In episode 279, James and Mike invite Jon Ference to talk all about how he works smarter and not harder to answer clinical questions. During the podcast Jon exposes Mike’s and James’ ignorance on a number of things but we tolerate it because based on the best available evidence he seems like a nice guy.

In episode 277, James and Mike finish off with the charming Adrienne Lindblad by discussing the issue of OCD and we discuss that it can be very debilitating and that some medications do have an effect but they also can cause side effects. At the end we all count to 100 backwards by 7s a dozen times – just for fun.
