Broomedocs Podcast

We are back!  Yes, once again I am joined by my Canadian buddy Dr Justin Morgenstern to bring you a rough guide to Justin's favourite papers of the month. #FOAMed

This episode I reflect upon a really tough airway case. I have asked a number of airway gurus from the FOAMed community to comment on the logistics and plan to manage this case. Enjoy

Welcome back to the Journal Club with Dr Justin Morgenstern.  It has been 2 months since we last dusted off the papers on Justin's bedside table... but like a mythical (nerdy) Sisyphus Justin must push another load of evidence out into the ether in order to go back and start the whole process again. This episode is on steroids.  I mean it is largely about steroids, not actually "on steroids" but there is a sprinkling of other stuff and a bit of philosophical banter about machine learning at the end. So sit back, grab a beverage and tune in for another hour of evidence and education from our corners of the world.

NEWS: I am launching a new podcast segment The working Title is: Rob's Probs and Casey's Cases  (Ed: may change if we come up with something better) The new podcast series is all about CLINICAL REASONING.  Exploring how we think through a diagnosis or problem.  In order to do this I have teamed up with Dr Rob Park, a Queensland GP from the "Sunny Coast" Here is episode 1.

Hi all The latest episode of the journal club features an ecclectic bunch of papers of variable quality presented by two minds of variable quality!! We cover alcohol levels, ear tubes, eyelid injuries and HUGS! Enjoy, Casey

A ripper of a journal club episode.  Recorded live in Berlin at the DasSMACC conference last week.  Justin and I invited a cast of superstars to share a drink over the mike and discuss an eccectic bunch of papers.  

Welcome back to the kinda monthly journal club with Dr Justin Morgenstern and I. This month we do WOMAN, CO tax, Wellen's and Sarin gas Casey

This is a deep dive into a recent lung US paper looking at the sensitivity of eFAST exam for pneumothorax in blunt trauma patients. The conclusion was a really low sensitivity... but as a skeptic and lung scan enthusiast, I have decided to explain how I think we should interpret this paper. Casey

Another live journal club with Justin M & Casey P This month we have 11 papers in 3-quarters of an hour. We cover the good, bad and ugly of migraine sprays.  How Facebook stats can determine your longevity, Marik's Magic Sepsis Sauce and how to "toughen up" in the face of rudeness mid-Resus!   Enjoy

Dr Resa Lewis @UltrasoundREL is a pioneer of #POCUS In this podcast she shares a tragic story that changed the lives of a number of people.

Welcome back the the last journal club with Dr Justin Morgenstern for 2016. [Yes, it is now 2017... but that's life.]  Another batch of 10 delicious articles to satisfy your post-Christmas cravings for academic nerdiness.  There a bit of something for every taste this month. 

At the last SMACC outing in Dublin there was a stand-out lecture by Dr Ross Fisher ( @ffoliet ) entitled:  Things that Scare Me.  Ross is a bit of a presentation guru - and hence he had plenty of pressure on to deliver a great talk.... and he did exactly that.  It was a pin-drop-silently, slideless baring of the soul. This is the back story behind the talk that lead Ross to learn a lot about himself and how doctors sometimes behave towards one another.

This episode of Lessons Hard Learned comes from Johannesburg in South Africa - I am joined by Dr Tori Stephen to discuss a tough trauma case and some pearls from trauma on ultrasound and clinical decision-making in traumatic crises!.

November's edition of the Justin and Casey Journal Club is out! Have a listen and check out the written notes over at First10EM.com

Welcome back to the podcast for October's Articles of the Month Another month of interesting reading with Dr Justin Morgenstern.  Check out the First10EM blog for full written version.

Its a new month and that means a new episode of the First10EM / Broomedocs Journal club. I have learned so much by just hanging out with Justin and reading the papers he digs up each month.  I hope you are learning the easy way too!  This month we have 10 papers for you with topics ranging from massive haemoptysis to "Tweeting drunk en route to ED"... So sit back, grab a beverage and listen in for the JC with J&C. 

This episode of "Lessons" is a little different.  My guest is Dr Heidi James, Canadian Primary care doc, and one of the voices of the Primary Care RAP podcast. Heidi and I have worked together in the Hippo ED shed on the Primary Care RAP for a few years and we seem to have a lot in common when it comes to work, life and the all important balance.  So we decided to yarn about how we make it work with family, work and all the other stuff life throws our way.  Can we have it all? What advice would we give given what we know now?  There is even a tale involving fatherhood, faeces and the fruit section....

Today's "Lesson" is all about knowing one's limitations, scope of practice and appreciating the little voice inside one's noggin. Dr Andy Buck is an ED Physician who works all over Australia, but is based in Melbourne where he runs the very excellent Emergency Trauma Management course. This is a case of procedural sedation which goes a little awry. It is a nice counterpoint to all of the stuff we hear about safety, "fasting status" and the classic - "easy intubation, rocky extubation" scenario.
