This is EMKases, EM Quick Hits podcast.

Quick. Let's get on with it.

EM cases is part of Shremie, the Schwartz-Riseman Emergency Medicine Institute.

That's the nonprofit organization dedicated to improving EM care through high-quality research and education. The opinions expressed on this podcast are intended for general information and educational purposes only and should not be used to diagnose treat or prevent any medical condition, nor should they be used as a substitute for medical advice from qualified practicing physician. Unless stated otherwise, the opinions expressed by the hosts or guests are made in their individual capacity, not on behalf of the Institute nor Medicine cases. As the New Year dawns, I'd like to thank so many people for making EM cases a success in 2022.

So, 2022 saw more than 2.8 million EM cases podcast listens and more than 2.9 million page views on the website.

This would not have been possible without you, the listeners of the podcast and the users of the website,

so thank you so much.

And thanks to those of you who have supported EM cases by registering for the virtual EM cases summit.

This year's February 2nd to 4th, 2023, that money goes to ensuring that we continue providing the podcasts and all the stuff on the website for free.

There are so many people to thank behind the scenes, the entire EMCases production team, the incredible guest experts, all the amazing docs who create the EM Quickets, the fine folks at Sremi and at Innovate Web Solutions,

University of Toronto EM, and my wonderful family for their support.

I have so much to be grateful for, but 2022 was a tough year for many of us.

My good friend, colleague, and chief of RED at North York General Hospital, Dr. Paul

Hannam, tragically and suddenly died at the age of 51 this past summer, and I'd like to

dedicate this podcast to him.

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season that you're keeping well, and that

2003 brings you tons of joy and satisfaction in your careers and in your personal life.
