EM Case of the Week is a monthly “pop quiz” for ED staff. The goal is to educate all ED personnel by sharing common pearls and pitfalls involving the care of ED patients. We intend on providing better patient care through better education for our nurses and staff. Cases are written by our medical students and many involve real cases from our ED.
