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

Preeclampsia (Critical Diagnosis): It’s time to start diving deep into the critical diagnoses of Emergency Medicine.

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
Head Injury: Over the next several weeks we are going to be doing a series of episodes on trauma. Starting today with head trauma. There are lots of critical diagnoses that you cannot miss with head injuries, and you need to order a CT head without contrast if you ... by EM Clerkship

Abdominal Pain: The most common chief complaint in Emergency Medicine is abdominal pain. Most students already have an understanding of the basic approach to this problem. We know to ask about fevers, palpate the abdomen, and give something for nausea. by EM Clerkship
9 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
10 min listen
Headache: Headache is one of the most common chief complaints that you will see on your clerkship. Luckily, it is also one of my favorite cases to evaluate. Why do I love it so much? Because I don’t need to be completely dependent on ancillary testing! by EM Clerkship
10 min listen
Altered Mental Status: AEIOU TIPS. This is easily one of the most important mnemonics of emergency medicine because it represents the differential diagnosis for altered mental status. Obviously, this is not meant to be an exhaustive list, by EM Clerkship
10 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

Patient Presentations: We are going to discuss a very important topic today. How do you give a good patient presentation to your attending? This is the single most important skill you need to develop on your clerkship. Your presentations need to be FOCUSED, THOROUGH, by EM Clerkship
8 min listen
Priapism: When I was on my clerkship, a few of my classmates had patients present to the emergency department with priapism. It’s not common. But even if you don’t get a case during your clerkship, you will certainly see one during residency. by EM Clerkship
7 min listen
Syncope: The key to understanding syncope is understanding who is at high risk and who can go home. Over the years, numerous different studies have been done looking at this topic. The easy way to remember the approach to syncope is 6-6-6. by EM Clerkship
10 min listen
Procedural Sedation: One of the most common procedures we do in the emergency department is procedural sedation. One doctor does the primary procedure, one doctor pushes meds and watches airway. There are 5 common medications that I have seen used in the ED. by EM Clerkship

81// 6 Most Common Causes of IBS: Do you have an IBS diagnosis? If so, you may know that it’s not a particularly specific diagnosis. It could be diarrhea, constipation, OR both. Plus the wide array of symptoms from bloating to anxiety, and beyond. IBS is, by nature, a catch-all diagnosis. You can find that IN the name - Irritable Bowel Syndrome. A syndrome, in the medical world, refers to a disease state with a recognizable pattern of symptoms but lacking in consistent or known causes. So if you have a syndrome, the cause is unknown, what can you do about it? (And what can you do about it instead of going on a diet like the Low FODMAP diet?) Do you have any hope of getting rid of it? In the case of IBS, the answer is a resounding YES.

27// How to Use the Hospital and Holistic Healthcare TOGETHER: A Case Study on my Recent Miscarriage: Today, I’d like to share a personal story with you about my recent pregnancy and miscarriage. This story encapsulates the ENTIRE reason I started the Better Belly Podcast. People don’t often hear real health stories. This aspect of health is somehow taboo! In reality, these stories happen every day, all the time. Maybe this isn’t a story that directly relates to you. If that is the case, I would encourage you to view this as more than just a story about my miscarriage. This is a story about having a health problem, trying to find answers through conventional and holistic healthcare, and what that means moving forward! One takeaway I hope you leave with is to KEEP looking for answers. by THE BETTER BELLY PODCAST - Natural Constipation Remedies, Acid Reflux, Hormones, Gut Health, Functional Medicine
