If you think that there's something necessary or good about medical licensing, you might want to tune in to this episode. In it, independent journalist Jeremy R Hammond and I demolish some of the myths around medical licensing. You might be surprised by what you hear.
Jeremy's articles on "Why Medical Licensing Should be Eliminated" can be found here and here.
