Atlanta Magazine has an interview with Otis Webb Brawley, M.D., and an excerpt from his new book “How We Do Harm: A Doctor Breaks Ranks About Being Sick in America.”
The excerpt tells the story of 53-year-old Edna Riggs, of Atlanta, Georgia. Fear of cancer, medical debt, and losing her job caused her to not seek treatment for her breast cancer until it reached a very advanced state.
