AZEMCast is THE competitive emergency medicine podcast. The host, Dr. Aaron Leetch, moderates a panel of emergency physicians who will go head to head navigating a clinical case from the Ring Down to the Work Up to the Dispo. Panelists are awarded points for their approach to the case and their clinical application of evidence-based medicine. However, points are deducted for weak arguments or reliance on experience-based medicine. The panelist with the most point at the end of the case will win the opportunity to soapbox about whatever aspect of EM they are most passionate about. We hope this podcast will model the knowledge, skills and approach that will help you take the best care of your patients. Posts ≠ medical advice http://uanow.org/participate

Happy August everyone!
We left off last month’s saga of purulence with an epic cliff hangar. Why do we try so many methods to get the pus out when cold, hard steel works best? PAIN! These things hurt! It’s the pain inflicted that makes use go from watching Dr. Pimple Popper in our spare time to picking up as many abdominal pains as possible to avoid the abscess I&D. So this month we end our series on abscesses with a discussion of how to get the pain controlled. I don’t have the best answer to this, but fortunately, we have several smarted and more experienced people who can give you their best advice on how to get the pus out and still feel like a decent human being afterwards. Plus our peer review on the entire series by UA alumnus Dr. Grant Roper so you can see how much we are consistent with the community and how much we are blowing smoke.
