Question 8

In the podcast it says after 2IM epi, you start a drip- which is what I do in my practice as well. However, one of my Rosh or Peer9 questions said that after IM, you should try a bolus IV dose of 0.1mg in 10ml NS bag, followed by a drip if that doesn't work... any credebility in that?

Abdominal pain or Adominal pain

Three ask me anything questions: 1. I've always been curious if Blake says the B after the A in abdominal pain 2. Is there a way to synchronize the audio during each pod because I've noticed the audio levels vary quite a bit and sometimes it's a bit hard to understand during drives in the car. 3. How can I get involved with pods or content creation? Would like to contribute as a new attending learning soooooo much about community medicine after training in an ivory tower :)
