b'We often start with a diagnosis and teach from there \\u2013 for example CHF, asthma, and COPD are all podcast topics we have previously tackled. But, how to get to the final diagnosis is often a process that all levels of emergency providers struggle with. To go from a chaotic chest pain scene with unstable vitals then filter to a differential of #1 PE, #2 ACS, #3 TAD is often quite challenging. The \\u201cSerial Killer Series\\u201d is going to target the most common chief complaints and the killer diagnoses that you should always consider. We\\u2019re not going to spend time with non-emergent/chronic diagnoses, just the ones that are deadly when missed. That\\u2019s where we, as emergency providers, must begin. Today we\\u2019ll kick things off with acute chest pain.\\n\\n\\nREFERENCES\\n1.\\thttp://www.emdocs.net/em-in-5-approach-to-chest-pain/\\n\\n2.\\thttps://litfl.com/ecg-findings-in-massive-pericardial-effusion/\\n\\n3. https://www.mchd-tx.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/MCHDPP-79.pdf'
