As a new regular series here at Texas Online Radio, we'll be bringing you episodes of Medical Discovery News, produced by the University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston. We'll explore all types of medical issues, options and information to help you live a healthier and more informed Texas lifestyle. Dr.'s Herzog and Niesel have done a great job with the podcasts, and I'm privileged to be able to bring them to you. Take a few minutes, they're not long shows, and become informed. Thanks to my new friend Sherry Jane Cooke, for getting me involved, you can contact her and learn more about the UTMB programs by clicking on the link here on the main website.
I'll be adding several each week... stay tuned!
