Lastly, Dr. Frankenfeld walked us through some of the data around when patients leave against medical advice, how to try to avoid this, and how to appropriately counsel our patients.

A Fix for a Stinging Heart - Pericarditis Treatment in the ED

Pericarditis is inflammation of the pericardial sac. Classically, pericarditis presents with sharp and pleuritic chest pain which is relieved by sitting up and forward.

For presumed viral, idiopathic causes, most patients are treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and colchicine (1).
