The EMS Lighthouse Project

Episode 33

Show Notes

We talk headaches in this episode, specifically an RCT comparing haloperidol to placebo for benign headache. Joining us for this episode is special guest Dr. Erin Lincoln (@ErinTWL), EM resident and paramedic. Drs Jarvis and Lincoln will go through an oral boards-type case of a 45-year-old woman with a headache. We’ll include a review of the literature on headache treatments, hit on why opioids aren’t recommended, and discuss the differential diagnosis of headaches and the red flags that will help find those “can’t miss” diagnoses. This is a new format for us. We really, really want your feedback. Do you like the oral boards-style interview? Drop us a note on Twitter: @MikeVerkest, @DrJeffJarvis, or an email mike.verkest@flightbridgeed.com or jeff.jarvis@flightbridgeed.com. And don’t forget to give us a review on Apple Podcasts to help other likeminded clinicians find our show.
