Episodes
What a treat! But a sugar-free one of course... Meet Dr. Tom Elliott from BCDiabetes (bcdiabetes.ca) who's a leading researcher in the field. When Landon and Monique were in Nursing school there was just... insulin... and that's about it. In the last few decades there have been way more medications and management strategies developed and we ask all of our questions.
Its been a while - but we are back at it! In this episode we go over the basics of the Complete Blood Count (CBC).
Honestly...the talent in the zoom is amazing! We welcome Dr. Grant Innes, a true pioneer and famous researcher in Emergency Medicine (and former Resident of Dr. Peter Rosen himself)! We also welcome Sherry Stackhouse, a well-known emergency nurse educator and Allan Lai co-host of the world-famous ResusTonight podcast. Oh and Monique and Landon are there too but definitely humbled by the rest of them!

Finally! We get to talking about the electrolytes and their disturbances. It will make more sense listening to Episode 1 and 2 first!
In what was supposed to be a 2-part series, it became evident that it needed to be three once we started getting nerdy about feedback loops in the body. Enjoy this episode where we talk about the body's feedback systems and how it maintains balance.
In the episode we talk about the "fluid" part of fluid and electrolytes. Ever wondered what all of those different IV fluids are for or just need a refresher? Here we go...
On this episode we talk about COVID drug therapy - steroids, the "zumabs" and, of course, ivermectin. Note that this was recorded on September 15, 2021 and information (and weird trendy drugs) change frequently...
We had the opportunity to have an extremely valuable experience in interviewing a network of people from various areas who have the lived experience of the war on drugs. The focus is hearing how they would like to be treated when presenting to the emergency department. Their lived experience will cause any health provider to reflect on their practice and make simple changes to make everyone's experienc...
This month we talk about the types of vaccines and focus on the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine and dispel the myths circulating about it.
This month we talk about mask wearing and share our opinions on mask wearing. And really we ask the question...why is this even a question? Love us or hate us...we have an opinion on the matter! Note this was recorded mid-September 2020 and took us a bit of time to get online (obviously information changes as time goes on...).
This month we interview world-renowned harm reduction epidemiologist Dr. Jane Buxton about how the COVID pandemic has crossed with the opiate crises and harm reduction. Dr. Buxton is truly inspiring in her approach to addictions medicine and approaching additions with a human perspective that could benefit all emergency practitioners.
This month we talk to Dr. Robert Reynolds a 'friendly-neighbourhood' infectious disease specialist about COVID. A mish mash of questions and thoughts for our little conversation.,
Join Landon, Monique and Dr. Bob Anthony who combined have 102 Years of Emergency Medicine/Nursing Practice. We have a chat about what's changed and how COVID-19 has caused lots of us to pause and reflect on our situation. And for those interested, check out our free COVID-19 learning at covid19.epicclearning.ca
This month we talk with Dr. Andrew Shih, your friendly neighbourhood hematologist (back by popular demand) about anticoagulants and how to reverse them in bleeding.
This month we welcome back our special guest Dr. Gary Andolfatto to talk about behavioural and agitation control using multiple medications...and of course...ketamine!
Our most requested topic! This month we talk about vasopressors in detail and which ones to use when.
This month we talk about gout - what is it? Different types? Who knew? Now you will!
This month we talk again with everyone's favourite transfusion specialist about when to transfuse. Lower hemoglobin levels are well tolerated and learn about what we might be doing to even cause anemia!
This month we interview Dr. Andrew Shih, everyone's favourite friendly neighbourhood Tranfusion Medicine Specialist. We talk about Massive Transfusion, TXA, Calcium, Blood typing and a whole lot more. This is fantastic!
This month we talk about everything you've ever wanted to know about pancreatitis. As with last month, we are still solving some sound issues and they will get better soon!
