When I was an intern I developed massive acute bronchospasm from exposure to cat dander. I ended up intubated in the ICU at one of my program’s teaching hospitals. Thanks to high dose steroids, I was extubated the next day. The nurse then handed me the phone to answer a call.
Retatrutide, a first-in-class GIP, GLP-1, and glucagon triple hormone receptor agonist, was studied in adults with obesity & at least one weight-related comorbidity and without diabetes.
Pts on 12 mg retatrutide lost an average of 70.3 lbs (28.3%) over 80 weeks with 45.3% of participants achieving ≥30% weight loss.
Individuals with a baseline BMI ≥35 who participated in a study extension continued to lose weight, and achieved up to an average of 85.0 lbs (30.3%) weight loss at 104 weeks.

The mean age of physicians who leave clinical practice in the US is now 48.1 years, 9 years younger than observed in a similar cohort in 2008.
