Dr. Joshi advises patients and the general public to be wary of inflammatory political rhetoric in the upcoming 2024 election cycle.
He explains how politicians will try to –
1. Oversimplify
2. Conflate
3. Polarize
– key health issues and health policy in order to galvanize voters and increase voter turnout. But remember, as Dr. Joshi cautions, what’s good for the politician is not what’s good for society!
