Episode 39! In this episode we talk about steroids in septic shock from community acquired pneumonia - a secondary from the APROCCHSS trial.

We're live from ATS! We decide to format our episode after the NEJM/JAMA/ATS combined session and talk about the articles presented there. Some of them we've talked about before but provide new insights from listeners and questions from the audience. Some of them are new and we provide our thoughts from the presentations (not enough time to fully read the articles)

The one article we skip is ASTER that was published in JAMA by Ware et al during the conference. We want to spend a little more time on that one (and potentially have an author as a guest)! Stay tuned!
