ABC News Medical Editor Signs Books at Emory

Dr. Richard Besser, the chief medical editor for ABC News, visited Emory University Monday night to talk about and sign his new book, "Tell Me The Truth, Doctor."

The event was something of a homecoming as old friends welcomed him at the school's Barnes & Noble bookstore.

Before taking the TV job, Besser worked years at the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, serving as interim director for a period.

The book has plain-English answers to 67 common questions about health, such as:

• "Can I Be Fat and Fit?"

• "Do Adults Need Shots?"

• "Is A Drink Or Two A Day Good For Me?'

• "Can Drinking Diet Soda Make Me Gain Weight?"

• "Should I Rinse Chicken Before Cooking It?"
