Episode 129: Bruce Springsteen / Peptic Ulcer Disease

Today Ali and Asif discuss the career of the man, the myth, the legend, ‘The Boss’ Bruce Springsteen (2:03). They start off by discussing his early life growing up in New Jersey, his working class background, and how he feels somewhat like a ‘fraud’. Then they talk about his nickname ‘The Boss’ and how people call out “Bruuuuce” in his concerts. The guys then discuss famous covers of his songs and other trivia about Springsteen (Ali also tells a story about meeting Jake Clemons, from the E Street Band). They then each go over their favorite ‘hidden gems’ from Bruce Springsteen’s catalog.   Then Ali asks Asif about peptic ulcer disease (34:35), since Springsteen had to cancel several dates on his current tour because of complications of this disorder. Asif talks about what it is, how common it is and the main things that contribute to it, namely non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and infection with the bacteria Helicobacter Pylori. Asif then talks about the presenting symptoms and how your doctor would test for it. He then goes over the treatment for peptic ulcer disease.  The opinions expressed are those of the hosts, and do not reflect those of a ny other organizations.
