Listen "Time to ditch the blue puffer for asthma"
Episode Synopsis
A major change has been made to Australia's asthma guidelines, but how long will it take everyone to catch on?
Also, we know daily aspirin for the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease isn't beneficial, but a new study shows there might be risks.
And should the one-time blood test for lipoprotein(a) be free for everyone?
