Junk science dominates our thoughts in this episode, our first recording in front of a live studio audience (the Introduction to Medical Education at Iowa students who were kind enough to join us). Cole Cheney, Alison Pletch, Keenan Laraway, and Eric Wilson talked about Dr. Mehmet Oz's recent troubles, including a New York M3 who asked the AMA and the NY Medical Association to step in. Also, Cole drops some new research knowledge on us about why pot makes people paranoid (hint--having a researcher stand over you asking you if you're paranoid might be another known cause of paranoia), and The Egyptian Army says it has cured HIV and hepatitis, or so they claim, using a simple point and shoot device that detects AND purifies the blood. But it needs a leeeeetle more testing...
