Well, in this episode we have a “3-in-1” subject review. Often in medicine, we find ourselves with some data to guide us, but definitely not a “predominance of evidence”. So in caring for our patients, we often come to the conclusion that doing a course of action can possibly help, and can't hurt... and therefore our plan “sounds reasonable”. That's the focus of our episode today! We're going to have fun with this one and cover three topics where we do have some data to guide us, but not our predominance of data that the dot leaving us to conclude that a plan of action “sounds reasonable”. 1. Can nitrous oxide be used for IUD/IUS insertion? 2. Should we follow total serum bile acids serially for ICP (new Jan 2025 data)? 3. And if IM Ceftriaxone is recommended as first-line RX for gonorrhea, can we give expedited partner therapy as an oral medication? Listen in for details!
