Cold medicine

They need a referral to switch to an ARB.

Speaking of cough syrups, if we've ruled out the red flags and the patient just wants relief, the evidence base for over-the-counter cough medicines is genuinely shocking.

I mean, we need to talk about the pharmacology here because it feels like we are just selling placebos.

Honestly, the clinical evidence is exceptionally weak.

It's late.

My cold medicine is wearing off, and you really do not want to hear me start yelling about my opinions on state-sanctioned murder.

That's why I'm drawing this out, because we do.

We do want to see what happens.

Let's go to, where's Uncle Joey been? Uncle Joey's here every single Thursday, pretty much.

But today, today I got to, you know, did I cold medicine? Did I just say what I think I said? I hope I said where the F is.

i don't know if i did somebody let me know in the chat oh my goodness there we go all right I got, uh, replaced once by a bunch of people in India.

Life happens.

But what is the answer? No, okay.

That's what I mean.

You start taking the cold medicine.

You're like, your brain doesn't function the way it usually does.

So maybe that's that's where it is.

Or maybe it's the cold medicine.

I don't know.

Maybe it's the subject matter for today.

I still haven't bought that CD player, but I plan to.

Um, I've opened my cold medicine now.

Ah, getting closer.

You still have like three more hours.

Okay.

Okay, I just couldn't handle it.

I had to go ahead and take that cold medicine now, four and a half hours before I was supposed to.

I'll be okay, right?

[laughs]

And I'm trying to get better before I leave on my trip to Scotland, but I cannot vouch for what I'm gonna say, you know, rip to the tits on Cold Medicine.

[laughs] I'm so sorry.

Well, w- we maybe should rip into the tits-

Sorry.

Must say, that cough syrup's really working.

It's...

I'm feeling much better than I was last week.

Oh, the Walgreens, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, y- y- g- I, I don't know if you remember your mother say, "You get what you pay for." Um, but yes, young man, you get what you pay for.

You buy Walgreens, uh, uh, cough syrup and, you know, you cough more.

It's, it's good.
