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
8 min listen
Preeclampsia (Critical Diagnosis): It’s time to start diving deep into the critical diagnoses of Emergency Medicine. Partially because I think we need to mix up the format every once in awhile to keep things interesting, but also because your attending will expect you to know the basics... by EM Clerkship
8 min listen
Breathing: Today is episode B in a series about our approach to the crashing patient. As we discussed in the previous episode, at some point during your clerkship, you will have a patient that starts dying right in front of your eyes. And it will be very scary! by EM Clerkship
8 min listen
Introduction: Today, I am very excited to announce that The Emergency Medicine Clerkship Podcast (and its affiliate website) are officially LAUNCHED!!! Over the next several weeks, I plan on streamlining and simplifying the technical side of my publishing process. by EM Clerkship
7 min listen
Tummy Ache: Today we are moving on to a completely new topic, we are going to be discussing a simple approach to pediatric GI complaints. I hope you enjoy it. The majority of this episode will be covering the life-threatening, 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
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
10 min listen
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
9 min listen
Pain Management: It’s definitely not the most exciting topic in emergency medicine, but it’s easily one of the most important. Every single shift you will be required to manage a patient’s pain. In this episode, we will be covering the 6 major pain medicines that you n... by EM Clerkship
10 min listen
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
10 min listen
BRUE (Pediatrics): Brief. Resolved. Unexplained. Events. A few months ago the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) released a set of guidelines on the management of a common pediatric condition formally known as ALTE (now known as BRUE). by EM Clerkship
10 min listen
Trauma: Trauma is easily the most interesting topic in all of emergency medicine. We might not see it quite as much as chest pain and abdominal pain, but trauma is certainly one of the top 10 things you will see most commonly on your clerkship. by EM Clerkship
9 min listen
Toxicology: Welcome to clerkship season! Over the next few months we will be going through the biggest, hugest, most important topics in emergency medicine. And today, we will be starting off with toxicology. After covering the general approach to a toxicology cas... by EM Clerkship
8 min listen
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
7 min listen
Leg Injury: Leg injury is one of the most common types of trauma we see in Emergency Medicine. The most important thing to remember about these types of injuries are the Ottawa rules. These are very VERY high yield. Learn them now and you will be well prepared for... by EM Clerkship
9 min listen
Burnout: Before we start clerkship season, we need to address the most important issue impacting emergency medicine: HALF of our physicians are experiencing burnout this year (Medscape). This is a huge problem. It leads to decreased speed, by EM Clerkship
7 min listen
Lung Injury: Injuries to the chest are one of the most common, most life-threatening, and most important injuries that occur during severe trauma. In this episode we will cover injuries to the lungs with a specific focus on the 3 life threatening diagnoses that mus... by EM Clerkship
10 min listen
Laceration (Evaluation): Laceration Repair is one of your core 3 procedures and is critical to master if you want to get a good SLOE. You have to very carefully consider if the wound should even be repaired at all! Otherwise it might get infected and the patient will have a ba... by EM Clerkship
10 min listen
Heart Injury: This week we are continuing our trauma series and talking about cardiac injury. There are 3 big diagnoses in this section that we will cover: cardiac tamponade, aortic dissection, and blunt cardiac injury. All 3 can kill your patient, by EM Clerkship
10 min listen
Chest Pain: Today I would like to teach you about the biggest, awesomest, most stereotypical chief complaint that there is in all of Emergency Medicine: chest pain. This is a huge topic on your shelf exam, and you really need to have an in-depth understanding of i... by EM Clerkship
10 min listen
Stroke (Critical Diagnosis): Today we are talking about the critical diagnosis of stroke. Specifically, we need to discuss what to do during ischemic strokes. And the most important thing to remember is that TIME IS BRAIN. If you ever suspect that your patient is having a stroke, by EM Clerkship
8 min listen
STEMI (Critical Diagnosis): We get hundreds of EKGs every day looking for ST elevation myocardial infarction. And when you finally see it, you have to know what to do. In 2013, the American Heart Association updated their STEMI management guidelines, by EM Clerkship
8 min listen
Face Injury: We are continuing our trauma series this week and will be discussing facial trauma. Severe injuries to the face sound complicated, but I promise you they’re not. In this episode we will cover the basic management of all facial trauma as well as the 6 m... by EM Clerkship
