Episode 7 - Halloween Special Part 2

It's SPOOPY season!!! And to celebrate we have a 3-part Halloween Special featuring many of our previous guests and a few new ones! Join us to learn about some interesting and spooky Halloween-themed Emergency Medicine topics. This week Arman, Kyle, Adam, Pranav, Taylor, Frankie, Danny, Abby, Charlie, Nate, and (sort of) Chris come together to talk all things spoopy in honor of Halloween this weekend. We want to avoid spoilers as much as possible, but we discuss topics ranging from pumpkin carving safety to demonic possession. We also talk pumpkin facts because who doesn't want to know more about pumpkins? Part 2 features Taylor, Frankie (and Noa), Danny, and Abby presenting their topics, and Kyle sharing some more important pumpkin facts. We hope you enjoy this, and stay tuned for Part 3! *EPISODE SPOILERS BELOW* Taylor's Articles: Demonic Possession and Nesrin Shaheen Article Radecki, R. P.
