Hey folks, just a quick reminder that this episode is now meant to be used for medical advice, just good old-fashioned education.

All patient information has been modified to protect their identity and the views expressed in our podcast do not necessarily reflect the opinion of our employers.

Welcome back, clinical Problem Solvers.

Unknown team, and we're very excited for today's episode.

As a reminder, in this format, we present a blinded discussant, short pieces of information,

asking them to share their thought processes in real time.
