 January 8

by Jonathan Downham

“Magnesium For the Win!”- with Bryan Boling.
Guest: Habib Srour
Dr. Srour is an attending in the Anesthesia Critical Care Division at the University of Kentucky where I practice.
The episode is the first in a mini-series on electrolyte imbalances in the ICU. I hope to record an episode on hyponatremia soon.
