    The absolute BEST podcast to create the right mindset for Medicine
    I’ve been listening to Dr. Rob Orman since WAY back in the days of ERCast. The STIMULUS podcast is more focused on the crucial mindset to practice medicine. And it’s Much needed these days, especially with the unprecedented numbers of physicians who are burnt out. Thank you for creating the show for all of us in healthcare! 💯

    It worries me
    Imagine listening to a podcast about investing with a host that voluntarily quit investing a year ago, or a parenting podcast with a host that voluntarily quit parenting a year ago. Just let that sink in.
  • Nicole Malia
    Thank you Dr. Orman
    Always intelligent, informative, insightful and presented with warmth and humor.

    The medical podcast to which all others are compared
    What an amazing podcast. As an attending in a busy trauma center, this my most highly recommended podcast. And Rob Orman incorporates so much beyond the facts, bringing in practice and personal insights and knowledge that are critical to our success and happiness as people as well as clinicians.
  • Tnics
    Rob Orman is the man
    If you're going to actually subscribe to one evidence based, CME generating podcast in emergency medicine, it this should be the one.

    Informative, and on point
    If you want information that is backed by evidence-based practice and research then you won’t be disappointed by listening to these podcasts. They are cutting edge, full of info and lively!! However, if you are listening and not being drawn into the discussion between Dr.Z and his guests or find this podcast a yawn (I am directing this comment to those who are healthcare providers: Docs/NPs/RN/PAs) then you need to seriously reflect on why you have lost your passion to effectively care for patients. Continue to bring it on Dr.Z!!

    Excellent
    I’ve been a practicing ED doc out of residency for 15 years. Every episode brings useful information and is well worth listening to.

    Rob has been changing my life for years
    Rob has been teaching me valuable and practical information for working in the ER for years - he also has this voice that makes me think that I can be a little more confident in my knowledge base and get more done for patients so it’s an intellectual and emotional support Maria Grotz NP

    Loved the bicarb in DKA expisode
    Classic Internal Medicine situation where we have to be careful of the ‘yes the patient died, but he had better numbers when he died’ scenario. When orthodoxy gets accepted too quickly, unintended consequences with worrisome outcomes may occur.
  • Flow_Pow
    Relevant and reliable
    Ideal resource for EM residents and learners of all levels. Entertaining conversations with experts, updated weekly. Wide variety of topics from practice updates to literature reviews to physician wellness. Just keeps getting better!

    The Best Info & The Best Delivery You Can Find
    Dr. Rob Orman is not only an awesome medical educator he is also a consummate “radio voice” both entertaining, funny, compassionate and brilliant. I’ve been listening to Robbo for over 6 years and my practice as a rural family practice provider has improved because of him. Dr. Orman also has an interest in primary care (that is appearing more and more in the ER as access is decreasing) and he expertly incorporates this info in the ER Cast discussions. In other words you don’t have to a dedicated ER provider to get a lot of useful information out of his presentations. Listen to a few of his podcasts and you’ll see what I mean. You’ll be hooked. His effort is obvious and his guests that he gets on the program are some of the best experts in their fields. This is a 5-Star program.
  • JasonsSweetie
    Doctor or patient, the content is relevant and intriguingly conveyed.
    Dr. Orman proves an excellent host. He is easy-going with his guests, which creates an atmosphere for thought provoking questions and answers. The content is relevant and he stays on topic, keeping the listener interested and engaged. I come away with a better understanding and a desire to dig deeper into each discussion Dr. Orman has so obviously taken time to research and prepare.
  • Podcast fun
    Informative without being boring!
    Pediatric ER RN- Methodist Children's ER in San Antonio, Texas. I Love the subjects and the discussions. I wish more ER doctors did podcasts!
  • TheHandsomeRN
    Great Show!
    Glad you are continuing the show. Entertaining and engaging host. Learned a lot as an RN from this show. Always recomend it to my freinds as one of the first FOAM podcasts they should try. If you like what you hear consider subscribing to EMRAP or Primary Care RAP both of which the host is greatly involved with. You get CE and more really entertaing and educational podcasts every month.

  • Ekgpress
    EXCELLENT in ALL Ways !!!
    As one who has only recently discovered ERCast - I have been tremendously impressed by the superb efforts of Dr. Rob Orman. I've already "combed the archives" to record past issues. Rob gets the BEST to join him as his guests - he moderates skillfully drawing out key points. I LOVE the way he summarizes what was presented with wonderful synthesis. Fun and highly educational to listen to - and truly a source of info not available elsewhere. Please KEEP UP the FANTASTIC work Rob! - Ken Grauer, MD

    Fascinating
    I won't pretend I know much about medicine but listening to this is fascinating. It seems so amazing when it is explain that way.
  • scarrol1
    Emergency medicine from a consultant's perspective- great stuff!
    Dr. Orman does a fantastic job of helping you understand EM from the consultant's perspective and how they manage the things we see everyday. In addition, his interviews of other EM leaders in the field are invaluable. Each episode is packed with great pearls that you can use on your next shift. If you practice in emergency medicine, you have to listen to this podcast.
  • snoo-snee
    Can't fall asleep--too interesting
    Wow. Great podcast to expand and fine-tune medical base. Love that practice standards are reviewed as well as differences in opinion. Especially like his forthrightness when the "why" of a particular standard is experience-based rather than scientifically-based. Both are equally important in practice. Besides, he's also very entertaining.
  • CountZero9
    Entertaining an educational.
    This podcast is so informative and entertaining that it has become a routine part of my drive in to work every week. Real world advice for the practicing ER doc.
  • NP in EM
    Love it!
    As an NP in EM I'm constantly looking to further educate myself in the complex care/ practice of EM. Your pod cast is definitely at the top! Please keep them coming! - great job, great delivery, great information!!
  • Dr. Jayhawk
    Very useful
    Great podcast. Really gets at the information I want to know.
  • tucsongal
    Great podcast
    As a retired ER nurse I enjoy hearing new updates etc. Thanks Dr. Orman.
  • AdRock VA
    Great topics and discussion
    Have been a practicing ER physician for 5 years and think this Podcast is excellent. I listen to alot of different Podcasts and think this is one of the best I have heard. It is short but sweet giving the practicing physician what he needs to know without getting bogged into mundane details. I listen to it in the car on the way to work and always find it helpful, enjoyable, and I learn a lot. Thanks Rob for all you do. Adam R. Practicing physician in Charlottesville, VA
  • markgellman
    Excellent, Educational and Fun
    Being a busy practicing Board Certified Emergency Physician, I'm always looking for a way to keep current and refresh on the go (in the car typically). Few programs/podcasts are as clinically relevant and potentially practice changing as Dr. Orman's project. The question and answer format with specialists in the field is engaging and a wonderful departure from Audio Digest. Between it, EM:RAP and EmCrit, you're covered. Thanks Doc O!
  • New RN in PDX
    RNs benefit, too
    As a new RN in the ED, I can use all the tips and tricks that I can get my gloves on. Dr. Orman's podcasts, while aimed at the ED physician, are full of little pearls that are helping ME help my ED docs take better care of our patients. Not only have I learned about manually irrigating bladders in hematuria patients (which I promptly did with confidence for the first time within a week of listening to that episode), I now understand more about hyponatremia and why the doc is or is not getting excited about that sodium level. Plus the learning is interspersed with laughing and that's gotta counteract new nurse burnout, right? Thanks for a great resource!
  • Np boy
    The stuff 4 what ails u
    Good info - including nice curb style consults with specialists from the Portland area. I work primary care and find some of the info helpful (pediatric hip evals - htn urgency etc). Plus it may lower your cholesterol, ease your heartburn n improve your drive... (I m # 75!)
