Tina Turner tragic death
Before her tragic death, iconic singer Tina Turner shared a health warning that could inspire others to avoid some of the issues she faced — and also serves as a timely rebuke of the country's public health eduaction and medical system.
"If I had known how high blood pressure and kidney disease are connected," the late performer wrote in an Instagram post roughly three months before her passing last month, "I would have been spared a lot of suffering."
Lisa Fitzpatrick, a physician and medical epidemiologist, points out in a piece for Forbes that it's a damning indictment of the healthcare system's failure to prioritize health communication and medical literacy.
