PODCAST: First10 EM Papers of the Month
Welcome back – I know it has been a while… its not you, its me!
I have been busy doing nothing in my annual post-SMACC holiday somewhere.
Today I am happy to present a new collaboration. The First10EM blog is an awesome resource for the time-poor clinician wanting to stay up-to-date with the literature. Dr Justin Morgenstern [ @First10EM ] has been producing excellent summaries each and every month in his “Articles of the Month” reviews. Drumroll please……… and now he is here, live on the Broomedocs podcast to share his incisive and concise analysis of the papers that you should know about.
The plan is to present a series of papers and look at them in the practical light of our daily grind on the floor of the ED. Hold onto your headphones – it is a fast ride… 2 – 3 minutes per paper.
If you want to read the written version then pop over to the First10EM.com blog and read. However, if you like a bit of audio to keep your ears busy on the commute to work or cross-trainer then check out the podcast on the Broomedocs feed on iTunes or your favourite podcast app.
And now for your listening pleasure – here is the first episode – the Justin and Casey “rapid-fire journal club” for July 2016.
As an added, super free bonus the full PDFs of all the articles discussed are right here. We feel that this is a crucial part of the project. We can tell you what we think, how it will effect our practice – BUT you are working in your world and need to make your own decisions. So we want you to read the articles that catch your attention and draw your own conclusions. They are right here, click away!

I liked this podcast a lot. It gave me multiple relevant trials that could potentially affect my practice. In the podcast you gave pertinent details of the trials without belaboring. I really appreciate the links to the articles on your website for me to read in detail. I hope you can continue this. It helps. As a 2nd yr EM resident attempting to create a practice pattern it is really helpful to hear multiple articles and take home messages from the articles. It is really hard to know exactly where to look/have time to look to get these articles so this is an extremely helpful podcast.
i really really hate itunes, do you think you could have a plain audio file for download?
Many thanks, love your work
HI Jason
