Customer Reviews
cutting edge emergency medicine
Scott Weingart is drawing the road map for emergency critical care, episode by episode, with this podcast. Not only will you learn practice-changing strategies with each (relatively brief) lecture, you will use the show notes as a reference in the middle of your shifts.
awesome
First Amazing podcast. Focused, clear, and up to date. No silly back and forth banter, no silly intro jingle. Just information that matters. I used to be more tentative with nitro but having seen firsthand how high doses and NIV can make a HUGE difference I'm a major proponent of it. - B.C.S.
Great work
As a community ER physician I want to know about the latest advances in emergency medicine, distilled into short and concise clinically relevant sound bites. These discussions are perfect for listening to on the way into
work . Thanks!
