The Curse of the Q Word with Jennifer Geller
Published 4 years ago
Description
About 13% to 25% of Americans ADMIT to being superstitious, though the number of people who pick up pennies and believe in Friday the 13th shows that the percentage should be higher. However, in the area of science and medicine, there is no superstition...or is there? What does the word "quiet" really mean in the ED? Is it or is it not related to patient volume? Jennifer Geller, a second-year medical student at Rutgers, talks to us about her randomized control trial published in the American Journal of Emergency Medicine, which seeks to answer this question.Link to the study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35339973/
