Anton Helman here from EMKAS.

Now as EMKAS has grown and expanded over the past seven years, I've had the pleasure of bringing on some very talented people to help me out.

And what you're about to hear is no exception.

This best case ever was produced by two all-star residents from Ottawa, Dr. Richard Huang,

who has also been doing some great editing on the main episodes,

and Rajiv Thavenathan.

Now, a few months ago, I was on shift at North York General Hospital,

and I bumped into this R3 who struck me as someone who's been in show business or something,

quick, witty, and smart.

And so I just asked him straight up.

And it turns out that Rajiv was a touring musician and even had his own podcast before going into medical school.

And I was like, wait, hold on a sec.

You're not only a clinical superstar, but a podcaster.

And you've never done any medical podcasting.

So you can guess what happened next.

Anyhow, here's an all-resident best case ever for you.

Enjoy.

Yes, this is EMK's best case ever mini podcast series, and I'm your host, Dr. Rajiv Thavunathan.

It's my pleasure today to have Dr. Chris Belcher, who's a second-year resident from the University of Kentucky. He actually

did a year of internal medicine before switching to emerge. So I'd like to think he's got a bigger brain than your average emerge resident. And he's here to tell us today about his best case ever. So Chris, why don't you take it away? Hey, this is Chris. I don't know about a greater brain, but I do order a lot more tests than your average emergency medicine resident.

So just to set the stage, this was a case that I had a few months ago, and this was about 6 a.m. after a really long, busy night shift. We were in the throes of trauma season here in Lexington.

So I had this 25-ish-year-old female who came in, had a history of cerebral palsy, and a history of seizures, came in just with altered mental status.
