Hello, residents. My name is Zach Olson. I'm joined today by Mike Estefan, and thank you for downloading this month's episode of the EM Clerkship podcast.

0:09.7

This episode is sponsored by Pearson Rabbit's Insurance, my personal independent life and disability insurance agent.

0:14.8

We will talk more about Pearson Rabbits later in this episode. Let's get into it. Today is round number 15 of the game. And Mike is going to need

to perform today's case in real ABEM oral boards format. He has 15 minutes to complete the full

1:18.5

next patient, it's a 51-year-old female, Ms. Emerson, and she has had an episode of syncope. She
