Welcome back to the Barbell Medicine podcast where we bring modern medicine

to strength and conditioning to modern medicine. I'm your host

Dr. Jordan Feigenbaum.

On this podcast, we're going to talk about exercise related

case reports.

Now, case reports are write-ups of a patient's clinical presentation

and their course of care.

These are pretty low on the hierarchy of evidence, but they can be useful for learning about how common things present uncommonly or how uncommon things present period and you know things to watch out for as a professional whether you're in the fitness space

medical space and it also may help reinforce a number of important concepts and

relationships related to medicine and training that we've covered on previous

podcasts the format will use mirrors

what would actually be taking place in a hospital or a doctor's office where

pieces of the puzzle are revealed little by little and it's fun for me because I

already know these cases I looked these cases up and I did kind of a deep dive into each of them and Austin has no idea.

So on the other end of the line is the second most handsome doctor in North America.

Dr Austin Baraki, what's going on man?

Hey, I'm doing okay, working in the hospital in the moment

and it seems like I'm getting a little bit of extra juices

flowing for some experimental podcasting here, mystery cases. I like it.

Yeah, you know it's so I do frequently read case reports and if they're published in some journals that I tend to review.

And I thought, this would be cool to have like a podcast series,

you know, every now and then we'll just call it case files.
