Trivia Question: Send answers to [email protected]

Last month we asked you a trivia question regarding Wellens syndrome. It was a 2-part question and we asked: Who is Wellens syndrome named after and in what year did he co-author the paper that describes what we now know as Wellens syndrome? The answer was: Cardiologist Dr. Henrich Wellens described, with his co-authors, what we now know as Wellens syndrome in 1982 in the American Heart Journal. The winner this month is Mike Sprosty, PA. Mike actually came to our live Original Emergency Medicine Boot Camp in July! It was great to meet him. Maybe he’ll use the prize to check out another one of Center for Medical Education courses, or he’ll give it to a friend.

Be sure to keep tuning in for more great prizes and fun trivia questions! Once you hear the question, please email us your guesses at [email protected] and tell us who you want to give a shout-out to.
