PRE HOSPITAL CARE SETTINGS
Hi! I'm a new subscriber. I live in the Philippines. I really love your Rapid Bomb podcast. For the past 2 years we are being drilled with pre hospital care questions in our in service exam. Can you do some topics or high yield questions, or even study guides regarding PRE HOSPITAL CARE. Our training in EM residency here in the Philippines is purely Tintinalli based, other than our local guidelines. Thank you and more power to your podcast.
Malfunctioning pacemaker
In a non-hospital environment such as a cruise ship, how can I handle a situation where a patient has a malfunctioning pacemaker that is continuously firing and causing them pain? i hope you can make an episode regarding this topic. Thank you and more power to your podcast!
