This is a story about the commonly-prescribed drug, Prednisone. In the United States, over a million people take this steroid to treat a wide variety of illnesses. This piece explores how and why this drug works, and the history of how it came to be developed.
It’s also the story of one family’s journey, and what they did when their young daughter got sick.
I produced this feature for the podcast, Distillations.
