An instructional video from pediatric otolaryngologist Dr. Ellen Friedman was recently showcased in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) online feature on Videos in Clinical Medicine.
In the 15-minute video, Friedman outlines the best approaches and techniques for “Removal of Foreign Bodies from the Ear and Nose.” Subscribers to the journal can view the video on NEJM.org.
“The readership of the NEJM is very broad, and their section on Videos in Clinical Medicine is very popular,” Friedman said. “Since the removal of foreign bodies of the ear and nose takes place around the world in emergency rooms and clinics – usually by primary care physicians – I hope that this instructional video will be helpful.”
Chief of Otolaryngology Dr. Ellis Arjmand said Friedman is one of the best known pediatric otolaryngologists in the country and is a true leader in the field. Through the video on NEJM.org, Arjmand said many physicians will have the opportunity to benefit from Friedman’s knowledge and experience.
In addition to her duties at Texas Children’s, Friedman is director of the Center for Professionalism in Medicine and a professor of Otolaryngology at Baylor College of Medicine.
