In this video, Motley Fool analysts and editors David Williamson and Andrew Tonner sit down and catch up on how the week treated health-care stocks.

In this edition, four biotech companies dominated the news.

We highlight key takeaways from each event and lend our opinion on what investors should be looking at going forward.
