Description

Today I will be discussing another introductory topic that is pretty necessary before diving into specific pathophysiology topics and conditions. We will be covering the three I's or inflammation, infection, and immunity. This is again a very introductory episode so I am not going into crazy detail on any topic, but it is good surface-level info! Learn why your skin gets hot and gross when you have a splinter, or why blood-typing matters in terms of infusions!
