Dog bites are unfortunately common in the Emergency Department. Remembering which ones to suture for cosmetic concerns while assuring we reduce the risk of infections is important. Also, most should get antibiotics. Which one? Dogmentin! (It's a portmanteau of Dog and Augmentin)...
Alt rock is now classic rock? oh well, this is a kidney stone song.
Ovarian Torsion causes lots of pain and vomiting. If you want to get a transabdominal ultrasound you need a full bladder. Also Motown is cool.
Dude! If you could remember the rockin' drug sequence to for anti epileptics in the Emergency Department that would be totally awesome! Wait, there's a hair metal song with lyrics to that effect? Rad!
Heat Stroke is a serious medical diagnosis that can be differentiated from other forms of heat illness. If only there were a calypso song to teach you the main findings...
It's a new wave of information! RSV causes bronchiolitis. OK, so it's not new. We can make a clinical diagnosis, and X-Rays are not necessary for most children with Bronchiolitis.
