In this super HY rapid review, I discuss a host of troublesome topics and show you the many permutations your friends at the NBME use to flesh out your understanding. Focus on learning the reasoning behind these presentations and the subtle variations in why one diagnosis/answer is more correct than the other. There are no attached slides. I also discuss a life lesson at the end.

Divine Intervention Episode 304 – The Floridly HY Trauma/Ortho Podcast Part 2 (for the surgery/EM shelf and Step 2CK/3).
This podcast is a continuation of Episode 221 (Part 1). In this podcast, I discuss a host of super HY trauma/ortho scenarios that classically pop up on USMLE exams. One big focus in this one are scenarios that are unusual but have a basis in sound pathophysiology. The NBME routinely exploits these for their benefit with head scratching questions. I spend a lot of time explaining mechanistic reasoning so it’s easy to remember. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 303 – Diabetes and The USMLEs Part 3 (Final Part).
In this HY podcast, I wrap up our discussion of diabetes as classically tested on the USMLE exams. As I did in episodes 301/302, I make tons of integrations with other disciplines and go through pathophysiology as a means of aiding thorough understanding. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 300 – Comprehensive Coronavirus/COVID-19 Podcast for The USMLEs (Step 1-3).
In this extremely high yield podcast, I go into a thorough discussion of the coronavirus/COVID-19 in the context of NBME exams.
