In this episode, Rich and Pip discuss vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia and heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. They critique a recent paper that has shown that VITT has been around before vaccines against Covid-19. Importantly, they discuss which patients should be tested for spontaneous VITT- and HIT-like syndromes, and discuss a recent case.
The paper is: Schönborn L. et al. Anti-PF4 immunothrombosis without proximate heparin or adenovirus vector vaccine exposure. Blood. 2023 Dec 28;142(26):2305-2314.

In this episode, I talk to Sophie Evans. Sophie is an internal medicine trainee and budding haematologist in the southwest of England and has a real interest in the importance of stories in medicine. We met after she took part in the BSH Crucible Prize where she presented her ideas along with beautiful hand-drawn images on her slides. We discuss narrative-based medicine as well as graphic medicine. This is a really intriguing discussion that will change how you think about how you consult and I hope can change your practice for the better.

She mentions this book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Narrative-Based-Medicine-Trisha-Greenhalgh/dp/0727912232, Ian Williams, who coined the phrase "Graphic Medicine" (https://myriadeditions.com/creator/ian-williams/) and I mentioned a really interesting study on Evolution and the Art of Storytelling: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-017-02036-8
I hope you enjoy the show.
