“A lot of people are doing the work to help reduce health disparities are minority people. And we need this work. If we don’t, who else is going to do it?"

Thanks for the shout out! ESPB and serratus plane block are great options that if you have experience as an EM physician, you should be doing these for your patients. Lots of benefits for patients. We’re rolling out a study looking at the efficacy of these. Stay tuned!
