#185 Hotcakes: Updates on CAP, Asthma & Red Meat!
“Guidelines” galore! From Community-Acquired Pneumonia to asthma to...red meat? While you may be listening to this around Thanksgiving, we actually recorded on October 30th‒the best and spookiest time of the year. To really set the mood I wanted to include some terrible skeleton puns, but the ones I found weren’t humerus. What we do have for you are some tasty knowledge treats, courtesy of our ghosts‒oops, I mean our HOSTS‒Chris, Matt, Stuart and Paul. Join us as we review the most terrifyingly relevant research findings and creepiest clinical pearls!
Today also marks the debut of our newest Hotcakes team member, the frighteningly talented Dr. Rahul Ganatra. Rahul will now be our resident statistician/study design expert, and will use his research skulls‒no wait, SKILLS‒to provide even more insight into the practice-changing findings we love to highlight for you.
