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

episode 46: July 2019 - Cutaneous Abscesses - Part 1
Happy July everyone!
First off, welcome to the new interns here and around the country. This podcast is intended to be a supplement to your education and by NO MEANS is it enough to train you how to be a good doctor. Instead we hope to teach you the ways of evidence-based emergency medicine in a way that is practical and applicable to your next shift.
Fortunately interns, you missed missed a rousing discussion on pilonidal and bartholin gland abscesses! But have no fear for there is still plenty of pus to discuss. This month we tackle the ins and outs of cutaneous abscesses or as they’re better known in the ED, “spider bites.” Not sure what poor spiders did to be confused with these awful boils. At any rate, these things are painful and full of purulent badness and it’s our job to get it out. This month we’ll discuss the good, the bad and the ugly methods of getting the pus out leading to a cliffhanger ending of what works best!
