10 min listen
Airway: During your clerkship, you will be encountering sick patients. This is obvious. However, I promise that at least one of these patients will catch you VERY off guard. It usually goes like this, you are walking into a room, by EM Clerkship

Epistaxis: If you listened to the introduction episode, you heard my story about the patient with a bleeding nose. I had NO IDEA what to do. It was embarrassing. And that specific situation is what inspired the creation of this episode. Nosebleeds can be scary! by EM Clerkship

10 min listen

9 min listen
Circulation (Shock): Today is episode C, the final episode in our 3 part podcast series on the approach to a crashing patient. In previous episodes we covered AIRWAY: how the first thing we need to do is suction and move the posterior portion of the patient’s tongue. by EM Clerkship

10 min listen
Patient Encounters: During your clerkship, you will rapidly develop a flow for your shift. What do you do when you first pick up a chart? How much do you let your patients ramble? After you evaluate your patient, do you sprint at full speed straight to your attending? by EM Clerkship

10 min listen
Shortness of Breath: The most important thing to remember about shortness of breath is that you need to keep your thoughts and actions focused by using an organized approach. I recommend thinking anatomically. The differential diagnosis for this complaint is huge, by EM Clerkship
