Very alert, a little disoriented - The team got together after hours to have cocktails and talk medicine. It was a dynamic discussion, filled with digressions and reflections, that covered 1) hypertensive intervention in the inpatient setting, 2) procalcitonin, 3) new acute leukemia presentation - what to watch out for. We hope you enjoy.
Listening is best paired with your favorite cocktail, cheers!

Lauren Smith, who is a M4 student applying into IM, joins Kevin Grudzinski for this episode. You will soon also get to meet Dr. Bruce Henschen when he joins us during an upcoming episode.
Lauren presents a case that she saw on a consult service to Northwestern M4s Caroline Zhao & Kelly Vogel. The team discusses diarrhea, BRBPR, and proctitis in a returning traveler. We hope to leave you with a great framework and make this problem a little bit less of a pain in the butt.
