Episode 16 - Pneumothorax - when less is more

Welcome to IS-EMERCAST!. This is the partner and supplement to Med from the SHED – that highly useful resource on the net for Emergency Clinicians in the Illawarra-Shoalhaven. The perennial problem with trying to provide educational resources to a broad geographical area and a disparate group of clinicians always stumps us. Here is part of the answer. This podcast allows easily accessible clinical education and perspectives with a local flavour for those of us working in the Illawarra-Shoalhaven. It is brought to you by the Emergency Medicine Education and Training Program under the Auspices of the Australasian College for Emergency Medicine (ACEM) and funded by the Commonwealth Government. Whilst all efforts are made to ensure content is appropriate and up to date, all information and perspectives are those of the presenters themselves and do not represent the position of ACEM or Illawarra Shoalhaven Local Health District.
