I write a column for ACEP News on "Tricks of the Trade". This next installment will be on ENT pearls, co-authored with Dr. Deb Colina at Michigan State's EM residency program, who once was my UCSF medical student advisee. It is amazing what kids can put in their ears and nose, and even more amazing the amount of creativity that EM physicians have to get them out. I am working on getting less-blurry, higher resolution images to submit to the editor's office in the next few days. If you don't have a digital SLR camera already, I highly recommend getting one for fun and work.
