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 en...

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.

October 2016 Journa Club Another month of interesting reading - articles of the month journal club with Dr Justin Morgenstern.
This vodcast is a version of the talk I gave last week at the ACEM Annual Scientific meeting in Perth. We were asked to present a "challenging case" - I decided to present a trauma case that I think represents the maturation of my trauma practice. The case is pretty straightforward. However, there are a few concepts thrown in that you may not have heard before. Airway management, massive transfusion, head injury... it is a tough case.
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 ...
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....
