I have developed these lectures over the last year mainly for unsuspecting family medicine residents who are under duress to attend my lectures. They are based on articles written for PA Pearls from the ER and references can be found at the end of the relevant article. These slides reflect my interpretation of the literature, which unlike most physicians, is >99.9% accurate. Any article that does not agree with my point of view is “methodologically flawed” and has therefore been rejected. Please feel free to use these slides in your own lectures however I strongly recommend you verify all drug doses as part of your due diligence.
