Posterior circulation strokes (~20% of strokes) are often misdiagnosed! The key symptoms to look out for are the 5 D's: Dizziness (Vertigo), Dysarthria (slurred or bizarre speech), Dystaxia (ataxia), Diplopia (double vision), and Dysphagia (difficulty swallowing). @StJoes_EM

Ever wonder about how to do a bedside cardiac ultrasound (POCUS)? The most important place to start is to make sure the probe indicator is facing the patients RIGHT shoulder and the indicator marker on the screen is on the RIGHT! (Unlike all other ultrasound exams). @StJoes_EM

Our Wilderness Medicine Mini Fellowship held their first journal club tonight, hosted by our fearless leader in WM, Dr. Zina Semenovskaya! We kicked it off with tick borne illnesses & heard anecdotes from our residents and attendings of rare vector-borne diseases seen in the ED.
