Christian Espana MD PODCAST
Hello I am Christian Espana Schmidt MD. During my 25 years of medical career I have lived the change of the medical career. 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 still persists, 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 from scratch the POCUS program in Danbury Hospital and now I have started the POCUS program of CIFC Health a program dedicated exclusively to teach POCUS in the outpatient clinic. As you can see I already said I teach POCUS, however I am interested very much in other topics in medicine. I used to call the podcast the Danbury Medical Files, and you can hear the prior episodes.
Of course I will continue to discuss POCUS, however I hope to dive in new topics in medicine.
Welcome to my podcast and I hope you find something of value.
All of the content is not generated with AI, all content is cured and I try to present the evidence behind of my opinions.
The Podcast is mainly for entertainment purposes and my recommendations need to be taken as such.
Welcome again

Three cases in outpatient POCUS
In this episode of the Danbury Medial Files, I talk about three patients where POCUS was used successfully in the outpatient clinic.
I also talk about lidocaine side effects, anxiety as a common side effect of procedures.
A second case of abdominal pain and a two minutes diagnosis with POCUS.
A third case in avoiding a readmission.
Hopefully you find this interesting and entertaining.
