All right, it's been way too long since we've had David Carr on the podcast.

We were so fortunate to have him give his amazing talk on syncope at the EM cases summit in November.

After the summit, we got talking a bit about a great case that made him stop and reflect on his own practice as a seasoned master clinician.

So Dr. Carr, we're just so happy to have you back on the podcast.

Let's hear it, man.

Yeah.

You know, before we even start talking cases, I just have to say the summit was unbelievable. Like what an incredible,

what an epic, what a high summit. And after doing that summit and seeing all those speakers,

you know, I just was like, we got to do another car's cases because I just got to stay part of this. Because what an awesome program you put on. Really amazing work.

Thanks, buddy. Yeah. I think it was an incredible team effort and it really did kind of make me

proud of REM community. Like there's so many good, bright, amazing people that made it happen.

Cool. So I hear you had this case smack in the middle of the pandemic

that really made you think carefully about some principles of practicing medicine. So let's hear it.

Yeah, I didn't want to tell you the case beforehand. I want this to be a surprise. And maybe we can

go through this case the way it evolved. And you can

kind of pitch in your thoughts. And I'll tell you how I was thinking. And I thought it was really just a very

straightforward case. And as unlike a lot of the cars cases, zebras, this isn't a zebra, actually.
