| 1/24/23 | A Cardiac Arrest Story: Patient Interview | This episode is a departure from the typical FOAMcast clinical content, we will be back with strictly clinical content soon.

Billy Frolick, a writer and our patient that day, shares his perspective on his case with us. In addition, we highlight important clinical pearls, notably the importance of continuous chest compressions and early defibrillation.
