Description
This week on the podcast, (2.02) a listener asks, when we suggest something to stop, should we suggest an alternative instead?
(8.24) Helen tells us to stop putting people on treatment for subclinical hypothyroidism, but what does that mean for people who are already receiving thyroxine?
(20.55) Carl has a black box warning about z drugs, and wonders what the alternative for sleep are.
(30.11) Finally the NEJM has published Jeff Drazen's dozen most influential papers - but not a systematic review amongst them. Cue the rant.
