let's talk all things asthma and NIV. what is NIV you ask? well listen and find out! when you find out be sure to let me know what you think NIV stands for and what it is in your own words.

this was intended to be a minisode but it's now longer than my regular episodes! tried a new way of recording this time, let me know in the polls if you liked it or not. all feedback is appreciated but i don't really want to be going over time every week - i appreciate the time you're giving me and don't want to overdo it!

today let's talk everything 'heart' ECGs for dummies, STEMIs, NSTEMIs, nodes, blocks, pacemakers. It's a doozy indeed but you'll only every know by tuning in.

Enjoy!

Last week we talked about basics, today we talk more advanced with another story from work that I had a lot to learn from. Join me as we discuss all things shock.

Strap in, today we dive into the basics of inflammation, immunity, infection and sepsis. We discuss all things sepsis; compensatory mechanisms, sepsis pathway, criteria, 6 in 60, and the definition of sepsis. For anyone brave enough to participate in my little challenge - thank you!

Death is a sacred experience and to be apart of that journey is a humbling and respected role. Today, we discuss my first significant death on the job, how I felt, how I dealt and how I became better.

Warning: it is a heavy topic so listen at your own risk.

2 days, 2 arrests, 2 deaths. What can we learn? We discuss ALS, the COACHED approach, shockable and non-shockable pathways. We discuss my personal reservations about the case and the emotional toll it has on us. And I give some pointers for those of you that aren't confident in BLS in case it's ever needed.

Recently, I was tested. In the least visible part of the department I cared for a man that was having an acute stroke and deteriorated right before my eyes. Today I unpack what happened, what I learnt, what could have been done better and most importantly what was done well. We go through the basics of strokes and how to diagnose a potential stroke in the community and the steps needed to ensure fast and effective treatment and management.
