E28 Equity in Surgery with Julius Ebinu, Shahzeer Karmali, and Morad Hameed

This was a special episode of Cold Steel. In light of the murder of George Floyd and the subsequent protests, there has been a renewed international desire to confront the racial inequities that plague our society today. This applies to healthcare and in particular to surgery. To talk about this we have three phenomenal guests. 

Dr. Julius Ebinu is a neurosurgeon in Sacramento at UC Davis.
