Dr. David Henry welcomes NBA power forward Mason Plumlee. Plumlee, who is now participating in the NBA's controlled COVID-19 environment, affectionately referred to as the "bubble," tested positive for COVID-19 before we knew that loss of taste and smell was a symptom.
In a wellness and intellectual change-of-pace episode, Plumlee joins Dr. Henry to talk about his background in medicine and biology, his experiences in the NBA bubble, and his time playing for Duke University.
