Ep 1. Dizziness: A Differential That Spins Out of Control 05.10.2026 1h 4mDizzy, lightheaded, woozy, off-balance, like the room is spinning, like they might pass out : patients describe it in may different ways, which makes it one of the most common and most frustrating complaints in medicine. In our first episode we lay out a practical way to think through dizziness: the key questions to ask when taking history, the exam findings that narrow the differential, and the red flags you can't afford to miss. Then we put it into practice, walking through clinical cases step by step. Whether you're a trainee or just curious, you'll leave with an approach you can use at the bedside.
