When an airline pilot goes through training, he sits in a flight simulator...all of the stress but none of the danger. Emergency room teams...same deal. On this week’s Health Show we’ll sit in on an emergency room code simulation complete with a not so living but nonetheless breathing patient. We’ll also hear about a surprising condition for children: kidney stones. A fellow from as right of center think tank talks about health care reform and the public option. And then another kind of public option for health care...a clinic for musicians in New Orleans.

Kiddie Kidney Stones
With all the things you have to worry about with kids...this was probably way down on your list. But a combination of high sodium diets, sedentary lifestyles and not drinking enough water are contributing to an alarming phenomenon - kidney stones in children. Andi McDonnell has more.
Health Care Reform - The Public Option
As part of his sweeping health care reform package, President Obama has proposed what’s being called “the public option”...in effect a health insurance plan run by the government to compete with private health insurance companies. This prospect has, as you might imagine, not thrilled private health insurance companies. The Health Show’s Charlie Deitz spoke with Brian Murphy a Research Fellow from the American Institute for Economic Research.
The New Orleans Musicians Clinic
Some people have started another type of public option. Music is as much a part of New Orleans as any city in America. But most of the working musicians in New Orleans make so little money they can’t afford health care. The World Vision Report’s Lisa Morehouse found out there’s an organization trying to do something about that. It’s called the New Orleans Musicians Clinic.
