In this episode we tackle the broad strokes of pressure support for the new medic and look at a recent case i had where i could have been more aggressive in treating refractory hypotension.Insta: MostlyStablePod

I am not a Lawyer, i am not a physician. This episode does not exist to cast blame on any one particular person, nor do I think that the physician who is discussed is "guilty" of anything. She is not the one being tried, merely there to talk about the medical care she provided for a party in the trial. This is not a malpractice case, the physician is not going to lose her license nor should she. That is all.Join the discussion on instagram @mostlystablepodSorry for the poor video quality to the youtube watchers! Will be working on that for the future.This episode tackles the very boring but very important topic of documentation.

Today we got to have Brad and Kierra Newbury to talk about their book, "The Saved Effect"Pre order the saved effect now! Releases August 18th!https://thesavedeffect.com/

Disclaimer: Viewer discretion is advised. This episode is 100% opinion based and there are no sources to site and any "data" was pulled from a quick google search. The point of this episode is to spark discussion on a few topics that were brought to my attention this morning while listening to a different podcast. You may disagree with me, that is fine.

EDITORS NOTE: When i was talking about the "analgesic effects of versed i meant to say the amnesia effects. Versed provides no analgesics.Disclaimer: This is not a guide, tutorial, or training! This does not substitute medical training or medical direction. FOLLOW YOUR PROTOCOLS!!This episode we will be tackling the topic of procedural sedation, what the NIH says are best practices and examine a call where i used it and how it could have gone better.References:Benzoni T, Agarwal A, Cascella M.
