Ben had a brilliant idea to associate gout with St. Patrick's Day because of drinking and corned beef that occurs in Ireland; this hypothesis was proven to be false within the first few minutes of actually talking about gout. Gout, which was once known as the "Disease of Kings" because only the rich could afford the poor diet rich in meats and alcohol. The guys cover assessment, diagnosis, prevention, treatment, and Tom's own personal experience with this affliction. In "Stories You May Have Missed", the guys discuss whom is being targeted in one state as the kingpin of the opioid crisis. so get your green on, eat some corned beef and cabbage, and enjoy this episode all about gouty arthritis.

Ben & Tom have been teasing a big announcement on social media for the last week and here it is. They have partnered with Helium Internet Radio to syndicate the podcast into a radio show. It will be on the Helium After Dark Station on www.heliumradio.com as well as the Helium Radio app on Thursdays pm/8 Central. You will still be able to find the podcast wherever you listen to podcasts. But because it's a new 7 figure audience we are welcoming, we wanted to do a reintroduction of ourselves and the podcast.

At a listener suggestion, we discuss things cardiology for Valentine's Day. Ben and Tom welcome Jen, Cardiology NP, to the show. We discuss referring to cardiology, testing that needs done before sending to cardiology, and where does cardiology refer too when they need to. Broken Heart Syndrome is examined as well. We end on some weird cardiac cases that Ben, Tom, and Jen have seen in their careers. You'll likely notice that Tom sounds better and you'll hear why. We enjoyed having Jen on the show and we think you'll enjoy it as well. 4StateAPN Conference - http://4stateapn.enpnetwork.com
