W.U. grad talks about getting doctors to listen

[Sherman A1]

Dr. Leana Wen graduated from Washington University's medical school in 2007. Soon after, she was picked to travel to Africa and write a blog with New York Times columnist Nick Kristof.

She became a Rhodes scholar and now she's a Harvard fellow and senior emergency resident at Brigham & Women's and Massachusetts General Hospital.

Apparently Wen never sleeps because she's also co-author of a new book, "When Doctors Don't Listen."

This morning Wen will be a guest on the Diane Rehm show on NPR (10 a.m. at 90.7 FM).
