Episode 132 | Dr. Arthur Yee on the history of sarcoidosis and a call out to rheumatologists everywhere

Dr. Arthur Yee of Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City, believes rheumatologists are uniquely qualified to treat Sarcoidosis -- yet many of them shy away from sarc patients.  In this episode of the FSR Sarc Fighter Podcast, Dr. Yee explains why sarc patients can be scary to doctors.  He also looks at the history of Sarcoidosis and the treatment patterns that have evolved over time.  He also explains what beryllium miners have in common with people who have had tattoos -- and how all of that relates to sarcoidosis.
