The Pitt's Big Night and Modernizing Migraine Relief

Friday, September 18, 2026

In today's episode, Dr. Alok Patel (@AlokPatelMD) & Eva Johnson cover new migraine prevention guidelines that put CGRP targeted therapies up front as first line options without requiring older drugs first. They explain who qualifies at four or more headache days per month, how to assess response after 8 to 12 weeks, and safety notes for pregnancy. They also break down The Pitt's second Emmy run, with 25 nominations and back to back wins for Noah Wyle and Outstanding Drama. Plus: rising rabies exposures, an MRSA outbreak tied to bouncy castles, and more.
