The Pulse – December 6, 2013

    Listen

    This week on The Pulse, we look into why medical bills are so expensive and hard to understand.

    We also hear one man’s excruciating tale of his experience with a kidney stone and Maiken Scott talks with a doctor about the variety of emotions that affect the daily practice of medicine.

    Faye Flam takes us on a journey aimed at improving her spatial intelligence and Elana Gordon sits with very frustrated Americans as they try to enroll for health care on healthcare.gov.
