Welcome back to the podcast! We've got three papers this month covering the breadth of Emergency Care presentations and locations; from prehospital arrests, ketamine for analgesia in trauma and those complex elderly patients presenting with abdominal pain. First up we look at the use of prehospital thrombolysis for out of hospital cardiac arrest, something some critical care services are using for suspected PEs and MIs. But what are the outcomes for these patients and how accurate are the clinical suspicions that lead to the thrombolysis? Next up we look at an excellent prehospital RCT, PACKMaN, on the use of ketamine vs morphine for patients with pain following trauma. Is ketamine safe? Is it superior? And what is the side effect profile of each of these approaches? We're also lucky enough to have the lead author, Mike Smyth, come on to give his thoughts on the paper and what it might mean for clinical practice Finally we have a think about abdominal pain in the elderly population. Without a cause for the pain being found this can feel like a very high risk group of patients to discharge. Our final paper helps quantify that risk further, inform our decision making and identify factors that are associate with an increased morbidity and mortality. Once again we'd love to hear any thoughts or feedback either on the website or via X @TheResusRoom! Simon & Rob

Some of the wording on their site has quietly been changed to strike out references to the BC NDP. But why so?Conspiracy theories abound as a select few 'keyboard warriors' talking to themselves in their echo chamber make false assertions about who was planning a townhall forum at the New West SkyTrain station.

Our esteemed Remake Expert returns for our first remake rewatch. Josh provides likely-mis-information about North Korea, and we all want more for Jed to do aside from being the personification of jingoism. What did he do in the Marines and why does this movie refuse to address it? And did they really expect us to take North Korea as a serious threat? Thanks to Skachibaches for the CCR cover!

Jawn Jang, contributor to the Mike Smyth and Jill Bennett Show, as well as the weekend host for the Shift, shared some troubling news on social media yesterday, that caught everyone's attention.   

Top stories today: Telus takes the blame Telus released a statement today, essentially taking the heat for the failure that was the vaccine rollout in Vancouver Coastal Health, yesterday.  Makeup use on the rise For MEN! That's right. In light of being on camera more, with all the zoom video meetings, men are using more makeup!  B.C.'s optimism a potential risk?  Today the Province hinted at the fact that restrictions would probably ease up in time for all the various religious happenings this April. Is that a huge red flag?  Much more in the full episode! _____________ NAVIGATE THE PODCAST:  Chapter 1 Telus takes the blame, but does the NDP deserve some too? On the vaccine rollout front, yesterday was a HUGE failure.  Health Minister Adrian Dix today had some very very strong words in regards to TELUS. TELUS has actually accepted fault for what happened yesterday. But, does that take away fault from the NDP completely?  Chapter 2 Talking to Dr. Penny Ballem, in charge of the rollout What does the woman in charge of the rollout have to say about the last 24 hours?  Chapter 3 Makeup use on the rise… for men!  To each their own. But, alongside the rise of Zoom and Teams video conference meetings, it has come alongside the rise of makeup use for men! Eric Chapman has more.  Chapter 4 Too early to ease up on restrictions? That's what some are suggesting in light of the fact that the Province seems poised to ease restrictions on faith based institutions as early as April.  Dr. Conway joins the show again to discuss this reality.  Chapter 5 Another year of daylight savings, another day of headache Horgan has not followed through on his promise to eliminate daylight savings time switching. To be fair, the pandemic obviously played a part in not following through. Richard Zussman joins the show to share what he knows on this file. Chapter 6 Vancouver police board looking to appeal budget cut President of the Vancouver Police Union and the BC Police Association Ralph Kaisers agrees with this appeal, and joins the show to tell us why.  Chapter 7 How many unread email notifications do you have? Is one too many?  Jawn Jang, contributor to the Mike Smyth and Jill Bennett Show, as well as the weekend host for the Shift, shared some troubling news on social media yesterday, that caught everyone's attention.  _____________   Remember to wash your hands, practice physical distancing, and stay home at all costs if you are sick. We're not out of the woods yet!    The Lynda Steele Full Show podcast includes all the individual segments that can be found on the Lynda Steele Show page, digitally stitched together for your convenience.    Listen live online at globalnews.ca/radio/cknw/ 3-6 PM!

After remarks yesterday from Laurie Throness in regards to comparisons made between contraception and eugenics, his resignation today has been solidified.  We chat with Mike Smyth Show host, Mike Smyth!

The highlights:  What to expect with tomorrow's budget It's budget time! While it's not the most glamorous of topics, the implications are potentially huge.  Distracted driving Some people are making the case that all cell phones should be prohibited from vehicles.  Recline gate Remember that incident on the airline with the woman reclining and having her seat punched? Well it has taken all kinds of twists and turns.  That and more on this edition of the Lynda Steele Full Show podcast!   The Lynda Steele Full Show podcast includes all the individual segments that can be found on the Lynda Steele Show page, digitally stitched together for your convenience.    Listen live online at globalnews.ca/radio/cknw/ 2-6 PM!   Follow the team on Twitter: GUEST HOST: Mike Smyth @MikeSmythNews On Air Contributor Eric Chapman @EricIncredible  Lead Producer @Alan_Regan Technical / Content Producer @AmirsDoingitAll (Feel free to give me feedback on the podcast)
