Paul?

The guy who stole my diary has gone missing.

Yeah, I can't get there.

My thoughts are with his family, Paul.

That's a great one.

Thank you.

That was a...

If indeed, there are any. In fact, there are none. Pretty much, we aren't responsible if you screw up. You should always do your own homework and let us know when we're work. Welcome back to the curbsiders. I'm Dr. Matthew Frank Guado, here with my great friend

in America's primary care physician, Dr. Paul Nelson Williams. Hey, Paul. Hey, Matt. How are you?

I'm doing well, Paul. Tonight is a hotcakes episode. We have a great guest, Dr. Shani Herzig,

and of course, Dr. Rahulganatra is with us as always. Paul, would you remind people, what is it that we do on curbsiders, and why are we here tonight? Sure, Matt. As a reminder, we are the internal medicine podcast. We use expert interviews to bring your clinical pearls and practice changing knowledge, except as you mentioned, this is one of our hotcakes episode. So this time, the experts are not really us, me and you, Matt, but we actually do have some bona fide experts with us, including the great Dr. U. Holganacha or resident epidemiologist. We go through some articles that we thought were especially interesting or perhaps relevant to practice or just things that we wanted to talk about. And then we get to listen to smart people talk about how they think about those articles, which is always super educational. So as I mentioned, we are joined by Dr. Rahul, Kanacha. Rahul, how are you? I'm doing great. Paul, how are you? I'm good. Thank you for asking. Paul, I want to mention to the audience that I was in Boston this month and I got to see Rahul in person. Actually, I brought my whole

family to his house, which I apologize to you, Rahul, for my kids running all over the place.

It was perfect. He got to meet my family. I got to meet his wife. It was great. We got to talk

for a while. Rahul, my kids are like, Rahul is so nice. I'm like, yeah, why wouldn't he be? No, I had just cut up a honey-dew melon, and so I had like a bowl of fruit to offer. I think that really went over well. This is maybe the most wholesome thing I've ever heard. Yeah, no, I'd love to hang out with Rojole, but yeah, I also am not going to Boston anytime soon.

Well, Paul, that's your loss. But if you're ever in town, I would, I would just barge into his house with your family and just say hi.
