Hello, students. My name is Mike Estefan, and I thank you for joining me on this month's

deep dive episode on the EM Clerkship podcast. This month's episode will be covering ethylene

glycol toxicity, but before we get into it, I actually have an apology to make on behalf of

EM clerkship.

On our website, which is www.m.clarkship.com, there's a web form where you are able to contact us directly and send us messages and comments.

Nobody ever used it, or so we thought. We just found out the other week that there was a glitch

with this and we were simply just unable to see the comments that you guys were writing us.

All of a sudden we're able to see years of questions, comments, and feedback that we could not see

prior to last week. So on behalf of myself, Zach, and Maddie,

we want to apologize to all the listeners who took the time to reach out to us. Some of the comments

were truly heartfelt, and we do not want you to think we are ignoring you. I think Zach was able

to get it up and running, so we shouldn't have

any more issues in the future. Now before we begin this episode, just a quick word from our

sponsors over at Pearson Rabbit's Insurance. Pearson Rabbit is my own personal disability insurance

broker. I have own occupation disability insurance, which means if I become disabled just enough to not be able to perform my duties as an ER physician, I will receive disability benefits.

This is different than your run-of-the-mill disability insurance, which will only really cover you if you are disabled to the

point of being unable to perform any work. Getting own occupation disability insurance as a physician

is really important. And the best part is if you sign up as a resident, you keep that lower

rate even once you become an attending. It would be a mistake to wait until you're in attending to sign up.

Don't wait until it's too late.
