AMIRIGHT?! 

Punny title aside, this week we discuss another of Cory's family medication issues. This time, an aunt has been on omeprazole for 6 years...and she's not sure why she's still taking it...or was on it in the first place. Does this scenario sound familiar?

Cory then takes a dive into the possible long term consequences of PPI use, and we go deeper into the world of inappropriate medication use. Zaq suggests that if a patient is unsure about why they are taking a medication, they should call their doctor's office. Cory aggresively counters that another health professional that has extensive training in medications may be of use as well...

This week's episode comes with a bonus PPI reference!
