Fresh Air, Season 2, Episode 4: Smoking-Related Interstitial Fibrosis (SRIF) Article Discussion

This is episode 4 of season 2 our educational series in which thoracic pathologists chat about topics in the field (pathology of the lung, thymus, mediastinum and pleura). The doctors in this discussion are Dr. Sharada Nagoti from India, ace pulmonary pathologist from Barcelona, Spain, Dr. Irene Sansano, Mayo clinic-trained thoracic pathologist Dr. Raghavendra Pillappa from Virginia Commonwealth University and technical wizard (and textbook author) Dr. Matt Cecchini from London, Ontario, Canada. This week we discuss a paper that was published in Am J Clinical Pathology by Susan Vehar and colleagues. Here's the link:

These chats are informal, casual, educational and engaging. Most important: this is NOT a series of boring lectures where one person drones on for 60 minutes. We're just thinking out loud and sharing our thought process, and we hope that pathologists and even other doctors, patients and members of the public will learn something useful from these chats.

Dr. Matthew Cecchini (Twitter handle: @Path_Matt) is a medical doctor and pulmonary pathologist in Ontario, Canada.
