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.

#5 HaemBase, Buku Medicine, and the future of healthcare with Tom Bull And Alex Langridge
In this episode, I talk to Tom Bull, of HaemBase.com and Alex Langridge of Buku Medicine. Both soon to be consultant haematologists, Tom and Alex have set up amazing online resources for medical education. We talk about their projects, as well as the future of haematology and medicine as a whole. This is really thought provoking and something not to miss.
