And this is its new home.
After wandering in the wilderness of pixelated paranoia – I have seen the light and decided to collate the accumulated eclectic into one central, pertinent repository of goodness…to HERE at http://blog.ercast.org.
The old link http://ercast.org still works and will direct you to this new site, so if that’s the one you have saved, no worries.
If you were a subscriber to the old site, you will need to re-subscribe on the new one to get the latest ERcast updates.
…and once again a HUGE thank you for listening to the show!
These are the important links you will need….

About Rob Orman
Dear Rob, I just started my first job as an ED nurse. I trained in Portland, OR, but now I’m in SW Virginia. Anyways, I listen to all your episodes on my commute to and from work. Thanks for keeping me smiling, and for giving me amazing insight into the mind of emergency providers. It helps me do my job so much better and I’ve learned so much. I was so excited when I had a pt the other day w a perianal abcess--I had JUST listened to that episode that morning and I was able to tell him all about the procedure and relieve a lot of his anxiety. I would LOVE for you to do an episode in which you talk about nurse-provider communication. I’ve found a big contrast between Portland and the small town I’m in here regarding how providers and nurses interact in the ED…
Keep it real and thanks again,
Sara U.
Hi Sara-
Thanks for the note. Nurse-physician/proveder communication is a great topic idea. Do you know of experts in this area who could shed some light on best practices or at least ‘what seems to work’?
Hi! No one specific comes to mind in PDX but I will let you know if I think of anyone. I was thinking a format somewhat like your show on hyper/hyponatremia wherein you have several people weigh in on the topic would be best. I’d really like to know what med schools tell their students/residents about nurse-provider relations nowadays. I think that it’s crucial to good emergency medicine for providers to see nurses as team members-- I saw that happening a lot at OHSU, but less here in this more rural area.
