Confession: we have been holding out on you. Specifically, we’ve been sitting on a special episode of Hotcakes and Hot Takes that we recorded this March, with featured guest Armand Gottlieb, MD of the online publication The Scope. But here it is! We hope you’ll enjoy our discussion of topics like the ever-controversial e-cigarettes for smoking cessation question, outcomes related to antibiotic treatment of UTIs among elderly adults, and the role of sacubitril-valsartan for acute decompensated heart failure in inpatient settings (the PIONEER-HF study). Special guest is Dr. Armand Gottlieb @ArmandGottlieb, who was a third year internal medicine resident at Columbia University Medical Center in New York City at the time of recording. He is a co-Editor of the The Scope, a free and brief weekly roundup of the most recent and relevant medical literature.
