Fentanyl the Good and the Bad
02/08/23 • 19 min
Hey everyone! Welcome back to another awesome episode.
Were talking about Fentanyl today, is it good? Is it bad? Honestly it really just depends on your perception and knowledge on the subject. Fentanyl has been a progressively more taboo subject for the past 2 decades but has amazing benefits as well as the ability to destroy very readily if not handled properly.
With the world falling into chaos and overdoses at an all-time high, it is more important than ever for you as the provider or in the public to understand what Fentanyl is and become an educator for those that do not know. You guys are all amazing and I hope you enjoy the show!

Assessing Pediatric Patients
This episode goes into depth on how to assess pediatric patients with the special consideration s about their developmental stages. Its important to remember that in healthcare, how we interact with the patient is one of the most important tools that we have to sharpen in our practice. I hope this episode gives more insight on best practices and helps you as a provider be more comfortable with assessing pediatrics. There are many considerations for this group of patients that cannot be covered in one single episode.
