- One-handed versus Two-handed CPR. When Dustin Banks is rushed to hospital after drowning in a river, ED staff tries to revive him by doing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). It is right when Noah Sexton uses only one hand for compressions.

- “Conversion disorder is a physical manifestation of a psychological desire.” When Kevin Roth suddenly suffers from left-sided paralysis, doctors thought he had a stroke. When MRI reveals no abnormalities, Dr. Charles begins to evaluate him. He’s right when he says that Kevin Roth is having conversion disorder which his subconscious mind decides that having a serious condition like paralysis might be a good way to accomplish his psychological desire. In reality, this disorder is a medical condition in which a person has blindness, paralysis, or other nervous system symptoms that can’t be explained by medical evaluation. These symptoms are thought to be an attempt to resolve the conflict the person feels inside
- “TPA could cause a massive hemorrhage.” Dr. Halstead is correct when he says that TPA can cause bleeding to patients. In fact, TPA is a tissue plasminogen activator is the only FDA-approved treatment for ischemic stroke. This is a protein is responsible for clot breakdown and its adverse effect is excessive bleeding.
FAKE
- Nothing’s wrong with the episode.
