight with John Oliver "Bias in Medicine"

Today I am accompanied by Dr. Rachel Rubin, urologist and sexual dysfunction expert to discuss John Oliver’s Last Week Tonight episode “Bias in Medicine.” We discuss biases in urology with evidence-based information, specifically gender and racial disparities. Find out more about the disparities in treatment for bladder cancer, prostate cancer, opiate use and much more! I even share a story about a patient in my clinic who actually paid someone to give a urine sample!
