2 Minute Medicine®
About this episode

We begin this episode by discussing our article of the week from the Annals of Internal Medicine and is entitled “Cardiovascular health of middle-aged US adults by income level, 1999 to March 2020: A serial cross-sectional study.” In the second half, we begin by discussing an increasingly popular procedure used in infants who are struggling with breastfeeding. Then we delve into the new findings that a hormone, GDF15, is linked to morning sickness. After this, we discuss ketamine, the drug that was implicated in the tragic passing of 'Friends' star Matthew Perry. Finally, we end with a conversation about the ongoing generic drug shortages occurring across the country. 

We are excited to share that the highly anticipated 2nd edition of our Classics in Medicine book is now available in stores and on Amazon! Buy your copy today at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/2zZnJt9
