About this episode

In the first half of this episode we cover our article of the week which comes from  the New England Journal of Medicine and is entitled “Invasive Treatment Strategy for Older Patients with Myocardial Infarction.“ In the second half, we start with a discussion about Jamie Foxx’s hemorrhagic stroke that led to his 2023 hospitalization. Then we take a closer look at how paracetamol might have a more serious side-effect profile than previously believed. After that, we examine the battle between the FDA and vaping in the Supreme Court. Finally, we discuss the coffee and tea’s protective effects against head and neck cancer.
