All right, so welcome back to the Internet Book of Critical Care Podcast. I'm here with

0:09.1

Adam Thomas, and we're going to talk about nausea, emacists, and anti-aimetics. Josh, this is really

0:13.5

exciting because I think a core component for this chapter is how you do your marmectomy every day,

0:19.4

right? How to cut out a bunch of drugs that are useless

0:21.4

and probably not helping the patient whatsoever. So with that, you're going to deep dive

0:25.8
