#420 Recap Extravaganza: 2023 Highlights and Top Stories

Join us as we recap various topics discussed throughout the year, including hormonal and non-hormonal therapy for menopause symptoms, hemochromatosis, evaluation and management of hematuria, updates in diabetes management (insulin, GLP1 agonists, SGLT2 inhibitors, hypoglycemia), xylazine overdose and withdrawal, primary aldosteronism, resistant hypertension, delirium, and its implications, the ACORN trial on AKI risk with pip-tazo vs. cefepime, the REPRIEVE trial on statin therapy in patients with HIV, inpatient heart failure management, the implications of kratom use, and the effectiveness of RSV vaccines. Plus, Paul Williams (@PaulNWilliamz), Rahul Ganatra (@rbganatra), Nora Taranto (@norataranto), and Matt Watto (@doctorwatto) share their picks of the year and take a moment to reflect on their gratitude for the fans and the opportunity to work on Curbsiders.

Our team needed a break so we did not make CME for this episode.
