AZEMCast is THE competitive emergency medicine podcast. The host, Dr. Aaron Leetch, moderates a panel of emergency physicians who will go head to head navigating a clinical case from the Ring Down to the Work Up to the Dispo. Panelists are awarded points for their approach to the case and their clinical application of evidence-based medicine. However, points are deducted for weak arguments or reliance on experience-based medicine. The panelist with the most point at the end of the case will win the opportunity to soapbox about whatever aspect of EM they are most passionate about. We hope this podcast will model the knowledge, skills and approach that will help you take the best care of your patients. Posts ≠ medical advice http://uanow.org/participate

April 2016: Thrombolytics in Acute Ischemic Stroke
Happy April AZEMCast listeners. This month, we cover the mother of all EM controversies: thrombolytics in acute ischemic stroke. Guaranteed to spice up any EM/Neuro mixer, this topic is hotly debated throughout the literature so we dive in head first in the papers that set the guidelines and standards.
No peer review this month (too hot to handle, too cold to hold), but Brian and Chris more than make up for it with their deadly accurate editorials.Happy listening!
Aaron, Jarrod, and Brian
