Episode 284: Perioperative Hand-offs with Jamie Sparling and Aalok Agarwala

In this new series on master clinicians I will be interviewing people who have been identified by their colleagues and trainees as "master clinicians", people who others go to for advice and clinical guidance, people who are masters of their craft. In this episode I welcome Dr. Dave Berman back to the show to discuss how he has, in a relatively short time, become one of these master clinicians and what advice he has for all of you.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this 280th episode I share the shocking and tragic news that Dr. Gillian Isaac died suddenly and unexpectedly a few weeks ago. She was an incredible human being, teacher, doctor, wife and mother. She will be missed more than I can say by more people than we can possibly count. I know that she would want us to continue with these keyword episodes that she loved doing and so I am going to try. I know they will never be the same, but they will be dedicated to her memory. Today I address the keyword of shock states and discuss the 4 types of shock and how they may be covered on your exams. I miss you, Gillian.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
