This episode dives straight into one of the sneakiest, deadliest postpartum emergencies out there: pulmonary embolism. It’s a fast-paced ride through the six-week hypercoagulable chaos zone where new moms are walking clot factories, subtle signs matter, and tachycardia is the quiet villain hiding in plain sight.
We unpack why these clots form, how to spot the red flags hiding behind clear lung sounds, and how to keep a patient alive long enough for definitive care. Think of it as a crash course in postpartum pattern recognition—equal parts physiology, field clues, and “oh wow, that makes sense now.”
It’s sharp, gritty, and exactly the episode you didn’t know you needed.
