I listen to ~90 #Podcasts on a (semi) regular basis. Let me give you a rundown of ALL of them and why you should listen to some amazing #FOAMed, especially for all the new #EmergencyMedicine interns. #FOAMed #MedEd #medtwitter
First of all, you need a good podcast app. I absolutely love Downcast. Great app, gives you more control over playback, downloading, and allows you to categorize your podcasts into playlists (picture 2). This is where you get to customize your #FOAMed experience! #medtwitter 
In no particular order,
- Anesthesia and Critical Care Reviews and Commentary (ACCRAC). Great insight into Crit Care from an anesthesia perspective. Coming from EM, this is great to listen to- much different from my day-to-day! #FOAMed #FOAMcc #CriticalCare

42yo F has anxiety and chronic abdominal pain worsening with fasting or occasional alcohol. She is finally found to have elevated serum and urine porphobilinogen. Which of the following medications may be implicated in the patientโs presentation? #foamtox @DallasEMed @DallasTXTox
Answer here is: ๐ฃ๐ต๐ฒ๐ป๐ผ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฏ๐ถ๐๐ฎ๐น. The root of the problem is acute intermittent porphyria - deficiency of porphobilinogen deaminase in the heme synthesis. Medications that induce ALA synthase leads to build up of prophobilinogen and acute crises. #foamtox @DallasEMed
