Seizures… Again?!
Seizures, Weakness & the Lumbar Puncture Debate – A Tough Emergency Case
In this episode, Ben and I tackle a complex Emergency Department case—a patient presenting with seizures and left arm weakness. It’s a tricky scenario that sparks a key debate: Should we perform a lumbar puncture?
