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

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

We will talk more about Pearson Rabbits later in the episode.

But for now, let's dive into it.

Today is round number 27 of the game.

Maddie will need to perform today's case in real ABEM oral boards format.

She has 15 minutes to complete the full case, and she absolutely does not know what this case is ahead of time.

If Maddie hits all of the critical actions that I've listed out beforehand, she wins.

If she doesn't, or if she performs a dangerous action, I win. These cases were created by me.

They are not derived from actual ABM cases that I had on my exam, and they are not real patients. Maddie, take out a piece of paper and a pencil. Place the paper sideways in front of you,

outline a human body on the left side of it, and let me know when you were ready.

I'm ready, and I'm going to tell you, Mike, I feel like I'm starting to get nervous again like

I did at the very beginning of intern year now that I know you're pulling out all the hard cases

for the last six months.

Wow, my evil grin.

Yeah, it's fun. It's fun designing these cases, but certainly more, a little more work for me,

because this isn't stuff you see every day, and I need to refresh myself, too.

Let's get into it. All right. Dr. Watts, this will be a single patient encounter. You have 15

minutes to complete the case. Before we begin,

do you have any questions? No. All right. And your timer starts now. Dr. Watts, you are working

at Clerkship General when you hear an EMS call on the Base Command

Radio.
