Welcome to the American Family Physician Podcast for the December 15th, 2017 issue.

I'm Evan.

I'm Jake.

I'm Joanna.

I'm Sue.

We are residents and faculty, mostly residents, from the University of Arizona College of Medicine

Phoenix Family Medicine residency program. Today on the podcast, we're going to talk about

chronic kidney disease, precision medicine, palpitations, we'll do a poem on gabapentin for

low back pain and vision screening in children.

But don't stop there.

Stick around for some of our favorite holiday ICD 10 codes too.

The opinions expressed in the podcast are our own and do not represent the opinions

with the American Academy of Family Physicians, the Editor of American Family Physician,

or Banner Health.

Do not use this podcast for medical advice.

Instead, see your own family doctor for medical care.

The USPSDF concludes that the evidence is insufficient to assess the balance of benefits

and harms of routine screening in asymptomatic adults. And the ACP and AAPP recommend against

screening in asymptomatic adults without risk factors. If you are going to

screen, please skip that 24-hour urine collection. Tell me we are not routinely doing this anymore.
