    72. ICU Toxicology with Dr. Adam Mora

    On this week, Cyrus & Nick are joined again by intensivist extraordinaire, Dr. Adam Mora, for a long overdue episode on ICU Toxicology! Together, the three of us embark on a case-based journey covering some of the more common ICU toxidromes as well as some of the more unusual, but can't-miss diagnoses. This is a bit of a longer one but it's super high-yield and very practical for anyone who is studying for their boards and/or participating in the care of the critically ill! Thanks to our tag-team of sponsors for this episode: The Difficult Airway Course: Critical Care and our newest sponsor, Integration Health!
