In today's episode, we talk to Dr. Cassandra Bradby, the residency director for emergency medicine at Vidant Medical Center in Greenville, North Carolina. She shares how medical education for emergency medicine residents in the hospital changed due to the pandemic, as well as the fear patients had of the virus, so much so that fewer patients were coming into the emergency room, despite the fact that the rates of fatal conditions like heart attack and stroke were unaffected. She also shares insight into the practice of emergency medicine as a whole. Dr. Bradby is a physician I've known for about 3 years now, and I remember the first time I met her, was a premed club meeting where she presented emergency medicine case studies. I remember how confident and passionate she was as she talked, which was ultimately what inspired me to reach out to her three years later. I hope you enjoy :)
