About this listen

"My Cousin Has That" is what some people say when hearing of a medical condition. Not in a helpful way when followed up with "and she died when she was 21". Not what you want to hear if you or someone you love has that condition. Associate Professor Joshua Ooi and Dr Julie Monk discuss autoimmune disease and potential curative treatments, alongside more compassionate options for when you hear of someone with a medical condition.
