Breakfast with Boo Boos, the grand reveal!

You're working at an ED in a small hospital, (or Coney on a very very very bad day) consult services take at home call and availability is consistently twenty minutes from arrival. A 20s-40s year old woman comes in, obese body habitus, no known medical history, ill appearing, unable to give a medical history. She mouths something that you think looks like 'baby' before she becomes unresponsive.  Clock starts ticking, good thing you trained at Coney Island Hospital. (copyright) 2020 ACGME accreditation. Welcome to Breakfast with Boo Boos.... TIME ZERO.
