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

In this new segment of PEM Rules Dr. Jay Fisher, who has been practicing PEM since 1992 is back to discuss intussusception and how can we all do a better job identifying those children among the sea of children with constipation.  

With the exception of corneal abrasions and conjunctivitis, ophthalmological presentations always make me a bit nervous. That is why I invited Dr. Mitchell Strominger to talk about some common ophthalmological emergencies.

Distracting injuries can be tricky but should always be taken into account. What should you think about in a child with LLQ abdominal pain and odd Neurological complaints and more about giving yourself a break. 

Thank you all for listening and supporting PEM Rules. I will be taking a short winter break to collect more material and enjoy the cold Nevada Winter (which I love). PEM Rules will be back in four weeks with more information, more medicine, more rules and, of course more music. 

I (finally) got a pediatric surgeon to come and talk on the show. Most importantly I was curious to know what he thinks about my Rule of 6. Listen to Dr. Erik Pearson and his wonderful advice.
