This is a great informational video for clinicians on how to approach heat and address it in their practice as well as through advocacy and policy work. Thank you NEJM and all involved in this, especially Dr. Barzilay and Dr. Sorensen. I will certainly be using this in my climate education sessions with trainees.

You’d reach more people if you delete the first minute and republish it.
Historical accuracy and the accounting of world temperatures turns off some patients, and you really want to keep their attention so you can support them.
