The Bread and Butter
We cover key points on SBO and Acute Mesenteric Ischemia from Rosenalli, that’s Tintinalli (7e) Chapter 86; Rosen’s (8e) Chapter 92.  But, don’t just take our word for it.  Go enrich your fundamental understanding yourself.

Episode 24 - Concussion/Mild Traumatic Brain Injury

We  believe in the educational merits of Free Open Access Medical education (FOAM), which includes podcasts, blogs, articles on PubMed Central, conferences streamed for free and more.  As a result, we would like to encourage others to move beyond quoting podcasts and into the realm of tying “cutting edge” FOAM to the core content.  We’ll provide some review and references for listeners to go read.  Why, indeed, should we FOAM it alone when FOAM can inspire us to go, read, think, and be excellent?
