The post SGEM#481: Shot Through the Chart And You’re to Blame – But Can We Intervene? first appeared on The Skeptics Guide to Emergency Medicine.


Hosted by emergency physician Dr. Ken Milne, The Skeptics Guide to Emergency Medicine cuts through the noise of daily practice to examine the evidence behind common clinical decisions. This isn't about dry journal reviews; it's a practical, conversational look at the studies and guidelines that actually impact patient care in fast-paced environments. Each episode focuses on a specific topic, breaking down the latest research with a critical eye to separate compelling data from medical myth. You'll hear discussions on everything from trauma protocols to outpatient management, always with an emphasis on applying skepticism to improve outcomes. The goal is to move beyond the old "meet 'em, greet 'em, treat 'em and street 'em" mentality by fostering a more thoughtful, evidence-based approach. For clinicians who want to refine their practice and for anyone interested in the science of acute care, this podcast serves as a regular dose of reasoned analysis. Dr. Milne's experience provides a grounded perspective, making complex information accessible and immediately relevant. Tune in for a straightforward dialogue that challenges assumptions and aims to make medicine better, one examined claim at a time.
