Absorb all (but not too much) of the Calcium for your brain hole as Dr. Carl Pallais (Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital) walks us through his approach to Hypercalcemia. We learn about how tightly our body regulates calcium, and what to do when that regulation goes awry.\xa0 Not to mention that, at the end of the day, PTH is the name to remember (and phosphorus, if you need a quick stand-in while that PTH is pending).
