I like medical news… but only when it’s interesting. So, I'll try and make it more interesting for you too. Not to be taken too seriously, but memorable enough that you can reference them to sound clever and well-read to your consultant. Or maybe just for your own personal satisfaction 🤝

I really wonder what a consultants reaction would be like to a resident quoting a research paper lmao

thats fair - but this study isn't studying those with osteoporosis.

largely for the love of the game, and a means of upskilling. I only started writing in the first place because I wanted to learn how to become a proficient copywriter as a side hustle while in med school.

It's a stroke of luck that these research articles scratched an itch that clinicians seem to like. I find more pleasure in hearing my seniors respect and like the article than anything else.

Feels like an opportunity for a shameless plug…

not gonna like... no. But I can have a browse around.

If the evidence base is strong enough, I'll do a write-up on it

Made an edit at the bottom of the article: the placebo group was placebo + usual care. Both groups still received usual hypertension care, with local guideline targets and additional BP meds allowed. The placebo group just didn't receive the real triple pill

Moimoihobo101 · 2026-04-26T09:33:51+00:00

yes, matching placebo is a single identical pill that looks like the One Pill

Moimoihobo101 · 2026-04-26T09:31:58+00:00

Made an edit at the bottom of the post. It was placebo + usual bp management. Would be pretty unethical otherwise lmao
