The Danbury Medical Files
Hello, I am Christian Espana Schmidt, MD. During my 25 years of medical career, I have witnessed changes in the medical profession. Starting as a medical student in Guatemala, Central America, where after medical school I completed my internal medicine residency, and then I served in a rural community for 6 years with innovation that persists, I went to New York City, where I repeated another internal medicine residency and was chief resident. My joy for teaching took me to Pensilvania where I learned about Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) a revolutionary technique to enhance physical examinations. I proudly started the POCUS program at Danbury Hospital. Now, I am developing the POCUS program of CIFC Health, a program dedicated exclusively to teaching POCUS in the outpatient clinic. As you can see, I already said I teach POCUS; however, I am very interested in other topics in medicine.
Of course I will continue to discuss POCUS, however I hope to dive in new topics in medicine.

The Danbury Medical Files
POCUS and Portal hypertension.
This is a follow-up from my prior episode; as I finished uploading and had a second look at that episode, I figured out that I was discussing the case of the patients like I was doing a small teaching, and everyone could see what I was saying.
Today I will try to describe the findings of portal hypertension that are feasible to evaluate with POCUS in the medical ward, the outpatient clinic and the critical care setting.
Hopefuly this is an interesting episode.
