Core idea

Shows that shorter oral NAC regimens can still prevent liver failure in selected patients.

Why it stuck

Makes me quietly question every default 72-hour order set I see in the EMR.

My take

Peak pharmacist energy is reading this and immediately wanting four new hospital protocols and a QI project.
