Trigger warning: This episode contains a postpartum story that may be difficult to listen to for some people who have experienced similar trauma.
In this episode, we had a special patient guest share her postpartum story. She developed postpartum preeclampsia and acute heart failure. We discuss the benefits of a pre-discahrge PT evaluation, including testing vitals with movement, lifting and stair climbing, which may have detected key diagnostic features earlier. We also discuss the importance of attention to detail when attending to patients in the hospital setting.
