Like many other "adult diagnosis" Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome is something we see in the Pediatric ER more and more of. That is why I invited Biren to come on the show and talk to us about this condition. 

What is fever? and do we always have to treat it? how much attendant should the triage level get and what can we do to learn (and teach) better? 

What happens when you are a "general practitioner" but are passionate about Emergency Medicine or PEM. Listen to Dr. Allen Herman's story on practicing Emergency Medicine despite completing his training in Family Medicine. 

Though teaching is something I love doing, sometimes teaching PEM to an ED resident is challenging (for many reasons). Dr. Steven Nazario has been a physician and an educator for many years which is why I invited him on the show to talk about the challenges of teaching PEM to EM residents. 

Here is the link to the Video Stephen was referring to. The EKG Changes of hyperkalemia.

Newborns are small and examining them the “right way” does not take much and is worth doing, and why it is important (and helpful) to look at Pediatric Emergency Medicine as Simple.

The further away I am from my general pediatric training the more I forget how to manage chronic complaints and “primary care like” presentations. That is why I brought Dr. Noah Makovsky again to help us (PEM clinicians) do a better job with those patients.

Sometimes enemas are not just for treatment only. Why is it important to keep making decision and not dwell and contemplate for too long and what is the best thing to do after intubations.

We all meet some people in our life that inspire us to do better. For me Dr. Ellen Fitzpatrick is one of those people. Listen to her truly amazing life story. 

Why is it useful to sometimes “consult” with your patient’s parents. What tests you should really never do and why cant we just make everyone happy
