Hi, I'm a board-certified emergency medicine physician, and I make plain-English explainer videos about the conditions I see and treat in the ER. Medical emergencies are scary enough without the added stress of not understanding what's actually happening to your body — so my goal is to break these conditions down clearly, without the jargon, so you feel a little more informed and a little less afraid.

I recently put together a video on aortic dissections: what it actually is, the warning signs most people miss, when it's time to call 911, and what typically happens once you arrive in the ER. I know an aneurysm and a dissection aren't the same thing, but since an aneurysm can meaningfully raise your risk of developing a dissection, I thought it might be useful context for this community.

I focused on cutting through common misconceptions and explaining everything the way I'd want a family member to hear it. I hope it helps anyone looking to better understand aortic emergencies.

Hi, I’m a board certified emergency medicine physician (MD) and I create medical explainer videos about conditions I treat in the emergency department because I know how confusing and stressful it can be when you’re faced with a medical emergency and don’t know what to expect or do. I recently made one about venomous snake bites that explains how to tell the difference between venomous and nonvenomous snakes, what snake venom actually does to the body, what to do (and what not to do) if someone is bitten, and what typically happens once you get to the ER. I see snake bites from time to time, so I tried to answer some of the common questions patients ask me and debunk some of the biggest myths surrounding snake bites. I hope it’s helpful to anyone looking to better understand venomous snake bites.

Hi, I’m an emergency physician, and I create medical explainer videos about conditions I treat in the emergency department because I know how overwhelming it can be when you or someone you love is suddenly dealing with a health problem. I recently made one about kidney stones that explains why they happen, when it’s time to go to the ER, what separates a typical stone from a life threatening stone, and how they’re typically treated. I see people with kidney stones all the time so I tried to answer some of the common questions patients ask me and debunk some myths with this video. I hope it’s helpful to anyone looking to better understand kidney stones.
