Emergency Medicine (EM) Residency

All identifying info is left out and patient details have been changed in order to protect anonymity. This blog is a fictional blog. These kinds of cases occur in Emergency Departments across the nation but the cases and details here have been changed. This blog started out to document my journey through medical school and now I continue to document my life as a resident physician in EM in a story like fictional style. I am however an actual resident in EM.
