This episode of HNTKYP features Kevin and Dr. Lisa Wolf discussing anxiety. They explore the complexities of diagnosing anxiety, emphasizing the importance of ruling out serious underlying conditions before attributing symptoms solely to anxiety.

Remember that even patients with anxiety can still have medical problems. Tune in to learn more about how to effectively triage potential anxiety in the ED and ensure that no patient's symptoms are overlooked.
