Back in January 2020, I was in Vermont with Russ Horowitz. We had both been lecturing at Stowe EM and we got to talking about pediatric pneumonia. Russ told me about a case of a patient who was sent to his hospital with a radiographic diagnosis of pneumonia. Turns out the patient didn't have pneumonia, but had a thymus (which is a normal finding in neonates). Check out the podcast for more details!

In this video, Michael Prats, MD (guest host!) and Jacob Avila sit down with Yale Tung Chen and speak with him regarding his article, Results of a Prospective Study to Evaluate the Impact of Point-of-Care Ultrasound in the Enhancement of Gastrointestinal Bleeding Risk Scores. In this study, Dr. Chen showed that ultrasound was able to prognosticate hemodynamically stable patients for bad outcomes down the road.  Here's the link to the study.
