This is not an easy episode. It's not easy because a doctor gets named in a lawsuit, a patient has a bad outcome, and it openly discusses some of the systems failures we have in medicine. If that's enough to turn you off, close the page and go about your day. You'll probably be happier for it. 

Still here? Well, here's what we've got... Cam Berg is arguably one of the brightest stars in emergency medicine (or all of medicine if you ask me.) Even that level of excellence, however, didn't stop Cam from being named in a lawsuit when a patient had a catastrophic outcome. This case involves a series of events that include: hypertension, IV hydralazine for asymptomatic hypertension, boarded patients, stroke, thrombolytics, brain bleeds, and the collateral effects of getting sued.
