Diagnosis Wenckebach

I was told by a classmate "You're gonna need to beat a bear to death in order to replenish your cool-levels after that" when I posted this on facebook.

What can I say? It's my OG Alma Mater yo!

During an a class on my ED rotation, one of the attendings asked what drug you'd give for complete heart block. I said atropine. I really can't remember now if that's the right answer, frankly, but everyone seemed impressed that I could come up with a drug besides epinephrine. I have that video to thank for that.

Usually med students trying to make funny videos about course material end up painfully bad.

This one is brilliant! So bad it's good!

OMDG--Oui oui, you are correct...I always remember bradycardia ACLS as "A Totally Dumb Event" as in Atropine, TCP, Dopamine, Epinephrine. Hilarious that the vid was what gave you the prompt! hahah (Though I think they've changed the brady stuff since I last did ACLS two years ago. Curses.

DD--I agree, and yes it is SO bad, it's good. "My P-R interval is elongate...." trails off...

You have reached a whole new level of nerdiness AAB. I'm jealous there isn't a plant taxonomists version though.
