Welcome back Rounds Table Listeners!
We are back today with our Classic Rapid Fire Podcast!
This week, Drs. Mike and John Fralick do a Rapid Fire session to discuss two recent papers exploring hospital safety – specifically, which opioid is best to use after fractures requiring orthopedic surgery and how we can minimize sleep interruption in hospitalized patients. Two papers, here we go!
And for the Good Stuff:
- Here’s How Filmmakers Make Cameras Disappear In Front Of Mirrors Using Movie Magic (17:05 – 17:36).
- How To Trick Your Brain Into Falling Asleep (17:36 – 19:06)
Questions? Comments? Feedback? We’d love to hear from you! @roundstable
