This Week on Sound Medicine

INDIANAPOLIS — This weekend, Sept. 26 and 27, Sound Medicine host Barbara Lewis and her guests will discuss a health care reform, over-the-counter drugs and delirium and the science of baby consciousness.

Aaron Carroll, M.D., M.S., associate professor of pediatrics and director for the Center of Health Policy and Professionalism Research at the Indiana University School of Medicine, will provide an update on the progress toward health care reform legislation.

Malaz Boustani, M.D., associate professor of medicine and research scientist at the Center for Healthy Aging at the IU School of Medicine, will explain how some over-the-counter drugs can cause “fuzzy thinking” and even delirium in some hospitalized older adults.

Alison Gopnik, Ph.D., professor of psychology and philosophy at the University of California at Berkeley, will discuss her new book, The Philosophical Baby, which looks at what’s going on inside a baby’s head.

In this week’s Sound Medicine “Checkup,” Jeremy Shere, Ph.D., will explore watching sleep apnea in action.
