22 July 2026St Emlyn's Blog and PodcastEp 290 - Shock with Rich Carden at Trauma 2030I probably still default to thinking about blood pressure when I say “shock,” even though I know better. This is a reminder that the number is just a proxy, and sometimes a misleading one. What actually matters is whether the cells are getting what they need—and that’s much harder to see. Next time I’m resuscitating someone, I’m going to think a bit more about perfusion and trajectory, not just chasing a target on the monitor.

14 April 2026StimulusWhy Your Job Needs a Better Scorecard0:02:11
14 April 2026Block It Like It's HotS4 E4: "Our convo with Louise Moran and Rafa Blanco!"It’s easy to forget how much of what we do comes from curiosity rather than certainty. Most of the time we’re just following patterns we’ve inherited without really questioning them. This is a reminder that progress often starts with someone noticing something small and asking a better question. I’m going to pay a bit more attention to the things that don’t quite fit—and not ignore them just because they’re inconvenient.
14 April 2026StimulusWhy Your Job Needs a Better ScorecardI recognise that feeling of being measured on things that don’t quite capture what a good shift actually is. It’s easy to drift into chasing numbers rather than noticing the moments that matter. This is a useful reminder that you can reset the rules for yourself. Next shift, I’m going to pick one thing that actually reflects the kind of clinician I want to be—and make sure I notice when it happens.
14 April 2026Emergency Medicine MinutePodcast 1001: Acute Intermediate Risk Pulmonary EmbolismI’ve definitely felt the pull to “do something more” in these intermediate-risk PE patients, especially when the scan looks bad and the biomarkers are up. This is a useful check on that instinct. Improving a right ventricle on imaging at 48 hours feels reassuring, but it’s not the same as changing what actually matters to the patient. Next time, I’ll pause before escalating and ask myself whether I’m treating risk, or just reacting to it.
