Stroke or Stoned? The 3 AM Differential We All Hate
A 24-year-old wanders into triage at 3 AM with new-onset slurred speech and a positive arm drift. Vitals are stable, EKG is unremarkable, and his roommate insists 'he doesn't do that stuff.' We walk through the differential, the bias trap, and what the imaging finally showed.
Anaphylaxis: 5 Pearls You Forgot Since Intern Year
Epi early. Epi often. Then what? A rapid run through biphasic reactions, when to start a drip, the H1/H2 myth, and the one observation rule that still trips up senior residents.
Code Blue in the Lobby: When the ED Becomes the ICU
Walk-in arrest. No room. No bed. No backup for 18 minutes. We break down the resuscitation moment by moment — the calls we got right, the call we got wrong, and the conversation we had with the family afterward.

Our first guest: an EM attending 12 years out who almost left medicine in year three. She talks about what changed, what she'd tell her younger self, and the specific shift-night routine that kept her from quitting.
