Hello, students. My name is Mike Estefan, and I want to thank you for joining me today on the EM Clerkship Podcast.

This marks our third mid-month episode in our Deep Dive series, which if you're not familiar,

Kawasaki disease with some bonus information about multi-system inflammatory syndrome in children,

abbreviated Miss C. Before we begin, I want to give a quick shout out to our sponsor's Pearson Rabbits.

As you probably know from our previous episodes, Pearson Rabbits is a company that specializes

in assisting medical professionals like you and me to understand the jargon behind disability

insurance and find a disability insurance plan that is catered towards your specific

needs. Stephanie Pearson is a former board-certified OBGYN who was unfortunately injured

during an emergent delivery at work. She has firsthand experienced the process of undergoing

a career-changing injury and has extensive personal experience

navigating the disability insurance landscape. Now, I know most of our listeners are medical

students and our residents, and most of you are young and healthy. This time in your life,

when you are so young and healthy, is the ideal time to sign up for

disability insurance. As a resident, you have the ability to lock in low rates that will continue

with you even once your salary increases as an attending. Do the smart thing. Go to www.person

ravitz.com and schedule a meeting with Stephanie Pearson and her team today.
