Doctors, nurses, and hospital staff have seen scores of COVID-19 patients pass away in the past year and a half. They've endured brutally long hours at the hospital. But now, they're up against a different kind of challenge: unvaccinated patients who are in denial about their condition or refuse to accept doctors' advice.

On today's episode, you'll hear from a doctor whose widely-shared Facebook post detailed his frustrations with trying to fight the misinformation he hears from patients.

GUEST: Dr. Matthew Trunsky, pulmonologist with Beaumont Hospital in Troy
