And as always, we end with a quote from Alexis de Tocqueville, the eminent social and political philosopher:

“….and if I were asked, now that I am drawing to the close of this work, in which I have spoken of so many important things done by the Americans, to what the singular prosperity and growing strength of that people ought mainly to be attributed, I should reply: To the superiority of their women.”

In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Ruth McClelland-Nugent, PhD, a pop culture historian, Associate Professor and Chair of History, Anthropology, and Philosophy,  at Augusta University.

As always, as Tocqueville writes,

“There are two things which a democratic people will always find very difficult—to begin a war, and to end it.”

In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Neil MacKinnon, PhD, Provost of Augusta University. A pharmacist, Provost MacKinnon has practiced in both the community and hospital settings. He is a fellow and a past president of the Canadian Society of Hospital Pharmacists. In 2010, he co-authored a national bestselling book in Canada with a primary care physician called Take As Directed. His fourth book, on the opioid crisis, will be published in late 2021.

Before the COVID-19 Pandemic struck, most of the US was focusing on what was, at the time, the most pressing public health issue: the opioid epidemic. Dr. MacKinnon and Dr. Albert discuss this crisis in the US, concentrating on what it is, why it is such an epidemic, as well as what can be done to alleviate the crisis.

Thank you, Dr. MacKinnon!
