Zedu Weekly Wrap - 3 December 2021

Summer is here at last…

and we’re enjoying the heat, sun and light that accompanies the season. Counting down the days until we can take a break – one that you opt in to rather than have enforced.

An article that stood out this week is the hand nerve blocks ‘how-to’ from Northwestern EM – a fantastic resource. And if pediatrics is your interest, check out the new twitterbot set up by Brandon Katz, MD (@BrandonKatzMD) – which is collating all the latest and greatest in pediatric POCUS. Some people are really smart – I do it the old fashioned ‘read it and link it’ way!

As always let us know if there is something you’d like to promote or if there is something we missed.

See you next week.

Mike and Suean

P.S. – last night’s last edition of Coaching Corner was fun and will be uploaded soon. Keep your eye out – and for the back catalogue click here.
