This week we had the distinct privilege to learn about empathy from Dr. Ope Adeoye who explored what empathy looks like from the patient's perspective - and why it's difficult to be truly empathic as a young physician. We puzzled over a CPC case of severe chest pain in a young woman. Dr. Harty taught us about the not-so-elusive TACO and TRALI among other transfusion reactions. Finally, Dr. Wurster-Ovalle gave us some pointers on management of unvaccinated children with fever in the ED.
