Episode description
Stepping back from doing things is the theme of the December 2017’s Archimedes podcast with questions of how not to engage in pointless practices at the forefront of our minds. Read about the lack of advantage of high-dose aspirin in Kawasaki disease here - http://adc.bmj.com/content/102/12/1180.1 - and follow-up x-rays for round pneumonia here - http://adc.bmj.com/content/102/12/1182 -, whose leading author, Patrick McCrossan (Paediatrics, Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children, Belfast, Northern Ireland, UK), is interviewed in this podcast.
The ADC Archimedes podcast, home of the best evidence-paediatrics chat, is presented by Bob Phillips, the Social Media and Archimedes Editor.
