They came without warning, they
emptied cities, they rewrote
00:00:04.230 --> 00:00:05.729
the course of civilization.
00:00:06.490 --> 00:00:06.959
I'm Dr.
00:00:06.959 --> 00:00:10.540
Keith Sumi, a practicing ER
doctor who spent my career on
00:00:10.540 --> 00:00:11.929
the front lines of medicine.
00:00:12.580 --> 00:00:17.050
But long before I ever picked up a
stethoscope, I was obsessed with a
00:00:17.050 --> 00:00:21.100
question: How do the worst outbreaks
in human history actually happen?
00:00:21.609 --> 00:00:24.959
And why do we keep
making the same mistakes?
00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:27.410
This is Plagues with Dr.
00:00:27.410 --> 00:00:27.860
Keith.
00:00:28.400 --> 00:00:33.269
Every episode, we go into one of history's
most devastating pandemics, the science
00:00:33.270 --> 00:00:38.579
of how they spread, the history of how
societies responded, and the sociology of
00:00:38.629 --> 00:00:42.250
those who survived, who didn't, and why.
00:00:42.549 --> 00:00:47.739
From the Black Death to the 1918 flu,
from cholera to COVID, I'll bring you
00:00:47.939 --> 00:00:54.849
medicine only as a doctor can explain it,
and the human story behind the numbers.
00:00:55.329 --> 00:00:57.940
If you've ever wondered what
really happens when disease
00:00:58.219 --> 00:01:00.809
meets society, this is your show.
00:01:01.309 --> 00:01:02.440
Plagues with Dr.
00:01:02.440 --> 00:01:06.789
Keith, new episodes wherever
you get your podcasts.
