The Trust Diagnosis

Hi, it's Terry Gross, host of Fresh Air. Hey, take a break from the 24-hour news cycle with us and listen to long-form interviews with your favorite authors, actors, filmmakers, comedians, and musicians, the people making the art that nourishes us and speaks to our times. So listen to the Fresh Air podcast from NPR and WHYY. Bushkin. I have a friend named Dan.

I've known him for years. He's in his seventies, lives outside Washington, D.C. He's in the crisis communications business. Companies call him in when they have a big problem. In fact, that's how I met him.

I was working on a story about one of his cases, and he called me up. Dan and I talk all the time. And last of all, he said something to me in passing about having to go for a bunch of tests. He didn't say why. It didn't seem like a big deal.
