Abstract
This year marks the 28th anniversary of my involvement as a medical journalist in television, the first 14 years part time, the last 14 full time as medical editor of ABC News. I here reflect on my experiences in this field, including the dramatic changes that have occurred in medicine and the media during the past quarter century and some of the issues that have emerged from the interplay between these two rapidly changing professions.Keywords
