Description
Dr. Bruce Rabin, or "Dr. Stress" as he is known to many in the media and his medical colleagues, prefers to focus his research on maintaining health, rather than concentrating on disease treatment. As a professor at the University of Pittsburgh Medical School and medical director of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Healthy Lifestyle Program, Dr. Rabin has found that stress - a factor that occurs in everyone's daily life, and is a constant topic of conversation - exerts a profound influence on the human immune system and subsequently on health.
