Psychiatric Emergencies Part 2 with Dr. Les Zun
Today’s episode is the second and final part of Dr. Sheyna Gifford’s interview with Dr. Les Zun on psychiatric emergencies. This episode will talk more about treating depressed patients, what you can do for patients who board in your ED for hours to days to even a week, and medications used for treatment of acute agitation in the ED.
Psychiatric Emergencies Part 2
A note to EM Basic listeners-
EM Basic may be on a little bit of a hiatus…maybe…
In the next week I will be deploying to Afghanistan for 4 and a half months to help staff the ED of a well established hospital. Believe it or not, the person I am replacing has told me that he has excellent internet access so I may be able to keep recording episodes in my down time. However, nothing is guaranteed regarding internet access so you may not be hearing anything from EM Basic for the next few months. I want to thank everyone who has contributed scripts for recording- if I have internet access in Afghanistan and enough time, I will try to record as many of them as possible. I am scheduled to return in mid-February and my new assignment is at San Antonio Military Medical Center where I did my residency. They have been very supportive of the podcast so I am excited to get the chance to publish lots of new content when I get back from deployment.
