So there's a lot of CME out there, but how much of it truly is clinically valuable and free of commercial influence?

And that's what makes Oakstone CME stand out, whether you're listening to ACP Mixap Audio Companion or diving into their board prep content.

Everything is expert-led, evidence-based, no ads, no fluff.

Their content is developed in collaboration with leading medical institutions, and it shows material is sharp, practical, pack with clinical pearls you get right away.

I've definitely walked away from episodes of the insights that I've actually been able to

apply that same week. And there's something for everyone, over 30 specialties to choose from,

with case-based reviews and real-world relevance built in. If you're looking for trusted,

no BSEMI, that actually helps you practice, check out Oakstone CME. Use the code Core30 for 30%

off from November 1st to January 31st, 2026. This is exclusive to Corian listeners. If you go to

oakstone.com forward slash mkSAP, that's

oakstone.com forward slash mixat. And don't forget to use the code Core 30. And with that,

let's get back into the episode. We spend a disproportionate amount of time in medicine,

agonizing over decisions to give or remove fluids with either fluids or diuretics.

Every low urine output prompts kind of this discussion about should we be giving this patient fluids. And if we

actually think about it at kind of the most simple level, IV fluids are just salt and water.

Salt water hasn't and never will be the treatment or so many diseases. So I guess I just hope that

in 2025 and beyond,

we can stop kind of overestimating the perceived benefit of fluid

and maybe just kind of focus more on the core things.

Like, have we addressed the underlying contraceptis?

That's Dr. Ross-Pachor, an intensivist and scientists

who taught me a ton in this interview
