How ”The Death of Patient Zero” helped push the boundaries of modern medicine.

“It was the moment we were waiting for and the moment we dreaded.” So begins “The Death of Patient Zero,” a story that broke all boundaries and preconceptions—about how we attack cancer; how the most advanced medical care, science, and hopes can fall short; how a writer can fast find himself testing the ethical limits of journalism; and how the love of a single, humble woman—Stephanie Lee—can change so many lives. Esquire writer at large Tom Junod and executive editor Mark Warren join host David Brancaccio to discuss what fueled “The Death of Patient Zero,” and how neither of them—or the nascent science behind genomic medicine—will ever be the same again.
