#67 - Macrodata Refinement (Part 1)

What's that? A new mini-series where we cover how to be helpful at MET calls and develop an approach to managing the deteriorating patient when you're on your own? I THINK IT IS! This week Lauren is back with Alex to run through an approach to assessing and managing hypotension while getting to the crux of what is the best hydralite flavour (real ones know its purple). There'll be new episodes coming out more regularly covering how to assess and manage other issues for the deteriorating patient to help out all our new junior doctors.
