We discuss the indications for the PIT, how it should be applied and the evidence supporting it's use, all while attempting to keep Matt's passion for the topic under control.

Thanks so much! This was a topic that I didn’t think initially would interest me. I was surprised! OD’s on vape liquids are likely something that could become more prevalent with the increase in vape usage. Great work guys! Fi and Tinesh would both be chuffed at the shout out. Well done. Great listen. I will spread the word!
