Trauma in Gaza

KPFA - The Ralph Nader Radio Hour

Ralph welcomes Dr. Feroze Sidhwa, an American trauma surgeon who worked at the European Hospital in Khan Younis. He discusses his experience on the ground in Gaza, as well as his letter (co-signed by 45 other American medical practitioners) to President Biden, Vice President Harris, and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden. Then, Ralph is joined by University of Chicago Booth School of Business Professor Luigi Zingales to look at why business schools are setting up capitalism to fail.
