Vitals & Useful Links: Learn about an important etiology of syncope. See spoilers below if you want to know which one Podcast: Approach to  Syncope - EM Clerkship Podcast Warning: this is not an educational episode (but it should be fun SURPRISE!) As 2020 comes to a close, we bring you our final episode of the year, officially ending our first season of EMJC Cast. Kyle (MS4) leads his college friends Ari, Conor, and Curtis, none of whom are medical students, through a case of a male presenting after a syncopal episode. Arman (MS4) helps out as Nurse Barb. We wanted to have some fun at the end of the year and see how some non-medical people can handle a medical simulation case, so this episode will be a lot less educational than others, but hopefully a bit more fun. A big thanks to Ari, Conor, and Curtis for joining us this week, and a bigger thanks to Nurse Barb (Arman) for putting up with them. How would you approach this case? As always, we learn a couple very important points about evaluating and treating syncope. If you have any questions, concerns, or comments, please email us at [email protected] *****EPISODE SPOILERS BELOW***** Kyle's Article on Early IV iron transfusions in the ED  Beverina, I., Razionale, G., Ranzini, M., Aloni, A., Finazzi, S., & Brando, B.
