Charlotte Talks on WFAE

We take a look at the way your home and business is valued today on Charlotte Talks. The way a home or business is appraised is a large factor in how your mortgage will work, the taxes on your home and on how much you can borrow on the property. North Carolina is in the midst of an appraisal scandal and the rules may undergo a complete overhaul. We'll learn all about the appraisal system from a panel of experts. Guests John Bosworth - Certified Appraiser, Commercial, John Bosworth and Associates Robert Ipock - NC Certified Residential Real Estate Appraiser

"The Ralph Nader of Medicine" is the guest on the next edition of Charlotte Talks. Dr. Fred Ernst will join us to talk about his new book, Truth, Lies, and the O.R. The book is a primer on anesthesia, surgery and surgeries done in office settings that seeks to educate people when making decisions about medical procedures. We'll talk about all of that and about awareness under general anesthesia, malpractice issues and more on the next Charlotte Talks. Guest Dr. Fred Ernst - Author, Truth, Lies, and the O.R.
