Sanjay is a radiation oncologist at St. Joseph's Medical Center in Houston, Texas, where he's been in practice for more than 20 years. I wanted to have Sanjay on the podcast to talk about all things pertaining to radiation oncology, but also the history and some of the misconceptions around radiation exposure and radiophobia. You talk about some of the very interesting applications that I only learned about recently. That are very common outside of the United States.
That involve low dose radiation to treat inflammatory conditions and athletic injuries. Now, of course, those of you who are interested may recall that because this podcast is called The Drive, I do occasionally Talk about cars. And given that Sanjay and I have a shared passion for them and in fact that's how Sanjay and I met.
