Personal health and medical treatment are among the most intimate and sensitive issues, so discussing them in public -- on a TV broadcast, no less -- usually only happens when someone is having a serious issue with the medical system, a practitioner or treatment. Choosing which stories to cover and how is incredibly difficult because they often turn into a "he said, she said" see-saw between the patient and/or their family and the other side, whether it be the entire healthcare system or a particular person or company.
In this far-reaching podcast, BTS with CTV Vancouver host Penny Daflos and CTV Vancouver Managing Editor Ethan Faber discuss the intricacies around health and medical reporting, with a focus on two recent stories exposing issues in the current system of home-based support for people with severe epilepsy and debilitating illnesses like ALS while living in remote communities.
