Why Your Doctor Will Not Order a Fasting Insulin Test (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A man in his 40s came to my emergency department on a Sunday morning with an abscess. We drained it, checked his blood sugar because of where the abscess was, and it came back at 440. He went home with antibiotics, metformin, and a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes he had no idea he had. A number like that takes years to arrive. For most of those years, a routine blood test would have looked normal. This episode is about why that happens, and about the one test on your panel that does not care what y
Stroke or Not? The 6 Signs You Cannot Wait On (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A 66-year-old woman wakes up to find her right arm weak and heavy. Not paralyzed, just not quite hers. She decides she slept on it funny. Three hours later, it gets better, almost completely, and that is exactly what convinces her she is fine. She came in later anyway. Her MRI showed a small stroke that had already happened. This is the second episode in the "ER or Wait?" series, and it is about the version of stroke that does not look like the version in your head. I give you the answer first,
GLP-1 Drugs: What an ER Doctor Wants You to Know (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A patient came into my emergency room vomiting 10 times a day, two days after a semaglutide injection. They had just increased their dose. When I asked why, they did not know. It was what the app told them to do. Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and the rest of the GLP-1 family are the biggest story in medicine right now, and the conversation around them has collapsed into two camps. Half the internet calls them a miracle. The other half calls them poison. Neither is being straight with you. So this ep
Forget 'Good' and 'Bad' Cholesterol. Here's What Matters (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Cardiovascular disease is the number one killer in the US and in Australia, and cholesterol is the most misunderstood set of numbers in medicine. On one side you have people insisting it does not matter at all. On the other you have people selling you a supplement to fix it. In this episode I take you through a standard lipid panel line by line. What each number actually measures, what the evidence really shows, and what your numbers mean for you rather than for a reference range on a page. I am
[Journal Club] Kidney Stone: No Needle, No CT? What 2 Trials Show (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A patient is writhing on the bed, unable to lie still, pale with the pain. It is the textbook picture of renal colic, and the classic reflex is an IV in the arm, intravenous pain medication, and a trip down the hall for a CT. But what if the typical patient does not need all of that? This is Overheard Journal Club, where I take a paper I love, break it down, and tell you how it makes me think about the way I practice. This episode breaks the usual format and pairs twocomplementary trials, becaus
