Hey, folks, Scott Wongard here, and this is an M-Crip podcast. Today on the podcast, we're going to discuss pulmonary embolism. A couple weeks ago, I published that malpractice case. A lot of questions came up from it. Can we use the perk score in patients with COVID? Can we use the perk score in patients with pleuritic chest pain? And where do we stand in 2025 on things like simultaneous

administration of anticoagulation and fiber analytics? I had all these questions. Well,

who could I possibly go to for the optimal answers? Well, that should be obvious. Jeff Klein is

the name for pulmonary embolism research in emergency medicine.

He's been on the show before, but it's been at least a decade.

So it was high time to get him back.

And we went through all of it.

So you're going to get the answer to all the questions that came up and so much more.

Before we dive in, really quick, for two years now, I've been working on a course with my partner in crime, Peter Johns.

And if you don't know Peter's name, then you haven't been listening to the podcast.

Peter is, I think, the best vertigo educator out there in emergency medicine.

And he just has been putting out phenomenal educational resources.

But everything is in kind of disparate locations.

It's on YouTube channels.

And I wanted a course on dizziness and vertigo for emergency medicine, critical care,

neurology, physical therapy, anyone dealing with patients who have vertigo complaints.

Because I feel I'm pretty good at it. I think better than most. I've read all the available

literature and I've talked to so many people for the podcast. And yet still, I was confused

exactly what to do in certain circumstances. And I know from teaching in academic medical centers that certainly the residents and many of my co-attentings really find this an area that they are not happy with. They do not want to pick up charts from dizzy patients. They do not want to see it. They hope the other team has to deal with

these patients who come in with dizziness complaints. And there's no reason for a major swath

of neurological presentations to be ones that we hate dealing with. So I figured we could fix this.

And the way to fix it is with a course. And so for two years, Peter and I have worked on this
