Changing Our Minds About the Brain: The future of Pre-hospital Stroke Care- Michael Defilippo
The current role of mostprehospital stroke care for a majority EMS providers is a rapid diesel bolus or an IV line, with the occasional intubation if the patient is imminently ill.

What I Wish I Learned in Medic School: Part 1 OB/GYN by Michael Defilippo
On this first installation of The Overrun’s What I Wished I Learned in Medic School, I’m going to discuss topics I was introduced to during my Obstetrics and Gynecology clerkship in medical school, or those that were refreshed from my medic school time.

I tried to steer clear of topics that are normally covered routinely during classes or refreshers (except a couple) – to give you all something new and exciting!
