Did you see the major FDA news this week?! 💣 It's so exciting to see the removal of inaccurate black box warnings on products (we're looking at you, vaginal estrogen). 🌠What EXACTLY did the FDA do, you ask? Neda's here to break it down for you. 👏

Not everybody is jumping for joy at everything the said this week, though. Some in the medical community are worried this will minimize any of the actual risks of menopausal hormone therapy for certain groups. 💊 What are your thoughts??? 👩‍⚕️

The population’s aging fast. But the education system? It hasn’t caught up.

Polypharmacy. Mobility loss. Cognitive decline. Transitions of care that slip through the cracks. We see it every day—and most of us were never taught how to handle it.

That’s why we created In Their Prime: A Geriatrics Audio Course, with 9+ hours of clear, practical, multidisciplinary geriatrics education.

Gain confidence in managing the complexity of aging care.

♥️ Handle meds, memory, and mobility with confidence and compassion.
🎧 Listen on-the-go.
🩺 Care for older adults, anywhere you practice.

Because great care doesn’t end with the discharge summary—it keeps pace with the people aging right in front of us. Check out the link in our bio to learn more.

What's YOUR practice when people say they can't take statins??? 💊We address this tricky question with cardiologist Stan Liu this month on Primary Care RAP, but here's the TL;DR. 👏

Some is statin is better than no statin when patients really need it, so try stuff. Switch it up, lower the dose, go every other day. Do what you gotta do. ⭐

When Gunnar Esiason was 27, he participated in a clinical trial that would change his life.💙 His story - a story of what it's like to be a human research participant, and how clinicians can advocate and support our patients - can be heard this month on The Monthly Rounds 🎙️and seen on the Hippo Education YouTube channel. 📺

The drug Gunnar received as a research participant made all of his cystic fibrosis symptoms - that he’d been living with for decades - disappear in a matter of days.👏 That medication, Trikafta, went on to be approved by the FDA for the treatment of cystic fibrosis in 2019. His whole story is the subject of a recent ESPN documentary called ‘Second Wind.' 🏈

At the 2025 Annual Gold Humanism Summit,🥇 Hippo Education’s own Neda Frayha was invited to join Gunnar Esiason and Dr. Kathy Reeves, a pediatric hospitalist and the CEO and President of the Arnold P. Gold Foundation, in a live podcasting session about the human side of medical breakthroughs.✨ Watch this conversation in its entirety on YouTube, or listen this month on The Monthly Rounds on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. 🎙️

Here's one that could conceivably happen as part of the Halloween craziness we're all prepping for! 🎃

The question is: WHY this code? "Head injury" isn't enough anymore? I mean, if you don't put the word "lamppost" in your code..did it ever even happen?! ❓

Also, why does it matter to the payers if it was a lamppost or, say, a telephone pole? These are the questions that keep us up at night.

If your neighborhood is anything like ours, these guys are working overtime. 💀 And they're in good company - between kids class parties, costume snafus, and work sometimes our homes feel like a skeleton crew! ☕
