WARNING: This episode is long on banter.  If you would like to skip the intro conversation and get right to the articles, skip ahead to 12:13.  Today we are joined by Dr. Jason Carr, pulmonary-critical care all-star, to talk about how often PE is present in patients with acute COPD exacerbations.  We also review more tocilizumab RCTs because they just keep coming.
