60 - Santa's Salmonella

For a special holiday treat, we're going to explore two tales of salmonella disease detectives -- the first about Mary Mallon ("Typhoid Mary") and the birth of the genre; and the second about a mysterious salmonella outbreak at Massachusetts General Hospital solved with the assistance of a very jolly patient. Along the way, we'll talk about clinical epidemiology, the long-lasting influence of Berton Roueché, and the joys of being an internist!
