As detailed in\\xa0this FOAMcastini, ACEP just released a\\xa0draft\\xa0of an updated clinical policy on tPA for acute ischemic stroke. \\xa0This came in the wake of years of controversy over the aggressive position taken in the\\xa02012\\xa0clinical policy.

While FOAMcast is not an interview style podcast, we felt compelled to get some perspective on Emergency Physicians a little more experienced than ourselves. \\xa0Here we interview:
