Medicine has always been taught from an apprenticeship model.

This podcast is a virtual apprenticeship to Dr. Ran. We will dive into the hardest cases - and invent nightmarish spin-offs to make them harder still - in order to train our practice in a simulation before facing the terrors of illness in reality.

Our goal is to:

Share some down-to-earth strategies, tips, and tricks to resuscitation originating in the ER and culminating in the ICU.

Along the way, we will discuss the physiologic and philosophical underpinnings to Dr. Ran's decisions.

But Ran will forever identify himself as a student of medicine, passionate about sharing his learning with like-minded scholars.
