Interview with Philip R. Reilly, M.D., author, “Orphan: The Quest to Save Children with Rare Genetic Disorders”
Dr. Reilly’s book, Orphan, is equal parts oral history and whodunit, and in his discussion with the host shares stories of genetic disease through the stories of researchers, physicians, patients, and family caregivers. This episode tells the story Reilly’s bleak days as a young physician-scientist early days as a physician where there was little available to treat rare genetic diseases, to the present where biomedical research advances give new hope to patients and their families.
