The Cough That Wasn't Flu

Three weeks of cough in the middle of flu season. A negative rapid flu test, two rounds of antibiotics, and now she is septic on high-flow oxygen. She is also on a biologic for rheumatoid arthritis. What is your first order, and who needs a mask?

Who's behind Apex

Built by a clinician who has done the job

Apex Clinical Group was founded by a 75th Ranger Regiment combat medic and paramedic who became an intensive-care nurse and is now completing a Doctor of Nursing Practice as an acute-care nurse practitioner. The cases, lessons, and tools here come from emergency departments, trauma bays, combat medical units, and the ICU — not a textbook.
