About this episode

In this episode, Dr. Matteson briefly discusses his current research on the implications of COVID-19 infection on autoimmune diseases with lung involvement. He then dives into the history of vasculitis and other rheumatological diseases and explains why naming diseases after pathologies, not people, is important to diagnosis and treatment. The episode concludes with an overview of Dr. Matteson's experience as a rheumatologist in New Zealand. Tune in to Episode 8 to learn about patient-oriented, ethical practice, Ben's perspective on steroid treatment, and how different healthcare systems can impact care.
