ER
CME on How to Stop Avoidable Death, Overmedicating, and
Malpractice.
Big Mistakes Made by Emergency Medicine Physicians
1.
Missing
a fracture or missing a radiographic abnormality. During
the hustle and bustle of working a typical ER shift we order many
radiographic films. Many of us order a film and don’t even look at
it, we wait for the radiologist interpretation. But according to
the court of law, as the treating physician, we are required to give
a reading of every film that we order. This poses a great dilemma
for many of us as we have not had any radiology training and the
last time we studied anatomy was most likely in medical school. At
many PearlsMED events we have radiologists who lecture to us on the
intricacies and details we need to know to comfortably
be able to read and interpret the radiographs we order.
2.
Misdiagnosing chest pain. In the emergency room we
see many patients with chest pain. Not only is it our duty and job
to determine the cause of the chest pain, we are required to
treat the patient with chest pain as they would be
treated by a sub-specialist until that sub-specialist
arrives to provide care or until the follow-up appointment---this is
according to the legal advisor who lectures at PearlsMED events.
Our cardiology lectures will provide you with diagnostic and
treatment protocols that are up to date and standard of care in
cardiology.
3.
Errors
in diagnosing and treating patients with a neurologic condition.
The worse neurologic condition we can miss is a stroke/CVA, but
there are a horde of other diagnoses that we would miss if our
diagnostic skills are not well honed. Our neurology lectures will
provide you with the pearls to diagnose and treat the most
severe and life threatening neurologic problems as well as
the skills and confidence to approach any patient with a neurologic
problem and at least begin the appropriate work-up and treatment in
line with the standard of care in neurology. This is only possible
by receiving lectures from the neurologist. All PearlsMED events
feature board
certified physicians lecturing in their area of expertise or
subspecialty.
The #1 Reason Why You Should Attend This Conference
The number one reason why
we offer this course to Emergency Medicine physicians is to ensure
that you have the latest critically changing information to provide
life-saving care to the variety of patients that present to your
ER.
Who is this best suited
for? This ER CME event is best suited for emergency medicine
physicians who work in rural or suburban America. The reason for
the all-encompassing scope is that this course is taught by
specialists. We as emergency medicine physicians are held
to the standard of care of the clinician whose subspecialty covers
the clinical diagnosis of our patient. For example, a patient who
presents to your ER with chest pain needs to be provided care that
would be compatible with the care they would receive from a
cardiologist. It is difficult to stay current in Cardiology,
Pulmonology, Oncology, Radiology, Orthopedics and the myriad other
specialties and still have a life.
This conference was created for
you to attend on a yearly to twice yearly basis. We have
constructed variable curricula which address the needs most relevant
to emergency medicine physicians. In the emergency room, our focus
is to treat patients who present to us with what they feel could be
a life threatening medical condition. It is our job to assess and
screen these patients. Our greatest fear as ER physicians is that
we might miss or not be able to provide the appropriate care for a
patient who then ends up dying. This course addresses the most
frequent causes of morbidity and mortality in the USA. Some of the
topics addressed are:
Chest pain
Pneumonia
Cancer
Extremity
injuries
Fractures
and many other topics selected according to
needs assessment surveys received from prior attendees of this
course. This is a "must attend" conference. One of
the best ER cme events you'll ever attend. Don't miss
it. Register now and save!
