Brady Pregerson, MD

Dr Pregerson's podcast EM Logic focuses on pitfalls in emergency medicine such as confusing a cause with a coincidence, being falsely reassured by false negative tests, or getting burned by illogical assumptions.

We hope to improve the care you provide your patients and keep you from being an honored guest at your department’s next peer review meeting.
