This week we welcome a new host, Jordan, who has the honor of being EMJC's first MD on the podcast and brings us back to some EM basics. Jordan is an EM intern who joins us to lead Kyle (MS4) and Arman (MS4) through a case of a young woman with nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. How would you approach this case? As always, we learn a couple very important points about evaluating and treating abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting.
