In episode 388, Mike and James go over with Adrienne Lindblad the evidence for a simple treatment for nausea and vomiting in the ER. Who knew that inhaling isopropyl alcohol worked for nausea and vomiting? – possibly as good as the medications we have used in the past. At the end of the podcast we decide to attach isopropyl alcohol swabs to all our microphones all the time, just in case.

The Best Science (BS) Medicine Podcast is a weekly presentation where practitioners can get evidence-based drug therapy content that is practical, entertaining and promotes healthy scepticism. In essence, we are the Medication Mythbusters. We present information that is useful and relevant to physicians, pharmacists, nurses, physician assistants and other health professionals, and that can easily be incorporated into day-to-day practice. The podcast is presented by Dr. James McCormack, Professor in the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of British Columbia and Dr Michael Allan, Associate Professor in the Department of Family Practice at the University of Alberta.
