🚑🎙️Matt joins the podcast again to chat about a topic I take VERY seriously because I deal with it: anaphylaxis.
We discuss the importance of asking about allergies/severity along with basic patient information, dive into anaphylaxis when it’s not just hives and wheezing, and explain why your immediate treatments and actions matter.
Another cool question: What if the patient refuses, even if they administered their own epi-pen? Find out in this episode!
