The new year arrives with events that defy logic – the Charlie Hebdo massacre, tanning bed injuries, Tony injures his ankle – and Health Matters struggles to make sense of it all. This wide-ranging show covers Dr. Oz, new obesity drugs, e-cigarettes, and the sensible use of cholesterol medicine, while trying to maintain hope that the year is still salvageable.
Tip: if you have injured your ankle, have it evaluated. Warning signs of a fracture include tenderness above the ankle bone on either side, tenderness along the outside of the foot, and tenderness when you press in the middle of the foot in the front where the leg comes in.
