2 Minute Medicine®
About this episode

We begin with a discussion about our article of the week from the BMJ, entitled prenatal opioid exposure and subsequent risk of neuropsychiatric disorders in children: nationwide birth cohort study in South Korea.

In the second half, we start off by talking about the risks and benefits of vampire facials. Then we discuss the importance of raising awareness about the fentanyl crisis. After that, we take a look at the implications of marijuana reclassification. Finally, we go over new findings about the safety of hormonal therapy for menopause. 
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
