November 2022: Top Doctors
November is our Top Doctors issue, and this year—in addition to our popular list of best physicians in the state—we take a look at some of the latest issues affecting health in New Jersey.
Leslie Garisto Pfaff has an incisive article looking at medical disinformation and the need to counter it, especially when it comes to Covid-19. Untruths, half-truths and lies have made it harder for public health officials to get their messages across, amplifying an existing distrust of public health institutions and leading to unnecessary illness and death on a significant scale.
In another story, we look at the troubling mental health problems that have arisen during the pandemic, and how many Covid patients are now dealing with long-term anxiety, stress and other disturbing behavioral issues. Public health officials believe the subject deserves to be studied in-depth.
