Hello, residents. My name is Maddie Watts, and thank you for downloading this month's

episode of the EM Clerkship Podcast. This month's episode is sponsored by Pearson Rabbit's Insurance,

who is my personal independent disability insurance broker, and we will talk more about Pearson

Rabbits later in this episode. Sean, welcome back.

How are things going?

You know, things are going really well.

I feel like I'm finally getting the hang of like emergency medicine.

That sounds kind of silly coming from an intern, which is like I'm not going into shifts feeling completely overwhelmed anymore, which is an awesome feeling.

Yeah, that is an awesome feeling. I do remember

the first couple of months, my heart rate just climbing gradually as I got closer and closer to the

hospital. And then one day, it just kind of stopped doing that. And it was really nice. Oh, my God.

The anxiety of that first month was like nothing else. Yeah.

Well, a completely unrelated question.

Have you had your first PEDs rotation yet?

I am actively on my pediatric rotation.

I've been in the pedd for the last week or so.

It's a lot of asthma right now, which is great. It's nice to feel like

I'm good at least one thing in the pediatric side. Well, that's awesome. I just wanted to say

we talked offline, but for the listeners, this is going to be a bit of a harder case. And I felt like you and

Isabel have already done so well that I had the license to make it a little bit harder. And also,

our EM clerkship listeners have been with us through so many cases. I feel like we kind of had to

mix it up a little bit. But just as I told you before, the goal of this case is not necessarily for you to arrive at a specific diagnosis, but rather to have you appropriately consider the differential, stabilize the patient, and get them wherever you feel like they need to go. Does that sound good?
