Episode 33: Headaches with Special Guest Dr. Erin Lincoln

We talk about headaches in this episode, specifically an RCT comparing haloperidol to placebo for benign headaches. Special guest Dr. Erin Lincoln (@ErinTWL), EM resident and paramedic, is joining us for this episode. Drs. Jarvis and Lincoln will go through an oral boards-type case of a 45-year-old woman with a headache. We’ll include a review of the literature on headache treatments, hit on why opioids aren’t recommended, and discuss the differential diagnosis of headaches and the red flags that will help find those “can’t miss” diagnoses. This is a new format for us. We want your feedback. Do you like the oral boards-style interview? Drop us a note on Twitter @DrJeffJarvis, or email [email protected]. And don’t forget to give us a review on Apple Podcasts to help other like-minded clinicians find our show.
